‘Keep your socks on your feet’ What to know about Russian rapper Vacio, who was jailed and then drafted into the military after attending the ‘almost naked’ party in nothing but a sock — Meduza

Russian rapper Vacio (Nikolay Vasilev) attended TV presenter Nastya Ivleeva’s now-infamous “almost naked” party in Moscow. His costume? A single Balenciaga sock covering his penis. This became somewhat of a symbol for the whole debacle, and the authorities decided to make an example of him. At first, he was jailed for 15 days and fined 200,000 rubles (around $2,250) for “LGBT propaganda.” Then, as he was leaving the police station, he was stopped and thrown back in jail for another 10 days — this time, allegedly, for swearing.

“Five, ten minutes before the meeting was to start,” he explained. “Or we were reading about an announcement of a decision already been made by the UK government.”

Helping each other – Frits Ahlefeldt: Art, stories & hiking

drawing one helping story shelters hiking by frits ahlefeldt

Not wanting help feels like an instinct, I think both to me, and to the hikers by the shelter, not to need help, not to ask, or accept it, if we can avoid it. I can both see why, and I can see the problem in it.

Still amazed and thankful for all the help I got I found a pencil in my backpack and some paper, to see if I could somehow sketch up the story, here it is:
