oh come on I love Asellus/White Rose and it was *my* first yuri in videogames but it cannot possibly be the first ever yuri game. For one thing there were at least 3 SNES games with yuri protagonists, most notoriously Eien no Filena

5h58 da manhã eu comecei a discutir no meio da rua com a folgada q quer ir pra academia comigo.
O ponto de ônibus cheio e a gente discutindo altíssimo.
Quartou!
Tasan viikko sitten meni metsäkone tien perälle. Tänään se lähti.
Ilmeisesti 12ha metsää on nyt sileänä enkä tiedä haluanko mennä katsomaan.
they came over first because they missed me, but second because I'm being very overthinky about a person I have started talking to and they were like "I'm coming over, let's bake brownies and talk about BOYS" bwahahahahaha
they're such a sweetheart 🖤
(we didn't make brownies--there wasn't really enough time until I had to go to bed. but it was still a really lovely evening)
They don't lie because they are bad people, they lie because it works, they lie because they believe you are fucking stupid.
Prove them wrong?

"'Israel uses Eurovision for propaganda'" [ ± 1-3 min]

Quote by MEE:
"May 12, 2025
"For years Israel has always used Eurovision as a platform for propaganda."
Residents of Basel, Switzerland — the host city for the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest — have called on organisers to ban Israel from this year’s competition, as protesters took to the opening parade demanding action.
Many carried Palestinian flags and banners, urging authorities at Eurovision and the European Broadcasting Union to take a moral stand.
The calls reflect growing international outrage over Israel’s ongoing atrocities on Gaza and its long record of human rights violations against Palestinians — actions many argue make its inclusion in a contest celebrating unity and peace deeply inappropriate.
Over 70 former Eurovision contestants have signed an open letter demanding that Israel and its national broadcaster, KAN, be barred from participating.
Israel’s presence at Eurovision has long been controversial, not only due to its geographical location outside Europe but also because of its systemic abuses and occupation, which critics say stand in stark contrast to the values the contest claims to represent."
