There are two reasons I never had trouble accepting Trans people. One is that I got a good biology education even before going to Uni to study it. The other is that I did read Terry Pratchett's fantastic books. If you can do both, but at bare minimum read the books!

He was very good in person with his trans fans too. Growing up going to SF cons, I met many trans people before I even knew what trans meant. I gave my parents very little they needed to accept in their child, so they had lots left over for everyone else. 😉 www.thepinknews.com/2021/08/06/t...

Zelensky seems tired of the American administration. But he is right: It is dishonest to claim that there is a diplomatically impossible situation when there are plenty of levers they could pull if they wanted to.

President Zelenskyy’s comment on US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s remarks that the war in Ukraine is at a "strategic stalemate" and that there are now "no prospects for a negotiated settlement": "You cannot negotiate future economic projects with Russians on the one hand and, on the other,

A US embassy staffer accused of having indecent images of children is flown back to the US before the Met can question him - wrapped in diplomatic protection he doesn’t even hold as a diplomat. Special relationship. Special rules. Justice optional.

An unusual encounter in the sky: six Ukrainian interceptor drones converged on a single Russian Gerbera drone

Wild Hornets 🐝@wildhornets.bsky.social

Six interceptors, one Gerbera — and a real chase in the sky 😎 This unique moment was captured during a combat mission by the 18th Sloviansk Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine.

For comparison, Ukraine is asking for 300 Patriot missiles to get through the winter.

🇺🇸🇸🇦 Reuters: In the first 38 days of the war with Iran, Saudi Arabia reportedly fired around 2,400 PAC-3 missiles, or 86% of its stock, leaving 400. The US used 1,500, leaving 850 missiles, or 35% of its regional stockpile.

This is true. Putin will rather run Russia into the ground than stop the war. So that is the trajectory we are on.

Kate from Kharkiv@kateinkharkiv.bsky.social

VOLKER: We'll never have a peace agreement with Putin. That would require Putin to accept that Ukraine is a sovereign, independent state, that Zelenskyy is legitimate leader, that there's an international border between Russia and Ukraine. Putin will never agree to those things.

Sounds like colonialism is back in vogue.

Think. About. This. The U.S. Treasury receives the revenue from most of Venezuela’s exports, then disburses it gradually to Venezuela through the country’s private banks…. Mr. Rubio and his team set the conditions on what that money can be spent on, and by whom. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/u...

Happy Constitution Day, Ukraine! 🇺🇦 One of my favorite facts is that in 1710, Pylyp Orlyk created a constitution that many historians consider one of the first modern constitutions in Europe. It reminds us that the ideas of freedom, accountability, and democracy have deep roots in Ukrainian history.

Eh, what?? »"Russia is not looking for a conflict . . . They do understand the term 'defensive alliance', and they do understand that we have a number of asymmetric advantages," Grynkewich said.«

Andy Scollick@andyscollick.bsky.social

Time to call out SACEUR Grynkewich's bullshit. This is clearly a result of pressure from Hegseth and Russia's Elbridge Colby (no, that's not a typo). #NATO The SACEUR is traditionally a US General or Admiral. This must now change. To put political 'expediency' before proper judgement is criminal.

I think Ukraine should suggest @billbrowder.bsky.social as mediator.

The Kyiv Independent@kyivindependent.com

⚡️ EU, Ukraine reject Germany's ex-Chancellor Schroeder as peace talks mediator. Kaja Kallas noted that Gerhard Schroeder has worked as "a high-level lobbyist for Russian state-owned companies," and that it is clear why Vladimir Putin "wants him" as the mediator.
