⚡️US sides with Russia in UN resolution on Chornobyl disaster.
Washington's representative said the U.S. voted against the resolution not because it opposed nuclear safety measures, but because it objected to references to the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Let me explain what you see.
It is a traditional Ukrainian pavuk (spider) – a Christmas-season decoration made of straw and hung from the ceiling.
Shaped like a light floating sculpture,
the pavuk was believed to keep the home in balance, absorb anything negative, and bring harmony to the family

Something I have to reiterate is that you are being straight up lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale, this instance reporting is already being torn to shreds by other people commenting, but the frequency of this kind of reporting is astonishing, it's neverending.
You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

Has anyone got good photography from the Trans+ protests earlier this year where people protested topless?
I’d like to include this in the @transhistoryweek.com workbook next to our story published before about the topless protests in 1970s Milan

Tops off: The public pool protest changed Trans+ rights in Italy
One summer in Milan, a group of trans women's topless protest was a spark to a broader movement in Italy that changed Trans+ rights across the country

Green Party Conference recently passed some amazing healthcare policy for the trans community. It commits us to an informed consent model of trans healthcare, a trans-led public inquiry into NHS care, a trans-inclusive ban on conversion therapy, and so much more.

💡I got heating in my flat today for the 1st time (in central Kyiv).
Scheduled power outages (deep gratitude to repair workers!) mean we have electricity only a few hours a day. It is bad, but still enough to charge all devices & keep on working despite it all.
Hopefully we will get through this.

This Trans Day of Remembrance, my heart hurts thinking of all the people we couldn't carry through to the other side of this moment in history.
Amidst all the fighting we've done for our community, amidst the unshakeable belief that we will win in the end, grief still takes hold.
