A farewell ceremony for the Ukrainian poet Maksym Krivtsov, call sign "Dali" was held on the Maidan

The poet died at the front on January 7 together with his red cat. The poet and warrior will be buried tomorrow in the city of Rivne.

Kryvtsov went to the front as a volunteer back in 2014. After the start of a full-scale invasion, he again went to defend his Motherland.

They probably have to stay in russia. Nobody else is willing to eat food that low quality.

@jasonkoebler Yeah, I'm glad I decided over a year ago to make Mastodon my new social media home. I've never felt a need to go elsewhere.

Ginza was grooming herself up on the bed and noticed that I was taking pictures, so she stuck out her right front paw and tried to grab the camera. #CatsOfMastodon

The backlash against Palestine in education isn’t just happening in universities. There have also been dozens of educators disciplined at primary and secondary schools across the U.S. for teaching about the Israeli attack on Gaza.

#trans women who grew up in conservative households: how did you escape?

I'm a closeted teen stuck in one right now, have no idea wtf I'm going to do, and would appreciate any stories/advice from older folk.

@detondev reshared this to a private discord I'm in for trans people over 30 in my local area. I don't have the intersection of experiences you're looking for but I'm rooting for you!

West Virginia senate bill 197 aims to classify transgender people as obscene matter and bans them from public spaces within 2,500 feet of a school

It bans *people* from *being*

It defines living, breathing people as objects “in a patently offensive way…lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.”

There is no hate like Christian love

Dear the Press: The REASON Trump launches these tirades, is bc he knows you're all INCAPABLE of reporting on the evidence that came before it. Simply absolute incapable of reporting on anything but his tirade, allowing him to drown out facts.

#Democrats would do well to follow #HunterBiden’s example and walk out on #Republican bullshit.

Democrats have right on their side.

Unfortunately it’s time to get down and dirty and fight fire with fire.

The #GOP will be destroyed by their own tactics because despite the bluff and bluster, they’re HOLLOW.

They have NO SUBSTANCE.

Playing nice won’t win this time.

#EndTheGOP once and for all.

Expose them all.
