A story of a #trans #activist's escape from #Crimea
#LiliyaKhvylka was under house arrest with an ankle bracelet. From Crimea she navigated her way through #Russia and #Belarus
The entire #LGBT community is an "extremist organization" in Russia and in the occupied areas you can be disappeared
She participated in the 2014 #Ukraine#Euromaidan protests
She is being tried in abstentia and faces 15 years in Russian prison

Won't get as much attention as the #murder of someone I'd never heard off in #Utah, but this suspicious killing of Vian Ruma, a young #environmental #activist in #Indonesia deserves as much, if not more, global attention.
We're losing too many of our future in #Asia.

🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇵🇸💻🌱
I'm looking for a single #room from the 1 of September, anywhere in #Brussels. I am a native Italian speaker and I fluently speak English. I work remotely for a software company.
💡I have been a #techworkers #organizer 🤖 and #climatejustice #activist 🌿 for the last 5 years and I really look forward to meet people that can introduce me to the Brussels #grassroot political scene.
🗓️ I have 11 years of coliving experience. I am able to take care of myself and to keep shared spaces clean and in order once I'm done using them. I love to spend time together but at the same time, I strongly value boundaries and alone time.
💕 I am looking for a community with empathy and good vibes.
I sometimes smoke but it's no problem smoking only outside of the house. Budget between 600 and 700, utilities included .
✨New #introduction for my new Mastodon home:
Hi, I'm Emily! I'm interested in the human side of the web—using it to connect, not consume.
Among other things, I'm...
— an #artist, #activist, #writer, educator, speaker
— #ActuallyAutistic#AUDHD (#Autistic with an #ADHD booster pack 🚀)
— seeking community (human-to-human stuff!)
— excited (and terrified!) to be here
🖥️ I have an "okay enough" #website that would be thrilled to see you (it has BIG feelings, like me!): https://fromemily.com

Y’all. Andrea Gibson lost their battle with cancer this morning. About five hours ago, in fact.
They leave behind an unjust world with a little bit of magic from people like them. People who make the human experience worth fighting for.
Here’s a quote I posted from them earlier this year.
I welcome you to read a poem or listen to some spoken word from Andrea, to honor their life.
Rest in power, Andrea.

A quite nuanced expert investigation into possible #activist applications of #AI ☺️🤖 https://www.juniperbevensee.com/musings/does-ai-suck #LLMs
Personally I am in the anarchic "hate it" camp but even so, https://bsky.app/profile/juniperbevensee.bsky.social illuminates a lot about how bias and censorship are encoded into #ChatGPT & other commercial tools.
i'm floored. deeply grateful. absolutely love y'all <3
30% of the way!! Please keep boosting... I am so excited to be able to take Assata to their swim lessons this summer, keep finding free & discounted baby items around town, & have some delightful outdoor social adventures while the weather is warm ☀️
