Someone clever (@upandoutcomic) asked people "When did you realize you didn’t have to identify as the gender you were assigned at birth? What made that ol' mental lightbulb turn on?" This short thread was my reply: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1…

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine, hampering the country's defenses during a devastating Russian attack; and Trump waived sanctions on Russia that Congress, led by his late friend Lindsey Graham, had pushed for. Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine’s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China. We’ll see if Putin’s puppet continues to dance on his strings.

Today I woke up in Silent Hill (but with no electricity, because we also have Russia for a neighbour)

Amazing bravery by Ukrainians rescuing their townspeople from Russian occupation
100s of people are trapped in the occupied Ukrainian city of Oleshky. We spoke to some of the residents who escaped last week. Here’s what they told us:

Voor alle Russische propagandisten en elke wappie die in Russische propaganda is getrapt: Aanschouw de Poolse Minister van Buitenlandse Zaken die bij de VN stap voor stap de hele Russische propagandamachine feitelijk ontmantelt.

Truss/Badenoch thoroughly corrupted NHS🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (its responses to the 1st Bell judgment & Cass being proof). Today shows Labour has done zero house cleaning. But it's the local trusts carry the can if they follow the advice & out #StealthTrans to other staff/patients/neighbours/haters

Anonymity and free speech go hand in hand. You need it most when speaking carries real risk of retaliation, cancellation, or punishment from those in power.
Anonymity is your birthright, anons.

These are the in-between days, the cusp of seasons. Autumn is sidling through the branches and hedgerows, daily brushing more of her bronze and gold into the green. Every falling leaf, every misty morning, ushers summer a little further along the lane. 📍 Peak District, England

A lifetime of breaking barriers. A legacy of fighting for justice. Congratulations to Navi Pillay on being awarded the 2026 #NobelPeacePrize! 🕊️ Her recognition is a reminder that progress takes courage, persistence and people who refuse to give up. #ForAllWomenAndGirls

A couple in Chachoengsao carried their autistic son in a large plastic basin through fast-flowing, chest-high floodwaters so he could make his hospital appointment. The boy was also running a high fever. Local officials saw the family and sent a vehicle to help them reach safety. The community has been flooded for 11 days, with some areas still too deep and dangerous for small vehicles. #Thailand #Chachoengsao #Flood

"She was served up like a piece of meat." A former Cornell University student - identified as 'Jane Doe' - has accused seven men of sexually assaulting her in October 2024. Jane Doe's lawyer Thomas Giuffra tells me this is the most important case he's ever handled in his life. With a civil lawsuit filed and the criminal investigation reopened, the case has sparked shock worldwide.
