Ukrainian energy infrastructure
is under a massive russian attack.
It was the first message
I read this morning.
So, I quickly got up,
put charging everything,
made a warcoffee

And following the route of missiles.

Updates from Kyiv.
A missile attack is going on.
I had a warcoffee
Washed hair,
Each device is being charged,
Ecoflow is almost 100% charged.

Power outage schedules were updated.
Nine hours without power
today, at least.
A missile attack is going on.

All is clear in Ukraine.
The missile attack is over.
That's it,
we have no power at home.

After such a morning, I feel like that strange creature in Taras Danylych's painting.
Turyansky carols, 2024

I have made a couple of additions to my starter pack for military, national security and #Ukraine experts.

I’m super excited to launch my second Starter Pack. These are some of the stronger fighters for freedom and democracy, and they’ve all done a great job advocating for our shared progressive values. Please do me a big favor and hit “Follow Everyone” so you can help amplify ALL their voices. 💙

Hi everyone,

I just created a starter pack of people - both from Europe and the US - who vigorously defend democracy and fight against the rise of the far-right and nationalism.

Some are #FBPE, but not all. I primarily paid attention to the content of their timeline.

I have updated my #Ukraine and future of war starter pack to account for some new arrivals on Bluesky. I hope it is useful. Enjoy!

Kyiv has something to tell russians
who want us to fear
and stop living.

Christmas is coming.
We will celebrate it and life.

I saw this Christmas tree
in the mall earlier today.

10 pm in Kyiv.
I am having a late dinner and drones.
But the most important thing I want to say
is that I am grateful for the people in my life.
This strong feeling that I am (we are) not alone
fills my heart with gratitude.
So, thank you.

I hope drones will be successfully downed.

As a rule of thumb, I find that if a post says "This is huge" about a breaking story, it generally turns out not to be.

*Updated Starter Pack
*Not all of them are added to the Georgian 🇬🇪🇪🇺 #GeorgiaProtests Feed yet(I will add them there later, once I do some kind of Georgian Feed Filter to keep all the posts there about Georgia etc.)

Any thoughts? Thank you

If you’re keen on building a really healthy news environment on Bluesky from the outset… 🦋

…then please do follow all (and share!) these publications of the Bylines Network (local citizen journalism) and these other for-public-good news sources…

Repost if BlueSky is now your primary social media site.

Cities are at the heart of the problem and cities have the solution, as the iconic mayor of Curitiba, Jaime Lerner, liked to say.
So for the climate in all our cities, follow the starter pack that @brenttoderian.bsky.social and @katharinehayhoe.com have created.
And let's stick together 💪🏼

I will never forgive Bloomberg news for normalizing Trump and giving him a HUGE platform by interviewing him on October 15.

Can you please RT and follow us so we can overtake them them on Bluesky?

This will be a huge victory for new media. 💙🙏

Surely he didn't lie to us!

Great to see you on here Niall.

🚨🚨 It took me ages and I am pretty certain I missed a number of people that should be on the list but I made my first starter pack now for #brexit and #ukpolitics here: go.bsky.app/NZG5maf

Evening in Kyiv.
Mild and calm.
However, it is very cold and grey.
So, when I notice some other colors,
they make me stop and watch.

The moments we cherish.
The moments of our life.

NEW! Research Letters | Collection from Yaroslava | 1 post | Patreon Get more from Yaroslava on Patreon

Today, I started a new collection of letters.
Research Letters.

I choose a topic from Ukrainian history or culture, thoroughly research it, and write about it simply and interestingly.

Why should you care?
I tell you about our past, which can be the world's future.

Hi.
How should I start?
Honestly.
I have a feeling that my story with X/Twitter will be over soon.
So, I will duplicate my tweets here.

I know that many good people I met on Twitter are here.
I have a diary on Threads.
But it is different and will stay different.

#warcoffee, world?

Brexit isn't over. It never will be. And it's going to be a big issue in this parliament. Follow this lot for all you need to know (and more) go.bsky.app/HEtRaPj

Those of us who want Musk to get out of our politics (about which he knows nothing and cares less), and for X to stop facilitating and encouraging murderous racist thugs and vile abuse, need to act.

Lots of us have to act or it won’t work.

Suggestions: RT if you agree.

May it never come back up again.

I love that the sunlit uplands have turned to "well it hasn't done any damage".

Can't actually find Yaxley-Lennon

I'm racking my brain trying to think which specific instance you're reffering to....

Has anyone told Rishi?
