Help a Ukrainian family!
When the war in Ukraine started my parents took in a Ukrainian family of four as well as an unaccompanied teenager into their home in Germany.
All five of them are now planning on going to Canada because they have family there. They got a visa, but have to pay for a medical examination to be able to stay in Canada once they arrive there (170€ per person).
We are also trying to raise a minimum amount of 3000€ for the plane tickets to Canada for all of them.
They are allowed to stay in Germany until the 30th of May.
Even the smallest amount of money is appreciated!
Here's the gofundme

Adventures in Librarian-ing
One of the Ukrainian refugee students at the elementary school I work at came running up to me at library time today to excitedly show me that her parents had gotten her a little squishmallow for her for Valentine's.
She was clearly super thrilled about it so I made a huge deal over how cute it was and asked her if I could pet it. She was beaming and clearly very proud of her new toy the whole time.
It looked like this:

She was super shy at first because she didn't speak any English, so the fact she now speaks English enough to chat and came out of her shell is huge.

Western white men fetishizing Eastern women is an old issue, now some are literally happy because of genocidal war, hoping "they won't be single anymore" because of Ukrainian refugees.

Notice how the man even says "girls" and not "women"? Well, see the next photo.

Reposting the screens because the person who originally posted them is a terf but this is fucking important and shouldn't be left to terfs.

Body of Ukrainian refugee found in Germany, her child missing
The body of a 27-year-old woman who had moved from Ukraine and lived in a refugee shelter has been found in Germany, Bild reports.
A passer-by found the body of a young woman on the banks of the Rhine in the town of Hockenheim. Investigators found out that the deceased woman was 27 years old and she lived in a refugee camp.
The German media reports:
On a popular hiking trail something terrible happened. On Thursday, a passer-by discovered a dead body here. The pedestrian was travelling between Herrenteich and Lüsshof at around 10:20 a.m. when he saw the shocking find at the NATO ramp (an emergency military crossing on rivers).
A month and a half ago, the woman gave birth to a daughter whose whereabouts are still unknown. The body of the deceased showed signs of violent death, the city’s police said. Her mother, who, according to the investigation, is the main witness to the murder, also lived with the Ukrainian woman, but they have not been able to find her yet.
About 60 police officers are investigating the case. Service dogs have been involved in the search, but so far the efforts of the law enforcers have not been successful.
According to various estimates, more than one million refugees from Ukraine live in Germany.

Transgender Ukrainians struggle to continue treatment
Tumblr media
CNN reports that many transgender Ukrainians within the country and abroad find it hard to get access to hormones and other types of treatment.
Eric, a 23-year-old transgender man from Ukraine, explains:
“The clinic had closed because of the danger of airstrikes. I had the testosterone, but no way of getting [it administered]. I didn’t have the needles and there were huge shortages of everything in pharmacies, even the most basic stuff, because obviously, during the war, there’s a big need for things like syringes.”
A lack of hormones
The Ukrainian transgender rights group Cohort says it has helped more than 1,500 people since the start of the war, assisting them to move to safer areas and helping them pay their bills, CNN writes. The NGO also works with shelters to make sure they have the basic supplies they need.
Getting access to hormones has become a major challenge. The war has interrupted supply chains.
Russian transphobic propaganda helps trans people in Ukraine
The Russian government has become increasingly homophobic and transphobic since the beginning of the war, blaming queer folks for waging a gender war against "traditional values".  This has become the normal excuse for fascist terror these days, it seems, on both sided of the Atlantic.
This has, ironically, helped the transgender cause in Ukraine, as support for queer people is now seen as part of an overall effort to protect humanistic and democratic European values in Ukraine. The discriminatory Russian rhetoric has pushed more Ukrainians to speak up.
Transgender Ukrainians abroad
More than 7.8 million Ukrainians have left the country. Some of them are trans.  
CNN explains:
The rights of trans people are weaker in some European Union countries than they are in Ukraine. For example, the Czech Republic, Finland, Latvia, Hungary and Romania still require trans people to undergo sterilization if they want to change their gender – despite a 2017 ruling by the European Court of Human Rights, which found such laws violate Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. A bill seeking to overturn the requirement is currently making its way through the parliament in Finland.
Poland and Hungary, two countries that border Ukraine and have seen a large influx of refugees, have both seen a pushback against LGBTQ rights in recent years – so much so that the European Commission launched legal action against them over the issue in July 2021.
In a country like Norway, transgender refugees will find it non-problematic to get their real name and gender respected legally (including getting correct ID-cards), but they face the same problems as everyone else when it comes to getting access to hormones. A gender dysphoria diagnosis from Ukraine is not automatically accepted by all doctors.
According to a report by Transgender Europe, waiting times for an initial appointment with a specialist can stretch to years in several European Union countries, including Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands and Sweden.
Transgender Ukrainians abroad need to get in touch with the local LGBTQA organizations, which – in many countries – have put in place extra measures aimed at helping queer refugees.
CNN has more.

Finnish news site Yle Uutiset will be publishing news in Ukraininan starting from Wednesday May 4th.
Link to the upcoming Ukrainian news' here. (Site available starting from May 4th)
Please note that the news published in Ukrainian will only be available on the website and not on the news app.
Here's also a link to Yle's Russian news.
From the article on the topic of publishing news in Ukrainian (citation translated from Finnish):
"News shall be published in Ukrainian every weekday. The news focus on the main national news as well as news that is believed to be of interest to Ukrainian refugees.
In the initial phase, the news service will also aim to provide useful information to refugees on practical issues relevant to them.
Yle has previously published news in several different languages. During the Covid pandemic, news was delivered in Somali, Arabic, Kurdish, and Persian.
- At that time, it was important to provide reliable and up-to-date information on the coronavirus situation, regardless of whether or not the target groups knew Finnish. Now it is important to provide Ukrainian refugees with up-to-date information on the most important news topics in their own mother tongue, says Marko Krapu, the corresponding producer of Yle's special news."

Interesting. Poland and Portugal are more anti-Russian than Ukraine.
