🍂 Weekend at @berrveld.bsky.social's Garden Fair in 🇧🇪. The first smile we met is our friend Kit's at the 🇺🇦 stand.

Her smile says it all. The war isn’t only about borders. It’s about the right to exist, to live freely & proudly. And that’s something worth standing for.

Keep standing with Ukraine 💙💛

🔥 I slept soundly last night… “because rough men stand ready.”

In 2025, that’s Ukrainians under drone swarms and missile fire.

The free world owes them more than thoughts & prayers.

Raise funds with us & @69thsb.bsky.social for a 🛻 for the good, rough guys of Spartan, 2nd Bn.

In 🇺🇦, I’ve seen civic courage at work, not cosplay heroics.

The solider here didn’t join for the warrior ethos. She joined to protect a life worth returning to.

Developers, farmers, drivers, teachers... ask them what they dream of and no one says ‘war.’

💔 Can you imagine?

Driving through your city as air defence fires overhead.
Road lit by a drone exploding.
Ears ringing from missiles blasts.

This is daily life in Kyiv. In Ukraine. In Europe.
Don’t look away.

Let’s get that additional 🛻 to the defenders!

I can’t bring them back, but I can help protect others.
