Yeah this all sucks.
Texas starts state mandated persecution of trans kids.
Russia invaded Ukraine.
I would like so many leaders to drop dead right now.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

I got my wish with Scalia and then there were three more Scalias on the SCOTUS.
I'm mindful of my Monkey Paw wishes now.
Russia has launched missile attacks on Kyiv's airports, trying to suppress their air force.

Ugh I am so pissed at Texas. They’re just all about creating Snitch Culture aren’t they?
And v curious—for work we are starting up a new thing and getting some doctors offices in Eastern Europe…and Ukraine. A day or two ago I asked the liaison if we should rethink Ukraine and she was like “no I’m Kyiv we are fine it’s just two breakaway provinces it shouldn’t be an issue” and now I’m v curious what she’ll say at our first meeting in a couple days…if we have it?? I mean it wouldn’t be for a few months but…seems iffy.
I do not appreciate plague AND global warfare.

Well, it's a full invasion now, so she's very mistaken.

Ugh. This is like 9/11.
It's fucking happening now.

Sorry, East Coast friends. You will wake up to a full on aggressive military invasion of the Ukraine by Russia.
Everything political is fantastically destabilized by this.
I'm thinking a lot about Littlefinger's stratagem which was to sow chaos and move up the ladder.

Our wings are not tired.

Yeah, this. I'm pretty grateful I slept in until 7, which late for me! I did take a reading break aroung 3:30, as often happens, but only about 45 minutes.
The world has gone mad.

Yeah, and if the war goes on into the growing season, in one of the largest wheat producers on the continent, we may be looking at some famine, too. It's the full complement of Horsemen. (Death's coming as a free gift with purchase.)
I'm glad that COVID and housing issues are going well, anyway.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I had some tasty avocado toast with bacon salt, and I'm pretty sure that's the only thing going on in the world today.
I'm also watching Netflix's Punisher series, and man, this guy rivals Bruce Wayne for reminders that his family is dead.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Feeling like we are on the brink of world war via conflict with Russia is not the kind of nostalgia for my childhood I like.
Dana's toast sounds excellent, though. I ran out to DD's for breakfast and am trying a Shamrock Macchiato because I felt like I had to. I think I like it?
