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”
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.
I do not appreciate plague AND global warfare.
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.

I do not appreciate plague AND global warfare.
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?

What on earth is a shamrock macchiato?

Dana's avocado toast sounds yummy. I had avocado, but as part of a bullet drink, which while tasty, was not toast.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
What on earth is a shamrock macchiato?
Is it like a shamrock shake from McDonalds? Because, if so, I must try one!
