Ukraine

While there’s nothing at all funny about the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine or the atrocities being committed by Vladimir Putin, the following things made me smile and I’m going to share them. No snide political comments necessary.

I wouldn’t doubt this one bit.

I’ll drink to that. Cheers!

And while I know these little symbols of support do nothing to help the poor people of Ukraine, it is nice to see the world united for a change.

Even the famous Boston ducks are on board.

And yes, I bitch about gas prices like the rest of us.

But when you put it in perspective, if it would help the Ukrainians… instead of lining the pockets of greedy oil companies we already subsidize… I would gladly pay $10 a gallon.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Facebook agree on anything. But the crisis in Ukraine has my far right friends posting the same images as my far left friends… and they all break my heart.

I can’t even imagine what these poor people are going through.

And though I know it means less than nothing…

I posted that photo with hope in my heart that this terrible tragedy will be over soon.

I could never leave my pets behind. Ever. Hell, I refused to evacuate for a hurricane when the eye was headed straight for us in coastal Carolina. We had 5 cats, a cockatiel and a duck, no hotel on earth accepts that. (And yes, the duck spent the entire storm in the bathtub. Safe, sound and quite happy.)
