Ukraine | Artem Chapeye

#ranttime

I have been cussed. I have been told to name a loved one whom I am willing to sacrifice if war escalates. I have been informed that Zelensky was a snake, conniving and very underhanded, and thank goodness, Trump was 10 steps ahead to ward off the evil Zelensky.

I am tired. I gave them a history lesson. I probably didn't change their minds. I then ended with heated sarcasm, we should go ahead and give away Alaska.

Butterfinger It has also been implied that I am a traitor because I am proUkraine and not prowestern North Carolina. Apparently, all funds/aid should go to Hurricane Helene victims, not Los Angeles fires or war ravaged countries. I used to be proud to be an American. 1w
Deblovestoread It is so exhausting! Remember to look for light and joy to refill your cup. 1w
ncsufoxes My husband talked to his mom tonight (he grew up in NC, she still lives there) & he was so fed up. She gets all her info off you know what channel. She changes her views or story to fit the narrative she wants to see. My husband had to go over vaccines again with her tonight because she listens to all the misinformation (he has his PhD in Genetics & Molecular Biology). The parts I heard from her were shocking but not shocking. When she said the 1w

ncsufoxes Velvetta Voldemort loved women I lost it. My husband laughed at her & told her to look up the SAVES Act. She likes to say that, “well it doesn‘t affect me.” My husband tells her but it affects your grandkids & him as an oncology research scientist. It shouldn‘t have to affect you to not be concerned how much other people are hurting. The disillusionment is astounding. 1w
Susanita It‘s the upside down world. Books, podcasts, and friends are the only things keeping me sane. 1w
Jari-chan No words for this. Sending hugs and strength ❤️🫂 1w
DogMomIrene I‘m sorry you‘re being verbally abused. This sounds awful. I get that you‘re trying to educate, but try to protect yourself too. You deserve better than being cussed at. Sending hugs! 1w
Librarybelle So sorry. Thinking of you! 1w
Tamra 😣 I feel like there are many who are a lost cause. 1w
bellabella So you support Ukraine? Because I'm afraid I misread your former blurb. I am very sorry you were cursed and asked which family member you would sacrifice. That was awful on the part of those who hurt you, and they really should take a step back.
However, I am very patriotic of our beautiful country and support some of Trump's works. I will not blame you if you un-follow me.
Thank you for understanding.

Butterfinger @bellabella I am mature enough to know that we can disagree. I hope you are not implying I am not patriotic because I also love this country. The tag #ranttime is for those of us who empathize with everyone who needs help. We feel that because of our love of books, we don't have to explain. So there is no more confusion for you, please block the tag. 1w
Suet624 I heard the exact same lines that you did. Must be a script they use. A best friend of mine and I got into an argument this morning about what was going on. She kept saying at the end of each of her arguments that she didn‘t really care one way or the other because God was going to make sure she was OK. I kept losing it every time she said that. 1w
bellabella @Butterfinger thank you for your answer. My respect for you just went through the roof.
I will continue to follow you because of this and I did not mean to imply that you are not patriotic. For that miscommunication, I am very sorry and offer my most sincere apologies. 💕

MemoirsForMe So sorry you‘re going thru this. These are dark times. Sending hugs your way. 1w

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky became a hero the day his country was invaded. He has shown that he has the endurance to be the warrior his people need. May Ukraine win the victory of true peace that they are fighting for 🙏🏼🇺🇦💝💝💝.

AnnCrystal It took a hot minute for me to calm down and not write an angry 🤬 post about the bullying that took place at the White House which only seemed to confirm that little t is a puppet to a very scary puppet master. And the V.P. 🤨...unbelievable!

Ok, maybe I needed another hot minute!

AnnCrystal And the nerve to criticize a man's attire when he comes straight from a battlefield! Like he has the time or can waste the funds! And I thought Zelensky was dressed nice...just saying. (edited) 2w

Hurt and hatred are stubborn guests, but time softens even the sharpest blades and we're left with the lightness of letting go.

Jonathan Safran Foer's “Everything Is Illuminated“ is beautifully layered, rich in humour, emotion and heartbreak. A stunning exploration of memory, history and identity. One of my favourite books!

Not my favourite Kate Quinn but no one does historical fiction as well as she does. Mila was understandably prickly and her backstory was captivating but ultimately, the amount of violence was a bit above my threshold.

A 2024 read

CoverToCoverGirl My least favorite by her too. 1mo
annahenke I loved this one! I‘m such a Kate Quinn super fan! 1mo

I honestly can't believe we're living through another DJT presidency. It's going to be a tough four years. #2 #2025
