Gotta go hang the meat out the window.

Thank goodness I have a gas stove.

Please fill up these containers with water.

It’s not a rocket attack, it’s a drone attack.

Can we pull over during the siren?

Are you alive?

I’m alive.

Oy sequoia 😢 and here’s me thinking this thread would be about economics, politics, royal family…
Sending you love and hugs and strength, and prayers for this to be over soon.
There are several Ukrainian families who have come to Manchester over the past year. If we can help you at all from here, please let us know.

Well the BBC is calling us all racists.

Traumatized refugees torn from their familiar environment!

Shame on the BBC! Shame!

The BBC always were a bunch of bigots. They're polite and 'politically correct' bigots, which just makes it even more infuriating Twisted Evil .

I think of you often, esp when I read the news. Keep safe, Sequoia and stay strong Heart

Continued:

I think it’s colder on the balcony than in the fridge.

Oh look, another sms reminder not to touch land mines.

No, I can’t take any abandoned pets.

How is this racist? Ukrainians are traumatized refugees. And they’re not in a familiar environment. Really not seeing the issue here.

Yes, exactly. So if the schools in Birmingham have an unfamiliar population, it’s understandable that some kids were feeling freaked out. This is a child who has gone through a lot and is in a completely unfamiliar environment, and yes Ukraine is more homogenous. To fixate on it — to call *little children fleeing a war* racist because they’re scared — is disgusting.

I haven’t seen any coverage like that. What I have found:
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-en.....0.amp

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-en.....4.amp

Looks like people want to genuinely help.
