Do you use:

Grey?

Or

Gray?

I use Grey even though it's not the preferred USA way to spell the word.

Yeah, I'm a rebel. ☺️🤣☺️

What does your nation's flag mean to you?

The older I get the less it means - I have the Ukrainian Flag in my username area here in support of their fight against Russia and there's really no other emoji symbol right now to showcase that.

The US Flag now holds very little meaning to me. As I get older, I feel less and less national pride, and I'm trying to think more about being a good local citizen and global citizen rather than aligning with "my country" or I guess in a way other specific countries (aside from ancestry and DNA and all that I'd say)

Does your flag hold specific meaning to you, or do you think of yourself more of a global citizen these days?

Curious to know.

Thanks in advance.

Hey you know what?

I love you guys! *gestures at all of you*

And no, it's not the glass and a half of red wine talking. 💕

Good Day Fediverse!

Happy Saturday to you all.

Be well. Stay safe. Do fun stuff!

@WarnerCrocker there are probably more strategic places to fight is all I'm sayin

@WarnerCrocker I don't think there's a snowball's chance in hell to win in either of those districts. One is one of the most heavily populated R districts in the state (Gaetz's old seat)

@WarnerCrocker Does the Atlantic allow you to share gift articles? Can't read this one.

So now 47 wants control of Ukrainian power plants - WTF?
🤬🤬🤬🤬

Is 47's approval rating taking as hard and fast as the stock market he loves so much? Asshole.

@kimlockhartga He's kind of a disappointment.

Sheboygan

Such a fun place name to throw around

Say it with me

Sheboygan!

I bet you feel a little better.

What Thai take-out dish would go best with a pint of Guinness? Go

The rest of the western world will have to step up and help defend Ukrainian sovereignty - because the current US administration just left them to die on the battlefield.

I wish it wasn't so, but the rest of the world aligned with Ukraine will have to rise up and carry the heavy load to help the Ukrainian people win this war.

Those of us in the US who care - we will do our part to support those who support Ukraine.

Despite what our government does, we, the people can rise up to help. We must!

Translation from this Ukrainian artist:

To their enemies: "you are unwelcome here"

Slava Ukraini!

Making a riff on my butternut squash and granny smith apple soup tonight. Roasting the squash first! I'm excited.

Yeah, I know - kinda goofy, but hey, little things, right?

So Mitch was not fine with Tulsi and RFK Jr. but completely fine with Patel - WTF?

If you remember the band Alphaville, well, then you are Forever Young. ;)
