Apparently, thousands of Romanians have been waiting in their personal vehicles to pick up #refugees at one of the NE borders with #Ukraine.
I'm not often elated at news from back home, but this makes my heart swell. #StandWithUkriane#standwithrefugees
Ukrainians are dying and Russian anti-war protesters are being arrested so don't complain that the price of bread went up 15 cents or gas is up 20 cents a gallon. It makes us look pathetic.
Ukrainian is a gorgeous language, much more lyrical than Russian. This isn’t a diss to Russian, that’s my first language and a ton of my favorite books are in Russian. This is shining a light on Ukrainian - it’s musical, singsong-ey, poetic, impossible to translate into English
This is asked a lot - Ukrainian is its own language, different from Russian. They share only about 60% of the vocab, but the sentence structure and alphabet is largely the same. But wait: most Ukrainians speak or understand Russian bc of <gestures at history>, but not vice versa
This is what I picture in my head whenever radio stations say they have “the best mix of 80s, 90s, and today”. It’s been today for 21 years. You can’t keep getting away with this.
