Quite apart from events on the world stage, every day this week has contained some additional stressor, of which the latest example was ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spatch needing to spend the day at the ER for what turned out to be diverticulitis. He is home now with antibiotics and enjoying some well-deserved soup. My ability to do very much this week beyond work has been somewhat frustrated. Someday, statistically, someone I care for or even just know socially will catch a break and it will be awesome.
In terms of ongoing resources for Ukaine, Razom seems to have the bases covered. I found myself saying elsenet that I don't think I'm old enough to blame it on the failure of historical memory, but I keep catching takes from people who seem to have forgotten that the Yugoslav Wars—Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo—even happened and it is very strange. I understand the significance of the eight-decade mark since one stable sovereign nation in Europe invaded another. But it's not as though we haven't seen sieges and airstrikes in places that didn't look sufficiently (there are not enough scare quotes in the world) foreign as to feel safely distant since then.

Trust me, I appreciate it!

I don't know if it was assigned reading in my school system! I read her whenever she was published in this country. The comparison to Anne Frank was stupid even at the time, but I had seen the news on television and I had read the newspapers and I wanted to know.
