HAHA How is NAFO “funded”. Sir, we FUND, we are not FUNDED. We make it happen. We donate, we give more than we have, we share. And why? Because we believe sovereign nations should stay safe & free. Their citizens should not be kidnapped, raped, murdered. We, NAFO, will not stop!

Within the span of the last ten minutes my staff at the store just fielded an abusive call about our support of Ukraine from a pro-Russian supporter AND three bogus 1 star google reviews. It’s pretty obvious we’ve struck a chord with the Wagner flag and publication of the photos.

This is one of the very few photos of me pregnant with my son who is a fella…because he was not my first son. He would have had a big brother, named Henry.
Henry came into the world when he was 28 weeks old, but he was stillborn. A still birth. But still, a birth. After, 1/

I’ve been thinking about these two f*ckwits since Saturday. I hired a young man from Bucha to work at one of my stores & he arrived to the rally before I did. These idiots were the first thing he saw. I’m trying to imagine how it felt for him to see in public. 1/

That is what we call f*cking legend. Georgian woman who chased off vatniks at Friday’s vigil-stomping on painting of Poo-tin (literally as there was a convenient pile of dog poop right in front of this that got tracked onto it). Couldn’t have planned it better.

How could I approach this with patience and kindness? What would I do if I adopted the approach of “be kind but take no bullshit”. I decided I’d try to talk to the person working there. I found her close to where those books were, side by side, where they shouldn’t be. 2/
