Oh Dear. It's the Secretary of WAR????

#Russia #Ukraine (#Venezuela ?)
This item is in reference to the proposed peace plan for Ukraine that was or wasn't just stenography of Russian priorities, was or wasn't a clearly addled President being led around by the nose, was or wasn't the US final offer, was or wasn't some kind of level setting intended to rattle loose better offers. RantWoman will separately post vids of the day.

(Digression for language nerds: using Google translate to render sensitive diplomatic documents, even by some part of the press, ranks right up with threatening nuclear war via social media as anxiety evoking activities people generally can DO WITHOUT)


And now for the snark, on the other side of the video
Trump ABANDONS Hegseth As LEAK SCANDAL Goes PUBLIC!


Welp, ya know. Maybe it would be normal to have a Secretary of DEFENSE in high level Cabinet meetings about a PEACE plan, but if dud insists on being the Secretary of WAR, I can't imagine why anyone WOULDN'T keep him out of meetings about a peace plan.

Memorial with a side of fisheries management.

The trouble with going to one memorial is that sometimes one learns of others on the horizon, or even worse a memorial involving a violent crime.  RantWoman is of course morbidly curious about the violent crime circumstances. RantWoman has not even tried to pursue details , and an actual memorial is some ways off.


The deceased gets to be simply D and RantWoman has been exchanging condolences with Mrs D. Mr. and Mrs. D net in worship several years ago. The y quietly got married and faithfully worshipped together for a long time. 


D was a professional fisherman who worked in the Bering Sea. In RantWoman's world, this means both conversations about catch limits, what kind of seafood could even be harvested, as well as a few words of courtesy Russian. Along with critical care for the environment and the politics of catch limits, for RantWoman anything involving the Bering Sea and international fisheries issues also evokes images of danger lurking around every corner.


Anyway, RantWoman will remember and silently say a prayer for D every time the subjects of fishing and fisheries management in the North Pacific come up in conversation.

#MeToo doesn't even begin to name this.

RantWoman needs to have a good long rant separately about insurance and SEX OFFENDERS.


Here though, RantWoman is collecting videos about President #Gropesaurus. Most of the videos are so infuriating that readers are going to have to decide for their own selves whether to watch and THEN click on links.


Short version: Behaviorwise the President fully qualifies, at least to RantWoman as a level III sex offender.


RantWoman fully supports whatever paths to document release and public discussion will bring as much justice as possible to women who have survived the President and Mr. Epstein.


RantWoman is not commenting about straining at gnats and swallowing a camel with respect to culture war horror about drag queens and transwomen while all the evidence of Trump and epstein crimes keeps trying to break out into the open.


RantWoman will refrain for now from rants about global mafias, the status of women in Iran or Afghanistan. RantWoman will simply repeat a quote from Robin Morgan: "to be female and conscious anywhere on this planet is to be in a constant stage of rage."


It is not ALL rage which is probably one reason women keep forging on.

Russia? Venezuela? BIZARRE strategic decisions?

#Russia #Ukraine

RantWoman has a backlog of videos about internal resistance, Russian soldiers defecting to Ukraine, effects of secondary sanctions, drones, cruise missiles, blackouts in Moscow, ground stops at Russian airports and division among the oligarchs. Life is not good in Russia. 

RantWoman would not be displeased to see Russia forced to move away from fossil fuels. However, freezing in the winter dark is not something to wish on anyone and the do not appear to be good paths out of the bloodshed.

In any case, a digression (?) involving Venezuela


Russian politicians, like their US peers, are prone to saying outrageous things. But is this outrageous?

Clear Hearts Quaker Fellowship invitation to weekly worship on Zoom, 11:45 Pacific

 Clear Hearts Quaker Circle formed out of a need for a Quaker community that

has its foundations in *radical inclusion and anti-racism work*
<https://clearheartsquaker.org/welcoming-and-inclusion/>. We believe our
spiritual gifts are best nurtured and expressed within a framework of deep
belonging, reconciliation, justice, and hospitality.



Like FLGBTQC, we know that "radical inclusion and radical love bring
further light to Quaker testimony and life." Our unique experiences of God
or Spirit or the Light or Holy Darkness, or simply the wonders of the
universe, must be received with open hearts and minds.


Also like FLGBTQC, "we are still learning to spread love in the face of
rejection and hostility and to embrace new friends." We want everyone to be
able to be their full, authentic self– if someone does not feel welcome,
the problem is us, not them.



Members of the LGBTQIA+ community have too often had to guess as to whether
they will be welcome in a particular faith community (especially if they
exist in the plus sign after LGBTQIA). We  welcome to Friends of all sexual
orientations (including but not limited to lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer,
asexual, and straight orientations), gender identities (including but not
limited to transgender, nonbinary, and cisgender identities), and
relationship structures (including but not limited to polyamorous,
polyfidelitous or monogamous structures), and we celebrate the family
relationships that are established in our community.



We support relationships with enthusiastic consent between adults, and
mutual respect, care, and acceptance of responsibility for others’
well-being. We also acknowledge that society tends to privilege romantic
relationships over others, and we value and celebrate those who are
single/unpartnered or aromantic.



We recognize that racism has shaped our culture and has shaped Quaker
history and practice, that faith communities do not always consider
accessibility needs, and that American society does not always speak openly
or fairly about class, or the unique issues that arise from the experience
of navigating life with lower income or fewer educational opportunities.



We hope to work together as a community to not only honor the lived
experiences of those who have been harmed, but also to provide resources
and support to the people who need it most. We remember their joy, their
wisdom, their strength, and their gifts along with remembering their
oppression.


Clear Hearts currently holds all of our Meetings for Worship in our *Zoom
meeting space* <https://clearheartsquaker.org/sunday-zoom/>, so that we can
use our financial resources to do some other good in the world. We meet on
Sundays at 11:45 AM, Pacific time. Our worship is unprogrammed in the
Quaker tradition-- we gather in silence together in expectant waiting,
until someone is led to share a message. On some Sundays, the community
might feel most spiritually nourished by mindful, complete silence.


We would love to have you join us! If you have questions or concerns, or
would just like to chat, we can be reached by email at
*info@clearheartsquaker.org* <info@clearheartsquaker.org>.
