Life is too short not to cry, not to take the selfie, not to try and serve. Sometimes, it doesn’t make me want to give up. It makes me sit down and wish the war were over—so my biggest concern could be what comes next.

Long T. Standing @longtstanding.bsky.social · 21/02/2025
I went to the front and spent 8 months there in a war I could have left alone. I fight, and it’s for my family, my friends, and my brothers. I carry the tears of so many with me, and I know the stress I cause others with my choices. I know you worry, and I accept that worry with care and press on.

Long T. Standing @longtstanding.bsky.social · 21/02/2025
I’m not too sad to fight. I’m not too sad to stand. But I am sad. I am tired of the obliteration of my friends. I am not stopping or pulling away as I dry my tears. I remind myself that I came here alone and now have a family of brothers.

Speaking is harder for me than reading and writing; it’s a different part of the brain, but I push, and I grow the neurons. Sometimes, it makes me cry. There is so much I can only watch. So much I cannot control. So much that has changed me, and I pull away.

Long T. Standing @longtstanding.bsky.social · 21/02/2025
Though I’m sure emotionally disturbed people will say things to disrupt my path, no one is greater than Ukraine. In the end, nothing else matters but Ukraine. Sometimes, the tears come from frustration—from failing, from reading and writing, and struggling to speak a foreign language.

For the never forgotten and never returned. I cry because my soul hurts. I suppose that is the cry of war too—not just the scream against an enemy, but the scream against the result. I am not ashamed of it.

I am living my dream, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a nightmare sometimes. Perhaps I need to dream bigger, try harder, believe more, and reach deeper into myself to ensure I’ve given all I’ve got. These are not wasted tears on fear—they are for memory.

Long T. Standing @longtstanding.bsky.social · 21/02/2025
I am not invincible, and deep down, I accept that. Just like I accept that I am not a billionaire, not a country singer, and not a famous author who writes what the soul needs. I am living my purpose, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t hard.

I cry that we chose money for a few instead of the health and well-being of all. Tears aren’t pretty, but they are real. I cry because of the injustice I’ve had to let go of. The hate I get for just being honest. I am not strong all the time.

Long T. Standing @longtstanding.bsky.social · 21/02/2025
I cry because there is so much I cannot do. So much I cannot say to make the pain fade into the haunting sunsets of Ukraine. Sometimes, I cry. I cry at the loss of the America I was taught to believe in, at the loss of my freedom as an American.

I would end the fundraising online and only ask for a receipt in return. So I trick my mind and heart into thinking of these things instead of the loss—the loss of my friends in battle, the loss of friends from Twitter. Some I’d never want back in my life, but I still wish it had ended better.

I can't control the loss of others—nor the choices they make to lose me, nor the bullets that take them. I wish I were a billionaire—I'd fund battalions, build libraries, and buy a piece of cliffside to carve my own version of the Library of Alexandria.

The heart beats at its own pace, and sometimes, it pours from the chest, through the mind, and out the windows to the soul. So yes, sometimes I cry—not because I want to, but because I have to.

Much like a broken heart, it can heal, but it will never be the same. So it is with war. I try to fight the tears. I remind myself there will be time after the war to cry about everything.

An Sometimes I Cry A 🧵 by Long T. Standing In the last 10 months, I’ve lost a lot—friends both online and on the frontlines, people I thought would be with me for a lifetime. There’s no bringing back the dead, though dark magic may try.

That has been the standard mini-flag icon on Federal websites since at least 2021. It doesn't resemble the CF. The CF has 7-13 stars in a circle (not a grid) and 3 stripes (not 11). The icon is 11x16 pixels. You couldn't fit 50 stars. Each "star" is a single pixel. leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2...

You don't have to be very smart to understand that putin wants elections in Ukraine to interfere and try to pull in his puppet-candidate in the president chair. He did this before and will invest all the available resources to do it again. Anyone who pushes for it is a traitor. #ukrainianview

Wake the fuck up, you got had and if you do not fight, you won't have anything left of the land of free or home of brave. You all need to get your shit together because you got invaded and you are officially being taken over.

Current American foreign policy is about draining power from the US and its allies, thereby creating atmospherics in which Donald Trump feels good and Elon Musk converts lost state capacity into personal profit. The weakness, in other words, is the point. snyder.substack.com/p/affirmativ...

Nothing will come of the absurd attempt to blame Ukraine for not voluntarily jumping into the execution pit in 2022 and for bravely fighting for its survival.

And so, our great dealmaker took the easiest route and is now looking for someone to blame. Twisting Ukraine’s arm and demanding Zelensky’s removal at Putin’s whim is far easier and safer than actually standing up to the Kremlin as the leader of the global superpower.

Well, it looks like Putin immediately and harshly flipped the middle finger at Trump's attempt to quickly and easily achieve a ceasefire, bring the war to an end, and bask in self-admiration as a peacemaker and savior of nations.

I want to say that I wish this was true, I really do Cooper. However Trump will shortly began to overall national and collegiate education and history. And so this prediction is unlikely amongst anyone but those people currently thinking it. That is what dictators do, and you should be right.

Warriors & Ghosts A 🧵 by Long T. Standing When you come back from the front, not everyone returns the same. I have seen many warriors and many ghosts. Being in the Ukrainian military doesn’t automatically make you a hero, just as wearing a uniform doesn’t make you a good person.

🇺🇸 CNN poll shows just 8% of Americans view Russia positively—on par with those who think the moon landing was fake. 61% see Russia as an enemy, and only 4% as a partner. Only 9% like Putin, with the same percentage believing the Earth is flat. 52% support Ukraine using U.S. weapons in Russia.
