"The Government of Jamaica has taken the decision to recognise the State of Palestine."

"Jamaica continues to advocate for a two-state solution as the only viable option to resolve the longstanding conflict, guarantee the security of Is..."

It's a step enuh, but it's clear that our government has no intention to fully cut ties with the settler colony so they're trying to middle ground this. Dat nah guh werk 😤

Tarts | John "Soap" MacTavish x Male Reader | Fluff

Fem/Minors DNI

Warnings; Little bit of kissing but that's all

Request; "could you please write some soap x male reader fluff? like quite domestic and they're baking together and have a dog maybe?" @sammy863

A/N; MY FIRST REQUEST YEAAHH!! In all honesty, I tried writing this 4 times before giving up and having my friend help me, and thank god I asked because I was pulling my hair out. I wonder if you can tell what my favourite dog breed is? /s anyway, enjoy lads!

Mo grá means 'My love' in Irish btw

“Johnny,” Y/N whined, stopping his hands that were kneading shortbread dough and hanging his head back. “When will I be done? My arms are sore.”

John turned his head to look at him while continuing to mix the tart filling he was working on. “Stop complaining,” he scolded, turning his attention back to the fruity mix. “You can put it in the fridge”

Y/N moulded it into a ball and wrapped it in clingfilm tightly, leaving no room for air bubbles before taking it to the fridge and placing it inside, shutting it behind him.

“Until it gets firm, then you can roll it flat ‘n cut it,” John said. He paused his stirring when feeling Y/N creep up behind him and wrap one of his arms around his large build. “What are you up to?”

“Nothin’” Y/N said, bringing his other hand around and revealing a bottle of whiskey, attempting to pour it into John’s handiwork, the latter grabbing his hand and squeezing.

“Awa you and chew mah banger,” The brunette hissed, squeezing Y/N’s hand. He placed the bottle on the counter but didn’t let go of it, keeping a tight grip on it. He leaned in and kissed John’s neck, proceeding to rest his chin on his shoulder.

“Aye, sorry mo gráh” Y/N replied, hand travelling down and resting on John’s hip. “I was just trying to make it taste better. You know I would though.” He whispered the last part, kissing his lover's neck again. John scoffed and patted his head before dipping his finger in the filling and putting it in front of Y/N’s lips.

“Taste.” Y/N complied, taking his finger into his mouth and licking the sweet jam off it.

“God, it’s sweet,” He grunted, playfully scrunching up his face. “It’s good, I like it.”

John hummed and pushed the bowl away from him, wrapping the top with cling film before turning around to look at Y/N who smiled and kissed him on the nose.

“I think Alfie would like some,” Y/N mentioned, letting the whiskey go and taking the spoon from the bowl, stepping away from John.

“Don’t you dare,” He warned, reaching for Y/N’s hand. He had already alerted their anatolian shepherd by saying his name, the big dog trotting into the kitchen with his ears perked up. He wagged his tail at the sight of Y/N running past him with a spoonful of jam.

“Come on, laddy! Don’t get me caught!” Y/N laughed running through the small house with both Alfie and John on his heels. Y/N slid on the wood floors because of his socks, almost running into a wall.

“Don’t you give him that, Y/N! I’ll kick your arse!” He yelled as he chased the two, almost barreling straight through their bedroom door when Y/N closed it in his face and locked it behind him, pressing his back to it to keep it closed while he laughed. He let the large dog lick the spoon clean while John made empty threats and scolded him while pounding on the door. “You’ll have to come out eventually.”

“Aye, I will!” He said, taking shaky breaths between his laughter. “But you won’t stick to any a those threats, will ya now?”

In response, John unlocked the door and shouldered it open, Y/N stumbling forward and tripping over Alfie, landing face first into the floor. Alfie picked up the spoon in his jaws and bolted past John, disappearing into the living room to lick it clean. Y/N was cackling as John grabbed his left ankle and began dragging him back into the hallway, his own laughter joining Y/N’s. Y/N grabbed onto the doorway with both his hands and effectively stopped John from yanking him any further through the home, struggling to break free from his tight grip.

John eventually let him go and Y/N rolled onto his back, a wide grin on his face as he looked up at John, sharing his fond gaze. He dropped to his knees, straddling Y/N’s legs and cupping his face, pulling him into a chaste kiss. Y/N was still giggling, wrapping his arms around John’s waist and rocking side to side as best he could. John lightly slapped his cheek and pulled away from him, Y/N’s wide, toothy smile making him laugh.

“You look like a gobshite,” He said. Y/N shrugged his shoulders and looked at him with adoration, leaning up to kiss him.

“I love you, Johnny,” Y/N whispered against John’s lips, leaning in to give him another kiss. He reciprocated it, tilting his head and smiling. Y/N let one of his hands travel down John’s back, sneakily resting on his ass and giving it a tight squeeze.

“No, we are not doing this in the hallway,” John said, pulling away from Y/N’s face and putting his hand over his mouth. The H/C furrowed his eyebrows and pouted, but John gave him a stern look that screamed ‘There will be no negotiation.’

Y/N licked John’s hand, the latter groaning and sitting up, wiping his hand on Y/N’s shirt with a face of disgust.

“Are you willing to reconsider?” He queried, tilting his head and looking at his lover with a smug face. He shook his head with a grin and attempted to stand, only to be pulled into Y/N’s arms again, wrapping them around his waist tighter and flipping them over and kissing John again.

His hands rested on John’s hips and he leaned down to kiss him on the cheek, pulling away and looking down at John.

“I love you, Johnny,” Y/N said as he kissed John again, the latter wrapping his arms around Y/N’s neck loosely. He deepened the kiss by parting his lips and running his tongue on Y/N’s own, him opening his mouth and welcoming John’s wet tongue into his mouth, sighing at the feeling of being so close to him. Y/N would never get sick of this feeling, his chest tightening and mind buzzing with excitement and affection for John, all for him, and only for him.

Alfie walked over and stared at his parents with what could only be described as disgust. The only option he had to stop this nonsense of his humans trying to eat each other's faces was obvious to him: jump on Y/N’s back and dig all four of his large paws into his skin to end this incident. So that is exactly what he did.

Y/N grunted as Alfie pushed him off of John rather aggressively, resting on his side as he barked at them both and took up a playful stance before stepping on John and laying all his body weight on him, glaring at Y/N with his big brown puppy eyes.

Scoffing, Y/N sat up and stared at the two, a betrayal written all over his face. “I can’t believe this!” He exclaimed, watching John as he laughed and wrapped his arms around the big dog. “You’ve chosen this boyo over me!”

“I haven’t, honest!” John laughed, ruffling Alfie’s thick fur as he looked at Y/N. “I’d never pick a mutt over you.”

“Tell that to the boyo that’s shoved me off ya and taken my place!”

“He’s just clingy.” Y/N made an ‘uh huh’ noise before standing up and leaving the two to cuddle. “Are you sulking now?”

“No,” Y/N lied, walking to the kitchen and watching them from behind the counter, his bottom lip and cheeks puffed out. John shook his head and pushed Alfie off of him, getting onto his feet and walking to Y/N, kissing him in the cheek.

“You’re not a very good liar,” John whispered. Y/N turned and wrapped his arms around John again, kissing his forehead and proceeding to bury his face in the crook of his neck, inhaling his scent. “Will you help me finish the tarts?”

“‘Course I will, mo grá.”

2024 will be a good year for me, mentally, emotionally, physically and financially 🙌🏾✨

[chirpyblues]

they say i will be twenty soon but i can't recall myself being alive for twenty whole years. i have survived them, though. the wounds are golden scars on my heart letting the light in.

time is being so funny right now and i cannot, for the love of God, find the will to fake laugh at it. they say it will get funnier and i can't even imagine feeling even more like everything is flying by as if it's sand falling away through the gaps between my fingers.

my memory is very very hazy. so generally, i don't remember much. but randomly, i remember some random thing from these twenty years and thus begins another random nostalgic dive into the ocean of "where'd the time go?"

they say i will be twenty soon. it's too old. it's too young. my childhood is gone, according to them. my inner child is now learning to breathe, according to me. my life stands ahead of me and yet the past has already denied so many ways to walk upon. and decided so many, too.

this is not a crisis or calamity. this is not a beginning or an end. this is just another milestone in time, one that feels significant because twenty is supposed to be a sign that you now know enough of this world.

you know to lower your expectations so that you aren't disappointed at every turn. you know to accept most things by chanting "it is what it is" in your head. you know now that pain is the ultimate end of everything in some or the other way so it's better to become better at tolerating it than avoiding it. you know that life has its ups and downs but the downs are supposed to make you value the ups more. you know to count your blessings, to keep your memories closely tucked to yourself because they are the only real home you have. you know to value your people more than anything and yes that includes yourself too.

twenty is a very young age but it is old enough to know these things and many more. i will now embrace a whole new decade while holding hands with all of my previous nineteen selves. the best gifts that getting twenty years old can give you is the clearest sense of reality that you have had in life yet, a perspective that is both super young yet not so easily malleable and the rightest amount of hope. and so, i'm happily here and grateful that i made sure to hold on when the storms were angry.

I think I am falling apart at the seams, like a old arts and crafts project with too many cut corners, all the skips are now catching up to me, I dream of a better future to ignore my current reality

How to take care of yourself

Hiii! <3 How are you? I hope you're having a great day/night, anyway, maybe you need this because you're not feeling ok right now, so I'm going to tell you some tips to feel better.

Taking care of yourself is essential to maintaining good physical, mental and emotional health. Here are some practices you can adopt to take care of yourself:

Healthy eating: Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and healthy fats. Limit the consumption of processed foods, added sugars and saturated fats.

Regular exercise: Do regular physical activity to keep your body in shape and release endorphins that will help you feel good. Find activities that you enjoy, whether it's walking, running, swimming, yoga, or any other exercise that motivates you.

Adequate rest: Make sure you get enough sleep every night to allow your body to recover and regenerate. Establish a regular sleep routine and create an environment conducive to rest in your bedroom.

Stress management: Find techniques that help you manage stress, such as meditation, deep breathing, yoga, or practicing relaxing activities like reading, drawing, or listening to music.

Healthy Relationships: Cultivate positive, supportive relationships with friends, family, and loved ones. Maintain open and honest communication, and seek help when you need it.

Time for yourself: Dedicate time to activities that you like and that make you feel good, whether it is practicing your hobbies, going out into nature, or simply relaxing and resting.

Regular medical consultation: Schedule regular medical check-ups to detect any health problems in early stages and receive appropriate treatment.

Remember that self-care is an important part of maintaining a healthy balance in life. Don't be afraid to prioritize yourself and take steps to care for your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Also remember to breathe deeply and smile ^^ <333

I thought I wanted to be super rich for a long time but I think I just want to be happy and unafraid.

Wherever that may be, God, I just want to be unafraid.
