Friendship break-ups hurt too

No matter how many times I learn this lesson, friendship break-ups hurt just as much as romantic ones if not more-so depending on the situation.

It hurts and the grief of it is very real.

I want to believe people can talk through conflict, can learn to forgive, to hold oneself accountable for their actions, to do better, and heavens know I try hard myself.

But we are all human beings, and we will fuck things up. This is an inevitable aspect of being a human being.

No one is perfect. No one will be able to ever say things perfectly, act perfectly how another wants it, or do anything perfectly. That is an impossible standard.

I don't believe in the one strike and you're done rule, but I'm also a fool who tends to give people infinite opportunities until my heart is shredded and bleeding.

And yet I still hope that healing is possible.

Friendship break-ups are real. The grief of that is painful. If any of you are experiencing it, know that you are seen.

You are heard. Your pain and grief is very real. It's okay to cry, to find a safe and secure place to discuss it, and it's okay to take time to recover and heal.

Grief has it's own timetable. It cannot be rushed.

Just know you're not alone in feeling it.

You are worthy of care, of being heard, of being respected, of being loved.

Take your time, and I will do my best to remember this as well.

She's never seen anything like this in her LIFE? Um. Has she not read any history? Did she not witness Black Lives Matter? Did she not witness Occupy? Pipeline protests by Indigenous tribes? Did she not witness strikes by unions? The entire Civil Rights Movement and that history? The history of LGBTQIA folks? Disability rights protests? Anti-war protests? The fight for the rights of immigrants? Similar tactics used in all of those movements (not always as well done as what is shown here with UCLA but still). Honestly, props to UCLA for excellent organization and discipline. That's how you do it.

April 28, 2024 - An unintentionally funny video by a zionist propagandist shows off some good organisation and discipline at the UCLA encampment for Palestine.

It is actually way better for 100 addicts to get their fix on pain pills than a single person in pain go without. I call this the "Torture is bad" principle. You should be able to get the good stuff forever after a single doctor's visit. If you're worried about addicts fund rehab centers and needle exchanges instead of torturing people.

*SIGHS*

Another AO3 app that's pretending to be official when it's not (or at least isn't making it clear its unofficial.) They're using AO3's name and logo, and embedding ads.

There is no official AO3 app

Someone else is gathering your data, potentially your log in information etc and making use of it how they please. (They say they're not but their privacy policy says otherwise)

They are making money from the ads without the fic writer's consent.

They've also rated it Pegi 3 (which is ludicrous)

Please, even if you care about nothing else, for the safety of your data, please don't use this app. Certainly don't give it your AO3 log in details.

I've told AO3 that it's infringing on its copyright. I will be requesting they remove access of my work as I do not consent to my creative content being used to generate ad revenue for them.

I will be reporting it as incorrectly rated.

The only email address I can find is Narusta@gmail.com which is included in their privacy policy, and boboxway13@gmail.com as their developer.

Honestly, this bothered me so much. It made me wonder if Lena took the watch in that Season 5 scene, and felt even more broken-hearted than before. Did she see this as yet another piece of evidence of Kara's deceit? Of Kara not trusting her despite Lena practically giving Kara her heart? Yet for Kara, it was an action to prove to Lena she did trust her. That she'd always trusted her, but now she could be her full self with Lena without fear. At least that's how I interpreted Kara's smile and earnest expression as she hands it over.

Did Kara realize what the gift might imply beyond her own intentions? Why didn't she give the watch to Lena sooner? What stopped her? Did she just never think of it?

Very different perceptions of a single item. Yet that single item held an entire story between them, one threaded with hope, despair, trust, and pain.

thinking about how lena’s life was regularly at risk and how she was consistently in the more danger than the other super friends, and yet she was the last to receive a signal watch

It's fun to draw women with swords. I drew this by hand and scanned it into my computer by the way.

"This "book" is offered as a website for three reasons.

To make it free and accessible.

To hold on to the ability to make changes and revisions and additions as our collective wisdom about white supremacy culture grows.

To be able to link to all the amazing resources that are now available to help us all think about the culture we're navigating and our collective and collaborative vision for the future we all want, need, and deserve."

"Throughout this website, when I use the term white supremacy, I am referring to the ways in which these ruling class elite or the power elite in the colonies of what was to become the United States used the pseudo-scientific concept of race to create whiteness and a hierarchy of racialized value in order to

disconnect and divide white people from Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC);

disconnect and divide Black, Indigenous, and People of Color from each other;

disconnect and divide white people from other white people;

disconnect and divide each and all of us from the earth, the sun, the wind, the water, the stars, the animals that roam(ed) the earth;

disconnect and divide each of us from ourselves and from source (see below)."
