And this time, it's personal

None of the major parties are standing in the by-election for Nigel Farage's Clacton seat, a 'funny' I did not see coming - the Green Party is the only one worth a damn anyway

Well, I guess if he's got you this upset he must be on to something, right? Isn't that what they say? Regardless, I'm curious: would you be holding this same energy if Charlie were a woman? Even one you disagree with? Or is there a permissibility to (often brutal) violence against men that you simultaneously refuse to acknowledge while also cheekily playing into?

Just some food for though, "pal".

*looks inside*

As De Angelis stock of warehouse receipts increased, he began to replace the soybean oil in his tanks with water. Some tanks had special compartments, while others were hooked-up to a maze of pipes to shuttle oil from one tank to the next to fool inspectors.

They did an episode about this recently (called the 1963 Salad Oil Scandal) and it is... SO much wilder than you think

At one point the guy in the passage above had a warehouse that, on paper, stored more vegetable oil than had *ever been made*.

she can't be god's favourite even tho she's the only loyal Lyctor, because he has a daughter and that daughter is her crush's situationship, who she always looked down on because she thought Gideon was stupid, but now she gets all the good stuff for nothing?? she found her sister but apparently Corona became an enemy of the empire and she sided with the Sixth House of all people?? and then she gets outplayed by Palamedes Sextus, someone she always disdained and he proves to her that she's slowly becoming more and more like Babs. and then she watches Camilla and Palamedes perform the grand lysis and she realises that they weren't stupid for rejecting traditional lyctorhood and that she could've had something like this with Corona but now it's too late.

You are capable of harm

You have some level of power and agency

Ergo it is your responsibility to communicate your needs and boundaries

If you lie to someone about something being okay when it isn't, that is on you

Something being a trauma response doesn't exempt it from harming your relationships and the other people in them

Enabling your trauma responses will not make them go away, and it is your responsibility to work on yourself for your own wellbeing as well as the people around you

Being A Victim cannot be a pillar of your identity forever, and being victimized does not make you incapable of harming other people (see above)

You are not a mouse in a jean jacket you are an eel with a gun / adult human being who can use your words even if it's Scary
