Roll for Bees

Local Rusałka said sapphic rights. Have a good summer this year 💮 💮

So, to all the workers facing Karens and Kens out in the wild, here’s my advice - cry.

If you have the type of relationships with your coworkers and managers that will support you, don’t try to hold it in. Cry like the overworked, underpaid peon you are.

Nothing terrifies an asshole Karen like the indisputable proof that their actions/words are affecting you as a real live person. They feel perfectly entitled to cuss out a cashier over a wrong order/no cash policy/ face mask mandate but when that person starts to cry and asks them why they’d say such mean things? A whole other story, my friend.

There’s no way to make that situation look good to the manager they demanded to speak with, either. My manager literally got a security guard fired for being so verbally abusive he made one of her employees cry.

This strategy has multiple benefits -

1. You’re not standing there trying to pen up your emotions, crying is a great physical release for negative emotions and you may very well feel somewhat better afterwards.

2. The person who precipitated the situation is forced to not only see you as a person with feelings, but also has to confront the fact that their abuse has consequences beyond themselves.

3. It can actually give your higher-ups leverage to address these situations. ‘They yelled at my employee’ is one thing, but ‘They yelled at my employee until they were in tears’ is a waaaaay worse offense. A good manager can use that. Hell, it can get a security guard fired!

And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”

And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”

Arabic love poems are on another level remembered a line written by forouq jwaydeh “and if the devil was to ever see you, he’d kiss your eyes and repent” like come on

“I would split open my heart with a knife, place you within and seal my wound, that you might dwell there and never inhabit another…” -Ibn Hazm

“My lips and fingers were pens on her flesh./ I memorized her in every alphabet and memorized my memories until they multiplied…” -Adonis

“They asked “do you love her to death?” I said “speak of her over my grave and watch how she brings me back to life.” -Mahmoud Darwish

“Through her, in a rush of musk and saffron, beauty falls into disarray.” -Ibn Al-Arabi

“I long for your hands, two doves that shade the blazing of my longing.” -Maisoon Saqr

“When I love/I become liquid light.” -Nizar Qabbani

“Awake with me all night she whispers, “You are my angel. Beneath your skin an angel hides. Let’s plunge into the deep again, my love, and leave to others the height and breadth of all the kingdoms of the air.” -Adonis

“Your eyes are like palm-groves refreshed by dawn’s breath Or terraces the moon leaves behind.” -Badr Shakir Al- Sayyab
