Are you FULL OF RAGE???

after even MORE struggles - chapter 4 is here. still no oswald. still no oswald. BUT - vicki and louise and bruce make an appearance.

Please PLEASE read about it and spread it around. On yesterday's first pride in my home city (Białystok, Poland) the marchers (me and my close friend included) were attacked by the group of extremist far-right. They have thrown stones, eggs, flares, bangers and, of course, lots and lots of slurs at the marchers. I was spat on and I still consider myself lucky, people ended in hospitals after getting beaten after the pride. It was a scary place.

I really hope it won't be overlooked.

We won't "get they fuck out".

No number of "hunting for fags" will stop us from being, living and loving. (yes. this happened yesterday. right after the march fascist chanted that they will "hunt for fags" and so they did, there's a video of 3 grown ass men beating and kicking a guy not older than 15, one kicked him in the face)

Oh and, and some facts

- The numbers. There was about 1 thousand people at the pride and 4 thousand opposing. Football hooligans (VERY aggressive group in Poland) from the whole country came to Białystok just for this

- There were about 74 events planned just to stop the march. Only 1-3 of them were accepted by the local government (? I read in the comments that non were accepted as " opposing " but for sure a marching prayer and "family picnic" happened near the pride)

- The church in Bialystok thanked the protesters from "defending family values" but later explained that is was written before the actual pride (the episcopal conference condemned the attacks)

- The minister of education (Dariusz Piontkowski) said its all the fault of the fact that prides are taking place (this man said that lgbt wants to sexualize children)

-A few days before Gazeta Polska added "space free from LGBT" stickers to one of their issues

Shiro-4 literally uses the term “bughugger” in game to describe people who were banging the Fallen…and/or sympathizing with them…

IT IS CANON.

Tiny dirty stray kitten hanging out at the bottom of our stairs since yesterday. There are a lot of self-reliant ferals around our apartment, but this little thing was dirty & covered in burrs. We gave it some chicken but couldn’t catch it. I think it may have wandered over from the outdoor cat hoarder colony down the street; that house is awful & we saw kittens there last week.

This morning the downstairs neighbor managed to grab it for us, and I put it on this cozy towel & started combing and picking the burrs & sticks out of its fur. It calmed down immediately and has been chilling here with me in the kitchen ever since. Got a vet appointment in an hour to get my little buddy cleaned up & checked out. I hope it isn’t too sick; I think it might have a cold.

now, if you work in retail, you know this sort of customer. those assholes who walk in right before you close and take their time shopping and act like they dont notice the announcements that “the store is now closed. please bring your final selection up to the front for checkout.” or that every employee is so fucking done for the night and want to get home. or that they are the only customer in the store. and when they have a shopping cart, you know they’re gonna be a while.

so a solid half hour after we are officially closed this woman comes to my register, because i am the only one open. because it’s ten fucking thirty pm and everyone else is ready to leave and ive been stuck here for eleven hours because someone called out and i was already there and a fucking idiot. 

and this woman, she’s a Suburban Mom ™ type and, like all the fucking moms who come into this store, she doesnt have a coupon because she expects us to just give it to her. and we will, if they ask. except i, after a solid hour of no customers and foolishly thinking nobody would come, had gotten rid of my coupons a few minutes before she walked in. so when she asks if i had a coupon i say no, i’m sorry, i don’t have one at the register. 

and this woman, she leans in and tells me “you know, i’m a professional psychic.” and i think “oh christ here we go”

and long island medium here, immune to the glares of the other employees who want her to just fucking pay and leave, goes on and on about this boy who loves me. we are soul mates, she says. destined to be. but there is a power keeping us apart. she mentions this “power” keeping me from mr. right several times. 

i, exhausted and frustrated and wanting to go home, reply “is it the power of me being a lesbian?”
