@pamericachavez So glad I stumbled onto this, bc I just read this fic last night. I forgot to read the tags and went into it assuming a HEA. The unresolved ending after all the trauma was brutal. Boy was I sad at 1am. Stared into the distance for awhile before I could sleep.
@quietsolivagant I’m so sorry this happened to you and SO GLAD it was a mistake. You’re an amazing writer and this fic is so good! I hope you’re feeling the love and see how much your writing means to people! ❤️
It is possible to believe two things at once: That the long-suffering people of Iran deserve freedom from their despotic leaders, and that a bombing campaign by the current highly corrupt authoritarian government of America is unlikely to bring it.
I know this isn’t the main story or key point today but remember that billions of dollars are being effortlessly expended today bombing a country, which Americans don’t support and no US lawmaker voted for. Remember that next time they tell you there is no money for healthcare.
Imagine this: Dems block funding for ICE, head to Minneapolis, put themselves on the line, drive endless coverage of masked goons beating up members of Congress. We would win that shutdown, 100%. All we need are Dems with a backbone. Too bad that’s such an unrealistic daydream.
Let's not forget, millions of Americans voted for Trump. They are our fellow citizens. So regardless of where we stand politically, it is imperative to reach out and tell each and every one of them that they are stupid fucking assholes.
"I'm an anti-Zionist, because I'm the daughter of holocaust survivors. The Shoah is baked into my DNA, and that's why I call for Palestinian liberation. It's not anti-semitic to be anti-Zionist. It's not anti-semitic to call what's happening in Gaza genocide."

Dear ladies never forget that: The same world that shames me for being a single mother also shames you for not being a mother and shames another woman for having too many children..lt shames one woman for having a child at the age of 19 because she's too young but also shames another for having at 36 because she's too old..lt shames a woman who marries young as well as the one who marries old..It shames women who don't have beautiful bodies and shames those who go under the knife to get the bodies. This world shames all women, not a single one of us is spared, not a single one. So love and make yourselves happy.
