@KatrinaLucia80 @jonjonthedundun Nail on head. The parents caused the rift because they played favourites with Tre and Joey always felt that. Melissa was the scapegoat originally. I believe Tre and Joey do genuinely love one another, and its a shame everythings come to a head like this.
@AliciaETaylor ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ Get er teld lass!!! Loved the slipknot merch modelling by the way, I got the grey jumper myself, its going with me to see Korn next week!
@AliciaETaylor Have you had a look at the balls they have at Bran Castle in Transylvania? They look so good! You would also love Goth week and Halloween in Whitby, its always such a brilliant vibe there!
@MAVERIC68078049 Its facelift tape. Its usually applied at the back of the neck and/or in the hairline at the temples. It connects from one side to the other with an elastic hidden in the hair and provides a temporary lift/tightening.
@McCannCaseTweet@bravodogmom@thecrimeanalyst You've misunderstood that scene. He didn't sleep with Martha, it was symbolic. He was saying that weirdly her fixation on him had helped him.
Hello X, an update.
After 2.5 months in hospital, I moved to a hospice around 3 weeks ago for end of life care. The hospice is wonderful and the staff are truly taking care of my every need. I have no pain and am very much at peace.

@mhdksafa Ceasefire!! A permanent one, and the whole world needs to rebuild Gaza. My government and others need to answer for allowing this genocide to happen.
@toyasdreamhouse Totally agree. When Paris spoke about the residential school and then didn't tell her mum about her first child it revealed how effed up their relationship is. Theres no way the actual hollywood 'elite' fawn over that broken family. They're creepy and weird AF!
The Most American Thing That Has Ever Happened
A man set himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in Washington today. He said he did it in protest of the genocide in Gaza.
Independent journalist Talia Jane reports that she was able to obtain footage of the incident, which the unnamed man apparently recorded himself. Jane reports that the man said he is โan active duty member of the U.S. Air Forceโ and that he โwill no longer be complicit in genocide.โ After igniting he repeatedly yelled โFree Palestine.โ
According to Jane, a police officer showed up pointing a gun at the manโs burning body; I guess thatโs just what American cops do when they arenโt sure what to do. Someone who was actually trying to save the man reportedly yelled โI donโt need guns, I need fire extinguishers!โ
This just might be the most American thing I have ever heard of. Itโs more American than the fake bald eagle cries they put in Hollywood movies. Itโs more American than monster trucks and mass shootings. You simply cannot fit more America into a single incident than a man dying a horrifying death in protest of war crimes while a first responder screams at cops to stop pointing their guns at him and go get fire extinguishers. If you were to pick a single moment in history to sum up the essence and expression of the US empire, that would be it.
The New York Times reports that the man โwas taken to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries and remains in critical condition.โ A spokesman for the US Air Force has reportedly confirmed that the man is an active duty member.
โIโm about to engage in an extreme act of protest,โ the man reportedly recorded himself saying before the incident. โBut compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, itโs not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.โ
The nameless protestor is correct. People in Gaza are being burned alive, are suffocating to death under collapsed buildings, are having operations and amputations without anesthesia, are starving to death, are watching their loved ones die in front of them, are experiencing suffering of a degree that very few of us here in the west can even imagine. And our ruling class is absolutely attempting to normalize this for us.
This isnโt even the first self-immolation weโve seen in protest of Israelโs US-backed atrocities after October 7; back in December an unnamed protester with a Palestinian flag self-immolated outside the Israeli consulate building in Atlanta.
And as I reflect on this I canโt help thinking, how many Israel supporters have self-immolated in protest of October 7? How many Israel supporters have self-immolated in protest of the super serious antisemitism crisis they claim is making Jews feel unsafe in their communities? Surely their claims are just as serious and sincere as those of Palestine supporters, no?
Of course not. This has not happened and the very idea is laughable. Israel apologists insist that it is they and their favorite ethnostate who are the real victims in all this, rather than the population of Gaza who has seen tens of thousands of Palestinians annihilated while Israeli soldiers openly celebrate their mass displacement and death. But you donโt see them self-immolating; you see them cheerleading for ethnic cleansing and genocide. They wouldnโt do anything to cause themselves pain or inconvenience to promote their pet agenda. They wouldnโt even miss brunch for it.
Itโs a horrific thing, burning alive. I suspect that pretty much everyone whoโs ever self-immolated has had serious regrets about it within the first few seconds. Thereโs simply nothing one can do to prepare oneself for the experience of that kind of pain, or for how long it can take them to lose consciousness after itโs started. At that point the only comfort they could possibly offer themselves is that it canโt go on forever.
But the fact that anyone would ever take such a measure at all shows how profoundly urgent they recognize this issue to be, and how much more sincere they are about it than those on the other side.
@queensofbravo I am deeply distrustful of the healthcare industry ( unfortunately for good reason), so to see AnneMarie act in the way she did...that bothered me. Its reassuring to see a doctor identify that AnneMarie failed fundamentally as a patient advocate.
@NatalieOutler@suttonsroller She was wrong though?
Alcohol doesnt affect the efficacy of gabapentin, it can just make you tired, but Sutton takes it before bed, therefore there is no problem.
As for the diagnosis, google it, its a very real condition, stretching doesnt always work.
