Another thread by Senator Ben Ray Luján here.

A book on the subject (haven't read it myself):

One of the sources in another one of Alisa's furiously impassioned twitter threads have been debunked, so I didn't include that. But she claims that her own family was caught in the fallout zone when her mother was a baby, which eventually led to her and large numbers of her community developing cancer. It's human for that kind of grief to be caught up in inaccuracies. People are already being ghastly and racist to Hispanos and Indigenous people criticizing the hype for the movie. They're not attacking Oppenheimer for being Jewish, they're criticising the erasure of the human cost of these bombs and the continued valorisation of the U.S military's actions in World War II as some kind of moral saviourism.

While Oppenheimer himself believed that the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were morally justified (they had planned to drop them on Germany except they surrendered before they could), he also felt had blood on his hands and regretted his role as the "Father of the Atomic Bomb". He spent the rest of his career vehemently opposing further development of thermonuclear weapons and the hydrogen bomb accurately predicting the concept of mutually assured destruction. This eventually made him a victim of Senator McCarthy's Red Scare and his clearance was revoked. I haven't seen the movie (Christopher Nolan is the kind of casual white racist I avoid on principle) but people who have seen it say that it doesn't glorify nuclear weapons and depicts the man himself with the complex moral nuance that seems to be accurately reflective of his real life.

The backlash to Indigenous and Hispanos people's criticisms and to people pointing out that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were genocides is also frustrating because...both world wars were a clash of genocidal empires. The reason they were world wars is because the countries colonized by Japan, China, the European powers and the US were all dragged into it, whether they wanted to or not. Jews were one of the many colonized peoples that suffered in that time, who were left to die by everyone until they could be used to frame the Allied powers as moral saviours, establishing a revisionist nostalgia for heroism that powers the US military industrial complex to this day.

As early as May 1942, and again in June, the BBC reported the mass murder of Polish Jews by the Nazis. Although both US President, Franklin Roosevelt, and British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, warned the Germans that they would be held to account after the war, privately they agreed to prioritise and to turn their attention and efforts to winning the war. Therefore, all pleas to the Allies to destroy the death camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau were ignored. The Allies argued that not only would such an operation shift the focus away from winning the war, but it could provoke even worse treatment of the Jews. In June 1944 the Americans had aerial photographs of the Auschwitz complex. The Allies bombed a nearby factory in August, but the gas chambers, crematoria and train tracks used to transport Jewish civilians to their deaths were not targeted.

Uncritical consumption of World War II media is the reinforcement of imperialist propaganda, more so when one group of colonized people is used to silence other colonized peoples. Pitting white Jewry against BIPOC is to do the work of white supremacy for imperialist colonizers, and victimizes Jews of colour twice over.

Edit: friends, there's been some doubt cast on the veracity of Alisa's claims. The human cost to the Hispanos population caught downwind of the nuclear tests is very real, as was land seizure without adequate compensation. However, there's no record I can yet find about Los Alamos killing livestock and Hispanos being forced to work for Los Alamos without PPE. There is a separate issue about human testing in the development of said PPE that's not covered here. I'm turning off reblogs until I can find out more. Meanwhile, here's another more legitimate article you can boost instead:

On April 21, Ali Hussein Julood, a 21-year-old living in the Iraqi town of Rumaila, on the outskirts of one of the world’s largest oil fields, died from leukaemia. He was told by doctors that pollution from gas flared in the nearby field, which is operated by British Petroleum (BP), had likely caused his cancer. “Gas flaring” is a low-cost procedure used by oil companies to burn off the natural gas expelled during drilling. [...] [I]t also contributes to global warming [...]. Some of the pollutants released during this process, such as benzene, are known to cause cancers and respiratory diseases. Ali, who had been battling cancer for six years when he died, was only the latest victim of the environmental degradation caused by international oil companies like BP in Iraq.

In towns and villages near the country’s vast oil fields, thousands of other men, women and children are still living under smoke-filled skies and suffering avoidable health problems because company executives insist on putting profit before lives. [...]

[A] confidential report from the Iraqi health ministry recently obtained by the BBC blamed pollution from gas flaring, among other factors, for a 20 percent rise in cancer in Basra, southern Iraq between 2015 and 2018. A second leaked document, again seen by the BBC, from the local government in Basra showed that cancer cases in the region are three times higher than figures published in the official nationwide cancer registry.

Like many other problems and crises that are devastating the lives of ordinary Iraqis today, the chain of events that led to the poisoning of southern Iraq’s skies by international oil companies also started during colonial times.

---

In the early 20th century, as its navy transitioned from coal to petrol, Britain found itself in increasing need of oil to run its empire and fuel its numerous war efforts. [...] In 1912, Britain formed the Turkish Petroleum Company (TPC) with the purpose of acquiring concessions from the Ottoman Empire to explore for oil in Mesopotamia. Following World War I, it brought modern-day Iraq under its own mandate [...]. By 1930, the TPC was renamed the Iraqi Petroleum Company (IPC) and was put under the control of a consortium made up of BP, Total, Shell and several other American companies. Together, they pushed for a series of “concession agreements” with the newly formed Iraqi government which would give them exclusive control of Iraq’s oil resources on pre-defined terms for long periods. By 1938, the IPC and its various subsidiaries had already secured the right to extract and export virtually all the oil in Iraq for 75 years. These concessions were granted to the IPC and its subsidiaries while Iraq was ruled by British-installed monarchs and under de facto British control. Thus the state had almost no negotiating power against the British-led consortium [...] In 1955, the Iraqi government started to voice its desire to use the gas being flared in Rumaila and Zubair for electricity generation. In 1960, while negotiating a concession with the IPC, then-Iraqi Prime Minister Abd al-Karim Qasim formally asked the company to let Iraq exploit the gas that it was not using. The same demand came up again and again [...], but IPC and its subsidiaries repeatedly turned the Iraqi government down. [...]

Following the 2003 invasion, the Iraqi oil industry was once again privatised as a result of pressure from the US and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). As was the case in the early 20th century, any negotiations on oil extraction rights took place when Iraq was still under foreign occupation [...]. When the process of auctioning off oil fields in southern Iraq began in 2008, the Iraqi government offered foreign oil companies long contracts of up to 25 years, reminiscent of the early concessions agreements with the IPC. These included stabilisation clauses, which insulated foreign companies from legal changes that might emerge over the course of their contracts. This meant that the companies were, and continue to be, unaffected by any environmental regulations passed by the Iraqi government to reduce pollution [...].

---

Looking back at the development of the oil industry in southern Iraq makes apparent that the kind of pollution that killed Ali has been in the making for some 70 years. His death – like the deaths of many others who succumbed to pollution-related cancers in his country – was not an unavoidable tragedy, but the natural consequence of a long history of colonial violence and extractive capitalism.

Predatory colonial practices that began over a century ago caused southern Iraq’s vast oil reserves to be left under the sole control of foreign companies today – companies that over and over again put profit before the lives of the Iraqi inhabitants of the lands they exploit.

Ali’s death is yet more proof that colonial violence is far from over and that it has many different faces.

I’m so sorry to ask you to do this, but you seem to have a relatively big platform on here. If you’re comfortable doing so, please urge your followers to research the Ben Gurion Canal Project. It is a canal that would connect the Red Sea to the Mediterranean and would be a 3rd longer than the Suez Canal, it’s one of the reasons why the US and the rest of the west is so adamant on eradicating Palestinians.

This is a map of Egypt, Sinai Peninsula, and Palestine. What is happening right now is the mass genocide of the Palestinian people in the Gaza strip and other mass murders in the West Bank. Israel wants to push all the men, women, and children they didn't murder from Gaza into the Sinai Peninsula which is a desert. They want complete control of Gaza, look at how small Gaza is, look at how small. There have been the equivalent of Hiroshima levels of bombs dropped into a place that is barely a few miles long. Palestine is NOT BIG, and Gaza isn't a country it's a part of Palestine, its a city.

I posting these to show the difference, I won't post all the gore and death pictures of the victims, people can look that up for themselves.

Gaza houses millions of Palestinians, many of whom are refuges from the 1948 Nakba, where their homes and lands in the north, south, and center of Palestine were destroyed or stolen by Israeli Settlers. Despite that they have a beautiful city, they built their lives there, through all the wars Israel waged on the Palestinian people they built beauty. This isn't the first time Gaza is being bombed. Gaza has been an open air concentration camp for 16 years, the people inside cannot leave, no one who isn't cleared by the Israeli Military can enter. They have cut off the people of Gaza from the rest of the world for years. No amount of peaceful protest by the people of Palestine asking Israel to take down the wall, to let them have rights, to let them return to their homes, to visit any other part of their country has worked. They murdered the peaceful protestors. This time though they don't want to just make war on Palestine, or drop the annual bombs, they want to eradicate the people of Palestine in Gaza. They are leveling this place to rubble. They have bombed grocery stories, schools, bakeries, universities, churches, mosques, hospitals, cancer centers, more hospitals, they have murdered over 10,000 people in one month, UN workers, Doctors, Journalists, civilians, babies, children, women, men, the elderly, the queers, the Christians, the Muslims, everyone, even the Israeli hostages they keep screaming about, 60 of them have been murdered by Israel themselves. Every form of life they can find they kill. They have cut off all aid. They have cut off all water. They have cut off or destroyed any sources of food. Even before this they have ships in the sea to stop fishermen from fishing too far out. They saw the starving people of Gaza fishing for food in this ongoing massacre, they bombed the boats. This is a genocide. They have been very open about how this is a genocide, there is no confusion here this is the deliberate genocide of the Palestinians. Israel has the support of America. Israel and America will not do a ceasefire. This is very deliberate. Why? The land is so small, they already have almost all of the other land, so why? Besides hating all Palestinians, besides that, why?

Gaza has oil/gas, the resource belongs to the Palestinian people. Israel has already made contracts for companies to come mine the resources. They don't have that right. It belongs to Gaza. Palestine has been slowly suffocating under the Israeli Occupation for 75 years, no human rights, no way for the economy to make money, no self determination, olive trees are burned, farmers land have been stolen, Israel pushes their own products for sale, everything is controlled by Israel. This resource would have brought in money to the Palestinian Economy, it could have lead to more jobs for people. They wouldn't have to rely on trying to get work visas to work in the occupied territories.

But the biggest reason? The Ben Gurion Canal Project.

We all know the Suez Canal, how could anyone on tumblr forget the Ever Given and the Suez Canal?

The Suez Canal brings in over 9 million dollars yearly to Egypt. Egypt controls the canal. Western Powers, America, UK, etc. don't like that. Israel wants to cut Palestine, they want to tear into its earth, they want to rip a scar down Palestine to make Ben Gurion Canal. If they did this, then they would control the canal, and all those millions of dollars would go right back to Israel and America and their allies. All that money made from the blood of innocent people. Built on the destruction of stolen land. Paid for with the lives of Palestinians. This is why Israel is will not stop murdering people. This is why America gave them the green light to murder as much people as they want. This is why they do not care about the history, bombed old historical buildings like the 3rd oldest church in the history of the world. This is why they do not care about a single Palestinian life.

It's not about religion, it's not about "arab terrorism", it's not about any of the lies that they tell. This is about leveling Gaza to dust so they can build their canal and bring more death and more control over neighboring countries and controlling resources in the middle east.

If you want to learn more about Palestine then follow @palipunk who has great resources, there are lots of books, and information out there just ready to teach people about who we are and why we fight so hard to survive. We deserve to live free on our land. Don't just listen to lies the Western and Israeli media tells everyone, do your own research and share if you all can.

Palestine is small. It's a country that wants to be free, from the British, from America, from Israel. Palestine has been fighting for so long to be free, all the people want is to live on their land, to grow their olive trees, to fish in the sea, to create, to love, to be able to visit each other without walls or soldiers controlling us, to pray, to share in humanity, to be respected and seen as humans. Palestine is old and small and beautiful. Palestine is made up of so many beautiful people and religions, we have such a rich culture and history, we love to sing, we love to dance, and write poetry, and tell stories, and cook, we love to learn, did you know we have the highest literacy rate per population? We love each other, we love the world. Palestine is our hearts, they are killing our hearts.

I think you post is one of the two (2!!) testimonies i found online about how much pap smears fucking hurt. I have a gyne appointment in two weeks and im honestly terrified. Last time i couldn't even get the pap smear done because i started screaming as soon as the doctor picked up the speculum and even the ultrasound probe felt like someone was cutting me open with a knife and all my doctor said was "uh weird. Can you even have sex?" and i said i don't have sex and the conversation ended. Now im going to another doctor and im still afraid she will brush it off because "pain is part of womanhood" or whatever the fuck!! I almost cried when she mentioned on the phone that i should actually get a pap smear done. I've been having nightmares about it... I think I will never get one again, honestly I prefer the risk of cervix cancer. And it's not even that, now im terrified of gynecological visits all together. And literally NO one talks about it ever. It's just "try relaxing! Try doing yoga! :)" fuck off!

(Link to the original post in question)

Yeah, I have to get another pap smear in three years, and I'm flat out going to refuse unless they knock me out for it. If they will not do that I'm not getting it. And I will not be shamed into allowing myself to be tortured. If doctors want me to get this procedure, then they need to provide anesthetic or laughing gas or what the fuck ever.

More people need to start speaking up about this and saying plainly, "Yes, it can literally be agonizing". Because at this moment everything you google about pap smears is literally just systemic fucking gaslighting and victim blaming.

I'm glad my post is helping other people feel seen and understood. Now we need to get more people to talk about it without being shamed into silence. Maybe more people would be willing to get pap smears if doctors weren't literally lying to their faces about how it doesn't hurt, and actually anesthesia or whatever the fuck you wanna call it.

This is systemic medical misogyny and it needs to be talked about and called out. People deserve to know the fucking truth instead of being lied to and guilted and shamed into getting a pap smear without any warning of how horrible it can be.

It is not our responsibility as patients to be propaganda machines for a procedure that is torturous just because doctors refuse to fucking provide pain relief for it. This shit needs to change. Any doctor who performs pap smears needs to be required to offer anesthesia of some kind, at no fucking cost to the patient.

Do u give money to people on tumblr?

Short answer, no. I don't reblog those posts, either. Majority of them are scammers, bonus scamster points if they use their race/gender as emotional manipulation. (Rant incoming cause this pissed me off, not you, but it had me thinking about a lot of shit). I'm sorry but I could never be on Tumblr begging for money, that's embarrassing, no offense. I commend anyone who's shameless enough to do that cause in all seriousness, couldn't be me. I feel like there are just some things you shouldn't do & asking strangers, half of which are minors, to give you their hard earned money in trade for nothing is one of them. The victim mentality of "let me spam my followers with a bunch of sob story updates about my life's issues & guilt trip them into giving me cash", no. Leave them alone. That shit's annoying, inconsiderate & entitled. & it's always the same fucking people holding their hand out. The people you're begging for cash are more than likely struggling too & need theirs. Tumblr is the worst place to ask for assistance. If you need money then you should seek a financial aid program, or I don't know, log the fuck out & get a job like everyone else? That's what people who need money do. There's no excuse, I said this before & I'll say it again, making money nowadays is easier than it has ever been cause of access to technology. Everything is virtual. You can work from home. There are people making millions eating for a fucking living on YouTube. If you're broke atp it's cause you either make excuses for why you can't work or you're just lazy. It's a choice. You don't even need to physically go out & find a real job. Make something. Perform a service. Everyone has something they can offer. Don't sit there & expect people to pay you for nothing. I hate lazy ass people who wallow in self pity, make excuses & don't contribute anything to society & simply exist to leech off others. It's parasitic & pathetic. You "can't work", but you can play around on social media every day? Hmm. You deserve to live in poverty then. You're not special. You better sell some p-ssy, d!ck or c*ke. If you're bussing it open to everyone anyway you might as well get paid for it, in the words of my wife, "make it count". Seriously, I don't respect those people. Tumblr beggars are the equivalent of irl bums who loiter at gas stations harassing passersby for change. It's fucking irritating & unfair that we live in a world where weak people are rewarded, coddled, catered to & given breaks for doing nothing. "Oh well, you know, John can't work, he's dealing with a breakup that has him in a deep depression. I just- I don't know if his mental health will allow him to work." Bro, I sympathize but at the end of the day, screw John. He has no real problems. There are people with cancer & aids right now who are working. People with no limbs are working. He can work, he's physically able to, but ultimately he won't cause he's a mentally weak man with no drive. Let's just call it what it is. I've been homeless & depressed before, I dug myself out of that hole WITH NO HELP, if people can bounce back from homelessness, addiction, abusive relationships & rebuild their lives, if people with deformities can work there's no excuse for why these lazy asses are living in houses, have food & water, with themselves being the only person they have to take care of but they're on here begging us & living off the gov't. That shit IS sad. & I get so heated over this topic cause the bastards who log on & beg aren't going to log off fucking Tumblr & make adjustments so they can afford to live, they're not going to or offer an exchange, they'll continue to do this shit. In the comfort of their home. Meanwhile, the ones they beg have to scrounge. So no motherfucker, I can't help you spend my money. Follower counts mean nothing here cause nobody gets paid on this dead app, this ain't YouTube. If you have hella followers but you still can't eat or pay your bills it's a sign your priorities are fucked. Up. Your followers owe you nothing. Have a little pride & self respect.

#(& this isn't directed at you ❤️ It's me venting about wanting to smack the dog shit out of those people)#To clarify I empathize with people who have disabilities & impairments that prevent them from working #(autism down syndrome paraplegics birth defects people in wheelchairs those can't walk properly etc)#I love them for trying & I'm not talking about them #I'm willing to help those people ❤️#I'm talking about the parasites who whine about how their life is so damn hard while sitting at home on social media collecting a check #AND beg us for our money while they actively do nothing to better their lives #Those who can walk skip jump with fully functional bodies but use anything as an excuse as to why they can't work & seek pity & donations #Fuck them #They deserve NOTHING & half of 'em are scammers #Log off Tumblr & sell your fucking iPhone 11 if you need money #Stop bothering these people #long post #ask box #inbox #self vent #answered

Allegra Roseberry, 41 (USA 1988)

Allegra Roseberry didn’t want to have an abortion.

She was surprised to find out that she was pregnant at all. 20 years before, she underwent costly fertility treatments to have her son Matthew. She hadn’t ever expected to even be able to get pregnant again.

But she was also scared. Allegra had been diagnosed with cancer and had been undergoing treatments with medications. Her signs of pregnancy had been mistaken for additional cancer symptoms or side effects of the medicine. There was an experimental cancer treatment program that Allegra was eligible for, and that treatment might have saved her life. But Allegra’s doctor told her that she couldn’t get the treatment if she was pregnant.

This was false. Allegra was still eligible for the experimental program even though she was pregnant. She didn’t want an abortion, but her doctor continued to pressure her, saying that her baby was doomed anyway. This was also a lie. Baby Amy Ann was perfectly fine.

At 23 weeks pregnant, Allegra underwent the abortion she didn’t even want. There was no medical reason to do it. It was later confirmed that she could have survived and had the baby (by induced birth or C-section) just a few weeks later. Allegra’s pregnancy did not disqualify her from the experimental treatment and her daughter, Amy Ann Roseberry, would have survived if the abortion hadn’t been done.

Allegra was far too sick for an abortion. She developed sepsis and only outlived Amy Ann for 4 days. She and her daughter were both victims of abortion.

Allegra’s devastated husband sued for the death of his wife and daughter. Despite the claims that were made to force Allegra into the abortion, an autopsy revealed that Amy Ann was healthy and would have survived. The jury delivered a verdict that the doctor who pressured Allegra into an unwanted abortion was indeed responsible for the wrongful death of baby Amy Ann, but returned no verdict for the wrongful death of Allegra.

Abortion was not medically necessary. It did not save Allegra’s life and in fact shortened her life even more. Allegra’s husband and son lost half of their family to a single unwanted, unsafe and unnecessary abortion.

Roseberry v. Brooks court case 461 S.E.2d 262 (1005) 218 Ga. App. 202

The Bhopal Tragedy

On the night of December 2nd, 1984, a Union Carbide plant in Bhopal, India, began leaking 27 tonnes of the deadly gas methyl isocyanate. None of the six safety systems designed to contain such a leak were operational, allowing the gas to spread throughout the city of Bhopal. Half a million people were exposed to the gas and 25,000 have died to date as a result of their exposure. More than 120,000 people still suffer from ailments caused by the accident and the subsequent pollution at the plant site. These ailments include blindness, extreme difficulty in breathing and gynaecological disorders. In the Immediate aftermath, the health care system immediately became overloaded. In the severely affected areas, nearly 70% were under-qualified doctors. Medical staff were unprepared for the thousands of casualties. Doctors and hospitals were not aware of proper treatment methods for MIC gas inhalation. There were mass funerals and cremations. Within a few days, trees in the vicinity became barren, and bloated animal carcasses had to be disposed of. 170,000 people were treated at hospitals and temporary dispensaries, and 2,000 buffalo, goats, and other animals were collected and buried. Supplies, including food, became scarce owing to suppliers' safety fears. Fishing was prohibited, causing further supply shortages. Formal statements after a few weeks were issued that air, water, vegetation, and foodstuffs were safe, but people were warned not to consume fish. The number of children exposed to the gases was at least 200,000. Within weeks, the State Government established a number of hospitals, clinics, and mobile units in the gas-affected area to treat the victims. A cohort of 80,021 exposed people was registered, along with a control group, a cohort of 15,931 people from areas not exposed to MIC. Nearly every year since 1986, they have answered the same questionnaire. It shows excess mortality and morbidity in the exposed group. Bias and confounding factors cannot be excluded from the study. Because of migration and other factors, 75% of the cohort is lost, as the ones who move out are not followed. A number of clinical studies are performed. The quality varies, but the different reports support each other. Studied and reported long-term health effects are: Eyes: Chronic conjunctivitis, scars on cornea, corneal opacities, early cataracts Respiratory tracts: Obstructive and/or restrictive disease, pulmonary fibrosis, aggravation of tuberculosis and chronic bronchitis Neurological system: Impairment of memory, finer motor skills, numbness, etc. Psychological problems: Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Children's health: Peri- and neonatal death rates increased. Failure to grow, intellectual impairment, etc. Missing or insufficient fields for research are female reproduction, chromosomal aberrations, cancer, immune deficiency, neurological sequelae, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and children born after the disaster. Late cases that might never be highlighted are respiratory insufficiency, cardiac insufficiency (cor pulmonale), cancer and tuberculosis. Bhopal now has high rates of birth defects and records a miscarriage rate 7x higher than the national average. The site has never been properly cleaned up and it continues to poison the residents of Bhopal.

Summary:

Martin’s hard to ask about much of anything. He talks, sure, about the cows on their daily walks to stave away the depression from sitting inside and gettin no sun, about how nice it is to be out of the city – and when Jon asks him if he’s lived in a small town before, Martin goes back to shrugs and nods and “mhm hm”s, and it’s all Jon can do not to yell at him and ask him if he really wanted to come out of the lonely if all he’s going to do is take it with him. It changes over a pack of cigarettes.

Warnings: Addiction, arguments, communication issues, emotional self-harm, invasion of privacy, smoking.

Mentions of cancer, self-sacrifice, stalking, suicidal ideation (implied).

Scotland is beautiful, especially the highlands. It’s all endless greenery and quaint cottages. Jon’s lived in cities all his life – Bournemouth, Oxford, London – finally getting to live in such a rural place as Dunnet is good, even under the circumstances.

It’s not fair. It’s hypocritical, even, god knows Jon’s not great at sharing his feelings, but he wants to try, at least, for Martin. But Jon’s never been good at sharing, and Martin’s guarding his feelings closely, so they continue in this awful dance around each other, asking what they want to eat, and should they pop back into town rather than actual real questions.

It changes over a pack of cigarettes.

They’re unpacking groceries. Jon came with Martin to the town, talked about the old crofting houses, and the church, and even the gunshop — “furthest north in Scotland,” he’d told Martin instead of actually talking to him. Jon goes into the shop, picks up cans of soup and asks for a packet of cigarettes. Then he walked out, with Martin waiting outside, anxious about letting Jon out of his site — and Jon wants to tell himself it’s Martin’s fear of the Lonely coming back, he really does — but more anxious about having to interact with the shopkeeper.

Jon emerges with bags full of groceries, Martin takes one, and they walk back together. Martin points out the scenery. Jon empties his endless vat of non-supernatural knowledge, surprising himself and Martin with how much he knows.

“It was probably one of my procrastination research rabbit holes in university,” he explains to Martin, then remembers Martin hasn’t gone to university, nor even finished high school and is torn between apologising or saying nothing, and instead lapses into awkward, uncomfortable silence.

It’s so easy to be alone with someone you love, when you can’t love them how you want to, and instead you’re stuck with silence and small talk.

So, they’ve returned, they’re unpacking the groceries, and Martin takes out a pack of cigarettes, and Jon — so used to buying groceries with Georgie in their time together in university — takes it from Martin’s hand without a second thought. He smokes and Georgie doesn’t. He smokes and Martin doesn’t. He’ll smoke outside, bring one of the quilts out, look up at the stars framed by the curling wisps coming from his mouth and cigarette.

“You bought the cigarettes?” Martin asks.

“Uh, yes, I mean, unless you’re a smoker too.”

Martin shrugs. “I’m not,” he says, in that flat tone that shows that he wants the conversation to be over.

“Alright.” Jon pockets the cigarettes. “I’ll smoke outside, and I won’t litter.” Jon tries for a joke. “Leave only footprints, you know.”

“I don’t like you smoking,” Martin says.

Jon looks back at him. “Alright,” he says. “Sorry?”

“You should stop,” he continues. “It’ll kill you one day.”

Jon scoffs. “Yes, Martin, I know. It legally has to say it on the box.”

“So, you know, but you’re just going to put your life in danger?”

Jon looks up at the ceiling, takes a deep breath. “Martin, can we not talk about the smoking—”

“What, should we talk about the coffin then?” Martin snaps, suddenly fierce. “God, Jon, you just love an opportunity to put yourself in harms way, and ignore everyone who tries to stop you—”

“I know the risks of smoking,” Jon interrupts. Christ, he’s had this conversation too many times. “And I knew the risks of the coffin.”

“Yeah, well obviously you just don’t pay attention. Or care about your own life” Martin’s seeming more like himself, getting worked up over something that shouldn’t even be his business. Thank God for small mercies.

“You can talk,” Jon says, voice brittle and cold.

Martin tenses. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“I mean, I’m not the only one here who’s— who’s done something stupid.”

Martin glares at him. “No, you’re not. But at least mine was to save the world—”

“I wanted to save Daisy—”

“And yours was just some convoluted way of punishing yourself for being a monster.”

Jon can’t help it. He flinches. Martin softens. “Jon, I—”

“No,” he interrupts. “Say it. Say I’m a monster.” It feels almost good to finally get it out into the open, to say the word. Monster, monster.

“I’m not—”

“Say it!” He can feel it on his tongue, the Ceaseless Watcher’s influence, make him say that I’m a monster.

“When Jess Tirrell told me someone — something — took her statement, left her in that state, I knew it was you.” The words are forced from Martin’s lips, he can’t do anything to stop them from coming out. It feels good to have it out in the open. “And when she told me what you did, I... I hated it, but I could reconcile it with you. I could reconcile it with the person who was an absolute bastard to me for the first year I knew him; could reconcile it with the person who stalked me and Tim; could reconcile it with the thing Elias described in your statement, the thing that didn’t even care about the human life it was ruining. What do you mean you don’t feel pity?”

Martin’s breathing hard. Jon’s almost elated and he doesn’t know if it’s the Ceaseless Watcher through him or his own relief at not having to dance around it anymore.

“I’m sorry,” Martin says.

“It’s fair,” Jon responds.

“You forced me to say it.” Martin’s got that laugh in his voice, Jon knows it well.

“Next time say it of your own will, then,” Jon says teresely, then softens. “Look, I know it was wrong, but I’m tired of dancing around this. I’m tired of having a conversation that’s just nothing, I’m tired of being with you and it still feeling like you can’t see me, and I can’t see you.

“I don’t want to hurt you. I don’t want to compel you. I just want you to talk to me.”

There’s a pause.

“Fine,” Martin says. “I think you’re stupidly self-sacrificial and have a flagrant disregard for your own safety. I think you think it doesn’t matter to other people, but it does. And I think you think that what I said was the full truth, and it’s not, because you and I both know that thing in your head doesn’t show you all it sees.”

“Fine,” Jon challenges. “What did you think when you found out what I did to — what I did to my victims?” There’s no hint of a compulsion on his tongue, but Jon wants there to be.

“I couldn’t reconcile it with the person who almost died to avenge Sasha. Who died trying to save the world. Who sacrificed bits of himself to save people he didn’t even like. I can’t reconcile it with my view of you.”

Jon is quiet for a long while. Then, finally, he speaks. “I can’t either.” Martin doesn’t respond, so Jon continues. “I know I did it, I know I wanted to do it, I know I want to do it, but at the same time, I find it abhorrent, at the same time, I am wishing and begging for myself to stop. Does that explain anything?”

“Not really,” Martin answers. “But... thanks.”

They both pause, take stock of their surroundings. “We should probably pack away the groceries.”

“Yeah,” Martin agrees. “Still don’t want you smoking.”

Jon sighs. “Martin, if I live long enough to get lung cancer, I’m considering it a win.”

It doesn’t solve anything. They fight often, they don’t talk even more so, but as they unpack the groceries and curl up in bed, they at least feel lighter.

World of Darkness horror set-piece idea:

A truck stop (Doug's Service Stop, Full Service, Showers, Hot Bar, Overnight Lot) in the middle of nowhere (For my purposes it's just off a well traveled byway in the forest or on a long stretch of desert), where the night crew are all Vampires, and the day crew are ghouls. They feed mostly on vagrants, sometimes on the sort of asshole customers we'd all like to strangle.

Their M.O. is to ensure that such people are always seen leaving on the CCTV footage (under various pretenses, such as one of the lot lizards acting as a honey pot) before recapturing them. Often this happens because the guy filling the gas and checking the tire pressure ensures a flat will occur within the next 20 miles.

Ghouls on the local sheriff's roster help cover up the disappearances, and a friendly gang moves the cars into a chop shop (sometimes in exchange for a fresh victim, mostly for the value of the cars).

The nearest local community has never been harassed by them and thinks of them as jaded cynics just trying to earn a living.

The food isn't bad, the showers are hot, and the service is okay, even if the staff are a little odd.

Odd stuff in and around:

The truck stop was built in the mid 60's, updated in the 90's, has Wi-Fi, but slow and spotty, Network is called "Doug's Dome"

The weather is always 10 degrees too cold for the surrounding area.

CB Channel 8 has some sort of ethereal humming going on, but signals still come through clear.

Ghostly hitchhikers are somewhat common on that stretch of highway.

Artie, the kid sitting behind the register doesn't appear on the Monitor, just an empty chair, until he notices someone noticing, will simply shrug it off.

Pete, the guy who does the actual service, smells like clove cigarettes and copper, determines marks by how much attention they give him.

There are three heavily burled trees suffering from what appears to be the floral equivalent of cancer, but appear otherwise healthy behind the station. There is a kite visibly stuck in one.

4 miles prior to arriving the road is splattered with day-old gore, no roadkill in sight.

The coffee is always suspiciously fresh.

spending my sunday night watching "the railway men" and it genuinely makes me so infuriated that a bunch of selfish people who couldn't care less about the average person's wellbeing properly caused one of the world's biggest industrial disasters , a gas leak of MIC which when mixed with water would boil into a an extremely toxic gas, which lead to, to date ; 25,000 total casualties and more than 100,000 people still affected by the gas leak, roughly 200,000 children were exposed to gas. and it's not even like the people that just came into contact with the gas were fine; on average bhopal, the city in which the gas leak took place; has a higher risk of cancer, deformations, miscarriages, and diseases. the area of bhopal is yet to be properly cleaned and it still has effects on the people residing in bhopal today.

one of the worst parts to me is the fact that the man that was supposed to keep the place properly managed, warren anderson; was briefly jailed before being bailed out and escorted back to the united states with what was essentially vip treatment. the indian government charged anderson with manslaughter charges along with his associates but anderson never showed up to court and was never prosecuted on these charges. that's what makes me so angry, that a guilty man was permitted to walk free and that nobody did anything. during the time of anderson's arrest the us was still spending representatives of its government to settle the situation and there is little to no justice for the victims and family of victims today. generations after the gas leaks still are suffering from the affects of this leak.

not my usual type of post, just wanted to bring some more awareness to the tragedy

.....“Please @realDonaldTrump don’t be using me for anything, I’m not a victim of Jan 6, I pleaded guilty because I was guilty! #StopTheSpin,” Pamela Hemphill of Idaho wrote on the platform.

She added that Trump should not compare her to the current president’s son.

“He didn’t try to attack the Capitol!” she tweeted.

Hemphill says that until three months ago she was under the spell of what she calls “the Trump cult.” She attended the Jan. 6 rally as a self-appointed “citizen journalist” and videographer after her brother gave her a plane ticket to Washington. He was trying to lift her spirits as she fought breast cancer.

“My brother calls, says, ‘Hey, you, since you’re going to start chemotherapy, why don’t you go see Trump and video-record that?’” she told The Daily Beast. “I said I couldn’t afford it. But he said, ‘I’ll give it to you for a Christmas present.’”

Three days after Christmas, Hemphill announced on Facebook that she was going to Washington.

“It’s not going to be a FUN Trump rally that is planned for January 6th, it’s a WAR!”

She added, “The fight for America is REAL, show up. I don’t need to hear your excuses!” We have no second chances. If Millions, and I mean Millions show up, we may have a chance. FIND A WAY!”

That New Year’s Eve, a friend posted on Facebook what Hemphill says was just a joke photo of her holding a plastic rifle.

“Happy New Year! On my way to Washington on January 6,” the caption read.

Hemphill later said that she had not realized how lost she had become.

“You don’t see it as a cult when you’re in it,” she told The Daily Beast. “You don’t recognize it.”

She says she still had 40 stitches from her breast surgery when she was caught up in the rush into the Capitol building. She credits one of the cops with saving her from serious injury. A combination of excitement and pain medication caused her to then urge the crowd to go on in, she says

“This is your house. Your house!” she can be heard saying on her own video.

“I started seeing the narcissistic behavior,” she recalled. “And I said, ‘Wait, wait, this is gaslighting. This is not true.’” She began to listen to what her gut had been telling her.

“I never liked how he talked to people anyway,” she recalled. “He’s rude. He’s very mean to people.”

She discerned the truth about “fake news.”

“Tell everybody it’s fake news and they don’t listen to that news,” she said.

She became angry when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and others spoke of her as a victim.

“What’s happened is they're using me like a victim,” Hemphill said. “I’m not a victim. I pleaded guilty because I was guilty, period. I mean, I was trespassing. I had a choice—I could have left.”

And she was disturbed by the ongoing Trump mania.

“All those flags with his picture on it and T-shirts,” she said. “It’s like, ‘Wait, you guys, this is getting a little weird.’”

Organized Crime Ring in Astoria, NY, in a neighborhood under the jurisdiction of 114th PRECINCT and in apartment buildings managed by CENTRAL ASTORIA, LLC. I have been the victim of TARGETED COMMUNITY HARASSMENT SINCE SUMMER 2016 because of my race and gender, I am an African American woman (because of a rumor / gossip mill started by staff at NYC DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION while I was employed there from 2014 to 2016 I was made the victim of TARGETED PSYCHOLOGICAL HARASSMENT). Due to the illegal access and leaking of private, personal, confidential information by wiretapping / cloning / hacking of personal devices and illegal surveillance in my residence. This includes leaking of confidential medical information (HPV, strains that can cause cervical cancer and an Abortion) - Blackberry Messenger (BBM) between DEVIN ELTON THOMPSON and myself in MARCH 2011 - I ENDED OUR CASUAL DATING RELATIONSHIP that began in the BRONX, NY in MAY 2010 (per a blind date hook up by mutual acquaintance SHO CLARK) - POST 3 of 3 - BBM Exchange with DEVIN ELTON THOMPSON MARCH 2011 pages 3 through 5)

PAGE 3 of 5

3232520E: "I'm real" 3232520E: "Your really fake"

(ABDOULAZIZ BARRY, a friend / colleague I met in FEBRUARY 2015 while employed at NYC DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION who I had to eventually cut off in MAY 2016 due to harassment / gaslighting on GOOGLE HANGOUTS chat after I quit NYC DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION and reported WORKPLACE MOBBING to NYS DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.

BARRY made a reference to me being fake in one of our final GOOGLE HANGOUT exchanges in 2016, which I thought was rather bizarre because it had no factual basis, in retrospect I believe it was DIRECTED CONVERSATION, referencing this exchange)

3232520E: "And I am tired of pulling blood from a stone" 3232520E: "Why do I bother…. U don't want my love"

ME: "I'm no liar" ME: "No fake either" ME: "But u have an opinion and u r entitled to it" ………….

3232520E: "If u know I'm not using the money foe a girl why the fuck would u type that" 3232520E: "To piss me off right" …………….. 3232520E: "My problem is your a f&%king b!tch and u think its ok"

(DEVIN ELTON THOMPSON, disrespected me, called me a bitch basically because I would not give him the $$ and I told him I was not comfortable giving him $$ especially if he was going to be spending it on his harem of women, lol)

3232520E: "All I ask" 3232520E: "One thing" 3232520E: "Don't bring up females"

PAGE 4 of 5

ME: "I'm not a bitch" ME: "Don't call me out my name please" ME: "I don't do it to u"

3232520E: "I don't give a fuck" 3232520E: "This is the devin u earned" ……………… 3232520E: "And u don't deserve a real n!$#ga"

(DEVIN ELTON THOMPSON telling me I don't deserve him because he is real but yet he still has not told me about his 19 yo gf, ELISA VELASQUEZ, as he stated he would be before.

He stated he would always be up front about other women, that was his declaration, not mine.

I don't know how long they were dating but I knew since FEBRUARY 2011, per FACEBOOK relationship status, so I am assuming it went back sometime before that)

ME: "Like seriously we should talk"

3232520E: "U deserve some cornball"

ME: "Yes I do"

3232520E: "I hope u find them" ……………….

ME: "I'm trying to help u grow a bit" ME: " But u won't c that now" 3232520E: "Hate that I ever loved u" ME: "Maybe u will later"

3232520E: "Fuck u" 3232520E: "U not my mom"

ME: "Ok" ME: "I understand that"

3232520E: "Go help someone else GROW" ……………. 3232520E: "Seriously do not call or anything" 3232520E: "All I have for u now is detest and disdain"

ME: " I don't for u" ME: "I respect ur feelings"

3232520E: "No your work in progress my issue is I love pussy not tricking off stupid bitches that aint me and the fact u would write that shows me how ignorant u r to the man u had"

(DEVIN ELTON THOMPSON stated he loves pu&sy and not giving money to women)

ME: "Ok"

3232520E: "Just leave me alone please I will learn to live without u starting tonight"

ME: "But u don't have to" ME: "Just breathe"

PAGE 5 of 5

ME: "Have a glass of wine" ME: "Smoke something"

3232520E: "U can't stop being dumb" 3232520E: "So I can't have u around"

ME: "Stop with the dumb shit ok"

3232520E: "U just make me want to break everything"

ME:"I'm not fuckimg dumb"

3232520E: "Fuck u" 3232520E: "Yes u r"

(This grown 30 year old man is going off on me calling me dumb, telling me f u, etc. because of his poor decisions.

First of all if you were not entirely prepared / financially stable to pick up and move to another country maybe you should not have done it or delayed it when you were in a more stable condition.

At this point I had only known DEVIN ELTON THOMPSON for about 10 months, the majority of which was spent long distance and had done alot for him that I did not have to do at all.

I would think there were family members, even other women he knew longer than me that he could have depended on.

Don't get mad at, disrespect and belittle me because you are just out here living on the lamb and expecting people to do for you that don't have to and that don't owe you anything. You are a 30 year old man)

ME: "Whatever"

3232520E: "Delete me" 3232520E: "And go to hell" 3232520E: "Seriously"

ME: "I'm probably the only women who has ever said shit to u that is contrary" ME: "And u hate that shit" …………..

3232520E: "That shit u wrote was dumb" 3232520E: "I don't lie and I want money for my fucking rent"

ME: "It is said tht we often attract ppl in our lives that highlight our weaknesses to cause growth and when it doesn't work it means the ppl persons were not ready to accept change / growth in their lives…."

3232520E: "Guess 5 minutes wasn't enough time for venting because I still want to curse u the f%ck out I f%cking hate u now"

ME: "Ok"

3232520E: "Thanks for the hate" 3232520E: "Your time is up" 3232520E: "I'm still mad"

ME: "What does the hate do?"

3232520E: "So goodbye"

ME: "Goodbye"

3232520E: "The hate does this" 3232520E: "Goodbye" 3232520E: "Last words?

ME: " If this makes u feel better completely" ME: "Then do what u have to do but I'm not deleting u" 3232520E: "Last words"

ME: "What can I say" ME: "Ur mad"

3232520E: "That is all u have to say" 3232520E: "No this isn't mad"

ME: "U can't c past the anger"

3232520E: "This is being smart" 3232520E: "When someone only hurts u time and time again"

(This was a figment of DEVIN ELTON THOMPSON'S imagination. I did not hurt him.

His unrealistic / high expectations with no real reciprocity made him feel hurt when the gravy train ran out; I did not hurt him.

All this time he's "venting" he still hasn't mentioned anything about gf, I am still sitting on this info.

Also probably a ploy to make me feel bad / guilty because he still needs money for his rent and I stated I would not give it to him.

I had already sent him money previously on a couple of occassions, shipped numerous care packages with a ton of sh!t in them, bought him a Play Station 3 with additional games, called him nearly every day using phone card during the time when he first moved and did not have Internet, visited him in November 2010 to celebrate our birthday together at my own expense, need I say more….I could but I'll leave it there because this is boring me and I don't want to do this but these people around me have given me no choice because they continue to subliminally / psychologically harass me about this guy nearly everyday for the last 8 years and I am just recounting what has been done to me and the horrible memories these people continue to conjure up to retraumatize me)

ME: "Do what u think is best devin….." ME: "And won't listen to reason" ME: "U have to protect yourselg" 3232520E: "That is what I am doing" ME: " U r angry now and there is nothing"

3232520E: "Protecting myself from a hurtful vindictive bitch"

ME: "I can say"

(There is more to this communication, if I get my hands on it at some point I will post it later but the remainder of the communication was me telling him he needed to ask his 19 year old child / gf (ELISA VELASQUEZ) for the money and leave me alone disrepecting me after all I did for him and the ways in which I showed up for him.

The weight of dealing with DEVIN ELTON THOMPSON was becoming heavy and obligatory, with little to no return, and the multiple occassions of verbal disrespect of calling me a bitch, idiot, dumb, these are terms that rolled off his fingertips like a basketball would roll off fingertips for a layup.

These terms of disrespect preceded the spiel DEVIN ELTON THOMPSON gave about SPITTING IN MY FACE if he saw me in person and "f&ck u with an HIV dick" vitriol DEVIN ELTON THOMPSON spewed at me in JULY 2011, a mere 2 months after this exchange in response to me not wanting to talk to him about resuming a romantic situation with him but wanting to keep it cute, platonic, and friendly.

I was done and again had to get him off my phone and send him home to his girlfriend or anyone who could distract him from interjecting himself into my life to verbally / emotionally harass me.)
