#TENI & Tea

[coochiequeens]

“Any person or group with good intentions does not vilify parents, purposely mislead the public nor regard themselves as above reproach. These are clear red flags,” Kimmel said.

A mother in Ireland was visited by police after she raised concerns about the speaker and content of a “family friendly” event which had been aimed at discussing the medical and social transitioning of children.

On July 19, Tara Hewitt, the newly-appointed head of Ireland’s largest trans activist organization, led a discussion regarding the medical transitioning of children. The event, “TENI & Tea,” took place with the support of Donegal County Council.

But the event drew concerns from women’s rights advocates in the community, especially those particularly concerned with child safeguarding. As the event was billed as “family-friendly,” many began to point out that Hewitt had a disturbing history of opposing safeguarding measures and had previously signed a declaration calling for the release of all trans-identified inmates, including pedophiles, from prison.

Last week, Jennifer Kimmel, a local women’s rights campaigner, expressed her concerns when speaking with Reduxx about the event. Kimmel pointed out that Hewitt, the new CEO of Trans Equality Network Ireland (TENI), was a self-professed BDSM fetishist.

Kimmel called into question the motives of the event organizers, Bród na Gaeltachta and TENI, for targeting minors and “vilifying” concerned parents.

“Any person or group with good intentions does not vilify parents, purposely mislead the public nor regard themselves as above reproach. These are clear red flags,” Kimmel said.

But Kimmel’s concerns about the event quickly attracted the attention of trans activists, who characterized her Tweets as “hate speech.”

Speaking to Reduxx, Kimmel explained that in response to her vocal opposition to the event, trans activists involved with “TENI & Tea” reported her to law enforcement, citing “concerns about the safety of their staff” and accusing Kimmel of “hate speech.”

On July 20, a police officer visited her home, where she said she was then “lectured about being homophobic.”

The police officer gave her a warning, stating she was treading a “fine line” and had been reported by the main organizers of “TENI & Tea,” Robbie Matthews and Pól Penrose. The officer dismissed her concerns and told her that she should “run her own event.”

Leading up to the arrival of an officer on her doorstep, Kimmel says she had called Pobail le Chéile, a local “social inclusion” voluntary organization in which Penrose is involved. Her intent was to raise safeguarding concerns given Hewitt’s history.

Kimmel explained to law enforcement that she had not harassed any particular individual, and had only called to inform the community group about the potential risk to children. She also told the officer that the event staff had insulted her in a variety of ways, calling her a “bigot, fascist, homophobe, anti-gay, cockroach, and TERF,” slurs which had led to her to receiving harassment.

Speaking with Reduxx about her interaction with the officer, Kimmel said: “I am a local mother who is very familiar with the damage trans ideology can do to women and our children. I simply attempted to register my child safeguarding concerns about the upcoming TENI event specifically targeting children.”

She continued: “This was framed as ‘far right bigotry‘ and I was referred to as anti-gay, a cockroach, fascist and a Nazi by the men promoting the events who thwarted all my attempts to address this matter through proper channels.”

She then explained that the men promoting the event purposely put her and her family in danger by referring to her in an extremist and derogatory manner.

But despite local opposition, the event went ahead as planned on July 19, and was categorized as a “health class” on Eventbrite. According to the registration page, the discussion, led by Hewitt, was meant to “provide up to date information, knowledge and allow for discussion on how best to support trans and non-binary young people.”

Tara Hewitt was previously the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Lead at the Northern Care Alliance NHS Group. In his role, Hewitt requested that medical personnel ignore a guidance put forward by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) preserving single-sex spaces for women receiving health services. Hewitt also branded the guidance by the EHRC as “transphobic” and urged his colleagues within the NHS to ignore its guidance. 

“This guidance is highly likely to be found unlawful at Judicial review & is incredibly transphobic … When will attacks on trans people end in UK? I urge my equality professional colleagues to give this guidance the credibility it deserves by putting it in bin & continue as usual,” Hewitt said.

With his statement, Hewitt deliberately ignored a widely-publicized incident that had occurred one month prior wherein a woman who had been raped in a single-sex hospital ward by a trans-identified male was told her assailant was a “woman.”

Hewitt has been politically active in both Labour and, more recently, the Conservative Party, for which he stood as a councilor. During his campaign it emerged that he had an interest in BDSM and dressing up as an animal during sex, euphemistically referred to as “furrydom.” He is also known for openly having discussed the acceptance of men with sexual fetishes at events focused on healthcare. 

During a 2016 presentation for the LGBT Cancer Support Alliance, Hewitt spoke about men who cross-dress for sexual pleasure, and clarified that men who wear women’s underwear to satisfy a fetish are included under the trans umbrella.

Speaking to a room filled with women, Hewitt claimed: “You’ve got people that fetishistically cross-dress and wear clothing to get a sexual desire out of the clothing of the opposite gender. It generally tends to be associated with men wearing women’s underwear.”

At the same presentation, Hewitt revealed that he had also worked with Action for Trans Health, an organization which published a manifesto demanding the immediate release of all trans criminals from prison.

“We demand that trans people are immediately freed from police, military, and government contracts without repercussions. We reject the system of blackmail that corporations and governments engage in, whereby trans people who can work are ‘rewarded’ with slightly less mistreatment in exchange for the exploitation of our labor,” read the document.

The manifesto, which has since been deleted, was published on Tumblr in 2018 and also demanded tax-payer funded access to all forms of plastic surgery and body modification without any questions asked by medical professionals.

“We demand the freedom to alter our bodies without justification. We demand an end to all surgical prerequisites — nobody should have to prove life experience, health, or have to be taking hormones in order to exercise bodily autonomy,” Action for Trans Health stated. 

“We demand that these surgeries can be highly customized to meet our individual and unique needs. We demand the right to multiple surgeries, including reversal of previous surgeries if desired, so that we do not have to fear regret.”

Let me make you a cup of Tea

Enid Sinclair estaba en la biblioteca de su universidad para estudiar, tenía un examen en dos días y aún le costaba aprender una parte del contenido de la asignatura. Estaba sola, su amiga y compañera Yoko Tanka la había dejado plantada para tener una cita con su novia Divina. Así que intento estudiar durante dos horas, las cuales solo en la primera hora, hizo un esfuerzo para entender lo que estaba leyendo.

—Me rindo— Dijo con exasperación, cerró el libro, guardó sus lápices y hojas donde había tomado algunos apuntes.

Salió de la biblioteca y vio que era tarde, se dio prisa para llegar a su departamento, el que estaba cerca de donde estudiaba, así que el camino lo hace caminando.  Cuando salió del edificio, vio que llovía.

—Suerte la mía, no ando vestida para un día así— Dijo con frustración.  Sus pantalones, tenis y suéter multicolor no son los más adecuadas para este aguacero.

Enid hizo su camino sin prisa, ni siquiera utilizó su mochila como un paraguas. La gente que pasaba por su lado iba casi corriendo, ella no quería tomar ese riesgo, una vez se cayó, así que no quería volver a repetir una escena tan vergonzosa.

Iba girando hacia su derecha en una esquina, una cuadra antes de llegar a su edificio, cuando alguien chocó con ella.

—¡Fíjate por donde…! — No terminó su enunciado cuando descubrió la identidad de la persona con la que había chocado. — ¿Wednesday?

— ¿Enid? — Respondió asombrada.

— Sí, ¿qué haces por aquí? — Se acercaron hasta la pared del edificio para protegerse de la lluvia.

—Salí de mi última clase y recordé que debía pedir un libro, así que iba hacia esa dirección— Wednesday no le incomodaba la lluvia, al contario, es su día perfecto.

—Creo que ya la cerraron… bueno asumiendo que vamos a la misma universidad—Enid nunca la había visto en su campus. Wednesday le dio el nombre de su universidad y Enid afirmó que iban en la misma institución de enseñanza superior.

— Es extraño que nunca nos hayamos encontrado — Enid sabía que su universidad era grande, pero ya llevaba dos años estudiando allí.

—Debe ser por mis horarios, son muy tempranos en la mañana o muy tardes — Wednesday se arregló su flequillo hacia el lado derecho.

— ¿Por tu trabajo? — Enid preguntó suponiendo la respuesta.

— Exacto — Wednesday vio que la lluvia no amainaba, así que tendría que irse rápidamente. — Bueno Enid, supongo que te veré en la universidad o en la cafetería.

—Hay más oportunidades de vernos en la cafetería, amé tu mochaccino — Dijo sinceramente Enid, estaba segura que se había hecho adicta al sabor.

—Es cierto — Hizo una pausa— Nos vemos Enid — Wednesday estaba por ir en dirección hacia su departamento cuando Enid le tocó su hombro derecho.

—¿Te gustaría ir a mi departamento? — Enid le preguntó a la casi perfecta desconocida.

— ¿Estás segura? — La miró confundida.

— Sí, no tienes ninguna vibra de asesina, no cuando haces un mochaccino tan dulce — Enid estaba siendo muy audaz.

— Quizás te equivoques.

—Me arriesgaré, si me encuentran muerta, al menos mi amiga se encargará de decir solo cosas buenas acerca de mí— Enid desvió su mirada hacia adelante, observando la lluvia.

—Enid, todas las personas hablan bien de los muertos, lo extraño sería reconocer sus defectos.

— Tienes razón y…. ¿qué me dices? — Enid la miró expectante para saber su respuesta.

— Está bien— Respondió simple y rápidamente.

— Queda cerca, estaremos en menos de 10 minutos — Enid dio un paso adelante y después hacia su derecha, Wednesday la siguió de cerca y después estaba caminando a su lado, respetando cierta distancia entre ellas.

Subieron rápidamente los tres pisos y Enid invitó a Wednesday a ingresar primero a su departamento.

—Espérame aquí, te traeré algunas toallas. — Enid fue rápidamente a su habitación.

Wednesday permaneció en ese lugar, vio que el departamento tenía algunos muebles y que estaba ordenado.

—Ten— Le pasó dos toallas.

— Gracias — Dejó su mochila en el suelo y se secó su cabello, deshaciendo las trenzas. Enid se quedó por unos instantes mirando, hasta que recordó algo y volvió a su habitación.

 —También te traje estas pantuflas — Eran de color azul oscuro — supongo que tienes los pies mojados.

—Sí— Se sacó sus tenis y se los colocó, eran un par de números más grandes

— Acompáñame al baño para que te cambies.

—No, estoy bien así— Wednesday prefería estar con la ropa mojada que vestirse tan colorida como Enid.

— No te preocupes, tengo ropa adecuada para ti. 

— Si me mientes, ya lo sabes, estarás en las noticias de mañana — Enid se río fuertemente.

Enid le indicó cual era el baño y antes de entrar le pasó un suéter negro y unos pantalones azules. — Estaré en mi cuarto, cambiándome.

Enid se cambió sus ropas lo más rápido que pudo, sin secarse debidamente, quería esperar a Wednesday en la sala de estar. Ella apareció un par de minutos después.

—Te ves bien — Wednesday llevaba su pelo suelto y rizado.

—No seas mentirosa, tus ropas son una o dos tallas más que las mías.

— Me ofendes, no sabes que no debes criticar el cuerpo de la otra persona — Enid se hizo la ofendida.

— Enid yo…

— Lo sé, es porque soy más alta que tú — Enid se sentía tan cómoda conversando con ella que se atrevió a decirle esa pequeña broma.

—Ahora ¿quién critica? —Wednesday se fue a sentar en el sofá donde estaba Enid.

—Bueno, dejando ese tema, supongo que seguirá lloviendo por un par de horas, así que…

— No Enid, no me alojaré esta noche contigo, puedo irme vestida así y me prestarás un paraguas.

—Wednesday, ¿crees que dejaría que un extraño quedarse conmigo?

—Sí me has traído aquí, te creo capaz de todo.

—Buen punto. No, te iba a ofrecer algo para tomar, debes tener frío.

—Siempre tengo frío, eso es independiente de la estación del año, pero sí, me gustaría un expreso.

— Pues verás que esto no es una cafetería, así que déjame prepararte una taza de té.

— Si no tengo otra opción…

—¡Hey! — Enid quería acompañar esa exclamación con un ligero golpe en el brazo, pero eso sería sobrepasarse. Enid se levantó del sofá rumbo a la cocina — Espérame, ya regreso.

Wednesday durante esos momentos fue a buscar su bolso para buscar su celular y sus auriculares, escucharía un podcast de misterio, el programa ya iba en su tercera temporada.

—Listo— Enid le dijo mientras traía dos tazas humeantes —Este es para ti— Le dio una taza con un diseño de flores.

— Gracias— La agarró con sus dos manos. Antes de dar el primer sorbo, inhaló su aroma y sopló.

Enid se sentó sin probar su té, esperando la reacción de Wednesday.

— ¿Te gustó? — Enid también agarró su taza con las dos manos para darles calor.

—Sí y mucho— Wednesday volvió a beber el té.

— Me alegro — Ahora Enid bebía el contenido de su taza. Después del quinto sorbo, Wednesday le preguntó.

— ¿Cuál es el secreto? — Wednesday pudo distinguir dos ingredientes, estaba segura que había un tercero.

—Té negro, canela, jengibre y el otro es secreto de la familia, no puedo revelarlo— Enid le guiñó el ojo derecho.

—Te dije los ingredientes del mochaccino, sería justo que me dijeras todos los ingredientes del té.

— Estabas en tu trabajo, esto es cortesía — Enid le dio un sorbo — Quizás una próxima vez te lo diga.

Wednesday nunca se imaginó que la chica alegre que vio entrar por primera vez en la cafetería hace casi un mes, le daría una taza de té en su departamento, ni siquiera en sus mejores sueños, esta escena había ocurrido.

More Song the Ninjago Fandom is missing out on

Alright folks guess who's back with more songs for you AND a playlist with them!

I've been having fun with this and I love talking about why I associate certain songs with certain characters I love doing it and I really do wish I was able to do animatics myself. But any who here are more songs! (Song-artist)

AS ALWAYS MAJOR SPOILERS

Violet- Marianne Ross: This song is SOOOOO Lloyd thinking about Harumi (I will in fact ignore Crystalized existence again), like it's all about thinking about someone who hurt you deeply and still thinking of them even though they treated you poorly. Lyrics: "When I think of violet I think of you I see you tryin got make is cool" Harumi trying to justify herself to Lloyd. "My mind reminds me of a purple hue, matched the sight of another bruise" Do I have to say more? Like Lloyd clearly cared about Harumi and she emotionally and physically beat the shit outta him

Like a Villain- Bad Omens: This song could totally be used for Morro or Garmadon in my opinion, the song is about someone talking to a person who unknowingly or not pushed them past the edge of no return. Lyrics: "Look into my face then look again we're not the same we're different" For Garmadon this could be a representation of the Great Devourer taking over his mind and transforming him and for Morro this could his transformation from a starry eyes kid to a depressed and evil ghost. "You need a new clean slate with out the dents" This could be either of them addressing Wu cause lets be honest neither of them have an all to peachy relationship with him, Morro especially who saw Wu with this new set of Ninja who are happier than he ever was who Wu treated like family while pretending Morro never existed. "I know that you tried your hardest I know that you meant well but you pushed me to the edge and I slipped and then I fell" For Morro this could totally be Wu's intense training and the way he made Morro believe he'd be the green ninja only for that to be false which kinda drove him crazy, or it could be used for Garmadon on him and Wu's journey in Spinjitzu Brothers to find the tea to heal Garmadon while the journey was supposed to get something to heal Garmadon it ended up just making him feel worse about himself and his place in the world. There's a bunch more awesome lyrics but we'd be here all day if I explained all of them.

Fourth of July- Sufjan Stevens: This one is a teny tiny bit of a reach but hear me out. Zane and his father. So we know that Dr. Julien passes away sometime I believe before season three takes place and it's said he died of natural causes and I'm just saying this could make a pretty decent song since I feel like Zane and Dr. Julien's really sweet father son relationship gets over looked a bit probably since he died so early on and we didn't get to see Zane mourn much afterwards. Lyrics: "And I'm sorry I left but it was for the best" Could totally be used for when Dr. Julien turned off his memory switch and everything. I don't have many particular phrases since the song is almost like a back and forth, but there are a lot of bird references which also works well for Zane.

Icarus-Luvbug: Now this could work for a couple different Ninjago parents since it's mostly about losing a child but I think it would work best with either the FSM feeling bad for what happened to Garmadon (if you want to make him less awful that is cause in cannon his feels about Garmadon are... slightly concerning like sir you're not supposed to hate your own child) Garmadon feeling bad about how Lloyd had to "kill" the child part of himself to lead the ninja, or Maya after Nya merged with the sea and how she wanted to badly to be there for her only for her to end up gone.

Little Lion Man- Mumford & sons: Misako and Lloyd, just trust me okay? Like it's all about someone blaming themselves how someone turned out and in a better world we would have gotten Misako canonically feeling awful for how Lloyd's childhood went due to the fact she decided to dump him gods know where (Darkly's is a boarding school and Lloyd doesn't remember his mother when he meets her so I'm assuming he was probably somewhere else before there?) but instead I'll settle for fan interpretation and I feel like this song would make a great Misako animatic. "But it was not your fault but mine, and it was your heart on the line" and "Now learn from your mother or else spend you days biting your own neck" and "Tremble for yourself, my man, you know that you have seen this all before"

Sorry the list is a little shorter this time but honestly sometimes I don't have full explanations for songs I just have like general vibes, like my excuse is literally just: trust, with little to no explanation. Like:

The Archer- Taylor Swift: Lloyd, Cole or Sora

Don't meet your idols- Everybody's worried about Owen: Jay (cause his bio father was his idol ig?) or Nya (I have no clue man)

Your sister was right- Wilbur Soot: Jay

Punching Bag- The Front Bottoms: Kai

Runs in the Family-Amanda Palmer: Lloyd, Garmadon, Wu, Cole, Sora and honestly just most of them tbh

Friends- Sonic Sea Turtles: Cole, Lloyd, Jay and Garmadon

Idk y'all my brain is actually just one big Lego brick.

When Casperius makes it to the kitchen things take an interesting turn..

When Casperius made it down to the kitchen, Cormoran was leaned back against the counter in front of the large sink while Sioban and Martenique were sitting at the round dark wooden table sipping tea from fine china cups with their heads close together talking low and soft about something.  Both women were smiling and looked relaxed.  He noticed a small, empty plate between them with some crumbs.  It seemed they had at least had a snack while he and Horace had finished their conversation.

The stone floors of the room normally echoed when walked on with hard soled shoes, so he was careful to measure his footfalls to not disturb the two women who were speaking in a language he did not understand.  So, it seemed his cook knew sprite, or maybe they knew a common language.  Martenique having someone she could speak freely within the manor would not be a bad thing.  As he passed behind her, on his way over to his brother, he let his fingers gently dance across Martenique’s back between her shoulder blades, the feel of her soft skin under his calloused fingertips soothing him in a way that not even demon’s brew could.  Her head tipped up to look at him, and he was even more resolute that he would find whoever had put her in danger and they would pay, very painfully.  

 "Continue your talk, Teni, I need to talk to Cor."  Casperius' fingers softly caressed her cheek, as he momentarily paused to bestow an affectionate smile upon her, and receive one in return.  She was so damn precious to him that his heart was still thundering at the thought of losing her to either his brother, or interference of others.

When he turned to continue over to where Cormoran stood, he had to roll his eyes at his brother’s expression.   It wasn't just the smirk, that was a common sight, it was the whole smug ass expression painted from his eyebrows to the set of his strong jaw.  It all spoke to how his brother knew Martenique was someone more than just a body to warm his bed and ride his cock. 

"You know Horace wasn't completely wrong." Cormoran said low once Casperius had assumed a duplicate stance next to him.  "You may not like hearing it, but you haven't acted like a male in a relationship."

Casperius' eyes squeezed shut and he breathed out heavily, a weight settling on him he'd been trying to avoid.  "Teni and I are not intimate." Even as he was keeping his voice low, he had opened his eyes to keep a close watch on her.  Knowing about Emma would destroy her, he was sure, and he had no one to blame but himself.  "I hadn't thought she would be here this fast.  I thought I had time to get things sorted." Another heavy sigh as the weight of his lie and the ones he'd have to tell her in the near future bore down on him further.

“Well, you don’t.  So you had better think osomething very fast, or you are going to have a mess.  A mess is the last thing we need after what happened earlier today.  Not to mention what just happened in the hallway, and figuring out who clued our little brother in on the fact that she exists.” Cormoran’s tone was reproachful.  He was tired and on edge.  While he had gotten some sleep, it had not been enough and he was now on edge after the argument in the hallway.  That Sioban and Martenique were getting along was at least a positive sign.

“I’m well aware.  I’ll have Visalus handle Emma.  He is more than capable of distracting her.” Casperius’ eyebrows rose as his eyes rolled.  That was a nice way of putting it.  It was not that he cared, it had only been carnal between them, and at least this would make it easier in the end.  That was one thing down. “We need to focus on figuring out who would talk to Matty.  Someone did, and that means that everything that we talk about could be getting to him.”

Cormoran scoffed and shook his head.  “You’d better hope so, little brother." Already in his mind he was developing plans to handle the fallout of his brother's mistakes.  Martenique was beautiful and innocent, she did not deserve to be drug into Casperius' debauchery. 

Casperious looked at his brother and rolled his eyes. "I will take care of it. You can trust him. I will let nothing upset Martenique. She has become very important to me." He sighed in frustration and gave Cormoran a pointed look as he continued. "I have had Horus prepare the gardens for her. When have you known us to have gardens upon the estate?"  His eyebrows rose and he waited a couple beats before continuing.  "Never. Do you think I would go through all of this and then let her be upset because of a woman who means nothing? Hmm?" Once more his brows rose as he regarded his elder brother.

Cormorant looked at him, he knew his brother. He knew of his whims and ways. He knew that one woman rarely kept his attention and although Martenique was beautiful, she was not of the kind that his brother normally found to be of interest. She was short, and while she was proportional, she did not have the curves that normally caught his brother's eye. She was not a succubus, an incubus, or a lust demon that had all of the attributes that would drive any male, of any type, to desire her. Her face would be what could be described as sweet. It was not one that would inspire men to fall at her feet with desire. What could be inspiring his brother now to take all of these actions did mystify him. Casperius was normally one to only go after the most beautiful of women. Women who upon the Earth would be considered models or actresses, those who were desired by many. And while Martinique was certainly beautiful, she was neither of those. 

"If you are not careful, you will destroy her. You will not need Matty to come and capture her and fill her head with his manipulations and destruction. You will do it yourself. I am not sure why you have done this. I'm not sure why you have decided such an innocent creature should be brought into our world. But if you do not take care, then I will have to take action." There was a firmness and directness in Cormoran’s voice, a seriousness in his whole demeanor that bled into the ether around him.

He couldn't even tell his brother why he had made such a declaration other than their brother had destroyed too many people to get back at them to allow one more to be destroyed for nothing more than Casperius' whim.

As he looked at the woman sitting there with Sioban talking in some fae tongue that neither he nor Casperius could understand, the joy and the radiance that came off of her was infectious. Just watching the two women talk made him smile but he also remembered the fear on her face when she walked out to see the three of them fighting in the hallway. He remembered having to go rescue her because their brother had shown up in her realm and decided he was going to try and kidnap her. Another victim of being in their lives. 

Cormorant couldn't take another woman being destroyed on his conscience. When Matthias did it was one thing, the Casperius doing it was a completely different one. He could stop that. He could control that. He could save her. Maybe just once he could save one of the ones destined to be destroyed by his family. Maybe he could make her fall in love with him. Maybe he could change her eye from the wayward brother to the strong one. He was just as dirty, his hands had just as much blood on them, and he had written many of the contracts that conspirius enforced. But he was not as capricious, and his desires did not blow in the wind, ever changing with the tides. She would be safe. And she was more his type. She was the type that he could fall in love with. Sitting there watching her talk to the woman that currently occupied his bed, he found he was more drawn to the sprite. It would cause a fight with Caspirius, but it would not be the first one the Cormoran had.

Oc x Canon Week: Day 2

Emlyn Soairse (Merida Twst) x Riddle Roseheart

"Dancing..."

Riddle was a well-known stickler for the rules and enforcing them the T. Whether it was grammar, school, or the Queen's rules, he knew and followed them all, but he still struggled with one set of rules: social gathering rules. Now for events like the Unbirthday Parties and Tea, that he understood, but at a "party", he found himself more flustered than a hatter without a hat.

He was invited to this gathering by his lab partner for enchanted botany, Emlyn, who was one of the transfers from Thatch Academy for Unique Mages. At first, he was nervous about having one of the kids from the delinquent school as a lab partner, but his fears were unfounded, as Lyn was an amazing partner. She was very nice and had a vast knowledge of magical flowers and herbs that the two often discussed while working together, but it wasn't until she caught Ace and Deuce for him that they really started to bond.

Apparently, she looked out for two freshmen in her dorm as well and faced similar issues with them as Riddle did with Ace and Deuce. They started swapping war stories and became very close in a matter of weeks. He learned that she actually use to be a rule breaker, but after an incident that landed her at Thatch, she swore to become a better person and help others away from the delinquent lifestyle.

Riddle had a great respect for her, and soon that respect turned to something else, something deeper than and stranger than any other connection he had. It wasn't until she invited him to a "party" that Ramshackle was holding that he realized he had fallen for the redhead.

Now here he was, gripping a cup of water and a plate of excellent spinach puffs in the kitchen as he watched Ace and Grim compete against Grace and Epel in pictionary. Apparently, this 'party' was their annual game night at Ramshackle. The dorm of 12 each invited a friend to join and they competed in silly games as teams. They pulled pieces of paper out of a hat to decide what game and who was playing. So far, he had witnessed Cyn and Jack competed in a game called twister with Lucif and Kalim, Nora and Deuce beat Ivy and Ortho in a pie-eating contest, and Third year Hank and Trey play VEE-tenis against Rhea and Jade. The group of people was odd, but it was... fun.

He was so out of it that he hadn't realized his team was pulled out of a hat.

"Hey Riddle, can you dance?" Lyn asked as she held up a piece of paper.

"huh? Yes- Kind of." He answered, "Why?"

"We're playing Just Dance," She said with that gap-toothed smile that made his head feel light.

"Just Dance? What's that?" he asked putting down his snacks as the group packed up pictionary.

"It's pretty simple, you just do the moves the screen tells you while holding the remote." Lyn explained and handed him a remote.

"Riddle is dancing?? This is gonna be fun." Ace remarked as his mood instantly shifted from grumbling to eager.

"My bets of Jezie and Floyd!" Lucif called out with a choir of agreements.

Riddle felt his nerves start to gitter as an oyster in a walrus' house. He reverted to his defult: rules police "Betting is against the-"

"The rules of Heartsyble, not the rules of Ramshackle. Your in our house so our rules," Ivy snapped back and Lyn placed a hand on Riddle's shoulder.

"Ignore them, I bet your a great dancer," Lyn smiled and helped Riddle fix the safety strap onto his wrist.

"Thank you," Riddle muttered as his face started to blush at her touch. He had the love bug bad.

"Alright, enough talkin' more dancing! What song we doin' Jezie!" Floyd called out to his eel cousin.

The very tall Jezabelle navigated the game to the random song selection. Riddle watched the screen nervously as a multitude of songs he didn’t know flashed across the screen till it stopped and the song lit up the screen: "I've Had the Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing .

"Oh, I love that movie," Cyn remarks as Jez and Floyd snicker.

Lyn smiled and saw Riddle's nerves in the form of the blushed on his face.

"Let me guess, you haven't seen Dirty Dancing?" Lyn asked.

Riddle shook his head and fiddled with his sleeves.

Lyn tilted her head for a moment before leaning down and whispering something into his ear. In just a few words, Riddle went from a nervous to determined. He nodded to the smiling Lyn and she called over to the eels, "We're ready when you are."

Floyd and Jez smiled as she pressed play. The characters came up on the screen and Lyn helped Riddle get into place and navigate the screen to the male player.

"Just focus and copy him. Don't pay attention to anyone else. We got this." Lyn said with a smile as she stood next to him.

"Ready?" Jez called and the two nodded.

Riddle was still nervous as a late hare, but he was determined to win. He had to win. He couldn't let Lyn down. She had trusted him to be her teammate so he was going to be the best teammate he could be.

The music started and his person appeared on the screen. At first he struggled to follow the moves as the music started, but once he realized it was a pattern, he got the groove of it. He didn't even realize he was starting to have fun!

"Groovy Hearts! Groooovy!" Someone shouted behind him as he smiled and kept dancing. Lyn has at his side, following the girl and smiling as she followed the lady.

Riddle began to block out the noise, all he heard was the lyrics and all he saw was the screen and Lyn. Her red hair bouncing in their ringlets, freckles like stars as she smiled, she was beautiful in Riddle's eyes. As the music died down, he heard some of the comments:

"FLOYD! Your doing the wrong moves!!"

"What are you doing! There Winning!"

"Ehh- I wanna be the girl! Jezzy lift me!!!"

Before he knew it, Floyd and Jezzy were on the floorrustling around trying to get up.

That is when he realized they were winning. "Come on Rids! We got this!" Lyn commented, a slight accent slipping that she often covered.

Finally, the came to the final pose, he held hands with Lyn, and then the two shuffled back. They were done. On the screen the coupled did an impossible lift, but in the living room of Ramschackle, Lyn ran up to Riddle and captured him in a tight bear hug.

"We Won!!" Lyn cheered.

"W-we did.. WE DID!" Riddle hugged her back. He was smiling and laughing and didn't realize what he was doing till Lyn kissed his cheek.

"Told you we could do it!" She cheered as the group chatted, congratulating the two.

But Riddle didn't hear anything... all he heard was Lyn's whisper as he stood in shock:

"Just follow the rules and you'll be okay. And If we win this, we can watch the movie together, just the two of us. As a date... so dance with me."

‘What I want them to write on my grave’ – Teni

Nigerian singer, Teniola Apata, popularly known as Teni, has revealed the epitaph she wants on her grave. The 30-year-old said she wants her loved ones to write: “She lived life on her own terms”. She disclosed this when she featured as a guest in the latest episode of the Tea With Tay podcast hosted by actor, Temisan Emmanuel Ahwieh, aka Taymesan. Teni said, “My father died when I was two years old. If you die today, life goes on. You don’t get to express yourself. “Expressing yourself is very important. The people that judge you, they will die too. So, they would die with their own stories. You die with your own story. I’m living my life because this is my terms to let the world know who I am. “It’s my terms to sing when I’m feeling down, when I’m feeling up. It’s my terms to express myself. I’m not going to be here forever. None of us are leaving this world alive. “On my grave, I want them to write, ‘She lived life on her own terms.’ Yes, I want to die happy. I’m going to die empty. “A lot of people are carrying so much greatness in them but are too afraid to express themselves. Trust me, the graveyard is full of so many dreams and talents. Things that could have changed the world.” Read the full article

Ireland went from sending single mothers to be sent to work for Catholic run laundries to this in an amazingly short amount of time.

ByGenevieve Gluck

July 17, 2023

Ireland’s leading trans lobby group will be participating in an event aimed at “supporting children and young people with transgender identities.” The discussion will be led by Tara Hewitt, the CEO of the Trans Equality Network Ireland (TENI) and a self-professed BDSM fetishist. Hewitt has ties to a trans activist organization that has called for the release of all trans-identified prisoners regardless of conviction.

The event, titled “TENI & Tea,” is scheduled to take place on July 19 and is being supported by the Donegal County Council. It was organized by Bród na Gaeltachta as part of a “community-organized Pride festival” held in July, and is categorized as a “health class” on Eventbrite. According to the registration page, the discussion, led by Hewitt, will “provide up to date information, knowledge and allow for discussion on how best to support trans and non-binary young people.”

Though the Q&A session involves advice regarding the bodies of children, Hewitt has a disturbing history of pressuring health authorities to ignore safeguarding measures.

In his previous role as the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Lead at the Northern Care Alliance NHS Group, Hewitt requested that medical personnel ignore a guidance put forward by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) preserving single-sex spaces for women receiving health services.

In April of 2022, the EHRC issued a new guidance assuring that it was lawful to exclude men from women-only spaces, provided the reasoning is “legitimate and proportionate.” The statement was a reassertion of the law, which was being questioned due to misrepresentation by trans activists and lobbying organizations such as Stonewall.

Hewitt promptly condemned the ruling as “transphobic” and urged his colleagues within the NHS to ignore its guidance. 

“This guidance is highly likely to be found unlawful at Judicial review & is incredibly transphobic … When will attacks on trans people end in UK? I urge my equality professional colleagues to give this guidance the credibility it deserves by putting it in bin & continue as usual,” Hewitt said.

With his statement, Hewitt deliberately ignored a widely-publicized incident that had occurred one month prior wherein a woman who had been raped in a single-sex hospital ward by a trans-identified male was told her assailant was a “woman.”

While serving in a role that saw him advising NHS Trusts across the UK and giving lectures to health care students, Hewitt stated in a March 2019 tweet that “trans women’s bodies are not male bodies.”

Hewitt has been politically active in both Labour and, more recently, the Conservative Party, for which he stood as a councilor. During his campaign it emerged that he had an interest in BDSM and dressing up as an animal during sex, euphemistically referred to as “furrydom.”

He is also known for openly having discussed the acceptance of men with sexual fetishes at events focused on healthcare.

During a 2016 presentation for the LGBT Cancer Support Alliance, Hewitt spoke about men who cross-dress for sexual pleasure, and clarified that men who wear women’s underwear to satisfy a fetish are included under the trans umbrella.

Speaking to a room filled with women, Hewitt claimed: “You’ve got people that fetishistically cross-dress and wear clothing to get a sexual desire out of the clothing of the opposite gender. It generally tends to be associated with men wearing women’s underwear.”

At the same presentation, Hewitt revealed that he had also worked with Action for Trans Health, an organization which published a manifesto demanding the immediate release of all trans criminals from prison.

“We demand that trans people are immediately freed from police, military, and government contracts without repercussions. We reject the system of blackmail that corporations and governments engage in, whereby trans people who can work are ‘rewarded’ with slightly less mistreatment in exchange for the exploitation of our labor,” read the document.

The manifesto, which has since been deleted, was published on Tumblr in 2018 and also demanded tax-payer funded access to all forms of plastic surgery and body modification without any questions asked by medical professionals.

“We demand the freedom to alter our bodies without justification. We demand an end to all surgical prerequisites — nobody should have to prove life experience, health, or have to be taking hormones in order to exercise bodily autonomy,” Action for Trans Health stated.

“We demand that these surgeries can be highly customized to meet our individual and unique needs. We demand the right to multiple surgeries, including reversal of previous surgeries if desired, so that we do not have to fear regret.”

Speaking with Reduxx on the event, local women’s rights campaigner Jennifer Kimmel slammed Bród na Gaeltachta and TENI for targeting minors and “vilifying” concerned parents.

“Any person or group with good intentions does not vilify parents, purposely mislead the public nor regard themselves as above reproach. These are clear red flags,” Kimmel said.

“When it comes to child safeguarding, everyone and every group is accountable, whether they cloak themselves in a ‘progress flag’ or not. Parents seeking to protect children from harmful ideologies need community support every bit as much as anyone else.”
