Proceeds are donated to the UNRWA, which is one of the major funding agencies providing aid to Palestine. Recently, the US and other major countries have escalated genocidal efforts by cutting funding from the UNRWA, as AlJazzera reports : Which countries have cut funding to the UNRWA and why?

This is a direct action you can take to say fuck you to the government directed genocidal efforts, bookmark the tab, add a calendar notification daily, do what you want. Or if your prefer: Donate Directly to UNRWA

I feel bad that future teens won't have the cw everyone needs to get unnaturally obsessed with an Objectively Bad teen soap with mid level production and the worst dialogue you've ever heard (you write 100k worth of fanfic for this and argue about the show on tumblr dot com)

I had to look this up; the kid's name is Olly Pearson, and he's from Wales! He is 11 (!) years old and was on Britain's Got Talent this year. (He finished fourth.) He's on YouTube as Guitar Olly.

The lead singer is Mickey Callisto (he took his stage last name from one of the moons of Jupiter), who was also on BGT. (He made it to the semi-finals.) He's from Sunderland in the UK.

The trio in the window are DDKN, a group from France. I can't add fun facts here because duckduckgo gave me nothing. Rude honestly.

The flashmob video on youtube is mostly the same as the tiktok but it's still fun to watch bigger.

And now you know. the rest. of the story.

Hi author, sorry to be so presumptuous as to write to you, I've been a reader of your works on VegasPete since their publication... I love "Fava Beans and Chianti" to bits and I just wanted to ask you if this fantastic story of yours (I love detective/thriller) will have any updates... I hope so with all my heart!!! Thanks for your work!!

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply. And thank you so much for being patient. I have it outlined and some drafts done. I do plan on finishing it. Not to get too personal but uni got busy and then I had to get eye operations :/

But I do plan on finishing it as it is one of the favorite stories I have written. It’s not a usual genre I write in and it started off silly but I really wanted to explore it.

Anyways, thank you for reading and enjoying. I didn’t think people were still thinking about.

What I can’t get over is Phil going back into the closet and waiting patiently. I think there is so much pressure, even in the queer community to be out and proud. And it became this thing where even the people who were unable to come out for whatever reason just felt like they were unworthy of happiness or a relationship. When I go on social media, I see out queer people complain about their relationships with (typically bisexual) queer people who were closeted and how you should never date a closeted person. Even before I first started dating my partner, who was closeted to friends and family, they told me it’s not fair to put a person through that and they would never date anyone until they were out. And I remember asking not fair to who? Because who was it not fair to? I told them it was unfair for them to have this pressure put on them to be out and people should be more understanding of different experiences with their queer identity. When we started dating, they were still closeted and I remember hearing all of these apologies. Sometimes my hand would be dropped when we were walking. Sometimes we would have to sit 5 feet apart. We would avoid certain areas. And you know what?

It didn’t matter to me. Their experience was different than mine (I was out for several years) but it didn’t make it less than. I remember being told by others both in the community and out that dating a closeted person was harder and eventually they would need to be out and it wasn’t sustainable. That never made sense to me. The foundation of our relationship was love. I knew that. That was always the most important thing to me. So no, I didn’t listen to any of the warnings from anyone. Yes, I stayed with this person. Yes, we are still together.

And watching that video with Dan and Phil, it reminded me of the apologies and thank yous I would get even when it was not at all necessary or mandatory. But even then, not to say I needed it, but with a lot of people telling me it would be hard to date a closeted person, I never got one person telling me I was in the right. That my decision was good. It was very much an are you sure about that, oh well, good luck.

But Phil? It felt like the first person telling that my decision was good. Not to get parasocial, but it made me feel acknowledged in the fact that I didn’t do anything. All I did was love a person and wait and that was worth it.

I think there is still a lot of pressure to come out. And people are still warning against dating queer people who are closeted. And I’m not saying it’s easy, or hard, or anything really. I’m not putting myself or Phil on a pedestal for doing this. I am just happy that there exists a video and a mainstream couple who were happy despite being in the closet and despite everything they went through. That them being in the closet didn’t mean they were anything less than. That Dan doesn’t have to apologize for taking his time.

I hope that other people that are in the closet and see all this negativity know that they it’s okay. It is okay. You aren’t tiring. You aren’t a disappointment. Your queer journey might be different than others but it sure as hell not less than.

tldr: people in the closet deserve to be loved and are valid. Dan and Phil are an example of how a relationship can work despite it

could you give a tutorial for the barbed wire stitching please? ^_^

Sure! I've never done a tutorial before, so I'm sorry if this is a little confusing 💀

The whole design is made of simple straight stitches, so it's pretty easy :)

1. Make a diagonal stitch, then make another one in the opposite direction to create an 'X', that is wider toward the end.

2. Make two more diagonal stitches to create another X attached to the end of the first one.

3. Make two more diagonal stitches that face outward, creating the 'barbs'

3. Create straight horizontal stitches between the barbs, I'd say about 3-5, depending on how far apart you make the stitches.

4. Create two diagonal stitches facing outward again, facing the opposite direction of the first two barbs, closing off the first shape.

5. Create another X between the barbs, and repeat the process again until you reach the end of whatever you're embroidering :)

I would suggest making the X's a bit longer and narrower than I did here, because I think it looks a bit better that way, but honestly it doesn't matter all that much :)
