hey, not to bother you or anything but I really enjoy your stuff! do you know when you'll be posting again??? hope you're alright

Hello!

Um, tbh it's sort of the same things as always. Busy and lack motivation. I work full time and am moving across the country soon so I've just had other things on my mind. However, I was in blender not to long ago so hopefully novelty will be back soon!

I'm glad you enjoy anything I post! I hardly think anyone besides friends care about my posts so it's nice to know others out there like them too! I miss being creative and actually have other projects and stuff in mind so I'll be sure to keep you all posted!

Have a great day 💕💕

Ayla: *chocked up* Why did you release the book then? Isn’t this what you wanted? To destroy my life and embarrass me? Break up my marriage?

Lilith chuckles.  As if she cared about any of those things. 

Lilith: That would have happened without me, darling. This was for me, get it off my chest.  Me telling you personally is something a person wanting to fix things does. I want this shit over with.

Lilith stands, knowing that sitting down was the wrong decision. She faces Ayla, now silent. 

Lilith: *sarcastic* I think you need more therapy, this spoiled rich kid entitlement thing is getting old. Find me if you ever really want to talk.

Lilith turns and leaves. Ayla, at a loss of words slumps back in the chair. That couldn’t have gone any worse. A server approaches a few moments later.

Server: No rush, but we are closing soon. Can I get anything for you before we close the kitchen and bar.

Ayla struggles to find any words to say.

Server: I’ll just leave you for a few moments and come back. 

Ayla simply nods and the server walks off.  Ayla puts her head down, holding back sobs. She wasn’t really like her parents, right?

Ayla: What do you mean? I’m bein-

Lilith: The crying and pretending like you heard anything I just said so you can get to the part where we’re supposed to make up. *smugly* I bet you’ve been practicing this all morning.

Ayla: T-that’s not true! I just know that all that’s happening I deserve. I just want to make things ri-

Lilith: Make things right? For who? For Hugh and I? The guys? Or for yourself?

Ayla (begging): Lilith, please, I’m being serious! Hear me out!

Ayla: Thank you.  I just wanted to start by saying I didn’t expect you be sorry.  I am sorry though. I knew how you felt and I just was so selfish. I don’t know why-

Lilith interrupts.

Lilith: It’s not just that, though. I had only known Hugh for a few minutes, I felt some type of way about you still pursuing him, of course. But what hurt the most was knowing the one person in this world who wasn’t related to me and actually cared, didn’t. 

Ayla (shocked): Wait… So this whole thing was just revenge? You hanging out with Hugh and the band, the sly flirting, all of it, was just a game to you? Just to get back at me?

Ayla sits in the back of the patio section of the bistro, waiting for Lilith to arrive. She wasn’t entirely sure Lilith was even coming but she still felt nervous for the coming moments, rehearsing exactly what she wanted to say. Lilith always had a way of jumbling your inner thoughts.  

Ayla looks up and there Lilith was, right in front of her, looking as agitated as ever . 

Ayla (nervous): Lilith! Yo-you came!

Lilith (annoyed): I said I would. It’s only three minutes past nine. How long have you been sitting here? 

Ayla: About an hour...

Lilith sighs.  She didn’t see the point in this. She was well aware Ayla had probably been sitting here thinking of what to say to make herself seem apologetic but still the sad hopeless girl she liked to pretend to be.  

Lilith: Listen, I’m just here to say I’m not sorry.  Not one bit.  And I can’t even say I regret it, If anything, I regret ever saying anything about him to you that day-

Ayla (sad): Please, sit. I know you may not see the point in all this but I really want to have a honest conversation with you.

Lilith sighs again, contemplating what taking a seat would lead to. Nothing good, she was sure. She takes a seat anyway.

Isaiah heads inside the families living room, hoping his younger brother would catch the hint that he wasn’t keen on the conversation and would rather speak rationally about the whole thing.  

Isaiah: I’m not. His being an asshole at times might be annoying to us, but it’s not enough reason to have him removed. Especially when you’re the only one making this request.

Elijah: Annoying? That’s a nice way to put it, real kind.  I wish you’d afford me such lenience.

Isaiah: Don’t start, the things you’d do we’re beyond just being a asshole, they were dange-

a few things to keep in mind as you talk about the current situation with roe v wade:

  1. women are not the only people who can get pregnant, and therefore are not the only people who get abortions or the only people affected by restrictions to abortion access — sincerely, a man with a uterus
  2. the recent legislation against trans people transitioning, particularly as it relates to trans men and transmasc people, has been justified by the politicians supporting it using the argument that transitioning jeopardizes our reproductive potential, which they see as more important than our actual lives. if you support the legislation against us or have been silent about it, you cannot claim to be fighting for reproductive rights. you don’t get to only care about it when it affects you — if you let them get away with that rhetoric against trans people, you give them the power to use it against you. if you can’t stand in solidarity with us, you will end up standing against yourself

please don’t forget us in these conversations, and don’t be silent about the attacks on our bodily autonomy

all of this is connected — criminalizing transition, overturning roe v wade, it’s all working toward the same goal. if you care about one part of it, you have to care about all of it, or any efforts against it will fail

if you don’t care enough about us to fight our oppression for our sake, do it because you cannot fight against your own oppression without fighting ours too

Just to add to this point, Justice Clarence Thomas stated in his concurrence with today's decision " ...we should reconsider all of this Court's substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell."

Those are decisions that prevent states from banning contraception, LGBTQIA+ sex, and same sex marriage. These decisions are very calculated and not only for the oppression of childbearing people, but also the LGBTQIA+ community.

Elijah walks up to his brother, clearly antsy to talk.  

Elijah:  Hey, how are you and the girls? Toni doing alright?

Isaiah: We’re all great, the band hiatus has been good for the family. But of course, you could have asked that over the phone as you usually do. 

Elijah: (jokingly) What? I can’t just come see my big brother and his family anymore?

Isaiah: You can, but you only show up unannounced when something is wrong. I’m guessing you read Lilith’s book.

Elijah’s half smile drops. 

Elijah: Have you?
