@knowseverythingaboutyou ( thread moved for beta )
Maria’s ashamed to admit how easy it was to ignore the bite on her side. until it wasn’t. there are a lot of things that she hates about being at the Capitol, and having to deal with senators is just one of them.
having to rescue them, on the other hand, well. that’s valuable capital and favours that Maria doesn’t want to give up, even if the day to day really does drive her crazy. it’s less surprising than it should be that Organa is the senator who grabs her when she nearly goes down. she’s heard stories about Bail and Breha and it’s not a shock their daughter takes after them.
“hey, no—” she’s been trained to never let anyone take her weapon, and giving it up to someone who’s not trained in the face of... chompy monsters makes Maria’s head hurt. worse than the actual injury she’s got, but between the two of them she doesn’t really have the wherewithal to take it back. god, she hopes Leia won’t shoot her by accident.
“ah, fuck.” sitting down is worse than walking, and Maria hisses when Leia tries to get a look at it. “I’ll be fine. just — go check in the bottom desk drawer.” she’s been badgering the staff to leave the first aid kits in the same place in every office in case of an emergency like this. hopefully they actually listened to her. “of course a politician would be the one to hurt me.” a bit of an exaggeration, but if she hadn’t pulled Mr. Oregon out of the way, he’d have been the one with the wound on his side.
“I’ll take care of checking it out, you watch the door.”

her parents & the community that had raised & ultimately shaped her might be pacifists, but she remembers the wise words Mon Mothma had once spoken in that ultimately, there came a point in which refusing to stop violence could no longer be called non-violence. at some point, it only made one a bystander in the carnage & she supposes that days like today are the sorts of times the older senator had been thinking of.
maybe she's just fishing for justifications as to why the gun had found its way into her hands & she didn't quite feel like giving it back just yet. time would tell.
she does as she's told, though - getting to her feet quickly & rifling through the drawer until she found exactly what she was looking for. the kit was even fully stocked, which felt like a miracle given no one could have possibly considered they'd have to crack it open for something like this. ' you've clearly never sat in on one of our more spirited votes if this surprises you, ' the brunette offers with a small smirk, turning the kit over with a flourish.
' the only way they're getting through that door is if they brought a battering ram. ' or explosives - she's not naive enough to think it couldn't happen, but there haven't been any tell-tale indicators those have made it into play so she feels relatively confidant about the odds of her statement holding for the time being. ' how bad is it? ' Leia isn't wholly sure if she means the wound, or the scene outside, but either answer would help her plan out the next few steps.

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.
Tumblr media
Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)

🇵🇸 From BDS - What to Boycott:
Fruits, vegetables and wines from Israel are often wrongly labelled as “Produce in Israel” when they come from stolen Palestinian land. Boycott all produce from Israel in your supermarket and demand they are removed from shelves.
thank you @leandra-winchester for making the graphic above! if any of you are active on other social platforms, you have her permission to use the image however you want (no credit required)
keep in mind, though, that this isn't a complete list: you should still check the origin labels on other types of fruit and veggies, and see if any local orgs have produced a more complete breakdown of israeli produce that's specific to your country

@ofangelicblood - moved for beta
Having Jonathan close like this was comforting and it was something that he was going to miss once he returned to New York. Even though it was a direct flight back to London it wouldn't be the same. And even if they were able to spend time together it wouldn't be anything like this and he knew he was going to miss it. Never did he think when he came here that this would happen, that he would find someone to fill a hole in his life that he had been ignoring. Work was easy and it allowed him to ignore the pain. Until something happened that forced him to see he really wasn't good. Now, though, Jace was fine, he was ready to return to work. Except for the fact he was going to miss Jonathan terribly. And he could tell that Jonathan was going to miss him, too. Neither of them expected this and ignoring it for just a little while was better than constantly thinking about the fact he would be on a cross Atlantic flight and missing him the whole damn time. "Then we'll pretend this is just another morning," he muttered, reluctantly allowing Jonathan to return to their breakfast. Mornings were his favourite time because they could just enjoy being together while they were making food. Dinner was the same, and that, too, was something he was going to miss. But this was always going to come to an end and he just wished there was another way that didn't involve returning to New York. "I like that idea even more so. Who needs work when we can just spend that time together forgetting about the world."
Tumblr media
it was going to be an adjustment, not having the other around during the day. he'd grown SO ACCUSTOMED to the other shadowing him in the kitchen or accompanying him on errands that his absence would be immediately & wholly noticed. he's not looking forward to it. ' just another morning sounds perfect, ' the blond mutters, expertly moving everything off the stove so he can transfer it to plates. the drinks themselves are exactly what he needs, even if he'll be nursing a buzz when he finally sits down to pour over the countless edits he'll have to do on Jace's departure. ' remind me - what time do you have to be at the airport? '

continually awed by how american states function like separate countries
I held back on getting my gender changed in the state of Georgia because it required filing a court case and appearing before a judge to prove that I had transitioned enough to warrant calling myself male on my documents. there was a strong possibility they could deny me because I hadn't undergone any type of surgery (a requirement under Georgia law that is waived only sometimes), despite passing as male 100% of the time.
this morning I went to the Maryland vehicle administration building and they had a touch screen with buttons that said "male" and "female."
I paused and asked the lady "I can choose male, right?" and she looked at me (again, I'm just some guy with a beard) (and I think she misheard me) and she was like "Oh! Do you want to be female now?" I said no, my Georgia license (directly in front of her) says female, they wouldn't let me change it, can I be male now?
she said to just pick whichever I wanted. I got my updated license in 5 minutes.
