dive bars usually are.  the pool tables make up for it though.   [ the woman slips off her coat and places it on the stool beside her before taking a seat.  she makes herself comfortable and dark eyes scan the bottles behind the bar.  finally,  she looks back to the other woman. ]    i’ll take a jack and coke.  what do you have for food?  

@greengoree,
             ⠀⠀⠀⠀ it must be a pretty small building if there isn’t enough space for a kitchen.  (..)  well, do you wanna order some food or a drink?

because the place that i run doesn’t.  then again,  there’s not enough space for a kitchen anyways.  

also, a direct quote from the cheeto himself:  “i could kill somebody on (street name) and i wouldn’t lose any voters, it’s crazy.”  the sad fact of it is that he’s fucking RIGHT. his voters are absolutely brain-washed and lack critical thinking skills, it’s fucking insane. (i’m not even surprised though, the united states does not have the best education.)

to those who mourned charlie kirk, but do not mourn renée nicole good and instead choose to blame her—- you are a piece of fucking shit that not even a dog would eat.
            
            charlie kirk spewed hateful things, and did not care about gun violence. i believe it is a direct quote where he said, “sometimes it is necessary for them to happen.” do y’all know what some of renée nicole good’s last words were, ON VIDEO? “it’s okay, i’m not mad at you.”
            
            you choose to make a token out of charlie kirk, and you villainize the woman for having a HUMAN REACTION to flee where there were masked men with weapons that were trying to force her out of her car.

portland, oregon.
            
            luis david nico moncada and yorlenys betzabeth zambrano-contreras were both shot. federal agents believed they were part of both a venezuelan prostitution ring and a recent shooting that happened in portland. the x post that i will attach to this states that it was a defensive shot, as the couple (allegedly) tried to run them over and ‘fired a defensive shot.’
            
            according to multiple news articles, that federal agent— just like jonathan ross— actually fired three shots. is that what we consider defensive? the federal agent shot the driver (luis) two times in the arm, and the passenger (yorlenys) in the fucking CHEST. thankfully, luis and yorlenys were able to flee and make it 2.5 miles away. however, they were not able to call the police and someone had to FIND THEM for them to get medical help.
            
            as far as city counsel president elana pirtle-guiney knows, luis and yorlenys are still alive.

@lostinluck,
             ⠀⠀⠀⠀ he’s very cute, but you’ll have to take him to the vet if you want to keep him. you’ll also need to get him registered as a service animal if you’d like to bring him in here again, given we sell food here and animals aren’t allowed in restaurants.  [despite her words, edena reaches out her hand to scratch the top of the still very loudly purring cat’s head.]  are you going to keep him?

     i’m sure she will visit you at some point.  and you gotta stop giving her free stuff—-  don’t let her fool you.   [ a short deep chuckle slips past his lips as he shakes his head briefly.  he would know better than anyone.  from his side of the bar,  he watches her like she’s something fragile pretending not to be—-  forearms braced against the wood,  mouth tight,  eyes too honest for someone who’s trying to play it casual.  for a second,  he just stares at it resting in her palm.  not jewelry—-  trust.  he reaches out slowly,  like he’s afraid she’ll change her mind,  and closes his fingers around it.  the metal is cool,  solid.  r͟e͟a͟l͟.  his thumb rubs over it once before he curls his hand into a fist,  anchoring himself to the weight.  his eyes remove from the ring and lock onto hers. ]   i will.  promise.    [ he slips it into the pocket on the inside of his coat,  safe and secure—-  just near where his heart would be. ]    when we get back,  i want to take you somewhere.   anywhere you want.  

@dearprey,
             ⠀⠀⠀ [edena’s lips press into a thin line, moving to lean against the wooden bar that separates them with her forearms pressing into it. she doesn’t like to see him go, but it won’t be long.. she hopes.]  well, suki knows where i work if she ever gets lonely and needs entertainment.  [she picks at her nails and bites at her lip. she thinks on it for a long moment before she takes off her favorite ring and holds it out to him—- a promise ring of sorts, just not the usual promise that comes with one.]  take it, and return it to me when you’re home. okay?

just for a few days.  jules and i need to take a business trip up north.   suki is staying home.   [ he informs as if it’s just another normal day.  he hides it well and he knows it—-  with her,  he h͟a͟s͟ to.  his shoulder give a small shrug before he speaks. ]   probably around noon.  i meant to text you,  but i wanted to ask you in person.  it just felt right.  

@eadimidium,
             ⠀⠀⠀ what am i trying these dresses on for, anyway? you haven’t told me yet.  [she takes the dress from the other and goes into the dressing room to give it a proper chance. oh, the things she’ll do for julia o’brien.]

@eadimidium,
             ⠀⠀⠀ depends on the chocolate, but usually. why do you ask?

@eadimidium,
             ⠀⠀⠀ i’m dropping off a late christmas present. it didn’t get delivered until last night, so i figured i’d just come drop it off now.
