I feel like Israel has managed to, in 75 years, become so successful...
Jews wanted to show the world their worth after being so badly dehumanized and oppressed, made a remarkable home for themselves:
Third leading country for startups worldwide according to statistica (right behind the USA and the UK), and the only country with a population of less than 10 million in the top 10 Countries by Total Startup Output in 2023, according to startupblink
Just... A whole powerhouse of innovation, a strong country established in less than a century.
And now, its so well established, that people can point fingers at jews fully believing they're colonialists and oppressors. They ditched the victim mentality and nobody remembers...
That my grandparents were holocaust survivors, who kept expired food in their homes and couldn't throw it away because food was precious to them and they refused.
That my parents couldn't afford a catering for their wedding in a simple synagogue, because their grandparents were murdered and their homes seized by polish families, their families didn't have a dime to their names
That my friend's grandparents from Yemen built their own tin hut to live in, in a new refugee camp with many other Yemen jews. Their home doesn't look like that anymore.
That my sister in law's parents escaped here from southern Russia, unable to find work as they couldn't speak the language, had to build their way up from the simplest jobs although they used to be a lawyer and a doctor, because they would rather scrap by here than die there.
But they also forget that Israel was a democracy from the very start.
Meanwhile, islamophobs are incapable of seeing palestinians as anything other than poor victims who can't stand on their own two feet. They can! Like in any nation, there are smart and resourcefull Palestinians, successful and kind people who would, if given a chance, thrive and build and innovate, run a democratic government and work for their own wellbeing.
The fact that Gaza is the way it is, is because of Hamas. Israel pulled out years ago, and yes, there are military clashes every few years which leave Gaza in shambles. Do you think Palestinians don't know this? Do you think they can't foresee the damage that conflict will cause? But they CAN'T speak up. Hamas is LITERALLY a terrorist organization which WILL murder its opposition, no matter their ethnicity.
Hamas is one of the claws of Iran. Its leaders all remain safely in their villas abroad, fanning themselves with their riches while Palestinians are used as human shields. Iran is fighting the west right now, not specifically Israel, but it focuses on Israel as an ally of the west. This is also why Hamas is standing with Russia now. They're all opponents of the western nations, and will join forces as they see fit.
I know that people believe Hamas speaks for and defends Palestinians, because Hamas is made of Palestinians who are exercising violent Jihad, but that is an idea promoted by those with personal interest in the bloodshed (those who fund Hamas weaponry, take your guess at who that is) and NOT a good representative of palestinian people as a whole, who don't want to keep being hindered by all the violence.
A lot of innocents are dying from the bombings, which is why the idf decided to enter by ground, meaning it will have better access to the tunnels Hamas hides in, find the hostages, and will be able to attack more precisely without causing collateral damage. This is better than what was before. Additionally, Israel is still under rocket fire consistently, which the idf needs to disable before pulling out.
If the idf did pulls out right now before upperhanding hamas, then Israel will just sit there under rocket fire. Worse still, a lot of Palestinians died for no reason, only for those remaining to still live under the reign of Hamas, waiting for the next conflict to occur and unable to regain their footing. These are talented and clever people who deserve peace. Deserve a real democracy.
And well... I know a large amount of pro-palestinians demand Israel is destroyed entirely, say that all Jews must evacuate the land, "from the river to the sea" but honestly... That IS ethnic cleansing saying "this person is the wrong ethnicity to live here", not something acceptable to say under any circumstances (would you tell an asian american to "go back to where you came from" because they're not white or indigenous? keep your head straight, don't walk so far into the left wing that you end up on the right wing, people should be able to live where they feel their home is regardless of their birth circumstances)
This said, even if Israel was wiped out, Hamas would still be an issue. Iran is still too far involved. People with money and guns stealing precious resources from the rest of the population will not stop.
The solution must be two-state, with governments who actively work to maintain peace and care for their people. Demanding less of palestinians is betraying them, don't try and paint the picture that they're unable to make a peaceful life for themselves because their grandparents were driven out of land 75 years ago, and that "all they're capable of doing is violence".

My bad habits lead to you pt. 2
MASTERLIST
Sequel to We lie awake in love and fear
From a prompt by @lilacmermaid25:
5 times Ted returns from Kansas for a wedding, one time he returns 'just because'.
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Nate and Jade - April 2024
Nate had insisted on a small, intimate wedding with only their closest friends and family. They decided on the registry office on Wandsworth high street followed by a reception at Le Gothique. Jade's family had travelled from Poland for the occasion and everyone was in high spirits. Rebecca was grateful to be able to get ready in her own home. She'd opened the house up to the Higgins', Trent, Beard, Jane and baby Teddy, Roy and Keeley to meet up for brunch before making the journey into South London. Ted was booked in at Mae’s b&b and was also planning to join them and she'd extended the invitation to any of the team and staff. She’d arranged catering from the little bakery in paved court - bagels, smoked salmon, pastries, fruit platters. She made bucks fizz and alperol spritz en mass, happily pottering around in a simple spring dress. Her dress for the wedding itself hung on the back of the bathroom door, but everyone else had arrived dressed up and ready to go. It was mornings like this which had her questioning how she'd allowed Rupert to ever turn her into such a cold, anti social, heartless woman. She hadn't been like that before him, and she was definitely glad to be rid of those traits now she was rid of him. From the depths of the fridge (looking for avocados), she heard a happy cheer go up in her sitting room. Ted. She guessed with a happy smile. As nice as he was,  Matt didn't invoke that reaction from any of the group. 
"Hey Rebecca! What did the mayo say when you opened the fridge?"
"Close the door, I'm dressing." Came the distant reply. 
"God, I wish you were."
"That's not the punchline, Ted." She emerged successfully. 
"You're never the punchline, beautiful."
"You should stop flirting."
"Why, your boyfriend around?"
"Not today, he's in Amsterdam for a few days."
"Well then consider me flirtin' with you for the rest of the day then. Maybe tomorrow as well. Actually, heck just whenever we're alone. And sometimes when we're not."
"At this rate Ted you'll be flirting 24/7."
"How 'bout a blanket 'whenever I'm in the UK'?" She shook her head, throwing an indulgent smile his way. 
"It's lovely to see you. You're looking very handsome." She moved away from the fridge to step into his arms. He held her tightly.
"You look gorgeous."
"Thank you. I'm just going to have a snuggle with baby Teddy and then I'm going to get changed for the wedding."
"I'm sure there's a dirty joke there but I'm not gonna take the bait."
"Wise move, Lasso."
"Ohh. You last naming me now?"
"I seem to recall you doing the same thing a couple of times."
"Slightly different circumstances."
"Just very slightly." She said with a knowing grin, leaving him to pick some brunch. When he joined her a few minutes later with a plate, he perched on the arm of the sofa next to Leslie. Rebecca had squeezed in next to Keeley to cuddle Teddy. 
3 months old and all cheeks, he was a calm and placid baby. It had been the hardest task, welcoming a baby into her life. She hadn't been close to a baby since Nora, she met Phoebe, Henry and Jelka as precocious pre-teens. She'd had the occasional coffee with Bex, who usually brought Diane, but Teddy was the first baby. Babies were harder for her, she'd realised quite quickly. The smell and weight of them in her arms had moved her more than she expected. She'd cut her first visit short, unable to maintain her facade for long. She'd spent many late nights on the phone to Ted, taking a while to open up about the full reason for the calls but once she'd come clean he'd spend hours helping her unpick how she felt and things she should do to open up a corner of her heart for Teddy. She hadn't considered how freeing it would be to let him in on her hardest secret. How much it would help. He watched her so intently as she balanced little Teddy on her knees, giving him wide smiles and making patterns in the air with her fingers for him to marvel at. He knew how she struggled with missing out on having a baby of her own, but he was also mesmerised with the way she managed those feelings and allowed herself to love her friends children. 
"We should think about getting over to Wandsworth." Leslie said, checking his watch. 
"I need to change, and Ted needs to meet Teddy." Rebecca shared a look with Jane who seemed quite happy to have the use of both of her hands for a change and nodded for Rebecca to pass Teddy to his uncle Ted. Rebecca moved away quite quickly, she knew she couldn't avoid it forever but she also wasn't ready to see Ted holding a tiny baby. He watched her hurry upstairs, desperate to follow and check in with her, but equally desperate to love his new nephew-of-sorts. In the scrimmage of getting coats, shoes, finishing drinks etc, Teddy took the time to initiate his uncle Teddy by spitting up on the shoulder of his shirt. Ted gratefully let Keeley clean it up as much as she could, thankfully his suit jacket hid the worst of it. 
"I'll go see if Rebecca is ready to go." He volunteered, handing Teddy over to Beard. He took the stairs two at a time, reminded of the layout from his previous visit. The room he'd stayed in had been decorated with rainbow colours he noted on his way past. Jelka, he reasoned. They didn't talk much about Matt and Jelka, preferring to exist in a bubble which consisted of their shared found family only. Ted didn't want to consider a time when that found family might have to extend. "Hey Becca, you ready?" He knocked softly at her door, she was across the room putting in earrings and trying to step into her shoes at the same time. "You could do one thing at a time?"
"I don't want to be late, are we still OK for time?"
"We got plenty, don't worry. You ok?"
"Yeah, how was Teddy?"
"Threw up on me."
"Badge of honour. Also, you probably deserved it."
"I'm hurt, how'd you figure that?"
"Because a little birdy tells me that you're dating someone in Kansas." 
"Ah."
"Hmm. You weren't going to tell me?"
"I was, I just wasn't sure when. Or how. And there's something I needed to do first." He crowded her in her bedroom doorway as she went to leave, the bustle and laughter from downstairs filtering up to them. 
"What's that then?" She queried, feeling her chest tighten at his sudden proximity. His hand moved to the hip of her wrap dress, where the split skirt opened up. He flicked his wrist to get underneath the fold of the skirt, catching her eye for the briefest second to seek permission. She nodded, putting a hand on his shoulder to steady herself just in time - his fingers slipped her underwear to one side and he pushed two inside her, curling them just so. She gasped and he leaned in to kiss her. 
"Shhh baby, don't want the rabble to hear ya. You gonna keep quiet for me?" She nodded, resting her head in the crook of his neck. His hand rocked against her clit, his fingers fucking her as she moaned quietly into his collar. 
"Fuck, Ted I-"
"I know baby, I've got you. I needed to see you like this again, I always need to see you like this. Sometimes, thinking of you like this is the only thing that gets me through the day." 
"Come on, you two!" Keeley's voice shouted out. Rebecca froze, but Ted didn't stop. He pressed his palm harder into her clit and kept his fingers moving inside her.
"Just coming Keeley, Rebecca had to switch shoes." Rebecca was just coming, she wobbled against him, moaning into his ear. He held her hip a little tighter, "Come on, baby, you got it."
"She's got too many pairs! If only I didn't have such teeny feet!" 
"She's chosen some now, it's like Sarah Jessica Parker's closet up here!" He called out with a smile as Rebecca came down from her earth shattering high. She hit his bicep, barely any true strength behind it. He took his hand away, going to lick his fingers, but she grabbed his wrist and licked them herself while holding his gaze. She straightened her dress and steadied herself in her shoes. 
"Do I look OK?" She asked, concerned that she'd be caught out as soon as she got downstairs. He reached out to brush her hair from her forehead and placed a warm kiss on her lips."You look beautiful." She breezed down the stairs, sweeping her coat from the coatstand as she hustled her gathered friends through the front door to the waiting selection of cars. If Leslie noticed her hands shaking in the car, he didn't say anything. She was grateful when Ted jumped in the car behind with Keeley and Roy. 
Nate's family were incredibly warm and welcoming considering they received three cars and ten people all at once. Once they made it through to the ceremony room, the reason became clear - they'd just received 22 footballers, their plus ones and a selection of support staff. A group of ten was nothing. At the front of the room, Nate stood alongside Will. Keeley and Rebecca blew him kisses as they made their way down the aisle to their seats. They exchanged hushed greetings with the team and all sat, except Ted, who went to shake Nate’s hand warmly. They shared a quick moment before Ted was encouraged into the empty seat next to Rebecca just in time for the ceremony. Rebecca brushed a stray tear or two from her face as the couple exchanged rings, Ted squeezed her hand. The functional service was short, and they were soon driving ten minutes down the road to the reception venue. 
"I want to hear about her you know?" Rebecca told him once they were settled with a drink in the spring sunshine. 
"Who?"
"Who," she scoffed, "your mystery woman. I cannot believe you didn't tell me. I had to find out from Keeley. You can’t distract me here, so you might as well tell me."
"I'm sorry 'bout that, I really am."
"The distraction? Don't be."
"Oh no, I'm never gonna be sorry for that. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. We don't talk about Matt, and that's fine - I don't really want to, I wasn't sure if you'd feel the same way. I know you've struggled with what happened between us the last time I was here, and I've probably made it worse with what happened earlier-"
"I know it's… wrong. I do. And I care very much for Matt, I just can’t help but think of the night before your last match. I can't help it." She stole a glance around the gardens, hoping they weren't being overheard. "I feel so guilty, but then when you're here, I just feel relief. I'm not sure how long I can carry the guilt around with me." 
"Do you love him?"
"You're really asking me that?"
"No. I don't want to know the answer." She rolled her eyes. 
"And yet here's me, asking to hear about the woman you're dating."
"Her name is Marie. She works in Sports Science."
"Where did you meet?"
"At one of Hen's matches. She's a parent of one of the other kids in the team."
"Is she nice to you?"
"She is. She's fun, smart."
"Pretty?" Rebecca chanced.
"Very."
"Do you love her?".
"It's early days." Rebecca stared at him. 
"So earlier was…? For old times sake? You ask if I love Matt, but you're awfully cagey when I ask the same question."
"No, no, I wanted you, Rebecca."
"Wanted? Hmm. I think I've heard enough. I'm going to find Keeley." Rebecca turned to leave.
"Now hold on, you can't get mad that I'm dating. You've been with Matt for nearly a year. You're not mad at me, you're mad at yourself for cheating on him."
"Don't tell me what you think you know about me, Ted. This isn't biscuits with the fucking boss anymore." She looked away, too angry to look directly at him. "You know exactly what you do to me, exactly what effect you have on me. This isn't a game, I'm fed up of you fucking me one day and being over 4000 miles away the next. One night, I said. A weird parting gift for myself, so I'd always know how you'd feel against me, inside me. One night and then never again." She shook her head. "I mean it this time, never again."
She spent the rest of the night ignoring him as much as possible. She danced with Keeley for the majority of the night, some of the players too, Roy - as usual. Despite the angry words with Ted, she did have a good night. Nate and Jade were gloriously happy, Trent kept her topped up with gin as if he knew she was trying to keep her thoughts at bay. She hadn't felt this grateful for her family since Ted had left them nearly a year before, when they'd rallied around each other and pulled each other along until they could all stand upright again. 
"He has no idea what he's doing to us all, coming back and reminding us all of how much we love him and then he leaves again like it's nothing! Like we don't even fucking matter to him!" She said to Trent, beginning to regret the last drink she knocked back. 
"Do you want me to get him, so you can talk?"
"Absolutely not, I've had far too much to drink. I think I need to go home, Trent. Thank you."
"Anytime. Come, I'll walk you out, have you called your driver?"
"Yes, he should be here. I just need to say goodbye to Nate and Jade." Rebecca gratefully took Trent’s arm, she wasn't embarrassingly drunk, but she felt ever so slightly beyond her limit given that she was a fairly prominent public figure. The last thing she needed now was photos of 'Wrecked Rebecca' splashed across the front pages. She put on her game face and let Trent escort her around the room, saying her goodbyes to the team and their partners, who all stopped whatever they were doing to sling an arm around her, or offer her a kiss. She spent slightly longer with Colin and Michael and Sam and Simi, she was enveloped in a group hug by Keeley, Roy and Jamie. Keeley had made plans with Simi for a team meal after the match on Sunday while they had Ted visiting. From the edge of it all, with baby Teddy asleep on his shoulder, Ted watched as the team surrounded their 'soccer mom' with love. The very reason she could never leave, the very reason he'd never ask her to. Richmond had gained reputation as a team who (after the Jamie Tartt to Man City and Zava debacles) seldom moved players on without good reason, a team where players were vocal about not wanting to leave. They weren't a pitstop team, they valued consistency and loyalty, and the loyalty went both ways. He loved watching her like this, her guard down as she made sure her boys were all ok, had they organised cars home? Had they got house keys? Had they eaten? Forever taking care of everyone else ahead of herself. He watched as she made her way to the new Mr & Mrs Shelley, complimenting Nate on his wonderful bride who suited him so brilliantly. She came over to say goodbye to Beard and Jane, gently stroking Teddy's head where it rested on Ted’s shoulder. She murmured a quiet goodnight in his direction and left. Trent returned moments later.
"How is she?" Ted asked, warily. 
"She finds it difficult to see you. We all do, Ted. Events like this, where you're here, remind us of the missing piece in our day to day lives. When you're here, it's like we're a complete unit again. By Monday morning, we'll all be one card short of a full deck again."
"Come on now Trent, I already told you - it was never about me."
"And that may well be true, it's about everyone. Everyone, including you."
"He's right, Coach." Beard offered. "You're the Yorkshire pudding to our roast dinner, the lime slice in our gin, the salt to our tequila. It all works fine without you, but it's a lot better with you."
"I miss you guys too. There's a lot more of you, feels like I'm missing more pieces if I'm honest. It's like I've got a person for every situation here. Back in Kansas, it's just not the same."
The hangovers were fortunately in short supply the next morning. It was a short training day - a Saturday before a Sunday lunchtime match kick off. Ted was staying until the Monday morning flight out of Heathrow. He'd planned to spend the Saturday watching training and then with whoever else had made plans to pull him into their busy Saturday. In this instance, it was Roy, Keeley and Jamie who'd insisted that he join them at Phoebe's school fayre for the afternoon. 
"Bring your wallet, the school will fuckin' rinse you for every penny." Roy suggested.
"I tell you what, two quid on the bouncy castle, a fiver for a hotdog, ice creams, tombolas, hook a duck… I spent £50 last time! I'm sure between us we paid for that new school library!" Keeley laughed with him in the stands while the lads ran drills on the pitch. "Roy donated three signed footballs to the raffle, and I'm sure he bunged them a couple of grand as well."
"He's a good benefactor for them."
"It's a lovely afternoon, Rebecca said she might join us for an ice cream as well. Phoebe's properly taken a shine to her recently. I think as she's getting older, seeing her mum, me and Rebecca being boss ass bitches is really helping her find her place in the world."
"Well that's great news, it's good for kids to have such strong role models."
"And Henry, he's got you. And he's got all of us here."
"Not sure I'm the best role model for him right now, but thanks Keels."
"You're one of the best men I know, Ted. I mean, you do make some odd decisions but then so do those lot." She shrugged, pointing down to the pitch. 
The school playground was packed, there was no shade and it was a hot day. There were craft stalls, cakes, sweets, a dance troop, and a community band. Ted walked with Jamie a few steps behind Roy and Keeley, with Phoebe leading them all though the maze of people, occasionally sticking her hand out for more cash. They were stood in the longest line for the ice cream van when the crowd seemed to part like the red sea for Rebecca who breezed through in a beautiful sundress, wide brimmed hat and large glasses. Keeley whistled at the sight. 
"Holy shi-..rts Rebecca!"
"Afternoon all. Are you in the queue?"
"Yeah, what do you want?"
"99 please, Roy. Here, I'll get these. I bet Phoebe's fleeced you already." She handed him some cash and leaned down to look at the glittery face paint Phoebe had chosen which was rapidly sweating off her face. "You look like a mermaid! It's beautiful!"
"You should have yours done too!"
"Maybe next time. Have you been on the trampolines yet?" Phoebe shook her head. "Hmm, maybe a bit later. You both having fun?" She asked Ted and Jamie. 
"Yeah, they've roped me into doing a penalty shootout later." Jamie faux complained. 
"Ya didn't seem too put out by that, Jamie. Mind those kids don't beat you though, you might get bumped from the team." Ted teased. He handed Rebecca her ice cream and gestured towards a space which had opened up in the shade of the building. She led Phoebe to claim the spot and the others followed. They enjoyed the sun all afternoon before decamping to the Crown and Anchor for the evening. Keeley in particular, it seemed, was out to remind Ted of what he was missing out on. 
"Where are you watching the match tomorrow, Ted? You're coming up to the box aren't you? You've never sat with us for a game."
"Was thinking I might sit in the stands."
"You can't do that! You're a super special guest, you should have the best seat in the house. Isn't that right, Rebecca?" Rebecca felt a sharp jab to her ribs, 
"Ouch, fuck, Keeley! Of course Ted can sit with us, he can sit wherever he likes! I'm the owner, I can sit wherever I like."
"Ohhh I know where you'd like to sit." Keeley replied under her breath. She didn't think the rest of the table had heard the sunstruck, slightly drunk Keeley, until Ted spluttered into his pint. 
The next day dawned cooler, thankfully. Nelson Road was in good spirits, the team were 5th in the table with 4 games still to go so another chance in the Champions League was looking within grasp. It was the oddest feeling sitting with Ted next to her. They hadn't spoken alone since Nate's wedding reception, Rebecca reverting back to her default protection method of keeping a buffer person around them at all times. She, Keeley and Leslie were their usual boisterous selves during the game, jumping up and screaming bloody murder when Colin had a shot on target which was saved by the keeper. When Richmond were awarded a penalty late in the game, she found herself holding Ted's hands in hers while Keeley buried her face into Leslie’s shoulder. Jamie passed the ball to Dani to take the shot. When the goal went in, the roof nearly came off the stadium. Rebecca was on her feet instantly  throwing her arms around Ted's neck. 
The win meant a  jubilant atmosphere at Ola's that evening. Simi had outdone herself, the food and wine were perfect. Rebecca smiled fondly as Simi put Sam to work, he looked so enamoured with the young chef. Across the room, Keeley and Roy were talking privately, heads together. Rebecca could see that Ted was on the phone. 
"Yeah OK, we'll catch up when I get back in a few days. OK, you take care. Bye." He hung up as she took the seat next to him at the huge table set out for everyone. 
"The wonderful Marie?"
"Just checking in with her. I missed her call earlier."
"Sounds pretty serious between you both."
"Says you coming up on nearly a year with Matt." Rebecca tapped the stem of her wine glass.
"I wouldn't place bets on my meeting any upcoming milestones."
"That so?" She didn't reply. 
"I'd get another flight booked soon if I were you." She said instead. Ted looked confused, she nodded towards Roy and Keeley. "That'll be the next one."
"You think?" 
"Just a feeling. I could be wrong."
"Not in my lifetime." 
"Oh, I don't know. I've made some terrible mistakes."
"So you've said."
"None of them involving you, though."
"Not even everything we talked about on Friday?"
"Nothing about you - hiring you, sleeping with you, loving you, none of it will ever be a mistake." This time, he didn't reply. "I hope she knows how lucky she is, this Marie. I hope she loves you for exactly who you are. I hope she's worthy of you. Because I'm yet to find anyone who is." She smiled softly at him and walked away to catch up with Julie Higgins. They had a wonderful night, they always did when everyone was together. Late into the evening,  Keeley and Roy pulled Rebecca to one side. 
"Can you keep a straight face?" Roy demanded. 
"I was married to Rupert. Of course I can. What's happened?"
"Nothing bad," Keeley started, "Roy and I have decided to get married." Rebecca squealed quietly but kept a total poker face. "In 10 weeks."
"Why the rush?"
"We wanted to have a surprise wedding in the summer break before the new season starts. We're going to get everyone there by disguising it as Roy's 40th."
"So why do I have to know?"
"Because neither of us can keep a secret from you! Also, we want you to officiate?"
"You want what?!" Rebecca shouted, eyes swiveled to see what the fuss was. She smiled and waved their looks away, "Sorry, Roy wants us to ermm… do a ermmm…"
"Nude charity calendar for next year! All of you and Rebecca as well." Keeley supplied. Rebecca agreed with a tight smile. 
"Yep. Yep, that's it." A handful of cheers and whoops went up around the room and everyone went back to business. Ted raised his eyebrows and went back to talking to Leslie. "You want me to do what?" She hissed. 
"You wouldn't be a maid of honour, you'll tell me you're too old."
"You won't be my best woman, you'll fob me off with one of these knobs instead."
"So we wanted a role for you which shows exactly what you mean to us. We want you to marry us. Also we want you to sing our wedding dance song, but I felt like I should lead with the legal bit. You have to apply for the license so we needed to tell you straight away." Keeley beamed adoringly at her best friend. 
"Will you do it, blondie?" She sighed.
"Of course I will you fucking idiots. I'd be honoured." Her bottom lip wobbled slightly. 
"Keep it together, big secret remember." Roy hugged her gratefully. She nodded. 
"I guess I'll see you in my office in the morning?" Keeley nodded,
"Oh, looks like Ted is off." He made his way over, poised for a goodbye. "Time to go already, Ted?"
"Sure is. At least I got to see y'all for a bit longer this time."
"You'll be back again before you know it." Keeley said with a twinkle.
"I'm sure I will. Bye guys, you take care." He made his way round with hugs and kisses, reaching Rebecca last. "See you soon," he started before holding her tightly and whispering into her ear, "I swear it gets harder to leave you. Goodnight Becca." He kissed under her earlobe, warmth spread through her body like wildfire and before he could move away, he heard her wimper. He gave her a last look before calling out and waving to everyone else. 
She lasted 10 minutes before she left as we'll, passing it off as being a late night and expecting a busy Monday. She caught Mae just as the front of the pub was getting locked up. 
"You can go up through the bar, love. He's not long got back. You'll have to leave out the back though - that's the out of hours b&b door. Room 6."
"Thanks, Mae."
"Good result today."
"It was indeed. Shame you can't come to a match, you'll have to leave this place in safe hands and come spend a day in the owners box with me."
"I'd love to darlin', but I don't trust none of those wankers with my pub on match day!" The elder woman replied with a laugh. Rebecca crept upstairs, not wanting to disturb other guests. If he was surprised to see her, he didn't show it. He just held the door open and stepped behind her to close it quietly again. She pushed him back against the door, pressing her body against him. 
"I thought you said-" she silenced him with a kiss, biting his bottom lip, requesting access. He granted it, letting her deepen the kiss as her hands trailed to the bottom of his t-shirt. She slipped her hands underneath and tickled her fingertips across his stomach. 
"If you don't want this, say so now and I'll leave." She could feel him hardening against her and palmed him over his khakis, making him groan into her mouth. "This ok?" She asked, pulling back a little. He nodded and she raised an eyebrow. 
"Yes, don't stop." He understood the silent request. She pulled his t-shirt off first before moving to undo his belt. She got to her knees in front of him, pulling the khakis and his boxers down as she went. She took his hard length in hand, running her thumb over the tip. He bucked against her and she grinned up at him. "Jesus, fuck Rebecca."
"Something wrong?" She stroked him slowly, taking her time. 
"Seeing you like this, I ain't gonna last long baby-"  She ignored him and carried on before running her tongue along the underside of his cock. His head fell back against the door, hands clenched at his sides. Once she'd taken him fully into her mouth and found her rhythm, she moved her hands from the front of his thighs to hold his hands, unclenching the fists and giving him a reassuring squeeze. She guided his hands to her head, moaning around him in response to his pleasure. It didn't take long for him to run a hand through her hair and give it a gentle pull. She pulled off, the sound an obscene pop. "Please, Becca, I want you." He offered her a hand so she could get up. He went to undo the buttons of her dress but she batted his hands away, shaking her head. Instead she guided him to the sofa and pushed him to sit down. She took a step back and unhooked the buttons herself, pulling the dress over her head and leaving her only in lingerie before him. She straddled his lap, moving her underwear to one side. 
"I thought of you when I brought this set." She admitted, sliding down onto him. He held her hips, letting her set the pace. "Everytime I come, I think about you." She ground her hips down, moaning with the relief of finally having him inside her again. His hands roamed her back, unclipping her bra and then pulling her closer. Her hands dragged up his chest, winding around his neck and up to pull his hair. "I thought I had my feelings for you locked away enough so that they'd never get out." He couldn't take his eyes off her as she rocked down into him, inviting him deeper and deeper. "You've fucking wrecked me, Ted-" she continued with a groan "I just need you. I only ever need you."
"You got me baby, fuck Becca you feel so good." He bit into the soft flesh of her shoulder and roughly palmed her nipple as she increased her pace but held him tighter, the friction and angle turning her confessions into babbling expletives until his name over and over was the only coherent sound. 
"Ted-" she whined frantically, begging him to save her, release her. 
"Come on now sweetheart, come for me." He caught her mouth in a filthy kiss, wrapped an arm around her waist and met her thrusts, holding her in place and helping her stuttering hips get her through to her peak. She came with a sob, returning his kiss and continued riding his cock until he came into her moments later. She came to a gradual stop and fell against him. They sat still for a few minutes, her forehead on his shoulder, breathing steadying. She felt him soften inside her and brought herself up onto her knees to move off the sofa. He held her hands until she settled on her shaky legs. "Will you stay?" He asked quietly. 
"No, Ted. Not this time." She cleared up quickly and left him at the top of the stairs, "I'll see you in a few months." He looked confused, "Roy and Keeley are getting married. Don't tell anyone. I'm not supposed to tell anyone but apparently I can't keep secrets from you any more." She rolled her eyes and snuck out the back as Mae had requested. 
Ted didn't sleep before his 6am flight back to Kansas.

Billboard USA Exclusion Zone Episode 6 (03/18/2023)
Tumblr media
Remember two or three weeks ago when I said that there's big rift or differences between Global 200 and Global Excl US chart? Well the rift is getting more obvious when you look at the chart this week where a certain country artist album bombed the Global 200. But, in this chart he only charted one song. Well let's talk about it in detail soon.
---------------------------------------------
16. "on the street" by j-hope ft. J Cole
You know J Cole has stated that his career from 2013 onward is always trying to erase "Work Out", his first charting hit, from people's memories because Nas didn't like the song. Well not only is the beat to this song is significantly worse than "Work Out", but you can't even stay on beat. I am not a fan of J Cole and even I'm disappointed in this.
42. "Shorty Party" by Cartel de Santa ft. La Kelly
This sounds like if "Therefore I Am" by Billie Eilish was 50% less good and in Spanish and the song was sung by Pop Smoke.
103. "Last Night" by Morgan Wallen
So I am in this community filled with chart nerds and music reviewers. And the running joke is always that Morgan Wallen, as much as he's one of the biggest artists in America, never charted in Global Excl US chart. Even with the album nuke that happened in Global 200, people expected that the song won't chart. But thanks to Canada and Australia, we have the first Morgan Wallen song to debut.
This song and Morgan Wallen's popularity as a whole has been a contention in the music twitter sphere because he seems to be more popular after the n word incident. This incident brings up the debate of separate the art from the artist. I hate to say it but the whole Morgan Wallen persona has always been that he's drunk asshole. So there's still lingering sense that the incident is him in the song. In Last Night too he talked about a breakup and there's a mentioned of alcohol in it. So yeah you can't really separate the art from the artist here.
But that raise another question, why is his popularity in the United States is massive despite what the stan twitter led you believe. Well the truth is most of the Morgan Wallen's listeners aren't on twitter. They're the silent majority and the silent majority is overall the most powerful listeners in America at least. And also that he has embraced streaming, it created the perfect formula for US popularity but not for worldwide.
This also proves that popular music has become more regionalized thanks to the streaming era. Just look at the stark differences between Hot 100, Canadian Hot 100, UK Official Chart, and Japan Hot 100. Yeah they might have some overlap, but most of the songs that appeared on these charts catered to those regions. This is a stark difference even just from six years ago. Definitely something to keep an eye on.
120. "Mas Rica Que Ayer" by Anuel AA, Mambo Kingz, DJ Lulan
Phew that was a lot that I have to say about Last Night. Thank god after that it'll be brief. This song is just your standard reggaeton from a guy that most Americans knew from his song with 6ix9ine.
148. "El Azul" by Junior H X Peso Pluma
The low end of this song is fucked I'm sorry. It's like there's an earthquake in the middle of a wedding.
165. "Sem Alianca no Dedo" by MC Xenon & Gemeos Da Putaria
This sounds like if Clipping circa their horrorcore era made a Brazilian song and just forgot to mix the vocal properly. Also I heard that most Brazilian songs sampled Say It Right percussion so take that as you will.
176. "Red Ruby Da Sleeze" by Nicki Minaj
You know I think that the record execs from the early 90's that sued De La Soul and Biz Markie had some points you know.
179. "El Merengue" by Marshmello ft. Manuel Turizo
I thought that Marshmello is done ruining genres across the globe? But that Despecha song is popping so here we are.
187. "M.A (Mejores Amigos)" by BM
This song is strange. It's like a mix between reggaeton, corrido, and a hints of EDM there? I'm confused
192. "Numb" by Linkin Park
At least this week's debut ended with one of the best hit songs of the 2000's.
I highly recommend everyone to check out these songs.

That last comment ^
As a side note, there are borders in the UK that are closer than France. Ireland, Wales and Scotland are right there. While there are some cultural commonalities, they are distinct countries with their own cultures and so on.
I think the big thing that a lot of people don't realise is how young Europeans tend to leave their country. To give an example, here's some of my youthful travel history.
As an English kid, I was one of the last in my class to have left the country. I was maybe 9? Family holiday to Cyprus. It was the first time my Dad had left the country. He was in his thirties at the time. This stuff is very heavily influenced by class - he grew up working class and me and my sisters grew up sort of lower middle class/working class. By the time I finished primary school, we'd been to Spain and Tunisia, as well. Most kids my age had been going abroad for years at that point, even if it was only on cheap package deals to tourist spots that cater to Brits abroad. Even then, however, my primary school organised student trips to Wales, which is, again, another country.
My secondary school organised trips to Europe each year after the first - alternating between France and Germany. So year 8 was France, Year 9 was Germany, Year 10 was an exchange with a French school, and Year 11 was an exchange with a German school. I knew a lot of kids who could afford all four, but my family couldn't. So I did the year 8 France trip and the year 11 German exchange. There were yearly skiing trips to various destinations, but I never went on those.
They also organised trips to North and South America, when I was in sixth form, assuming you chose the appropriate subjects to study (ie: 18) - I attended one of each, so I had a week in San Francisco with my sociology class, and two weeks in Honduras, helping at a conservation camp in the rainforest, and learning to dive off the coast with my biology class. My younger sister had a trip to Beijing with her sociology class at the same school. My uncle (also at the same school) visited Moscow on a politics class trip before the Iron Curtain fell. There was also a biology research trip to the Isle of Man that I attended. (Which is a self governing crown dependency, which means that it isn't part of the UK, but does share a monarch with us, while also not being its own sovereign state, but having its own laws and so on. It's complicated and I don't understand it at all, but I needed my passport to travel there, so it counts as 'another country' functionally.)
Later, my undergraduate degree required me to live in both Germany and the Netherlands for half a year. I studied languages, and that was, at the time, a standard required part of the university curriculum in Europe. (I'm not sure how Brexit has affected it these days, but I'm certain it isn't for the better.)
Here's the kicker, though: for pretty much the entirety of my childhood, I wasn't as well travelled as most of my friends. To this day, I'm less well travelled than many of my peers because I haven't visited Asia or Australia, or any part of Africa south of Tunisia or Morocco. (though not for lack of trying - we had a trip to Japan planned before covid and my cousin in law's Australian wedding that both fell through, unfortunately.)
The point I'm getting at is, even if it's only for a week every other year, the ability to travel somewhere with different currency and language and cultural norms as a little kid? And have that be normal? And have some small exposure to different ways of living? What that does for your developing brain and (hopefully, if you aren't being a racist/colonialist prick about it) your way of seeing the world is utterly invaluable.
I wish more Americans had those sorts of opportunities. You've (theoretically, given money for a flight, or gas) got access to different biomes and subtly different cultures, but there isn't a state where people flat out don't/aren't encouraged to believe in standard American values. They make all of you recite that damn pledge daily in schools FFS. It's fucked up, and you all deserve better working conditions and affordable travelling costs to help enable that.
Not to sound like a complete hippy, but travel really does broaden your mind and your horizons, even if it's only in tiny increments.
since moving here ive noticed europeans have no concept of how few americans ever leave USA. every american tourist youve met is of an economic crust that is vastly unobtainable to the other like. 85% generously. no matter what you have believed i can guarantee this. even getting to canada isnt really a possibility and the mexico-US border is highly controlled and militarized.
to put it into perspective. a ~2 hour flight from london to warsaw is like. 30 to 45 USD?
and a 2 hour flight from one US city to another would be about 130 USD
it was very cheap to fly here. i make over 100k USD now and i dont know if ill ever be able to afford leaving. if that gives you an idea of how prohibitive travel is here. i havent even touched on how the US has Zero guaranteed holidays by the govt. many people here go years without ever having an entire week off of work
this has had a like. massive impact on American Brain and they dont even know it because travel isnt even a consideration economically. they dont even know how much more vacation time european countries have guaranteed

The Role of Whisky in British Culture and Traditions
Summary
Tumblr media
What is whisky’s history in Britain?
Whisky’s roots run deep in Britain, particularly in Scotland, where the spirit has been crafted for centuries. The first written record of whisky production dates back to 1494, in the Exchequer Rolls of Scotland, referencing “eight bolls of malt” sent to Friar John Cor. This was enough to make roughly 1,500 bottles of whisky, highlighting its early significance.
By the 18th century, whisky production in Scotland faced heavy taxation, leading to a surge in illegal distilling. The introduction of the Excise Act of 1823 helped regulate the industry, paving the way for iconic distilleries like Glenlivet to emerge legally. Today, Scotland is home to over 130 distilleries, producing some of the world’s finest single malts and blends.
In England, whisky’s presence was less pronounced historically but has seen a resurgence in recent years. Distilleries such as The Lakes Distillery have gained recognition, adding to Britain’s whisky heritage. Across the UK, whisky has transitioned from a local craft to an internationally celebrated product.
Why is whisky significant in British celebrations?
Whisky often takes center stage in British celebrations, symbolizing unity, tradition, and respect for heritage. Key events where whisky plays a role include:
Burns Night: Celebrated annually on January 25th, this Scottish event honors poet Robert Burns. A traditional Burns Night supper includes haggis, poetry recitals, and a toast with whisky.
Hogmanay: Scotland’s New Year celebration features whisky as an essential part of first-footing, a tradition where the first visitor to a home after midnight brings gifts, including whisky, for good luck.
Weddings and Christenings: In many British families, a bottle of whisky is opened to mark special occasions. Some families even keep a “special bottle” to be shared over generations.
Royal Events: Whisky has also played a part in royal celebrations. For instance, when Queen Elizabeth II visited Islay in 1980, she was gifted a cask of whisky from Bowmore distillery.
These traditions underscore whisky’s role not only as a drink but as a symbol of celebration and continuity.
How has whisky shaped British identity?
Whisky has become a cornerstone of British identity, particularly in Scotland, where it’s often referred to as “the water of life” or uisge beatha in Gaelic. Beyond its economic contribution — whisky exports generated £4.51 billion in 2022 alone — the spirit embodies craftsmanship and a connection to the land.
Whisky tourism has further cemented its cultural importance. Scotland’s “Whisky Trail,” which includes famous distilleries like Macallan and Glenfiddich, attracts over two million visitors annually. These tours not only showcase the production process but also highlight the pride and heritage associated with whisky.
Even in literature and media, whisky often appears as a character-defining drink. From James Bond’s preference for Scotch to Ian Rankin’s depiction of Edinburgh detectives sipping whisky, the spirit serves as a cultural marker.
What makes whisky unique in British traditions?
Several factors make whisky a unique aspect of British traditions:
Regional Diversity: The UK offers a wide range of whisky styles, from the peaty malts of Islay to the smooth blends of Speyside. This diversity allows whisky to cater to various tastes and occasions.
Craftsmanship: Traditional methods, such as copper pot stills and oak cask aging, ensure that each bottle tells a story of skill and patience.
Accessibility: While some whiskies are rare and expensive, many high-quality options are accessible, making whisky a drink for all.
Symbolism: Whisky often symbolizes warmth, hospitality, and resilience, traits deeply rooted in British culture.
How does whisky fit into modern British life?
While steeped in tradition, whisky continues to evolve in modern Britain. Today, whisky is no longer limited to straight pours; it’s also celebrated in cocktails, such as the Whisky Sour or Old Fashioned, making it popular among younger audiences.
Craft distilleries have also contributed to whisky’s modern appeal. In Wales, Penderyn Distillery has gained acclaim for its innovative approach, while English whisky brands have experimented with new grains and aging techniques. These innovations reflect Britain’s ability to honor tradition while embracing change.
Whisky clubs and tasting events have also grown in popularity, offering enthusiasts a chance to explore rare bottles and learn about the craft. Virtual whisky tastings, which gained traction during the COVID-19 pandemic, have made the experience more accessible than ever.
What is whisky’s role in sustainability and the future?
Sustainability is becoming a key focus in the whisky industry. Distilleries are adopting eco-friendly practices, such as using renewable energy, recycling byproducts, and reducing water usage. For example:
Ardnamurchan Distillery: Runs entirely on renewable energy and sources barley locally.
Bruichladdich: Committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2025.
Glenmorangie: Operates the DEEP project, which restores oyster reefs to improve water quality near the distillery.
These efforts not only address environmental concerns but also ensure that whisky remains a sustainable part of British culture for generations to come.
Conclusion
Whisky’s role in British culture and traditions is multifaceted, reflecting its rich history, symbolic significance, and adaptability. From its origins in monastic distilleries to its presence in modern bars and events, whisky continues to unite people and celebrate heritage.
