It was honestly so hard to watch Kant dismissively say that once he and Style were done getting info on the brothers, they'd both go to jail. Especially given how horrific prison conditions in Thailand are(I do think you should look it up because it's important info to have, particularly if you ever plan on visiting Thailand, and also so you'll have context for what exactly it means for characters in these shows to be threatened with imprisonment, but be warned, it's not an easy thing to learn about). Just the fact that Bison has been nothing but very sweet with Kant, that they've had such fun times together, and Bison is giving Kant his heart, the way that Kant can just casually say that he's helping send Bison to jail, without any indication that he'd fight for him at all, is breaking my heart. I can understand him not caring about Fadel, but Bison? Truthfully, I have no idea how Kant actually feels about Bison, or the experiences they've had together, past enjoying sex with him. Was he actually into the BDSM play they did together? Does he like Bison at all yet? I mean, I know he eventually will, but it's unclear to me at this point if he truly likes Bison.

I think he does. I think he's genuinely enjoyed his times with Bison. But honestly, that just makes the whole thing worse. The fact that he can actually like this man, yet be willing to send him to prison? To Thai prison?

Then there's Fadel. Fadel, whom I expected to hold out longer. It was so hard to watch him finally give into his feelings and reach out to Style, only to get the cold shoulder. I'm also not sure if Style actually liked Fadel in the first place. I think there was attraction. But genuine like? I just don't know. I don't even know if Style truly wanted Fadel to be his boyfriend before he found out he was a hit man. He sure as shit doesn't want Fadel now. So we're going to have to watch him pretend even harder that he wants to be with Fadel, and I think Fadel will see through that.

I do think this'll have a happy ending. I think the brothers will avoid prison by helping take their "mom" down. But it's gonna be rough going.

If you want a quick rundown of Thai prisons:

Texas’ HB 3399 bill will kill people if it passes. It will make hormone therapy illegal. For all ages. Period. This was never about women’s sports. It was never about bathrooms. It was never about “protecting the children”. They want us dead. If you’re a fellow trans person and you live in Texas, I strongly urge you to be ready to move somewhere safer.

EDIT: For updates, check the #HB 3399 tag. It’s hardly being used by anyone else.

My perfect thick idiot son, Calvin, who has never done anything wrong in his entire life except today when I let him climb my young redbud tree and he went to the highest branch and wedged himself in the crook of it and wouldn't budge and he's so big I was afraid that he might break the branch so I had to get a stepladder and get him down while the neighborhood jays that come by for peanuts whenever they see me in the yard freaked out and sat screaming on the fence to warn me that there's a snake very near me because I'm obviously too stupid to see it and clearly in mortal peril.

There’s this guy in town who owns this little house, and a while back he rescued a street dog that was going to get put down. Turned out she was pregnant.

Problem is, he has mental health & drug issues and couldn’t afford to get them all spayed & neutered, so now there are 6 grown bitches with 15 puppies total, and they’ve dug under his fence in multiple places but he can’t afford to fix it so they go roaming all around town. (When I say can’t afford it, I mean his house is currently running on a generator because he can’t afford his electric bill.) He’s also a day laborer so he cannot take multiple full days off work to take them to the vet an hour away. He’s in a really rough spot.

He’s not a bad person. He’s just overwhelmed.

And this little conservative town with 6 churches for 300 people, have they tried to help their neighbor? Have they adopted the puppies he’s been trying to give away? Have they offered resources?

NOPE! All they wanna do is talk shit about him and complain about the dogs but never lift a finger of their own. And they come to his house to yell at him and cuss him out about the dogs, which does not exactly engender in him a cooperative attitude, as you might imagine.

So after a while of this going on, my mom gets fed up with all the NIMBY bullshit and starts talking to the guy, because she’s done animal rescue for 20-odd years and has Connections. He’s resistant at first, but when he realizes she’s not being an asshole to him on account of his addiction or the dogs, he decides to let her help.

She gets to work organizing and networking. Finds a non-profit that will cover vaccinations, spay/neuter, and flea treatments for all the dogs. Talks the next-door neighbor into paying for materials to fix the fence, since this guy can do the work of it himself. Gets him in touch with another non-profit that will adopt out the adult dogs.

Less than 2 weeks after she decided to do something, all puppies have been to the vet, 10 puppies and 4 adult dogs have been adopted out, and the second non-profit is coming by next week to pick up the remaining 7 dogs to ship them out for adoption.

I’ve learned a lot of things from my mom—some good, some bad—but I think the most important positive message she lives as an example of is this: sometimes, when something needs done and no one else is willing, you gotta stand up and say “I’ll do it.”

yall have got to be more normal about Southern people and I'm not kidding. enough of the Sweet Home Alabama incest jokes, enough of the idea that all Southerners are bigots and rednecks, and enough of the idea that the South has bad food. shut up about "trailer trash" and our accents and our hobbies!

do yall know how fucking nauseating it is to hear people only bring up my state to make jokes about people in poverty and incestuous relationships? how much shame I feel that I wasn't born up north like the Good Queers and Good Leftists with all the Civilised Folk with actual houses instead of small cramped trailers that have paper thin walls that I know won't protect me in a bad enough storm?

do yall know how frustrating it is to be trans in a place that wants to kill you and whenever you bring it up to people they say "well just move out" instead of sympathizing with you or offering help?

do yall understand how alienating it is to see huge masterposts of queer and mental health resources but none of them are in your state because theyre all up north? and nobody seems to want to fix this glaring issue because "they're all hicks anyways"

Southern people deserve better. we deserve to be taken seriously and given a voice in the queer community and the mental health space and leftist talks in general.
