Bad Omens

|| Author’s Note: So I am alive and I just binged 2 seasons of Fate: The Winx Saga in two days and it actually made me want to write again. As we have established with @anstyxkelsey, I have exactly one type that I keep recycling for over a decade now and here comes Sky!! 

This is short and sweet and not proofread and based off the song ‘Bad Omens’ by 5 Seconds of Summer.

We all think we know what we will feel when a war comes, what we will do, who we will become. 

The truth is that we do not, no matter how much we hear about war, how much we learn about it, how much we are prepared for it, if we are at all. We think that our relationships with our loved ones will survive, must survive, because what will if not them? 

But war changes people, and war changes relationships, irrevocably.

Before I start the next thing I want to do, I wanted to share my inspiration for the project…some inspirational wallpaper. Post ½.

Some really deep thoughts and introspective remarks. Wow.

Poland just made it legal to torture women.

abortion law in Poland was already the strictest in Europe, abortion was allowed in only 3 cases:

  1. if the pregnancy was a result of rape or incest
  2. if the mother's health was at risk
  3. in case of foetal defects.

another problem is that there is something called "conscience clause" among Polish doctors which means that they can deny a patient certain treatment if it's against their conscience or beliefs (yes, it mostly applies to conservative, catholic doctors). some doctors went as far as not telling women about foetal defects until it was too late to terminate pregnancy. what's more, abortion in case of rape happens very rarely, since it's difficult to prove rape in the eyes of Polish law.

in 2019, only 1100 legal abortions took place in Poland, a country populated by 38 milion people. 98% of these abortions happened because of foetal defects.

on October 22nd 2020, Poland's top court ruled abortion due to foetal defects inconstitional, basically making abortion illegal.

Polish women will be forced to give birth to children with basically no chance to live. they will be tortured physically and mentally. rich women will be able to visit neighbouring countries to have abortion there but there are plenty of women who will have unsafe, illegal abortions, endangering their lives.

there are protests happening all over the country. not for the first time though, we've been protesting abortion ban for few years now. there's a sense of solidarity among us but the truth is, we're afraid.

this is how catholic extremism looks like. Poland is becoming a real-life Gilead and it's fucking terrifying.

Can I come over?

It’s Saturday and it’s barely afternoon and Thalia doesn’t expect her phone to buzz with a message from him, at this time.

Not because it’s unusual to hear from him, no, but because it’s barely afternoon and usually, normally, their paths usually don’t cross until a blanket of darkness has covered New York. So when Thalia picks up her phone, seeing the name Mat come up in her notifications, she hesitates. It’s drizzling outside, but some rays of sunshine manage to peak through the clouds into her bedroom. Her flatmate is away that weekend, but she wouldn’t mind anyway. She has seen Mat in and about the flat many times before; it’s not unusual for theirs paths to cross. She has seen Thalia leave in the middle of the night often enough; she doesn’t judge. But even with the absence of the flatmate, Thalia hesitates.  

They’re creatures of the night. And yet, Thalia picks up her phone, opening the message.  

Sure. You know the address.
