I've Ended Up With A Lot Of Love For S4 And Have Accepted The Rough Ride They Put Kimchie Through For

I've ended up with a lot of love for S4 and have accepted the rough ride they put Kimchie through for much of it. But it was truly pretty jarring to go from three seasons of Frenchie - extremely adorably - moving heaven and earth to even be able to communicate with Kimiko to suddenly having him be the one not talking to her.

That time when he still calls her Mon Coeur but doesn't say it with the tenderest tone you've heard in your life was like a direct slap on my own little heart 😄

THE BOYS 4.05 Beware of the Jabberwock, My Son

I have so many questions. So many.

they are really fuckin these snails up

I'm British but memorised all 50 states, and their capitals, for some random reason as a teenager and have just somehow never really forgotten them.

Channelling my inner Ryan Butcher apparently! Have never tried to do either alphabetically or geographically though, I just do my best to remember in whatever random order I can.

Don't think I would do anywhere near as well on European countries. And I would be very very close to zero for British counties 😄

The states have much better names and just the one 'shire'.

inspired by the quiz i saw for the countries!

take this quiz to see how many USA states you can name in 10 minutes, because i was curious to see if i still remembered. i got all but blanked on wyoming, maryland, and oklahoma. (and i only got nebraska, missouri, and mississippi in the last 10 seconds. when i blank out i BLANK out.)

She loves a good scissor stab 😎

Kimiko blasting Maniac and doing the Flashdance routine. Yass Queen!! Go attack those guards to protect your dysfunctional family.

Namibia is my favourite place I've ever been in the world. I volunteered there three times, supporting wildlife care and the welfare of the San tribe and it was the best thing I've ever done. Simultaneously one of the 'oldest' and 'youngest' countries in the world with some of the wisest people I've ever met. They know the heartache all too well themselves.

Namibia blocks ship over Israel war-crime concerns

A vessel is suspected to be carrying military cargo intended for Israeli use in the ongoing war in Gaza.

[BBC is UK State Media]

A vessel suspected by the Namibian authorities to be carrying military cargo intended for Israeli use in the ongoing war in Gaza has been blocked from docking in the southern African country.

Namibian Justice Minister Yvonne Dausab told state media the ship was stopped because it had “explosive material destined for Israel".

The MV Kathrin, which set off from Vietnam, had requested permission to dock in the port of Walvis Bay – before sailing north, on a suspected route towards the Mediterranean via the Strait of Gibraltar.

Rights groups had warned that Namibia could have been implicated in potential human rights violations had it allowed the vessel to dock.[...]

The MV Kathrin, which was set to dock at Walvis Bay on Monday from Vietnam, was stopped in accordance with Namibia's support for the Palestinian people and the country’s call for an end to the violence in Gaza, Ms Dausab told the state-run New Era news website.

Citing a police investigation, Ms Dausab said the vessel was "indeed carrying explosive material destined for Israel, and was therefore prohibited from entering Namibian waters". “Namibia complies with our obligation not to support or be complicit in Israeli war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, as well as its unlawful occupation of Palestine,” she said.[...]

Namibian human rights organisation the Economic and Social Justice Trust (ESJT) welcomed the move.

"We are pleased that our government has decided to respect international law and decided not to be complicit to genocide," ESJT's Herbert Jauch told the BBC[...]

Namport has not responded to the BBC for comment about the MV Kathrin.
