Later, after the birthday party, we sort-of made up in that casual way children can do. We never spoke of it again, but I don't think he ever forgot that incident. He never bullied me again, but our friendship never was the same as it was before. Because he had broken my trust, and you can't just casually get back from that. 7/

Hein 🍋 Ragas (heinragas@mublog.nl)'s status on Saturday, 25-Nov-2023 18:40:30 JST Hein 🍋 Ragas Now that a fascist party won the election in the Netherlands, there are calls to not treat everyone that voted for them as a racist, because maybe they voted for this party for other reasons. "Love and understanding begets more love and understanding" and all that. To which I say: fuck that. They decided that the racism, homophobia, islamophobia and fascism was not a reason to vote something else. 8/

_They_ are the bullies, and _we_ get to decide if we want them at our birthday parties. And we don't. I have no empathy for those who lack it completely. 9/9
