You've constructed forgiveness as being located in your actions rather than your thoughts. I think these actions are supposed to be indicative of different emotional states but you were not explicit about that, so I'm not sure.

sexual identity and gender identity are often separated. This is because one indicates my own gender identity and the other indicates the possible gender identities of the people I am attracted to.

Not only can it be slipped into a pocket silently, it can also slip out silently. Plus every time you cut your nails you'll be like "FUCK, I'm useless"

Private school. Can do whatever they want. I hope she thinks this battle is worth it.

I found squirting that gel stuff on some plastic and leaving it near their source hole was pretty effective. I also found the thought that they were dining on delicious poison and bringing it back to kill their queen very very satisfying.
