I have a long-time friend who was with an abusive partner. One time after he assaulted her, she came to live with me. I didn't ask for rent I just had ONE condition: do not EVER let him know where I live. If you go see him, meet somewhere else.
3 days later, she invited him over
I am BEGGING y’all to read at least one book on domestic violence bc this isn’t being a girls girl, this is helping to isolate a victim further bc she didn’t respond how you wanted her to
It is difficult to be friends with someone in an abusive relationship becuz you indirectly take a lot of abuse. If you call the abuser out, you're the "bad guy"; if you push your friend too hard, you're the "bad guy"; and if you become the bad guy, the abuser succeeds in
I mean, I wanted to be safe, I didn't want a brick through my window or for him to show up with a shotgun. But, also, I knew she would likely go back to him, and would eventually need to leave him again, so I wanted my place to be safe for her to come too.
isolating the person they're abusing. There's alotta landmines to navigate, you have to remember it's not about you, and that this person needs your gentle support until they're ready to leave for real... but, you need to have your own boundaries too.

It was infuriating. It was disrespectful, but I also didn't wanna turn it into a friendship ending event. But I'm still pretty mad about it.
K muting this. Been nice talking to the majority of you, and to the donkeys crying and throwing up while desperately to make me feel bad for *checks notes* reasons, thanks for the laughs and stay in school
Now where's the colonialism/imperialism/capitalism outrage??? BTS is under fire for talking about racism with the President of the US while these gals sip prosecco at a Queen E b-day party.
I'll wait for all your think pieces.
BTS: "The news reported our enlistment locations against our wishes. Please don't show up and make an uncomfortable spectacle for us and everyone else."
Solos: "We'll send buses!"
@JordanHilaire_
I think he stole my bike, but that was about it, thank God. But I really struggled with that whole thing, and she just dismissed it with "well, he would never do that" like... you also thought he'd never do alot of things.
So, I have a solo in my mentions who thinks that JK wants them to send trucks to his building, so I asked them to give me their address so I could return to the favor, and for some reason they don't want a truck about them in front of their place of work...
Now we know why some stuff from the hybe realm is so delayed lol they partner with indie business that don't know what they're in for 🥴
Anyways... I kinda like it, and very on brand for them, like remember line friends was on the brink of death before bts partnered with them

They are working on getting the orders to you all
@natasha_kabasa
Wow do you have the TT?
My thoughts also went to that recent London stabbing cuz it was the friend he killed trying to get to the girlfriend, right?
Mantis/Solos all thought that BTS didn't have Instagram accounts because BigHit was sabotaging them when in reality BTS just didn't know how to use Instagram.
@RubysunshineXx
Ummmmm... we've known each other since we were 5. We go on these waves where we're super close, then the next wave we barely see each other. We've been on a very long barely seeing each other phase, but I would still call her a friend.
Antis have so many great pictures of bangtan, it's strange, but at least I know that when I want new gorgeous pics I just need to search "this is who you stan?!?!"
ARMY has NEVER been "the most toxic fandom." Y'all called us toxic when we were small and minding our own business. You called us toxic when tried to have their awards revoked. You called us toxic when you made up false SA allegations. You called us toxic when you supported

Western stans think ARMYs mass buy concert seats (literally, we're not joking them thinking that anymore, they literally think that) and that payola means you pay to NOT get streams or airplay.
Welcome to Monday.
It's pretty wild that ARMY says Ticketmaster is a scammer, a crook and a disaster and we're told we're just whining, but Taylor Swift has an issue and there's a literal federal inquiry.
@JordanHilaire_
And I gave you this one and only condition. Just one.... if you wanted to see him, then go meet somewhere public. Walk to the corner store and have him pick you up there, I don't care... he cannot know where I live. Effing 3 days later, ugh I was soo mad.
Can we just point out how SM Co-CEOs are listing off all the ways that THEY have been embezzling (while cheating their artist in 17 year contracts with only 10% pay) and yet are saying the HYBE is the villain here?! You think exposing your own corruption makes them the problem??
Anyways, I'm happy the guys are happy with their work environment. That's what any good person should want, instead of rooting for their "fave" to be miserable.
Now that Yoongi has confirmed what normal ARMYs have been saying FOREVER about why samples need to be cleared before they sampler can make money on the new song... can we now stop having this conversation every two minutes bout why songs not on Spotify is not Hybe sabotage?
Pls?
Here we go again, so I'll ask the question again since the last million times you all haven't been able to answer:
What is this non-payola "push" that you want BigHit to do? What does this "push" entail?
Someone says they're a survivor of sexual assault and they don't like how you're sensationalizing it and your response is to turn around an call them an abuser,
@juwonreports
?? You're sick.
So this is at least Jin's 3rd time - I think maybe 4th time - saying he isn't interested in acting right now.
Perhaps you all can stop sending trucks now.
I am so fcking sick an tired of how you fcking woke Olympians- some of you who have the audacity to call yourselves a fan and the accountability police - create a new God damn standard for these guys to fail every god damn day, a stand you would NEVER put on anyone else.
You're right... Taehyung didn't do any promos for his album. He just happened to go on all these shows during his album promotion period - and it's pure coincidence that he talked about and performed his album on there.
You're so smart.
Its more like Tae promoted these shows rather the shows promoting him. Artist from HYBE getting worldclass promotions are you are comparing those to what Tae got? You should be ashamed

Sale are counted at the POS (point-of-sale) so they basically set up shop in the US, scanned all sales as US sales then shipped them internationally.
Lemme get this straight... HYBE is responsible for:
- Foreign diplomats
- Domestic governments
- Military Nurses
- Stalkers
- Train companies
- Grammys
- American radio
- Spotify
- War
... am I missing any of the infinity stones?
I stand by the HYBE asking the government make up their damn minds and end this 3 year limbo they've put BTS though. I think BTS deserves answers and idgaf what any loser says on their podcast because I support BTS' right to not be fcked around with.
Namjoon and Taehyung got on their knees and begged people not to bother them when they're in the military. HYBE gave explicit instructions on how to safely and respectfully send fan messages to the members... but what did solos do? They showed up, sent buses, bought ads in
