Breakdown of the Omnibus Bill Proposal
The Omnibus 2023 $1.7 trillion Federal budget bill has officially been drafted and put before Congress to vote on today, and it is a doozy. At a whopping 4155 pages, how can one expect to be able to read it in a reasonable time before the vote. I for one am concerned as a responsible citizen about such a document being drafted and possibly passed with much nonsense going on inside of it. Both sides of the political spectrum need to stop doing this, but in any case we can at least have a laugh about some of the provisions it contains.
As detailed by Rep. Dan Bishop of North Carolina on his Twitter account, some of the more interesting budget allocations are:
$65 million for pacific coastal salmon recovery. The word salmon appears 48 times in the bill
$3 million for bee-friendly highways. “Carry out the Pollinator-Friendly Practices on Roadways and Highway Rights-of-Way Programs”. Who writes this stuff??
$65.7 million for international fisheries commissions
$4.1 million for various career programs in Fairfax county Virginia (one of the wealthiest counties in America)
$2.35 million for the maintenance/ support of the Iditarod Trail
Allocations for monuments for journalists and service animals
Plans to rename 25 post offices
$1.5 million for the restoration of the Albany, NY city hall. This isn’t a state and local issue?
Plus billions of more dollars in seemingly broad and overreaching categories. Our country’s politicians need to really clean it up and be more thoughtful and conservative with taxpayers’ money, but I personally don’t see it changing anytime soon. Oy vey

Ottawa spends millions on 944K phone lines. Nearly a third are ‘dormant’
In the 2023 federal budget, the Trudeau government vowed to find savings of more than $15-billion over four years. It may want to start with the phone bill. In 2022, the federal government spent more $165-million for more than 944,000 land and cellphone lines but, according to data quietly filed in the House of Commons days before the budget, more than 290,000 of those lines were “dormant” — not…

How To Make the Most of The New Year
Each new beginning inspires renewed hope for change, for a better life, and a better you. And to be honest, the thought of making the most of the year is a fantastic thing.
It’s amazing because this new beginning allows us to recreate our lives and ourselves. It enables us to re-energize ourselves, draw a new path, shed the baggage of the previous year, and do anything. A whole lot can happen in the next 365 days, but it all begins with a plan backed by actions. Here are 17 tips to guide you on how to make the most of the new year
Everything is achievable!
Tumblr media
1. Create a better budget
Making a promise to save more money is the one thing that will benefit you the most in 2023 and the long run. Save solely for the aim of having money in your savings and saving money targeted at investing.
Before you resume back to work, create a rough budget that works for you – and a plan for sticking to it. Budgeting tools like CountAbout can make this process as simple as possible. And rev up your shopping habits by reconsidering when and how you buy items for your house and family; you may be missing out on bargains.

2. Practice mindfulness and meditation
Anxiety may poke at everyone at any time and in any season, and it’s tempting to let the thought of the future or past events dictate the reality of the present. While meditation can relieve stress and acquire peace of mind. Practicing mindfulness entails doing all possible to be grateful for what you have right now, where you are in life, and who you are. According to Sabrina Romanoff, Psy.D., a clinical psychologist in New York City and a professor at Yeshiva University, and other top psychologists, committing to mindfulness can help you become a better person in less than a year.

3. Read more books
The time of the year is ideal for curling up with a new book. Why not connect with friends and peers to connect over the greatest pages you’ve read to hold yourself accountable all year? Our Good Housekeeping Book Club can help you get started, and together you’ll have a good idea of how many books you’ll end up finishing by the end of the year.

4. Reduce your alcohol consumption
You already know you don’t need to drink to have a good time, so why not make 2023 the year you cut back and join the sober curious movement? This can help with your emotions, sleep, skin, and immune system. It will also help you save money in the long run.
5. Commit to a better sleeping pattern
Many problems can be linked back to a bad night’s sleep. But there is so much more we can do to improve our bedtime. Developing a plan to enhance your sleep hygiene — the routines you maintain to obtain a good night’s sleep every night — may look different for everyone, depending on when you need to be active and working during the day.
Your brain truly relies on cues to manage your internal circadian rhythm, and your daily actions can interfere with these. As the year advances, start taking responsibility for your sleep.
If you have difficulties falling asleep, consider this research-backed suggestion: Take a warm bath! It helped folks fall asleep around 10 minutes earlier and sleep better. When is the greatest time to do it? According to most studies, about an hour or two before night

6. Find a hobby
Starting a new hobby is one thing but joining a group will allow you to meet new people. You can go on google to search for groups and individuals like you who share your interests, and you can work on building digital gatherings while making new acquaintances

Originally written for Kinktober 2023 - Day 8: Sex Pollen/Sexual Competition, inspired by @absurdthirst’s wonderful prompt list,
also on a03
3 ABY - Winter
It's day five of near-constant travel across the galaxy. You had worked on the way out, filling the carbonite, and now had nothing to do but return.
Yesterday, you had stopped for fuel and food. Taking the long range of bounties would pay off in the end; you had run the numbers, but for now, it meant things were a little tight. Mando never really lingered at the ports, but you hadn’t bothered to enjoy the market or the rusty crimson mountain range. The faster you got back, the faster you got paid.
It wasn’t as if you would starve. There were reserves; you both knew that. After it became clear neither of you were particularly interested in ending your arrangement, you shifted the way the profits were split in favor of a more communal fund for ship repairs, rations, and medicine. That budget was running low. But both Mando and you had your own caches of credits, earmarked for other purposes.
You regret the quick departure now. You wake up stiff and grouchy, like your body knew it missed out on a leisurely hike full of beautiful sights. After you drag yourself out of bed to stretch, you try to recover the day.
What for, though? There's nothing to do. You're over looking at the stars or the gray walls of the Crest. The datapad only held your attention for a minute or so before the tension in your chest built back up, and you tossed it to the side.
Getting out of bed proves to be another mistake. You burn your caf. When you try to dump it out, you spill a bunch on the floor and have to clean the whole galley to get the smell out. And when you go to rid yourself of the caustic odor and sticky residue, the fresher is exclusively sputtering cold water.
Fuck it.
You dry off and go back to the bunk, not bothering with clothes lest you rip your favorite shirt or trip and fall while putting on trousers. Seemed like the kind of thing that might happen.
You bury yourself in the covers and turn off the light, determined to sleep for the entire day and hope tomorrow was better.
Mando was elbow-deep in the wiring for most of the morning. A long trip was a good chance to update some of the non-critical systems. He was vaguely aware that you were up and puttering around the ship, and as much as he wanted to take a break and greet you, he knew he’d never be able to finish the job.
By the time he finishes and cleans up, securing the panel back to the wall, a couple hours have passed. But you aren’t in the hull eating lunch or fixing your jammed pistol. You aren’t curled up in your chair with a book. Even the refresher is empty (to his slight disappointment. He would have enjoyed the show).
It was unlike you to go back to bed. A deep frown settles as he makes his way to the bunk, and there you are, curled up on your side against the wall. He runs a bare hand up and down your leg, and you stir a little.
“Cyare, you okay?” he says.
“Uh-huh.” It was more of a groan than anything else.
“Are you sick?” His hand tightens a little on your calf, brow furrowing as he reaches up to feel your forehead.
You bat him away (or, at least, he thinks that's what you attempted to do. It was more of a weak flop of your hand before it fell back on the bed). “Nuh-uh. Sleepy. Bad morning.”
He settles on the edge of the bed. “Anything I can do for you, cyar’ika?”
“Nuh-uh. Lemme sleep.”
“Okay.” He sighs and slips back out of the bunk, but leaves the door open. The idea of closing you in there made something grind in his sternum.
He lets you sleep for another hour while he takes a quick rinse in the fresher before preparing a bit of lunch—or, technically, breakfast. Neither of you have eaten yet. At the market yesterday, while you were meticulously restocking and haggling with shopkeepers (he could practically see the credit-per-meal calculations crunching in your head), he had slipped a wrap of boiled tipyip, a crusty loaf of bread, fresh tubers, and a few fruits into the bag. With his own coin, of course, and insisted on carrying the bag.
The idea of you stressing over whether or not you’d have enough food made him physically ill. He trusted you to buy enough rations, but it was unusual for you not to buy at least a few fresh items. You were going to be on the ship for another four days.
Before working together, you had both lived that way. Bounty to bounty, ration to ration. But half the point of taking a partner was to have a better life. And while most of his credits went to making sure his people all had better lives, it hadn’t taken long to soften up with you around. He wanted to be soft with you around, or you’d spend every moment flinching away from the thorns you’d made your nest from.
Osik, he’d done the same thing, but he had the armor. The armor he’d been wearing a lot less lately. The past month or so, he found himself shedding everything but the helmet while you traveled. Never on land or at port, but hurdling through the frigid vastness, he preferred to feel your warmth.
Mando eats while he makes your plate and then, slipping his helmet back into place, climbs into the bed. He settles behind you and wakes you.
“S’it morning?” you mumble.
“No, but it’s time to get up.”
“No,” you whine and cover your head with the blanket.
He shakes his head, grinning beneath the mask. “I’m not asking, cyar’ika.”
You pull the blanket down to your nose and look up at him with big, sad eyes.
“Stop that,” he tugs at the blanket, “or are you trying to be a brat?”
You shake your head.
“C’mere,” he says, patting his lap. You scoot up so your back is against his chest.
“Open,” he says.
You obey immediately, but furrow your brows and strain your head back a little to see what he's up to, given that you are very much not in range of his cock.
He presses a berry into your mouth, which doesn’t seem to clear anything up for you, as you raise an eyebrow at him.
“Eat, cyar’ika,” he says, running a finger over your bottom lip.
You close your eyes for a moment as the juicy berry bursts on your tongue, and then you sit up and whip around to look at him. “Hey—” you started to scold.
“It didn’t come out of the budget,” he says, pulling you back down by the shoulder. A wave of affection spreads as you let him rearrange your body, despite your irritation.
You open your mouth to argue, but he fills it with a slice of longfruit before you can make a sound. You bite down on it like you wished it was his flesh, narrowing your eyes in challenge.
“I’m allowed to spend my credits however I’d like,” he reminds you, pressing a piece of stew-soaked bread to your lips just in case you got any ideas about speaking again. “If I want to spoil you, I can spoil you.”
You cross your arms across your chest but open your mouth willingly for the next bite. He brings his idle arm around yours, basking in the way you loosen a little, forehead smoothing over and exhaling softly.
“That’s it, cyar’ika, just let me take care of you.”
Once you had eaten a decent helping of everything, he brings his other arm around you and closes his eyes, resting his helmet in the crook of your neck.
“Are you still hungry?” he murmurs after a few moments of peace.
You shake your head. You're pleasantly full, warmed by the stew, and feeling lighter from the fresh meal. “Did you eat?”
He nods against your shoulder, wiggling you a little so you're nestled between his long legs, and sighs softly. You take the cue to close your eyes and lean your head against his chest, content to go back to sleep.
You should have known he had other plans when his hands started wandering, but to be fair, it was rare that you lay together without him idly fonding you. It didn’t always lead to anything; he just liked to keep you in a near-constant state of arousal through teasing.
“That way,” Mando had purred in your ear once when you whined, “you’re always wet and ready for me, cyar’ika. That way, I can just… bend you over and slide right in.”
You had nearly cum at the thought alone, and so, he continued to be an absolute menace.
Now, he helps himself to handfuls of your breasts and lazily rolls each nipple between a thumb and forefinger. You concentrate on your breathing, having learned well enough that if you let yourself get worked up too soon, he was more likely to laugh and walk away, to let you marinate in it until you were begging for him.
“Cyar’ika,” he says, pitched low and dangerous in a way that never fails to make you feel like prey. Uh-oh.
“Yes, sir?”
He grins at the tell-tale waver in your voice. “I’d like to try something.”
“Oh no,” you breathe, shuddering.
“Oh no?” he says. “You don’t want to try something? Is that why your poor, empty cunt is dripping all over the bed?”
You whimper and bury your face in your hands. He pries them away immediately, holding both wrists in one hand.
“Sorry, I’m sorry, sir,” you say, knowing how he hated it when you hid from him. You're squirming, now, and can feel his hard cock against your lower back.
“What do you say, cyar’ika? Can I use you? I think you’ll like it.”
You nod without hesitation, despite the way your heart rabbits against your ribcage. You had enjoyed everything he's done so far, but every time he starts with “I’d like to try something,” it usually involves something very intense.
“Let me help you forget all about your bad day.” His hand slides down to your cunt, and your hips buck involuntarily, trying to reach him. He snatches his hand away and laughs. “Be patient,” he warns, before cracking his hand down against your pussy.
You yelp and whine, a pout turning your lips down.
“None of that, sweetheart, or do we need to start with a spanking?” He's teasing, but you hesitate. “We can, if that’ll help.”
You nod, your hands twisting at the sheets to keep them from obscuring his view as you flush from your ears to your chest.
“Such a good girl, telling me what you need. Lay across my lap,” he scoots so his back is flush with the wall. He’s so proud he doesn’t even make you beg for it.
As you settle, he strokes the soft skin of your back, one broad hand splayed across your shoulder blades. “Count for me, baby,” he says before bringing his hand down across your ass.
The strikes are firm but not sharp. Your count comes out in soft moans. He watches as your skin reddens a little, the way your plump flesh bounces. His cock is straining against its linen prison. It was going to have to wait a while, too. He had too much self-control, and it certainly wouldn’t be fair to you if he got to take the edge off before starting his little game.
Not that it was going to be fair to begin with.
You’re sprawled now, limbs askew, head hanging off his lap with your arms dangling.
He pauses. “Are you seriously falling asleep?”
“No,” you lie. “It’s just so nice.”
Ooh, mistake, he thinks, and brings his hand down hard for the last hit. It has the desired effect as you yelp and startle from his lap, betrayal across your face.
“Out,” he said, gesturing to the door and pulling his legs from under you so you have to scramble to make room.
You eye him suspiciously when you land on your old bedroll.
“Something you want to say?” he says, digging around in a cabinet with his back to you.
“No, sir.” You bite your tongue and try to see what he’s doing.
“Sit down, impatient girl,” he scolds.
You sit, legs crossed. You thought about kneeling, but with no indication how long you’d be there, you decided to get comfy instead. It’s then that you notice the ropes on either side of the bedroll, neatly coiled. Waiting.
“Don’t touch,” he says as you reach to feel.
“How do you do that?” you say, flinching back and folding your hands in your lap.
He chuckles. “I know you, cyar’ika. Turn around and face the fresher for a minute.” When you’re settled, he sits down behind you and takes one of the ropes. “Can I tie you up, baby?”
“Please.” It comes out as more of a whine than you mean, but your every muscle aches to find out what it feels like.
“You just sit there and relax.” He pauses. “No sleeping.”
You snort and shake your head. There was no need to worry about that. You’re too wound up now.
He begins to wind the cords around you, softly explaining what he’s doing. You would have been fine just letting him work, but to your surprise, it’s nice to know what’s happening. It helps that his voice is so, so pretty. And soft.
As he ties the diamond harness around your chest, he brushes his hands against your breasts, and you can’t help but squirm. He lets you. You won’t be able to, soon, anyway. He ties it off and shakes some of the ropes, running his finger under them to make sure they aren’t too tight.
“Oh,” you whisper, reaching up to feel the knot against your sternum, cupping your cradled breasts, and following the rope up to where he’s woven it over and under your collar.
He lets you explore for a moment. “How’s everything feel? Any pinching or tingling?”
“No, sir.” Your voice is so quiet he can barely hear it over the hum of the mechanics.
“Hands together behind your head.”
You lift them up, fingers knit, and he adjusts them so your neck is cradled in your palms. “Is that comfortable? Think you’ll be alright with them there for a while?”
You hum.
“Cyar’ika. Need you to stay with me right now and use your words.”
You shake your head a little bit, trying to clear away the haze even though all you want to do is sink into it. “Yes, sir. And yes, I’m comfortable.”
“Good girl. Hold still.” He starts first with your arms, threading the rope around to secure your forearm to your bicep. He winds a cuff around each wrist and gathers your hair into one fist.
You moan, less in pleasure than in contentment, so he takes an extra moment to run his fingers through your hair, pulling it neatly back. He slides a loop around it and braids the excess through, tying the end and securing it to your wrists.
Your breathing is ragged. Every brush of his fingers is sparking straight to your cunt, your thighs damp.
“Relax, baby. I’m only halfway done,” he says. He helps you turn around and gently lowers you until you’re lying flat, face up.
He looks you up and down and scraps some of his plan. He had something more elaborate in mind, but he doesn’t want you to slip into subspace yet, and it doesn’t seem like you can fight it for long.
Instead, he takes one leg and bends it to your chest before tying it there. With the other, he bends it over a low rung of the ladder, and secures it so you’re spread and vulnerable. Finally, he takes the loose ends sprawling from under the bedroll and weaves them across your torso, crisscrossing until he’s satisfied.
He checks each tie meticulously, having you affirm your comfort, before he sits back on his haunches. “Move.”
“What?”
“Wiggle, baby. Squirm around.”
You try. When you find that you can only wiggle in place, but can’t actually get any distance, you moan.
“You like this, cyar’ika?” He doesn’t need to ask. Your cunt, spread wide for him, is soaked. But he likes to make you say it anyway.
“Yes, sir.” You’re flushed, but you couldn’t hide from him if you tried.
“Good girl. You ready to try my idea?”
You open and close your mouth a few times. “This isn’t it?”
“It’s part of it, baby. It’s preparation. But last night at the market, I found something very interesting.” He holds up a small canister. “There’s a plant that grows on the mountainsides there with a peculiar side effect, if inhaled. If I take this, I’ll be insatiable for hours.”
Your breathing is shallow, eyes wide as you stare at the little tin.
“Remember, cyar’ika. We don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. I won’t be upset with you if we don’t use it.”
“What’ll happen if we do?” You’re curious. “You’re already insatiable.”
“No, pretty girl. It’ll leave me hard. I’ll be able to cum over and over. Y’know, like you get to?”
“Oh. Yes, please.”
He laughs. “I was thinking we could play a little game. You like a little competition, right?”
“Uh-huh,” you nod, feeling a little suspicious again. You enjoy when he makes you suffer for his (and your) pleasure, but that doesn’t stop you from getting nervous.
“I want to see which one of us can make the other one cum more.”
“Oh,” that sounds fun, actually, so what’s the catch? “Wait. Hey, hang on. You tied me down.”
He laughs. When he’s like this, it’s just on the side of condescending that makes your clit throb. “You’ll have your mouth. And I’ll have everything else.”
“That’s cheating!”
He runs his hands over your breasts, pinching and squeezing. “That’s the point. Don’t worry, cyar’ika,” he strokes your cheek. “You kind of win either way, don’t you?”
He stands up. “It’s up to you. You say the word, and I’ll put this away. Plenty of other ways I can use you like this.”
You look up at him, a look in your eye he can’t quite place. “I want to.”
“Are you sure?”
“I trust you. And I want to make you cum. A lot.”
He grins. “Greedy thing. I’ll be right back, then.” He doesn’t want to open the container in the same room, doesn’t want to risk dosing you somehow. One of you has to be of sound mind for this, and he knows in his bones that if you use your safeword, he’ll stop. But he’s not sure you’d use it if you needed to, were you to ingest it.
It takes a few minutes, but by the time he returns to you, he feels warm all over. He had been half-hard already from groping you while you were tied up so prettily. But now, he aches.
“Can I blindfold you, cyare?” He’s breathing heavily.
“Please, sir,” you beg immediately, fairly certain of what that will mean. And you’re right.
As soon as the cloth is secure, you hear the soft hiss as he removes the helmet. He doesn’t make you wait, mercifully, pressing a soft kiss to your lips. You moan and try to lean up for more, but your tether doesn’t let you.
He smiles, you can feel it against your lips, and you think you might lose your mind. You need him. Now. But he backs away.
He shushes you when you whine at the loss of his warmth, and settles himself over you.
“Oh, stars,” you groan as you realize what’s happening. He lowers his hips, letting the tip of his cock brush over your lips as he bows his head and parts you with his fingers. He dips his cock into your waiting mouth just as he licks the first stripe from your clit to your cunt.
It kicks off a chain reaction. You moan around his cock, and the vibrations pull a moan from him, as well. When you try to take him deeper, you realize you’ve been thoroughly tricked. You’re completely at his mercy, can only have as much of him as he lets you. Meanwhile, he’s teasing a finger at your entrance and sucking softly on your clit.
Suddenly, he pulls away, but slides his cock deeper in your throat. “Oh, and you can cum whenever you want. You don’t need to ask right now.”
Fuck.
It doesn’t take him long to draw the first one out of you. He lets you have his cock the whole time, softly thrusting as you suck and work your tongue. When he finally slides a thick finger in you, all the way to the knuckle, you cum. He moans into your cunt, pushing his cock down deep into your throat. He knows you like to choke on it when you cum, which—you realize later—was actually evil. Because it knocks a second orgasm out of you as you gag and struggle.
He pulls almost completely out, moaning as you suck hard to try to keep the head in your mouth. “That’s two,” he says, but it breaks into another moan as you flick your tongue over the slit. “That’s it, pretty girl, I’m almost there.”
He resumes fucking you with his finger, sliding another one in for good measure. He isn’t going to fight his orgasm. It’s not like he needs to try to hold out, and you deserve to get what you worked so hard for. So he thrusts roughly into you and spills down your throat.
He expects you to count or tease.
But you don’t. You gasp out, “Thank you, sir,” before opening your mouth again to wait for him.
“Dank farrik, cyar’ika,” he groans. “You’re going to kill me.” He slides his still-hard cock back into your mouth, and the way you take him is rapturous.
He resumes licking and nipping at you, kissing and sucking bruises into your thighs. You don’t notice the particulars of what he’s doing. Everything is soft and blissful. You’re only vaguely aware when you cum again, a gentle, rolling thing that makes you shake all over.
The world around you has narrowed. You might be floating, but thankfully, Mando has tied you nice and tight, so you don’t have to worry about it. You always love his cock, but right now, you think you might die if he stopped fucking your face.
The exquisite pleasure is just on the right side of painful. There’s a rushing sound in your ears, like a waterfall. You lose count of how many times he rewards you with his cum, how many times you cum just from feeling him twitch and spurt down your throat. Your jaw aches, and you feel raw all over. It’s bliss.
By the time the drugs wear off, Mando thinks maybe, maybe he’s too old for this. His back aches, and his knees lock up. And he’s so, so tired. But he’s still warm all over, and you’re so soft and beautiful.
You whine when he pulls away, but it’s a weak, soft thing. You’re too far gone, too worn out for more. He gives you another kiss before sliding the helmet back on.
“Cyar’ika, I’m going to take the blindfold off now.” He’s turned out the lights in the hull, but the adjustment might be too much still.
“Mm.” Everything is too heavy to move.
He slips the cloth off your head and warns you to hold still.
As if you would move if you could. That would be so, so much work.
You barely notice as he slides the knife, cutting the rope away from your body. You’re both absolutely filthy, but he doesn’t care. Doesn’t even think about getting cleaned up. Instead, he lifts you up and somehow manages to ease you both into the bunk. He brings the canteen to your lips and makes sure you take slow, easy sips.
Running his hands gently over you, he both checks to make sure skin didn’t break and admires the ridges of the rope where they’ve been tattooed into you. You’re limp, curled toward him, and he thinks you’re already asleep.
But then you nestle closer, pressing soft kisses to his bare chest, and he’s overcome again by gratitude, by awe at what he gets to have with you.
“Hey,” you whisper, later into the night. He stirs a little, too groggy to open his eyes. “Who won?” you ask.
“No idea,” he murmurs, and pulls you back into his chest to sleep.
