"The New York City Council voted to ban most uses of solitary confinement in city jails Wednesday [December 20, 2023], passing the measure with enough votes to override a veto from Mayor Eric Adams.

The measure would ban the use of solitary confinement beyond four hours and during certain emergencies. That four hour period would be for "de-escalation" in situations where a detainee has caused someone else physical harm or risks doing so. The resolution would also require the city's jails to allow every person detained to spend at least 14 hours outside of their cells each day.

The bill, which had 38 co-sponsors, was passed 39 to 7. It will now go to the mayor, who can sign the bill or veto it within 30 days. If Mayor Adams vetoes the bill, it will get sent back to the council, which can override the veto with a vote from two-thirds of the members. The 39 votes for the bill today make up 76% of the 51-member council. At a press conference ahead of the vote today [December 20, 2023], Council speaker Adrienne Adams indicated the council would seek [a veto] override if necessary.

For his part, Mayor Adams has signaled he is indeed considering vetoing the bill...

The United Nations has said solitary confinement can amount to torture, and multiple studies suggest its use can have serious consequences on a person's physical and mental health, including an increased risk of PTSD, dying by suicide, and having high blood pressure.

One 2019 study found people who had spent time in solitary confinement in prison were more likely to die in the first year after their release than people who had not spent time in solitary confinement. They were especially likely to die from suicide, homicide and opioid overdose.

Black and Hispanic men have been found to be overrepresented among those placed in solitary confinement – as have gay, lesbian and bisexual people.

The resolution in New York comes amid scrutiny over deaths in the jail complex on Rikers Island. Last month, the federal government joined efforts to wrest control of the facility from the mayor, and give it to an outside authority.

In August 2021, 25-year-old Brandon Rodriguez died while in solitary confinement at Rikers. He had been in pre-trial detention at the jail for less than a week. His mother, Tamara Carter, says his death was ruled a suicide and that he was in a mental health crisis at the time of his confinement.

"I know for Brandon, he should have been put in the infirmary. He should have been seeing a psychiatrist. He should have been being watched," she said.

She says the passage of the bill feels like a form of justice for her.

"Brandon wasn't nothing. He was my son. He was an uncle. A brother. A grandson. And he's very, very missed," she told NPR. "I couldn't save my son. But if I joined this fight, maybe I could save somebody else's son." ...

New York City is not the first U.S. city to limit the use of solitary confinement in its jails, though it is the largest. In 2021, voters in Pennsylvania's Allegheny County, which includes Pittsburgh, passed a measure to restrict solitary confinement except in cases of lockdowns and emergencies. The sheriff in Illinois' Cook County, which includes Chicago, has said the Cook County jail – one of the country's largest – has also stopped using solitary confinement...

Naila Awan, the interim co-director of policy at the New York Civil Liberties Union, says that New York making this change could have larger influence across the country.

"As folks look at what New York has done, other larger jails that are not quite the size of Rikers will be able to say, 'If New York City is able to do this, then we too can implement similar programs here, that it's within our capacity and capabilities," Awan says. "And to the extent that we are able to get this implemented and folks see the success, I think we could see a real shift in the way that individuals are treated behind bars.""

Hello! I love your blog thank you for being such a good and comforting hub :) I just wanted to ask since you are so good at collecting good omens info, some friends and I have been trying to figure out a timeline for the book, like with all the mentioned dates and A&C meetings and canon events, etc, but we haven't been able to find one yet that doesn't also include all the stuff from the tv show. I figured I would ask somewhere big like here to see if you or your other followers have or have seen one before putting in all the work to make a new timeline myself! Thank u!

Hiya! :) Oooh, only book you say 🤔, I'm afraid I don't know only a book timeline, but perhaps someone who sees this does? :) <3.

(if you start doing you own then Adam and Warlock's birthday is August 20 or August 21 because on the same day as is the Warlock’s birthday party (Wednesday) Aziraphale and Crowley go to the manor where takes place ‘August 20-21: United Holdings [Holdings] PLC Initiative Combat Course’.)

Very happy you like the blog! :) <3

this song is so dodge mason coded... walk with me... let me present you with something...

when you'd first met dodge, you knew you wanted him as your first. your dad had hired him to help with some busy work around the church, and while dodge was neither particularly religious himself, nor interested in the way your father could turn anything into a sermon, he figured helping the man that was likely privy to everyone's thoughts and troubles could gain him some information.

what he had not anticipated was you coming up to him after a long day of getting the grassy yard beside the church set up for carp's easter breakfast.

what he had not anticipated was the way your legs kicked flowing white fabric forward, or how your fingertips felt over his as you handed him some water.

you could just tell, from the way his shirt hung from his shoulders and his adams apple bobbed, the way he thanked you in a voice full of distrust, that this was the boy for you.

he knew, vaguely, that you were the preacher's daughter. a little chaste, a bit more modest than most of the other girls your age. he'd once heard a guy make a joke in passing about getting 'struck down' being worth getting in your pants. and quite simply, that wasn't his speed. so he never thought much of you. until that afternoon.

now, dodge mason, who had been all but dubbed a recluse, was showing up for wednesday mass. who the fuck showed up for wednesday mass? dodge did. as long as he could sit next to you, letting you help lead him along during hymns, your fingertip drifting below the words long past the time he'd memorized them.

he even let you keep him after for a mini bible study each time, just the two of you discussing what had been on your mind regarding the book lately. he still didn't think he really believed in it all. but he liked the way you spoke about it, soft and kind and hopeful, a stark contrast to what he had experienced as religion in the south up until that point. until you.

so, yeah, when he asked your father for permission to take you out, you guessed you weren't too surprised. and you definitely didn't say no. he was respectful, always getting you back home on time, never going further than a few kisses and a hand on the waist or jaw. everyone else was a bit shocked, just to see the restraint. to see the way he'd soften his shell around you, letting you lean on him, talk to him all softly. even more shocked to see the way he'd do the same right back.

you supposed it didn't quite make sense. you'd known what he was like before, gruff and introverted, keeping to his family in terms of socialization. but then he took you home for the first time, and the moment you saw him with his mom and sister, it clicked. when he loved, he loved hard. and to introduce you to the most important people in his life? god, he must love you more than you ever could've guessed.

he didn't stay so restrained forever, easing you into longer kisses, then to makeouts, then to kisses on the neck and hands that wandered along your sides and arms. but they were never alone, always accompanied by an "is this okay?" or a "good?". and it always was.

once you were more comfortable, he became bolder, fingers slipping beneath fabric, tongue slipping between your lips and down your jaw. there were a few times you thought he might try and take it further, but it never turned to more than just heated makeouts. maybe he was trying not to scare you? you didn't know. but the way he groaned into your mouth before needing to cool off made you think when you finally did go all the way, it would be beyond passionate. borderline animalistic, you imagined. something you'd have to take your cross necklace off for.

but when you told him you were ready, the words dripping with implication, you could tell he was shocked. it wouldn't happen then. no, not when he hadn't prepared. not when he knew he couldn't give you all the time in the world.

and when it did, a week later, you never could've anticipated what it was. flickering candles sitting on his dresser and desk, fresh sheets, and flowers he'd handed you at the door. the faint smell of his cologne in the air, as if he'd sprayed some extra around the room earlier that day.

despite how long he'd waited, there wasn't even the smallest indication of a rush, not for the entire night. eagerness? yes. desire? most definitely. but through each and every step, dodge took as much time as he needed to treat you with the utmost care and consideration.

coming up behind you as you looked around his room, brushing soft kisses along the backs of your almost bare shoulders. gentle hands lifting the straps off of them, giving him full access to the typically-hidden expanses of skin.

he'd made sure the house would be empty for the weekend. he needed the time. needed to spend an hour just kissing you. just slowly uncovering every bit of you, not wanting to leave a single inch without reverent touch.

nothing had ever felt so right, regardless of what you may have been taught about premarital intimacy. "they have no idea what they're talking about", you thought as he held you, straddling his lap, stripped to your underwear, giggling softly as he kissed down past your cross necklace, the gold gleaming in the flickering candlelight. he laughed with you, his fingertips tracing deftly down your spine before slowly unhooking the clasp of your bra.

there was no way this could be wrong. there was no way this could be anything but holy, the way he looked in your eyes, the way he held you so carefully. this was goodness, this was God. what could be more sacred than this love?

you would both later describe it as a religious experience, in separate conversations, at separate times. that's exactly what it was. no need to take the necklace off. in fact, you couldn't imagine the experience without it. it belonged in that room, between the two of you.

it was in the way he hooked his fingers under the waistband of your panties, slowly pulling them off of you without ever breaking eye contact. it was in the way he kissed up your thighs, singing your praises, little whispers and breaths dancing across the tender flesh. this was his sacrament, getting his first taste of you, giving you your first taste of the rest of your life.

it was in the way he let himself come last, both literally and figuratively. it was in the way he let you look at him, hold him, observe him, before even thinking about spreading your legs again and settling between them. it was in the way he ran himself through your folds, making sure he was coated enough to not cause you even the slightest discomfort. it was in the way he held your hand next to your head, fingers interlaced, as he gently slipped in, asking how you were after every inch, making sure you were totally comfortable before letting a soft string of curses out through his lips.

and it was in the way he held you the whole time, made sure you knew how much he adored you every single second. there was no denying it anymore, if you ever could before.

every single minute of time he'd carved out for you, he spent worshipping you. even once he'd cleaned you up, even once the two of you had dressed again. until the second he had to drive you back home, he was holding you, kissing you, checking in on you, and loving you. making you feel as divine as the being that had brought the two of you together.

every single laugh, every single kiss, every single touch. that was what was holy.

Cowboy Take Me Away 🧡

I'm bringing you guys some sweet heat with this story! A little fluffy smut if you will 😏 Hangman had me all in my feels after Dynamite on Wednesday. (Let's be honest, he has me in my feels even when he's not on live TV) I was team no sleep writing this...there was no way I could stop until I finished the entire thing.

This is Hangman's world and we just live in it 😉

Word Count: 2.6k Divider by: Me 🙂

If you are not 18+ years old, please KEEP SCROLLING. Minors do not interact.

This story is NSFW or minors.

Disclaimers: Nightmare/bad dream, thunderstorm, mentions of blood, mentions of being injured/pain, unprotected sex. Read at your own discretion.

Your cowboy helps comfort you after the bad dream you just had...

You found yourself in a moment in time that you wish you could forget. Somehow you were ringside watching your cowboy maneuver his way around the squared circle. He wasn’t alone inside the ring; his opponent was nothing more than a dark shadow countering every move Adam threw at them with ease. The shadow quickly struck him down, laughing in his face while Adam writhed in pain.

When he was able to get to his feet, the shadow punched him right in the stomach knocking all the wind out of him. The shadow’s attacks grew stronger and more powerful, leaving your beautiful cowboy a bloody mess in the center of the ring. Despite not being able to defend himself, the dark shadow never let up! He continuously kicked Adam until there was no air left in his lungs. Your heart was hammering against your chest listening to him cry out!

You tried to stand but it felt as if there was an invisible rope tied around you, holding you in place. You tried everything you could to try and get to your cowboy! Suddenly there was a bright flash, its essence distracting you. Where was it coming from? Could production be having issues? Surely no one was taking pictures of this horrendous moment! You turned your head, eyes searching all around for the light’s source when a rumble echoed through the arena. You blinked and somehow you were outside, lost in a sea of people. You pushed your way through the crowd, eventually finding an opening. Your eyes landed on Doc Sampson pushing a stretcher towards a dark tunnel. At first you couldn’t make out who was lying on the stretcher until you noticed the familiar, crimson-stained curls and cowboy boots on the person’s feet. It was your cowboy!

You called out to him, “Adam? Adam! Please, wait! Don’t go, I need you!” There was another bright flash followed by a louder boom than the first one. Everyone around you started to run in a panic, pushing you farther and farther away from Adam. No matter how much you begged and pleaded, the swarm of people rushing by only ignored you. Your voice fell upon deaf ears the more you cried out for your Adam.

It was as if he was slipping right through your fingers, leaving you behind. A final bright flash appeared, this time shining brighter than the previous ones. It blinded you, forcing you to recoil at the intense lumens it immitted. Your bones felt like they were rattling under your skin as the ground beneath you quaked when a vicious rumble rolled through, ultimately bringing you out of your deep slumber…

You jolted up in bed, your breathing accelerated, and your body covered in sweat from your dream. The room was dark except for a few flashes of lightning that shined through your opened bedroom windows. Adam was sleeping peacefully next to you, blissfully unaware of the storm that was rolling in. Every window in the house was open, but they needed to be closed as soon as possible in case of a downpour.

“Baby, wake up,” you whispered against the shell of his ear.

You gently shook him, earning a groan from your sleepy cowboy. You planted your feet on the floor and headed towards the bedroom door, calling back to Adam.

“There’s a storm rolling in and all the windows are open. If you can close the ones on this side of the house, I’ll take care of the rest.”

By the time you were done, it had started sprinkling outside. The sound of rain usually calmed you, but you were still on edge after your dream. You stopped in the kitchen for a drink of water before making your way back to your bedroom. Adam was sitting up leaning against the headboard looking at his phone, his voice making you jump when it interrupted the quiet.

“There’s a lot of red on the radar right now. Might get a good storm or two here soon if it doesn’t break up before getting to us. If there’s any warnings that come about, the weather radio should go off and I’ll turn the volume up on my phone too just in case.”

You thanked him for letting you know as you walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind you. Your hands rested on each side of the sink and your head was bowed as you tried to shake yourself out of the funk you were in. Images from your dream flashed through your mind causing you to shiver when you remembered Adam lying motionless in the middle of the ring battered and bruised.

You splashed cold water on your face hoping it would somehow help rid yourself of the sound of your cowboy crying out in pain that played on repeat in your ears. You inhaled and slowly released a deep breath after drying your face and making your way back to bed.

Adam had turned on the lamp on his nightstand and as soon as the light reached your face, you knew you had been caught.

“Hey, what’s wrong sweetheart? Are you alright?” He asked tenderly.

You tried your best to keep your composure, but your voiced faltered when you lied through your teeth telling him that you were fine. Adam knew you better than you knew yourself, instantly seeing right through you.

He held his hand out to you, encouraging you to come over to him. You placed your hand in his and he gently tugged, signaling he wanted you to sit on his lap. Your leg swung over his thigh, allowing you to straddle him but you couldn’t bring yourself to look him in his beautiful eyes.

“Y/N, what’s going on? Did something happen? Talk to me sweetheart,” he softly pleaded.

With his finger under your chin, he lifted your face until your eyes were level with his, and you immediately got lost in them. You leaned into his palm after he gently placed it on your cheek, willing yourself to dig deep and find the courage to tell him about your dream.

“If you’re worried about the storm, I think we’ll be okay. The animals in the barn will be fine too. If you want me to check on them-”

You shaking your head “no” made him stop midsentence. “Then what is it? Tell me,” He begged as worry covered his handsome features.

“I-I had a terrible dream. It was awful Adam!” your voiced cracked when you spoke his name.

“Hey, hey. It’s okay, it was just a dream. I’m right here baby, everything’s okay! You’re safe and your dream is all over,” his hands cupped your face as he reassured you.

“It felt so real though! You were wrestling against some shadow figure that left you lying in the middle of the ring in a pool of your own blood. I tried to get to you and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t! Doc Sampson wheeled you away on a stretcher and I called out to you, but you didn’t hear me. It was like you slipped right through my fingers! The thunder ended up waking me,” you explained, which only left you feeling exasperated.

Adam pulled you closer to him, his strong arms wrapping themselves around your body and holding you tightly. His large hand rested on the back of your head, holding it in place as he nuzzled his face into your neck.

“I’m so sorry, sweetheart. That sounds awful! You have to know that would never happen though. Shadow figure or not, you know I’d kick its ass long before it even had a chance to lay a finger on me,” his joke caused you to chuckle as you pulled your head back and looked at his face once more.

“That’s more like it!” he praised, his smile causing you to smile bigger.

“Thanks baby, I needed that. I know it wasn’t real, but it was the type of dream that lingers even after you’re awake. It just kind of shook me to my core seeing you like that and not being able to do anything about it. Sure, I’ve seen you in countless Texas Death Matches and I’ve cared for you after all of them. Just something about my dream almost felt worse, you know?” Your fingertips traced along one of Adam’s larger scars he had on his chest as your mind started drifting again.

He grabbed your hand softly, stopping it in its tracks before bringing your fingertips to his lips. He began kissing each pad as you watched, “Adam…” fell from your lips involuntarily when he peppered tender kisses on the inside of your wrist. The more skin his lips touched rekindled the embers deep inside of you that always burned for him.

Your eyes watched as his mouth left a small trail of wetness in its wake, sending a shiver down your spine when your dampened skin was met with the coolness of the night air. You sighed slightly when his lips pulled away, your eyes instantly darting to his plump lips letting him know exactly where your mind was at now.

“Do you want to talk about it more, sweetheart?” Adam murmured just mere inches away from your face.

You shook your head no, but he wasn’t satisfied with that response. “Tell me what you want, baby. Tell me what I can do to make you feel better,”

He brushed his nose ever so slightly up against yours, making you forget how to form words for a few seconds. He waited patiently for your answer, sighing with relief when you finally spoke.

“No, Adam. No more talking. Please, make me forget about what happened. Set me free from the thoughts that cloud my mind…”

Your hands snaked around to the back of Adam’s neck as the two of you looked deeply in each other’s eyes. The sexual tension was thick in the air, almost crackling with electricity. Adam closed the gap between you, his kiss laced with passion and full of want and need. You could see the flash of lightning through your closed eyes and jumped when the sound of the thunder roared.

“It’s alright sweetheart, I’ve got you.” Adam reassured you.

His length hardened underneath you as your hips rocked against it the more he kissed you. The roughness of his calloused hands on your delicate skin made you shiver when they slid underneath your nightgown. He effortlessly removed it, leaving your top half completely bare. Adam was only wearing his pajama bottoms and underwear, which still felt like too much clothing!

Your fingers slid under the waistband of his pants making little goosebumps appear all over him. He stopped your hand once again and purred into your ear.

“Not yet, angel. I want to take care of you right now,”

In one swift move, he scooped you in his arm and laid you down on the mattress. His body weight pressed you into the bed as he massaged your breasts with his hands. Your breathing accelerated when he whispered against your collarbone.

“You’re so God damn beautiful. My own little slice of Heaven,”

Adam started kissing a trail down your body, covering every square inch of skin he could with his tongue and lips. He whispered sweet nothings against it, the hum of his voice sending soundwaves right to your throbbing clit.

Every touch, every caress was intentional, perfectly placed on your body as your sweet cowboy descended in between your legs. With a smile on his face, he hooked his fingers under the lace of your panties and slid them down your legs until you were able to kick them off.

He spread your legs wide, opening you up fully to him before diving in and devouring your sweetness. Adam peered up at you as his tongue swirled and flicked against your little bundle of nerves, causing you to cry out his name, “Adam! Yes! Th-that feels s-so good!”

He knew you were on the brink of orgasming, quickly grabbing hold of your legs, pulling you even closer to his face. He was completely consumed by your sweetness, humming against it completely enchanted with the feeling of you unraveling on his tongue.

Your release ripped through you as you came, you swore you saw stars! With your legs still shaking, Adam kissed your inner thigh and stood up revealing his throbbing cock straining against his pajamas. You laid there trying to steady yourself as you watched his every move.

The rain outside had really started to come down, thunder could still be heard off in the distance. Lightning flashed, brightening the room, giving you the perfect view of your cowboy at the foot of the bed stroking his hard cock. Pre cum glistened on his tip, making his arousal even more evident. Adam crawled back on to the bed and positioned himself in between your legs again, the tip of his cock resting at your entrance.

His breathing was unsteady as he spoke quietly into the night.

“You are my dream come true Y/N. My world begins and ends with you. No matter how many dark shadows I have to fight off, I will always be by your side,”

The wind started to pick up outside, rustling the trees and blowing through your bedroom windows, making the sheer curtains adorning them drift in the air as if they were feathers. A clap of thunder immediately followed a stand of crackle lightning that shot off in multiple directions, causing your house to lose power. Now it was nothing but you, your cowboy, and the rainstorm.

Adam eased his way inside you, taking his time sliding in and out as your walls adjusted to his size.

“You’re so tight, angel. Y-you feel incredible,” he stammered as he was getting completely consumed by bliss.

The smell of the freshly fallen rain danced around the room and the sounds of your moans filled the quiet in between the rumbles of thunder. Each time the lightening gave Adam a glimpse of your face, he let you know just how beautiful you are.

“I love the way you look at me as I glide in and out of you. You’re the m-most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen…”

Adam made slow, sweet love to you, savoring every moment. His blonde curls tickled your face when they fell around it every time he leaned down to kiss you. He continued his slow but meaningful thrusts leaving both of you panting and voices raspy.

Adam was nurturing your mind, body, and soul this way, making your bad dream nothing but a distant memory now. His length filled you to the hilt, hitting every spot inside you, leading the way for your body to find its release. You couldn’t help but cry out his name when you finally succumbed to him.

“Adam, ohhh my God…Adam!”

“I’m right there with you angel,” he moaned.

As you fell apart all over his cock, your juices intertwined with his as he orgasmed with you. Your bodies quaked and trembled against one another, the pleasure shooting through your veins like hot molten lava. Every nerve in your body came alive, pure ecstasy radiating from you as each new wave of pleasure crashed against you.

“S-so beautiful…” was all Adam could manage to say. He brushed the hair off your forehead that found itself stuck there due to the sweat that blanketed your entire body.

The storm outside calmed, just like the one that had gone through your mind earlier. Sleep overtook both of you as you fell asleep in each other’s arms.

Your cowboy was your calm before and after every storm, always walking beside you and being your guiding light, leaving all shadows in the dark where they belong.

Healthy/Unhealthy Type 5

Healthy Social 5

Milo Thatch (5w4 so/sp)- he rejects allot of the traditional notion about the E5 we usually see. He is open about his feelings and is extremely extroverted, always eager to share his knowledge . He is always able to express how he feels and live in the moment.

Barbara Gordon (5w6 so/sx)- Even at her lowest Barb is always capable of thinking of solutions. She's always there for the team and always open to helping others.

Unhealthy Social 5

Doctor Doom (5w4 so/sx)- I was very close to typing him as an SO3 but honestly after paying a bit more attention it's very clear he is an SO5. Dooms whole idea revolves around outsmarting Reed Richards and proving he is his superior drives him into obsession and isolation.

Beth Harmon (5w6 so/sp)- Her desire to be the best at chest drives her to obsession and as the series goes on we see her disintegrate towards 8 and eventually moving back to her normal self.

Healthy Self-preservation 5

Peter Parker TASM (5w6 sp/sx)- This version of Peter Parker is more focused on the look for knowledge and understanding. He is a bit less focused on the external world but rather his own personal understanding of his family. However he never rejected others and always stayed

Wednesday Adams (5w4 sp/so)- While she can be looked at as detached from others. In the second movie we see a Wednesday who clearly has her heart in the right place. She is caring and always looking for the vest for her family.

Ellie Chu (5w6 sp/so)- At the beginning of the film we see her reduce her self as much as possible trying to go by unnoticed. but as the movie goes on we see her become more open about her feelings and stop being afraid of creating connections with others.

Healthy Sexual 5

Simon Petrigrof (5w6 sx/sp)- In the beginning of F&C we meet back with him completely sad and focused on getting Betty back. He has comply withdrawn from others and grew to believe he didn't have ay value outside of getting with Betty. In the end of the show we see him make peace with Betty and moving on.

James (EOFW) (5w4 sx/sp)- He spent allot of time detached from others and due to this he believed he has APD. However when Alissa finds him they become close and form a bond that couldn't be broken. While their Journey has consequences they were able to come together to figure out in the end.

Chicago, P.1 (A Louis Tomlinson Fanfic)

After two years of recovering from an abusive relationship, you're finally dipping your toes back into the dating world—thanks to the relentless encouragement of your best friend. Swiping through a dating app, you stumble across a profile that catches your interest: Louis. Charming, cheeky, and refreshingly genuine. The connection and chemistry are instant. Louis becomes your guide to rediscovering yourself and gaining self-confidence. Together, you navigate trust, communication, and intimacy, all while unraveling the parts of yourself you’ve kept hidden for far too long. (CW: Mature, non-detailed mentions of abuse)

Tuesdays truly are the worst day of the week.

Some would say Monday, but at least on Monday, you’re feeling rested from the weekend. Wednesdays, you can celebrate because you’re halfway through the week. Thursday, the day before Friday. And then Friday, of course.

But Tuesday? A truly awful day of the week.

This is what goes through your brain as you sit in a conference room, being lectured to about sales quotas, or something like that - you’re obviously a little tuned out. Your phone buzzes in your pocket, and you glance at it quickly under the table. A notification from that new dating app you downloaded. You roll your eyes.

After the meeting ends, you head back to your desk and look a little more closely at the notification. It reads, “someone liked your profile - match now!”

You ignore the notification - that app is such a waste of time.

After a couple more hours of boring desk work, you can finally clock out. You grab your purse and head for the train. As you walk out of work, you receive a text from your best friend, Jen.

Got us a table, chips and salsa on the way :) c u soon

You get to the train station and hop on the Red Line to meet her for happy hour. When you arrive, Jen is sitting at a table waiting for you. You wave at her from the entrance and go over to the table, slinging your purse over the back of the chair and sitting down.

“Oh my god, Jen,” you say, chuckling. “How are we going to finish this entire pitcher of sangria?”

“Listen, it’s Thirsty Tuesday,” she replies. “And I know how much you love sangria.”

“You’re thinking of Thirsty Thursday, I think,” you say, laughing. “But I love the spirit.”

You pour yourself a glass of sangria and take a chip out of the basket on the table. You and Jen clink your glasses together, both saying, “cheers!”

You order some more appetizers, and, as the server leaves your table, Jen asks, “so... any luck on that dating app?”

Rolling your eyes, you reply, “no, all the guys on there are either ugly or douche bags.” You take a sip of your drink. “It’s honestly a waste of time.”

Jen, a little tipsy, encourages you, “you just need to keep looking!”

“I think I’m good,” you reply, rolling your eyes again.

She places a hand on your shoulder and says, “you can’t swear off love forever, dude. It’s been two years since you left Adam.”

Anger rises in your body just hearing that name. What a piece of shit.

“Yeah, and I’m happier than I’ve ever been, Jen,” you reply, irritation in your voice. “I’m perfectly happy on my own. I’d rather be single for the rest of my life than ever risk going through something like that again.”

Jen can see the tears welling up in your eyes and places a hand on your shoulder. “Hey, I’m sorry. I’m not trying to pressure you,” she says, “I just want to see you with someone who makes you happy. You deserve that.”

Wiping a tear, you reply, “thanks, Jen.”

After finishing your pitcher of sangria and appetizers, you and Jen walk to the train and get back on the Red Line. You get off on your stop, giving Jen a hug. “Love you, text me when you make it home safe.”

You walk to your apartment building and unlock the front door. After grabbing your mail, you walk upstairs and open the door to your apartment. Your cat, Eddy, greets you at the door as you flip on the lights.

You take a shower, brush your teeth, and get settled into bed, Eddy laying at your feet. You check your phone, scrolling mindlessly on social media. Maybe it’s because you’re tipsy from the sangria, or maybe you’re just genuinely curious - you open the dating app. You check your messages. A long list of men’s names with messages like “hey sexy” and “wanna fuck” underneath. You are about to close the app when you see one message that catches your attention. The message reads:

Hey beautiful, hope you’re having a great day :) I have a very important question for you

You check the profile, some guy named Louis. He’s pretty cute, and your interest is piqued. You reply,

I’ll bite, what’s your question?

Within seconds, he starts typing. He responds,

Team Edward or Team Jacob?

           she’s surprised to see another youthful face inside the tavern. the clientele is usually comprised of much older individuals, and those worn from war, labor or even from years in the sun. lexa’s CURIOSITY grows to the point it’s nearly impossible to avoid eye contact and at that point, the stranger approaches. wisps of smoke emerge from the bowl of her pipe, now set aside on the table. a brow is arched at the young woman’s words.  the warrior lets the coins pass between her fingers, studying the texture. “ is this your way of telling me to mind my business? ” there’s an inkling of a smirk on her face. she takes note of the girl’s neutral expression and how it doesn’t seem to waver. “ when you stick out like a sore thumb, you’re bound to turn heads. ” compared to the other patrons, the girl appears almost ghostly. just what is her story, exactly?

They're Fucked Your Honour

HELLO HELLO. 'Tis another Wednesday. For real this time. I was tagged by the always lovely @thequeenofthewinter and my victims this time are . . . @umbracirrus @yewphoric and. I'm blanking. FUCK. Well if you want to join in on the fun tag me so I can see all of your lovely words >:3c We're getting to a point where my girls are consistently finding amusement in each other and it's. Fantastic. ALSO Isran's back!! THAT'S RIGHT WE'RE BACK AT FORT DAWNGUARD!!!! It's like coming back home ;w; For how long, that's for me to know and you to find out c: Enjoy!!

“I thought I told you not to come back here without Agmaer.”

Vigdis crossed her arms and raised a brow. “You never said I couldn’t come back without him.”

Isran pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed deeply. They stood in the main rotunda, where several workers bustled about. It appeared that the Dawnguard finally had the funds—and the time—to create the image of a more proper fort. Many had brooms to sweep away the dirt and cobwebs, while others unpacked boxes, and more still replaced or mended the moulted banners.

“Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t just throw you out right now,” the Dawnguard leader growled. Vigdis wordlessly fetched the report Agmaer had written and held it out to Isran. He quirked a dark brow as he cautiously took it from her freckled hand. “What is this?”

“The good reason,” Serana quipped smartly.

Vigdis pressed her lips together to disguise her smirk. Isran merely glowered in return, then unravelled the parchment. His silver eyes scanned the document for several long moments; his stoic expression gave nothing away. Finally, he huffed in exasperation and tucked the report away.

“I suppose it’ll have to do,” he grumbled. “Fine. You can stay—but only because he was so damn adamant about it.” His gaze narrowed subtly. “Guess it’s a good thing you’re back anyway. Florentius wouldn’t stop asking about you.”

“Where is he?” Serana asked.

“Upstairs.” Isran paused. Uncertainty flickered briefly over his face. “After you’re done, tell him to come find me. I need a word with him.”

Final Venus flyby for NASA's Parker Solar Probe queues closest sun pass

On Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2024, NASA's Parker Solar Probe will complete its final Venus gravity assist maneuver, passing within 233 miles (376 km) of Venus's surface. The flyby will adjust Parker's trajectory into its final orbital configuration, bringing the spacecraft to within an unprecedented 3.86 million miles of the solar surface on Dec. 24, 2024. It will be the closest any human-made object has been to the sun.

Parker's Venus flybys have become boons for new Venus science, thanks to a chance discovery from its Wide-Field Imager for Parker Solar Probe, or WISPR. The instrument peers out from Parker and away from the sun to see fine details in the solar wind.

But on July 11, 2020, during Parker's third Venus flyby, scientists turned WISPR toward Venus in hopes of tracking changes in the planet's thick cloud cover. The images revealed a surprise: A portion of WISPR's data, which captures visible and near infrared light, seemed to see all the way through the clouds to the Venusian surface below.

"The WISPR cameras can see through the clouds to the surface of Venus, which glows in the near-infrared because it's so hot," said Noam Izenberg, a space scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland.

Venus, sizzling at approximately 869 degrees Fahrenheit (about 465 C), was radiating through the clouds.

The WISPR images from the 2020 flyby, as well as the next flyby in 2021, revealed Venus's surface in a new light. But they also raised puzzling questions, and scientists have devised the Nov. 6 flyby to help answer them.

The Venus images correspond well with data from the Magellan spacecraft, showing dark and light patterns that line up with surface regions Magellan captured when it mapped Venus's surface using radar from 1990 to 1994. Yet some parts of the WISPR images appear brighter than expected, hinting at extra information captured by WISPR's data. Is WISPR picking up on chemical differences on the surface, where the ground is made of different material? Perhaps it's seeing variations in age, where more recent lava flows added a fresh coat to the Venusian surface.

"Because it flies over a number of similar and different landforms than the previous Venus flybys, the Nov. 6 flyby will give us more context to evaluate whether WISPR can help us distinguish physical or even chemical properties of Venus's surface," Izenberg said.

After the Nov. 6 flyby, Parker will be on course to swoop within 3.8 million miles of the solar surface, the final objective of the historic mission first conceived over 65 years ago. No human-made object has ever passed this close to a star, so Parker's data will be charting as-yet uncharted territory. In this hyper-close regime, Parker will cut through plumes of plasma still connected to the sun. It is close enough to pass inside a solar eruption, like a surfer diving under a crashing ocean wave.

"This is a major engineering accomplishment," said Adam Szabo, project scientist for Parker Solar Probe at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

The closest approach to the sun, or perihelion, will occur on Dec. 24, 2024, during which mission control will be out of contact with the spacecraft. Parker will send a beacon tone on Dec. 27, 2024, to confirm its success and the spacecraft's health. Parker will remain in this orbit for the remainder of its mission, completing two more perihelia at the same distance.

The Pas De Deux Cobbler A/N: Just rewatched Barbie and the 12 Dancing princesses and oh my goodness so hilarious, but like the love interest was perfect. Barbie told him to do something and he understood the assignment and delivered thus, assisting in saving the king. Anyway there’s one single character that would fit this role of royal cobbler so well!

————— The Kingdom of Aires was pleasant, always jubilant and filled with all kinds of exciting festivities to bring the townspeople together all throughout the year - and 12 royal birthdays definitely made for the most exciting of kingdom celebrations. You were 1 of the 12 Princesses of Aires and most of your days were spend roaming about the castle grounds with your sisters, all of you spending hours enjoying the art of dance just as your mother did before she passed. And in order to dance you’d have to commission special dancing shoes from the royal cobbler: Izuku Midoriya. Izuku Midoriya was a strapping young man - built like the finest warrior and had the same analytical mind to compliment his physique. Those emerald green eyes always turning gears behind those thick green eyebrows- the little wrinkle between them as he voiced everything out loud. And in your opionion he could have joined the Aires Army, your father always offering him a position when he’d come stop round the castle for work. Except that Midoriya always declined those hands scarred from years of learning his trade humbly declining. He was a delight around the castle, employing great use of his lopsided dimples and boyish charm to help wrangle your sisters into rapt attention for their shoe fittings.

His family had lived in Aires and had worked for your family ever since the early days of the kingdom; and he’d always arrived the first Wednesday of the month to come do proper fittings for you and all your sisters. Toting a giant oaken chest in his well-built arms always rolling a freckled shoulder clad in a thin chemise dress shirt and his green tailored jacket - buttoned up to the top, just under his thick neck and adam’s apple. The ruffled collar of his always revealing a surprising bloom of a ravishing pink blush dusting across the apples of his cheeks and searing against the back of his neck whenever he kneeled to do your fitting.

Izuku always placed your bare foot against the top of his muscular thigh and you’d shove your palms underneath your dress so as to not squirm at the warm contact seeping into your skin. You’d stare at his head of wild green curls as he’d undo the knot of silky ribbons with his big hands - with the utmost care - and he’d take that same utmost care when he’d take your foot in hand. Gently holding your heel in his palm, his index finger pressed against the taught muscle of your achilles heel, as his calloused fingertips brushed over the top of your foot, sliding the shoe on. And despite your protests of being able to lace up your own dance slippers he’d simply deny with that boyish grin and wrap them around your ankle with the perfect amount of slack.

And then he’d languidly move onto the second shoe making idle chatter about the village as you stared down your nose and bit your lip. Until he’s finish and stand to his full towering height and offer you a warm hand. And you’d shift your buttocks and pull out your clammy hand from underneath your helping of skirts and take his hand - grabbing onto his forearm like a banister before testing them out. One hand curled against your bodice while you relevéd and passéd in place. Izuku’s attention never leaving your ankles of the gorgeous set of f/c slippers he made you. Always adorned with a special silken flower that’d he’d have to have gained from the local taylor. Each and every design of embroidery or embedded jewels as intricate as they’d come by any cobbler in all the kingdoms and he’d do it to shoes that’s you’d wear out like no other.

You’re sure Izuku Midoriya would be feed up with you by now, if it wasn’t for the way he’d look up and lock eyes with you after it all. His strong square jaw chinning at your slipper clad feet and the lovely tiled floor before offering his other hand asking. “Care to have a partner and give them a proper test, Princess?” And of course you had no other option but to oblige taking his hand and dancing with the worlds secret-best pas de deux partner and most handsome cobbler.

Will there be a family Halloween costume or is PJ doing her own thing now?

They’re definitely doing a family costume again! PJ’s favorite reason for having brothers is the annual Halloween possibilities ☺️

They’re gonna be a variation of the Adams Family this year because Peyton wants to be Wednesday since she loved that show.

PJ as Wednesday, E-man as Pugsley, Gavi as Uncle Fester, and they’re trying to figure out how to make baby Gavi into Cousin Itt.

C and T are going to play along too. They’re still brainstorming.
