"Just take him out for a test drive."
... was what your boyfriend had said to you a few days ago when you asked what you and him should do next in regards to the man you've both had your eyes on for the past couple of months. Shidou Ryusei, Number 13, center forward for your boyfriend's team and one of Japan's best strikers to date currently. It's hard to miss him and Sae's chemistry on the field, seeing how fluid they move together and how the ball just migrates so naturally toward them. To a more keen eye, it's even harder to miss how eccentric Shidou is around Sae, always prying for his attention and his praise like a dog to its master.
Sae would tell you about him when he comes home to your shared apartment, sighing about how the "Devil Boy" did this or that the "Horny Devil" did that. His tales of the infamous Number 13 would make you giggle at first over dinner, but when Sae told you that Shidou had found out about your existence and that Sae could just see that mischievous glint in Shidou's eye that Sae has gotten accustomed to when he showed the midfielder your Instagram account, you couldn't help but dabble yourself into this little... incident.
It was innocent at first—just making sure that Shidou knew that you were, in fact, real, by tagging along to Sae's practices and games more than you usually did. Then the touches began. Small and brief at the beginning, just giving his chest a congratulating tap after a win post-game with the team. Then you and him lingered around more, his legs not moving when yours accidentally bump into his; or perhaps Shidou would spot you and give you a large hug, welcoming you to the game and telling you to wish him and Sae good luck.
Then he'd raise the stakes a bit. Instead of a hug, he'd hold your hand in his own and kiss your knuckles, giving you a charming wink from below and peeking to see Sae's reaction (Shidou would twitch excitedly if Sae did as much as raise a brow). Or if Sae wasn't around, he'd hold your waist whenever he was escorting you out somewhere, just so he could "keep you safe, doll."
It all came hailing down one night after the last game of the season, where you and Sae invited Shidou out for dinner. Just the three of you.
In an addition to adding another glorious win to his soccer record, you and Sae offered Shidou another chance at upping his gluttonous pride.
"We want you to be a part of us," Sae stated simply, holding your hand and stroking the knuckles that Shidou had kissed upon his arrival at the private booth of the restaurant.
You laughed aloud so prettily at Shidou's confused look, one that you and Sae barely saw since Shidou was nothing less of overconfident.
"What Sae means is," you slide your empty hand over and beckon Shidou's own to join yours, you being the weaving connection between you, Sae, and Shidou. "we want to be a part of our relationship. If that's something you're interested in."
Shidou's magenta eyes had widened so large at the offer before a wicked smile preyed upon his lips, his tongue darting out to lick them. A soft giggle escaped you while Sae's lip quirked ever so slightly, his eyes deepening intently at the sight of his beloved and his dog getting along so well to his satisfaction.
You made sure to tip the housekeeper of the hotel you all stayed at extra heavily after you exited it with dazed looks on all your faces the morning after, legs feeling a little weaker than they were when you first came in.
A week later, Sae said you should get to know him better on a more intimate level. One less of an acquaintance and more of a partner considering you'll be around him much more now that he was woven in your life as more than just Sae's teammate. Sae saw him on a near day-to-day basis, so he took the opportunity when his parents asked him to come home one evening to leave you and Shidou alone to better yourselves with each other personally.
What he didn't expect was that you and Shidou just seem to hit things off a little too well.
You gasp aloud when you feel the tilt of Shidou's fingers curl upwards inside you, the hook of them sending a spark throughout your body. Nerves on fire, teeth go to bite your lip hard enough to draw blood as your body doubles forward limply. "Don't—!"
Shidou's arm around your waist tightens, making sure you stay upon his lap to ensure the closeness between you and him was uninterrupted. He peppers a slow trail of kisses on your shoulder blade, iconic smirk tattooing itself on your skin. "'Don't' what?"
Your legs that hang over Shidou's widen apart when he expands his own. Head lolling back to his shoulder, a heavy and ragged breath escapes you and you feel his fingers start to slowly pump again with their new position from inside you. The sparking sensation floods your body—more continuous, more rhythmic this time. The pleasure that came with every torturous more exponential than the last, especially as the pressure that Shidou applied rather than the speed of it seemed to be more effective than what you were used to.
"Don't... ah, tease," you mumble weakly, one of your legs twitching when Shidou's thumb adds to the play, tracing a pattern on your clit.
"Thought you wanted to take this nice and slow, doll," Shidou whispers in your ear, smirk in his voice nothing less of evident. "Just wanna break you in first before I truly break you. If you catch my drift, hm?"
Shidou's chuckle just barely registers in your ears, your mind muddled with the sensation that rocks your body. He suddenly quickens his fingers and your spine jolts. You let out a cry as you squirm in his lap again before his fingers slow down to the normal pace again. A whine pulls from your cracked throat, dry from the huffing and gasping.
"Ngh," you bite your warbling lip again, tears pricking your eyes as Shidou pulls his fingers out of you briefly... before jutting them in again and pumping... and then pulling out once more, empty air hitting your core. "No..."
"You don't like it?" Shidou teases, coy faux in his tone. "You like it the old way?"
The rapid nod of your head makes him bare his pearly whites widely. Who knew Sae's girl could end up so pathetic and needy? Shidou wonders if you and him are just like this alone, considering he was the one pampered that night in the hotel as an introduction to you and Sae. One of the best—if not, the best—nights of his life, dare he say. Just thinking back to when Sae's hands were around his cock as you kissed him hotly, silk sheets rustling about, made his pants tighter. He thinks of himself as spoiled, truly. The two people he's always wanted now equally by his side, giving him all the drive that he needs to amp up his body to explode in full.
Shidou's unoccupied hand goes to carefully take off your delicate underwear, noticing the evident wet patch on the fabric caused by you earlier.
"You don't mind if I keep these, do you?" he hums when he presses a kiss to your hot cheek when he tucks it away. "It'll be a little souvenir from my cute girlfriend."
Oh how it feels so right when the word spills from his lips—calling you his. Shidou supposes it's the guilt that was bubbling inside of him for so long since he first laid his eyes on you, a taken woman; not only that, but one of his best bud's woman (though, Shidou thinks there's some blurriness between him and Sae's relationship since both parties knew damn well there was more than just that, especially when Sae's eyes would linger a little too long at his bare, tanned, sweaty skin in the locker room). He reveled in it, though, feeling an excitement brew at the guilt that conjured whenever he'd look at you with a swirl of want as you reflected nothing back but innocence.
God, how he just wanted to absolutely ruin you.
And now a divine power has given him the chance to, and Shidou is sure as hell making sure he's never letting this chance go.
"How does Sae do it, dolly?" Shidou mutters, watching his slicked fingers come in and out of you before he pulls them out completely, a stickiness webbing them to his delight. His other hand goes to grab your wrist and position it where his other was once was. "Go on, show me."
Your lips tremble.
"I don't know..." you murmur weakly. Sae fingered you as skillfully as Shidou did, though in a different artform. Where Shidou was teasing, Sae gave everything and anything all at once, enjoying bringing such a pleasure to you as quick as possible to pile them together. But you were always wrapped up in trying not to pass out to notice how he toyed with you. "I can't remember..."
Shidou clicks his tongue and juts out his bottom lip mockingly. "Aw, poor baby doesn't get fingered enough by her boyfriend?"
You shake your head. "No! Sae does, I just... don't know how he does it."
There's a strike of arrogance that comes about Shidou.
"Maybe he's not doing it well enough then," he says with a dry laugh, even though he knows those long, pale fingers of Sae's could and have done some damage.
You whip your head around, brows knitted with just the cutest little pout Shidou has ever seen bestowed on your glazed lips.
"He does!" you insist hotly to his delight, seeing a new side of you that fires him up. "Sae just—a-ah..."
Shidou cuts you off before you pick a fight with him, not liking how your attention turned to your boyfriend and not your new plaything, creeping his fingers back inside of you to distract you. His other hand from around your waist grabs your face and combines his and your lips, your whimpers being swallowed by him.
"I was just kidding, sweetness, " he laughs lowly as you whine. "I know Sae would never let his girl go empty like that. You guys have been together for how many years now?"
"Four," you sigh out when you and him separate, a string of saliva connecting you and him. "... and a half."
Shidou whistles, grinning. "Looks like I have some catching up to do then."
He goes back to massaging your insides, letting you get used to the feeling again in contrast from the emptiness you felt earlier briefly. Your eyes flutter shut and your body relaxes against his touch, chest heaving up and down in a steady beat as you absorb his fingers. There's a peace that overflows your body when you fully meld into the accustomed pleasure, but it doesn't last long because you feel another constraint inside yourself that makes your back arch, a strangled sound coming out of your throat.
"Oopsies," Shidou singsongs, glancing down at the three fingers stuffed within you. "My finger slipped."
"Ryusei—!" you hiss. You want to cuss him out, tell him that he should at least warn you beforehand, but the violent thrusting of his fingers that hit your threshold again and again and again make you lose and tumble over your words, Shidou's true nature finally beginning to peek out.
Your legs warble. The tips of your fingers are on fire. Your toes curl erratically as you near your first limit.
"Ahh," Shidou hums pleasantly, in contrast to the fierce pulsing of his fingers entering and exiting you, a whiteness embellishing itself between his digits to his satisfaction. Your chest heaves rapidly again, eyes shutting tightly and jaw gritting as you try to find the unbinding of the coil that builds up inside of you. "You like this, though, don't you?"
"Please...!" you heave out weakly. "S-slow down... or I'll—"
Your sentence ceases to finish, a broken moan falling from your lips when his pace quickens again.
"Hm?" Shidou cocks his head to the side, falsely ignorant to the buildup you've been collecting. "You'll 'what', angel?"
"I'll c—oh my God... I'll..." you hesitate, your body shocking itself with a seemingly limitless bliss when Shidou's thumb returns into the play. "Ryusei, please!"
"Huh? Use your words, lovely," he murmurs into your ear, smirking widely again when your head falls forward limply right before it jerks back onto his shoulder, a silent cry exiting your lips. "I'll give you want you want. You just gotta tell Ryu, yeah? C'mon now."
You sob out miserably, fingernails digging into his bicep that balances you on his lip. "I'm gonna come—!"
Shidou's eye twitches and he bites his lip. "Oh are you, now?"
"Yes," you gasp out, "yes! Just please... oh God, just please let me finish. So close..."
Funny because you didn't have to tell him. Shidou just knows from the way you writhe and squirm and thrash about in his lap, how your tongue starts to stick out ever so slightly to gain more air from the one he pumps out of you. Your words really start to falter, because your lips read out his name, but nothing comes out of them, just shattered moans and whines as he thrashes and curls his fingers inside of you at a devilish pace.
"Fuck! Harder!" you manage to grit out. This desperate side of you makes Shidou's nerves alight again, a new face of you being shown to him and therefore, bringing you and him closer together. Just what Sae wanted. Mission accomplished, he thinks as he kisses your temple gently as way of coaxing you.
It all comes loose within an instant. At a lightening-fast pace and immeasurable pressure, you manage to unfurl the tight coil in your stomach and unbind yourself from the limiting pleasure that kept building inside of you, setting you free. You finish over his fingers, walls tightening around them as your body convulses and washes over them with a loud and melodic moan that echoes through your shared bedroom with Sae, wet sounds adding into the crescendo.
Shidou laughs wickedly as your climax slowly bubbles down, your body twitching at every shudder its aftereffects ripple through you. "Oh, that was magnificent, doll," he praises, kissing your cheek. "So good, you're so gorgeous. What a show!"
"What a show, indeed," a voice drawls aloud.
You and Shidou snap your head up together to face the door. Itoshi Sae stands stilly at the entrance of it, luggage in hand and jacket still on his body, one day earlier than expected from his visit home.
Your jaw slacks at your other boyfriend appearing suddenly before you, and despite him seeing you naked many times before, you feel a sudden shyness over take you when he stares at you sat on a shirtless Shidou.
"Sae," you call out weakly with a crooked smile, your limbs so numb and barely sensible. "You're back."
"Welcome home, Sae-chan," Shidou chants happily, eyes brightening. His fingers still halfway in you, he takes them out to wave a sticky hand at the midfielder, who sighs at the sight of it.
Unfazed, Sae drags himself and his luggage into the bedroom, seemingly unmoved at the sight before him.
"Flight got moved to morning today since Coach asked to meet with me tomorrow in private," is all he says as he shuffles out of his jacket and hangs it on the door.
You want to ask him how his parents are, how dinner and their catch-up went, how Rin is doing, but an exhaustion creeps onto you slowly that makes your lids grow heavier as seconds tick by mercilessly.
Sae slowly approaches you and Shidou, his eyes dancing about your linked figures and gazing at the wetness between your legs, the turquoise within them varnished with a glaze of want.
"I see you two have become well-accustomed with each other," Sae states.
Shidou chuckles audibly, his arm around your waist going to tightly hug you affectionately as stipples kisses on your heated neck. "Just like what you wanted, right?"
Your own eyes shoot open suddenly and you fidget against Shidou's firm hold, desperate. "He's being so mean, Sae!" you cry out with teary look.
Sae raises a brow and looks back at Shidou, who merely shrugs.
"Listen. I gave her what she wanted," he refutes and gestures to the evidence at your core. "Not my fault she was being needy."
You gawk at him, making him snort aloud. "You're the one who came onto me!"
"Was it?" Shidou dumbly asks, though the memory of him crashing his lips onto yours the moment the apartment doors closed plays in his mind. "I don't remember."
You turn back to Sae with a pout. "He kept teasing and edging me for a hour straight..."
"You clearly liked it though."
"Yeah, but sometimes, it was too much!"
Sae sighs and rubs his forehead when you and Shidou bicker back and forth like children, though a little relieved that you and him broke the ice of awkwardness so early enough to the point where you can squabble like he and you do. He was apprehensive that you and him would stay on the same platform that you usually did, where there was just that thin barrier of respect that both of you teetered crossing, but Sae's seen that the barrier has been broken through, the evidence displaying itself right in front of him.
"I told you to take a test drive with each other, didn't I?" he asks, cutting between you and Shidou's petty argument. You look back at Sae, who is suddenly lowering and positioning himself between your semi-viscid legs to your astonishment. "Maybe I should've been a bit clearer, then."
Shidou follows your gaze, chest heaving a bit when he realizes what Sae is doing as the latter hooks his hands around your thighs. You watch with wide eyes as Sae nears his head toward you and sticks his tongue out, his warmth sheathing your folds unexpectedly and making you whimper warmly again.
Sae pulls back and pierces his eyes into you, then to Shidou, then back at you, fixating on your ardent one. He draws one of his hands back and fixes itself at the cusp of Shidou's pants that sits right beneath you, drawing out a sharp hiss from him at the contact of Sae cupped hand.
The look of mild fatigue and yearning that paints your face along with the look of eagerness and lust that streaks over Shidou makes Sae's gaze darken intently.
"I wanted you both to warm each other up for me," he states simply, just before diving between your legs again and firming his grip around Shidou's hardened clothing, the actions making you and Shidou moan in unison.

p.s. i recommend reading these as situationships/pre-relationships
95 line | 96 line | 97 line | maknae line
seungcheol - calling you in the morning with his morning voice
you’re brushing your teeth, staring off into space and thinking that it’s too early for you to be awake when you hear your phone buzz on the marble counter. reaching over, you answer the call once you recognized the caller ID.
“hello?”
“g’morning…” the voice on the other end sends a shiver down your spine and kickstarts a familiar feeling in the pit of your stomach. “dreamt of you last night.”
the fluttering, overwhelming feeling migrates from your stomach to your chest. your brain goes static as you try and get over the initial shock of how deep and husky seungcheol’s voice currently was.
“i-it’s 7 in the morning, cheol. why are you calling me so early?”
you could almost hear the shit-eating grin in his voice. “i missed you.”
a rush of heat hits your face and you’re suddenly thankful that this was a voice call. “wh- whatever… you’re going to be seeing me in an hour anyway.”
seungcheol hums over the line. “mmm… i’m not sure if i can wait until then.”
“i’m hanging up!” you say hurriedly. you could physically no longer handle that man’s flirting and that damn low voice of his. you needed to give him a stern talking to when you got to school.
jeonghan - touching your ear whenever he’s bored
“hannie…”
“hm?”
“are my ears that soft?” you squirm in your spot at the tickling feeling on your spot the couch as jeonghan’s fingers absentmindedly gave your ear light touches and tugs. he looks up from his phone and sheepishly pulled his hand away.
“sorry, i didn’t realize” before he fully retracts his hand, his finger skims your cheek and gives it a slight pinch before place his hand in his hoodie pocket. you contemplatively lick your lips before opening your mouth to talk again.
“i... never said i didn’t like it…” your voice is so quiet jeonghan almost didn’t hear you. almost.
but jeonghan always hears you.
he gives you a sly grin before reaching out and giving your earlobe a gentle tug. “i didn’t realize i was doing it either. i know it started as a joke but… i think i made it a habit.”
jeonghan inches closer to you on the couch, his knee grazing yours. “you’re my little stress ball now.”
“are you stressed?” you furrow your brows in worry and jeonghan smiles.
“not when i’m with you.”
another gentle tug. except, this time, it's not on your ear.
spoiler alert: it's your heart.
joshua - humming and strumming the guitar in an empty room
the living room is bustling. you’re not sure what you were expecting when your friend seungkwan said he was having a small holiday get-together, but it definitely wasn’t this. you can’t even walk from the kitchen to the living room without stepping on someone’s foot, and you were pretty sure there was a DJ in the house somewhere.
desperate for a break from the crowd, you manage to squeeze through the countless bodies and go upstairs, where it’s virtually empty. the contrast between the loud and busy first floor and peaceful second floor felt borderline holy.
you’re wandering around the second floor, happy to escape the chaos of the first floor when you hear the quiet strum of a guitar reverberating through the hallways.
you halt and listen keenly as you try and locate where the sound was coming from. following the sweet melody of the guitar, you soon hear a voice accompanying the instrument. the door in front of you is cracked open and you peek inside, trying to identify who the talented musician was.
inside the room was joshua, an acoustic guitar propped on his knee as he strums the instrument, his fingers skillfully moving against the frets with gentle hums. his eyes are closed as he fully immerses in the music.
you stand by the doorway, arms crossed against your chest as you watch him. your lips are tugging into a small smile and you felt a gentle fluttering in your stomach. the final note hangs in the air and you hold your breath as you feel your heart rate beginning to speed up at the sight of joshua’s small smile.
his eyes slowly open and your breath catches in your throat when your eyes meet his. joshua grins when he recognizes you.
“any song requests?”
reblogs and feedback is always appreciated ^-^

Things I wholeheartedly believe about the Wayne Kids and why I believe them:
1. The Wayne kids at gala's naturally migrate to Lois and Clark first, even before Gotham reporters. No, it's not because Clark is/was the first person outside of the family that Bruce truly trusts - it's because even though Lois and Clark do everything to get to the bottom of the story, the truth to the story, they are nice and not looking for money or gossip. And the kids can be themselves.
2. (I made this before, but I want to repeat it.) Handwriting. Each kid knows how to forge every single person they knows handwriting. (All of them.) It's their superpower. It makes Bruce crazy and it's easy to prank people... and helpful sometimes.
3. Despite their turbulent relationship with Bruce, they are loyal to Bruce and Alfred. And each other. Not only is it because they are family, but because when it comes down to it, Bruce and Alfred have always been on their side.
4. Jason owns several bookstores. Some book stores are like libraries where they can check books out, some you have to spend actual money at to read them. It doends on what side of town you live in. It's too help youth get back into reading.
5. Tim, Jason, and Damian play D&D together. I don't actually have a reason for this, but I believe it. Sometimes, they rope Jon, Kon, Roy, Wally, and several others to play. Not Dick though. Dick- somehow - always cheats.
6. Dick and Duke's favorite chickflick movies are; She's The Man and the Devil Wears Parada. Steph's favorite is Legally Blonde 1&2. Cass likes Miss Congeniality. Jason's and Tim's favorite is any Hallmark Movie. And Damian thinks they're all insufferable.
7. Damian goes to the park to feed ducks and secretly has a duck army. He also feeds stray cats.
8. Selena loves all the kids. But Dick will always be her favorite because he helped soften Bruce and help give him some humanity and light back.
9. Duke once stopped a school shooter. As Duke, not Signal. I don't have a reason for this. He just did. I feel it in my blood.
10. Jason and Cass sometimes keep an eye on Gotham Academy, where Duke and Damian are. They'll watch from roof tops. Jason will say it's because he's looking for drug dealers, but secretly, ever since the school shooter scared, he's been worried about his brothers. Cass does it because she saw one of the teachers at a Gala once, and the teacher made her feel uncomfortable.
11. (Another post I made, but still.) The only people allowed to make fun of Dick and Damian's accents are those those who are in the family and are close friends of the family. Anyone outside that group gets pummeled or worse. One time, a minor Leaguer made a joke about Nightwing's accent, and it took Batman and Superman to get Jason off the them.
12. Anytime an article comes out ranking the Wayne boys' hottest list- Steph always doodles on their picture and Snaps them with things like; "Ew, since when did you have a stache?," or "Lol, you look like Clark."
13. Cass will join one of her brother's teams occasionally. And when she does, the only ones that interact with her outside her brother's are the ones closest to them. Tim's team of Young Justice hides when she comes.
14. Steph, Duke, Damian, and Jason are the athletes in the family. Cass, Dick, and Tim don't care much, but will play despite being athletic themselves.
15. Bruce has a swimming pool and hot tub. Can he ever use it? No.
16. Selena and Talia have fought against each other. Somehow, they are evenly matched.
17. Diana, Harley, Lois, Dinah, Ivy, and Selena will have girl days. Sometimes, they'll allow Steph, Barbra, and Cass with them. The boys are jealous.
18. As an April Fools joke, one year, Wally and Barbra convinced Dick they were dating. It put him in shock for three days.
19. Jason won't admit it, but Tim and Dick are evenly matched on favorite brothers. Duke's favorite is Jason, Damian's favorite is Dick. Dick loves them all equally and Tim's favorite is Duke.
20. Alfred has multiple scrapbooks for each of his grandkids and son.

Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #15
April 19-26 2024
President Biden appeared along side Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senators Ed Markey and Bernie Sanders to announce major climate action. Biden announced a program, Solar For All, 7 billion dollars aimed at supporting low income house holds install solar power in their homes. The program will support 900,000 households across the country getting solar. Lower the average energy bill for a family by $400 a month and avoid more than 30 million metric tons of carbon pollution over the next 25 years. The boost in solar installation will help create 200,000 new jobs across the country. The President also announced the launch of the Climate Conservation Crops. modeled on FDR's Civilian Civilian Conservation Corps and JFK's Peace Corps, Biden's Climate Conservation Crops will be a program where young people can connect with climate projects across the country and be paid to help protect the planet. The Corps will be 20,000 strong, with 2,000 openings listed right now on their webpage across 36 states DC and Puerto Rico.
The Department of Labor finalized a new rule on overtime. Currently employers are only required to pay overtime to workers making under $35,568. Under the new ruling that will be raised to workers making $43,888, and in January 2025 raised again to workers making $58,656 and under. This will bring overtime pay to 4 million more workers and transfer $1.5 billion from the pockets of companies to workers. It also fixes to raise the level with inflation every 3 years starting in 2027.
The EPA announced a $1 billion dollar program to help replace heavily duty vehicles with clean energy versions. There are currently 3 million class 6 and 7 vehicles, school buses, box trucks dump trucks, street sweepers, delivery trucks, bucket trucks, and utility trucks, in use. 70% of the funds will go to replacing School Buses with Clean energy buses and the remaining 30% will go to replacing Vocational Vehicles like dump trucks and street sweepers. Heavy Duty vehicles on top of green house cases release harmful nitrogen oxide and fine particulate matter and replacing them will not only combat climate change but improve public health.
The Department of Interior took actions to protect 13 million acres of Alaska wild land is protected and to secure the livelihood of Alaska Native peoples who rely on this land. The Administration refused oil and mining rights on the vast areas of Alaska land as well as a 210 miles road through the northern wildernesses. This area represents valuable habitat for caribou and endangered polar bears, as well as millions of migrating birds.
The Department of Transportation announced finalized rules requiring airlines to give automatic cash refunds for canceled flights and other inconvenience. The refunds will be automatic meaning passengers will not have apply for them, prompt the airlines are required to refund a credit card purchase in 7 days, and require repayment in full and in kind, airlines can not substitute travel vouchers for cash. The DOT also announced new rules to protect airline travelers from junk fees, airlines and ticket agents must now clearly tell travelers upfront about all fees so no one is surprised by a hidden fee.
The EPA announced finalized rules on emissions standards for fuel burning power plants. The new rules include a tightening of Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, requiring a 70% reduction in mercury. It also had rules protecting ground water, new rules will require coal powered plants to remove 660 million pounds per year of pollutants discharged through wastewater, and for the first time federally regulates the dumping of coal ash, requiring safe dump sites that will not leak into ground water. Finalized rules require coal fired and new natural gas-fired power plants to capture up to 90% of their carbon pollution
Security of Transportation Pete Buttigieg attended the ground breaking of a new high speed rail project to connect Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The Biden Administration announced 3 billion to support the project 5 months ago. At 218 of all electric green rail the project promises to be the fastest way to get from LA to Las Vegas. Planned to open in 2028 just in time for the LA Olympics it is the first of many planned high speed rail projects. The Biden Administration has promised $66 billion for high speed rail and the largest single investment in Amtrak ever.
The FCC announced a new rule restoring Net Neutrality. Net Neutrality requires internet service pervaders to treat all websites equally and not slow certain ones now or speed others. In 2015 under Obama the FCC passed a rule requiring Net Neutrality. However in 2017, the FCC spread headed by Trump appointed Chair Ajit Pai repealed the rules. A patchwork of Democratic controlled states, lead by California passed state level laws requiring Net Neutrality forcing ISPs to de facto keep it in place. Late last year President Biden got the opportunity to replace Pai on the FCC, giving the FCC a 3 to 2 Democratic majority which voted this week to return to the Obama era rules and protect Net Neutrality nationwide.
The FTC passed finalized regulations to ban noncompete agreements in nearly all cases. These agreements, which cover 18% of American workers, about 30 million people, prohibit workers from joining or creating competing companies for a certain period of time. The FTC estimates that workers will earn an average of $524 dollars a year more and up to 8,500 new businesses will be created each year. The new rule will still allow noncompete for senior executives who make up less than 1% of the work force. Like with the FCC, two out of the 3 FTC commissioners who voted for the new rules are Biden appointees.
The Departments of Health and Human Services and Interior have announced a joint, $1 billion project to connect tribal communities to safe drinking water. Roughly half of Tribal households lack access to clean drinking water or adequate sanitation.
At the White House The Biden Administration announced plans to protect, restore and reconnect 8 million acres of wetlands and 100,000 miles of rivers and streams. This effort will include state, local and tribal government as well as private efforts along with the federal government to protect and restore the nations freshwater environments.
The Department of Health and Human Services announced a new rule boosting privacy protection for abortions. Republicans in states like Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma and Idaho have tried to make it a crime to leave the state to seek an abortion in a state where it is legal. The new federal rule would make it illegal for health information to be shared in these cases
Vice-President Harris announced a new rule requiring staffing standards at Nursing Homes across the country. The new rules will require registered nurses on duty 24 hours, seven days a week. This represents the first time the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services have required specific numbers of nurses and aides in Nursing Homes that get Medicare and Medicaid funding.
The Biden Administration Announced a $6 billion deal with tech giant Micron to bring high tech manufacturing to New York. The deal is expected to see Micron invest $100 billion in Syracuse New York area as well as build a factory in Boise, Idaho. The deal will create 70,000 new jobs. It is part of the Biden Administration's effort to bring high tech chip manufacturing to America.
The Department of Education finalized the most comprehensive federal protections for Trans and other Queer students in the nation's history. The rules also overturn Trump era rules on how colleges should handle sexual assault and harassment.

spencer reid with small boob reader!! i know he'd be so gentle and sweet
Thanks for requesting !
cw: pg-13 smut, insecurities around breast size
Spencer Reid x fem!reader ♡ 564 words
You’ve got no qualms with nudity. You rather enjoy it, actually, given the way Spencer looks at the whole expanse of your body like it’s something new and awe-inspiring and as if he couldn’t name every anatomical element of it in three languages.
He’s quiet as he kisses you, reverent, hands roaming with scientific, exploratory touches until he finds something he likes. You gasp into his mouth.
“Sorry.” Instantly, Spencer’s hold on your breast lightens. He backs up until he can see your face. “Did I hurt you?”
“No,” you laugh. “No, sorry, I was just surprised.” The slight tension in his face relaxes. “There’s not much to hurt anyway.”
The joke is obvious in your tone, but Spencer doesn’t laugh. His eyes go all sweet and concerned instead.
“What do you mean?”
You roll your eyes, kissing up at him. “They’re little,” you say between lengthening pecks to his upper lip. Spencer’s got a lovely upper lip. Small but expressive, cupid’s bow shifting with every movement, you could devote an entire day to it. “Barely even there. Do whatever you want with them.”
You feel his frown between your lips. Try to kiss it away, but to no avail.
“They’re there,” Spencer says, pulling away so there’s a couple of inches between you. “I think they’re a good size.”
You give him a good-natured, be serious look. “You don’t have to say that,” you tell him. “It’s fine, I accepted my meager endowment a long time ago.”
His frown worsens, pulling his eyebrows together in the middle. “They are little, but that doesn’t make them less…” He seems to hesitate halfway through, a mild sheepishness touching his expression. “Nice. Women with larger breasts usually have pain in their upper back. Garcia says it’s not very enjoyable.”
You laugh, your own face heating slightly at the clinical way he’s discussing this. “Yeah, I’ve heard.”
“But you know,” Spencer goes on, “smaller breasts have been found to be more sensitive than larger ones.”
You feel your eyebrows rise. You feel like a pre-teen, but you’re going to need him to say breasts a few more times in that voice of his. “Really?”
“Yeah.” He nods. “Roughly twenty four percent more sensitive, actually.”
You feel suddenly short of breath. Your eyes dip to where Spencer’s slender hand is still splayed over your boob, breathing a quiet, “Oh.”
He hums, not following your gaze but undoubtedly aware of it as he leans down to press a pillowy soft kiss to your lips. “So I just want to be careful with you,” he says, his long thumb sweeping gently over your small mound, just barely skimming past your nipple. “Will you tell me if I do anything you don’t like?”
You nod fervently, chin bumping his as you kiss up at him, but Spencer takes his time. He pecks gently at your bottom lip before his mouth migrates downwards, marking a path of adoration down your center until his lips come to rest on the inside of your left breast. You watch him the whole way, tense with anticipation and something far more fragile, and when he looks up at you through his lashes, eyes warm and soft and safe, you know Spencer sees both in your expression.
“You’re okay with me touching them?” he checks quietly.
“Yeah,” you breathe.
It takes him a long while to stop.

Round 3 - Actinopterygii - Stomiiformes




(Sources - 1, 2, 3, 4)
Order: Stomiiformes
Common Name: no common name for the whole order (sometimes called “dragonfishes and allies”)
Families: 4 - Gonostomatidae (“bristlemouths”), Sternoptychidae (“marine hatchetfishes”), Phosichthyidae (“lightfishes”), and Stomiidae (“dragonfishes”)
Anatomy: very diverse morphology between families; adapted for the deep sea; most have large mouths extending back past the eyes; all have teeth on the premaxilla and maxilla; teeth are often transparent and non-reflective; some have a chin barbel (“whisker”); some have delicate cycloid scales which are easily sloughed off; some are scaleless; the dorsal and/or pectoral fins are missing in some, but others have an adipose fin; some are bioluminescent
Diet: plankton, small crustaceans, small fish
Habitat: in oceans worldwide; most stay in deep waters during the day, but follow the migration of plankton towards the surface at night, swimming back to deeper water when the sun rises; some larger Stomiiformes stay in the deep sea 24/7 and feed on the smaller migrating fish as they return
Evolved in: Late Cretaceous
Propaganda under the cut:
The bristlemouth family, Gonostomatidae, is relatively small, but they make up for their low diversity in numbers. The genus Cyclothone (with 13 species) (image 4) is thought to be one of the most abundant vertebrate genera in the world, numbering into the quadrillions!
Bristlemouths are protandrous: they begin their lives as males and some of them switch to female. Male bristlemouths are smaller than females.
Some bristlemouths rely on their bioluminescence to find prey while others use it to avoid predation. However, the most common way that their bioluminescence is used is for communication between fish.
The smallest species of this order is the bristlemouth Cyclothone pygmaea. Native to the Mediterranean Sea, it reaches just 1.5 cm (0.6 in) as an adult.
Dragonfish (family Stomiidae) have a hinge to their neurocranium and upper-jaw system, allowing them to open their jaw more 100 degrees! This allows them to consume extremely large prey, often 50% greater than their standard length.
Like anglerfish, dragonfish use a barbel as a lure, though their barbel extends off of their bottom jaw. The tip of the barbel is bioluminescent, which attracts prey such as bristlemouths and lanternfish, who use light to communicate. The color, shape, and size of the barbel varies between species, which also allows for same-species recognition.
Dragonfish also have a light-emitting photophore beneath their eyes. In most species, this light is blue, but in some it is red. The scale-less Goldleaf Dragonfish (Chirostomias pliopterus) was the first life form discovered able to emit a red light (the second being a siphonophore of the genus Erenna). Later, more dragonfish genera (Aristostomias, Malacosteus and Pachystomias) were also found to emit red light from the photophore under their eyes. It is hypothesized that red light may be used for intraspecific communication, as well as to illuminate prey, as many organisms in the deep sea can only see blue light.
Viperfish (genus Chauliodus) (gif above) have large, fang-like teeth that are so long that they would pierce their own brain if they were misaligned.
The largest stomiiforme is the Obese Dragonfish (Opostomias micripnus), which measures about 50 cm (20 in) in adult length.
The BBC’s “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” 1989 special modeled its sea dragon off of a dragonfish, basing it off of the description in C.S. Lewis’ book. I watched that sea dragon scene over and over as a kid and it forever impacted my approach to creature design. You don’t need a giant, unrelenting centipede snake when deep sea fish are RIGHT THERE. It was just a Creature migrating up from the depths at night to look for food, and when the food put up too much of a fight, it gave up, like any animal would.

30 Ways Modern-Day Africans Still Exhibit a Colonial Mindset: A Garveyite Analysis
Marcus Garvey’s Pan-Africanist philosophy emphasized self-reliance, cultural pride, and the rejection of colonial influence. However, many Africans today still exhibit behaviours and attitudes rooted in a colonial mindset. Below are 30 examples, explained and analyzed in depth, from a Garveyite perspective:
1-10: Cultural Influence and Identity
1. Preference for European Standards of Beauty
Example: Many Africans prioritize lighter skin, straight hair, and European features over natural Black aesthetics.
Analysis: Skin-lightening creams and the global embrace of Eurocentric beauty ideals reflect internalized inferiority and rejection of African identity.
2. Disdain for African Languages
Example: African children are often discouraged from speaking native languages in favour of English, French, or Portuguese.
Analysis: Linguistic erasure ensures dependency on colonial languages for governance, education, and international relations.
3. Glorification of Western Education
Example: Degrees from European or North American universities are valued more than African ones.
Analysis: This reinforces the notion that African intellectual systems are inferior, perpetuating brain drain and dependency.
4. Adoption of Western Names
Example: Africans often give their children Western names instead of traditional African ones.
Analysis: This signifies a rejection of African heritage in favour of aligning with Western norms.
5. Colonial Religious Practices
Example: Christianity and Islam dominate African spiritual practices, while indigenous beliefs are demonized.
Analysis: Religion was used as a colonial tool to pacify and control, and its dominance reflects ongoing psychological colonization.
6. Rejection of African Fashion
Example: Western suits and dresses are deemed more "professional" than African attire in workplaces.
Analysis: Clothing reflects identity, and the preference for Western styles reinforces the idea that African traditions are primitive.
7. Accent Bias
Example: Africans with European or American accents are viewed as more intelligent or credible.
Analysis: This bias reflects internalized colonial superiority.
8. Neglect of African History
Example: African curricula prioritize European history over African empires like Mali, Songhai, or Great Zimbabwe.
Analysis: This erasure perpetuates ignorance about Africa’s rich heritage and contributions to civilization.
9. Worship of Western Entertainment
Example: Hollywood and European music dominate African media, sidelining local industries.
Analysis: This promotes cultural dependency and undervalues African creativity.
10. Desire to Migrate to the West
Example: Many Africans dream of emigrating to Europe or the U.S. for a "better life."
Analysis: This mindset undermines the potential of building strong nations on the continent.
11-20: Political and Economic Dependence
11. Reliance on Foreign Aid
Example: African governments often depend on Western aid for development projects.
Analysis: This fosters dependency and allows Western nations to control African policies.
12. Colonial Borders
Example: African nations still adhere to arbitrary colonial borders that divide ethnic groups.
Analysis: The refusal to renegotiate these borders reflects a lack of sovereignty and Pan-African unity.
13. Imitation of Western Governance
Example: African governments replicate Western political systems, often failing to adapt them to local contexts.
Analysis: Blind imitation undermines the development of systems rooted in African traditions and needs.
14. Dependence on Western Currencies
Example: The CFA franc, used by West and Central African nations, is controlled by France.
Analysis: This reflects continued economic colonization and inhibits financial independence.
15. Exploitation of Resources by Foreign Corporations
Example: Multinational companies exploit Africa's oil, minerals, and agriculture with little reinvestment.
Analysis: Africans prioritize Western partnerships over local ownership and control.
16. Outsourcing Security to Foreign Powers
Example: French troops stationed in Africa under the guise of fighting terrorism.
Analysis: This reinforces the narrative that Africans can not secure their own nations.
17. Preference for Imported Goods
Example: Imported clothing, food, and technology are seen as superior to local products.
Analysis: This devalues African production and stifles economic growth.
18. Neocolonial Debt Traps
Example: African nations take loans from institutions like the IMF, leading to perpetual debt.
Analysis: These loans come with conditions that undermine sovereignty.
19. Overdependence on Western Technologies
Example: Africa imports most of its technology rather than building local industries.
Analysis: This dependency stifles innovation and economic independence.
20. Election Interference by Western Powers
Example: Western nations influence African elections through funding or propaganda.
Analysis: This undermines democratic processes and reinforces external control.
21-30: Social and Psychological Patterns
21. Black Elitism
Example: Africans educated in the West often look down on those educated locally.
Analysis: This creates divisions within African societies and perpetuates classism.
22. Hostility Toward Pan-Africanism
Example: Resistance to efforts to unify Africa economically or politically.
Analysis: Colonial powers instilled fear of unity to prevent collective strength.
23. Undervaluing African Labour
Example: African workers are underpaid while foreign workers are overpaid for similar roles.
Analysis: This reflects an internalized belief in the superiority of non-African expertise.
24. Neglect of Local Agriculture
Example: African nations import staple foods like rice despite fertile lands.
Analysis: This prioritizes foreign economies over local food sovereignty.
25. Demonization of Traditional Medicine
Example: Preference for Western pharmaceuticals over indigenous remedies.
Analysis: This reflects distrust in African innovation and healing systems.
26. Preference for Colonial Languages in Art and Literature
Example: Writers and artists creating works in English or French to gain Western recognition.
Analysis: This marginalizes African languages and creativity.
27. Inferiority Complex Toward Western Nations
Example: Africans praise Western infrastructure while criticizing their own.
Analysis: This self-perception hinders the belief in African potential.
28. Overlooking the African Diaspora
Example: Africans often ignore the struggles and contributions of African Americans, Caribbeans, etc.
Analysis: Colonial divisions still separate the global African community.
29. Dependence on Colonial Education Systems
Example: African nations still use colonial curricula with minimal African content.
Analysis: Education is a tool of control, and this reflects ongoing intellectual colonization.
30. Hostility Toward Repatriation
Example: Africans discouraging descendants of the enslaved from returning to Africa.
Analysis: This reflects colonial teachings that Africa is undesirable or unworthy.
Garveyite Call to Action:
Marcus Garvey warned against mental colonization and called for:
Reclaiming African identity: Embrace African languages, cultures, and traditions.
Economic independence: Build industries, control resources, and support local economies.
Pan-African unity: Foster solidarity among Africans worldwide.
Rejection of Western validation: Recognize that Africa’s greatness does not depend on foreign approval.
“Liberate the minds of men, and ultimately, you will liberate the bodies of men.” – Marcus Garvey

so back when we were wrapping up SAD SACK i hid a cypher in the final page that when decoded would lead to a carrd site with a bunch of strange writings for a fictional religion + conlang stuff, unfortunately i hid it too good & nobody ever found it LOL & now that it's been over 5 years im honestly fine to just post it! below is a creation myth for the mots from uhhhhhhhh 2019, it was fun to try writing in real Ye Olde style. if you follow along with my other comic prelims ive posted, some of these names might look familiar!
disclaimer also, the fake religion in question is meant to be a misinterpretation of old extinct canaanite creeds where the folks who made it only had limited access to the already limited source materials + other writings from around the time period from different regions, so there is a Lot of cultural mishmash in here that i thought would reflect how people would actually mix and match the elements, similar to some modern day religions. just heads up!
1 The Earth began as Sea, Moon, and Stars. 2 The Sun emerged from the Moon, as through a window, and the Sun was in truth the LORD, come from a distant place in Heaven.
3 The LORD was weary and stopped to quench His thirst in the Sea, but the brine was sour and caused Him to be sick in the waters. 4 From His gorge and out of the Sea rose His organs, and They took shape and walked forth as his Brothers.
5 From the Sea rose the first Brother, clothed in robes of peridot, and at His left hip a crimson khopesh. 6 He looked upon the infinite Sea, and He breathed forth life unto the waters - fishes of every color, sprawling flora, and the people of the deep. 7 The LORD saw the wisdom of Heaven in his eyes, and the LORD called His name: BAAL KHASIS.
8 Then rose the second Brother, clothed in robes of emeralds, and in His left hand a crimson skinning blade. 9 He looked upon the people of the deep, and he breathed forth land, to split the Earth into above and below, as is Heaven and Earth. The Sea birthed clouds that crowned the lands, clouds that raged and spit cacophonous lightning and fresh sweet water, and the people of the deep migrated landwards. 10 The LORD saw the Earth's newborn storms in His eyes, and the LORD called His name: BAAL HADAD.
11 Then rose the third Brother, clothed in robes of golden topaz, and at His left eye a crimson maul. 12 He looked upon the land, and He breathed forth time - the sunrise and sunset, the seasons, the years, and old age. 13 The LORD saw the encroaching night in His eyes, and the LORD called His name: BAAL SHALIM.
14 Then rose the fourth brother, clothed in robes of pearls, and in His left mouth a crimson saw blade. 15 He looked upon the night, and He breathed forth coherence to the stars, the mighty constellations, the waxing and waning of the holy Moon, how it pulled the Sea's tides and bathed the shores. 16 The LORD saw the light of the Moon in His eyes, and the LORD called His name: BAAL YARIKH.
17 The LORD's Brothers produced for Him clothing of citrine to hide His nakedness. 18 And from His mouth the LORD poured the Sun's fire which He would fashion into any weapon of His choosing. 19 The LORD's brothers saw the infinite of all in His eyes, and They called His name: BAAL MUTH.
20 Then the five LORDS stepped into the Stars aside the Moon, above the lands and Sea, and They anointed themselves the LORDS of the Earth.
21 The Moon reflected BAAL MUTH's light and bathed the Earth's newborn land, and the LORDS' Shadows were formed on the land - weak, foul, and frail, each with one eye and half blind. 22 It angered the LORDS to see weakness in Their shapes, and They made war with their Shadows.
23 The first Shadow was Cacrinolas, a wicked man-faced wolfdog with the wings of an eagle. He opened his mouth and projected forth curses at the LORDS. 24 BAAL KHASIS's Brothers fell upon him in fury to tear the wings from his back. 25 With His burning khopesh, BAAL KHASIS beheaded Cacrinolas, and He cast the head into the Sea, 26 and He placed his wings into the Stars, so that they would become the celestial Nabu. But his grasp was not complete, and feathers of Cacrinolas fell loose and landed on the Moon.
27 The second Shadow was Forai, a vile beast with the head of a bull and innumerable hands. He opened his mouth and projected forth pleas for mercy so as to make the LORDS have pity. 28 But BAAL HADAD's Brothers fell upon him in turn to cut out his pleading tongue and take his hands from him. 29 With his burning skinning blade, BAAL HADAD removed Forai's genitals, and with his own hands Forai's heart, and He cast the genitals, the tongue, and the hands into the Sea, 30 and He placed his heart into the Stars, so that they would become the celestial Inanna. But unsteady were his hands, and the heart's blood fell and landed on the Moon.
31 The third Shadow Botis, a man-faced wayward serpent with a mouth of viper's fangs and a tail of rattling swords. He opened his mouth and projected forth poison from his fangs so as to make the LORDS sleep. 32 But BAAL SHALIM's Brothers fell upon him a moment before, to feed him his own poison and to take his fangs from his mouth. 33 With his burning maul, BAAL SHALIM broke Botis' skull in twain so that his brains ran free, and He cast the brains into the Sea, 34 and He placed his fangs into the Stars, so that they would become the celestial Ugarit. But His aim was not true, and one fang fell and landed on the Moon.
35 The fourth Shadow was Tuvres, a chimera with the body of both man and warhorse. So profane and so powerful was Tuvries that BAAL YARIKH's four Brothers could only restrain the beast and take from him his voice before he could speak, 36 so that BAAL YARIKH Himself could wield his burning saw blade and open his equine body to remove his entrails. 37 BAAL YARIKH beheaded Tuvres, and He cast the voice and the entrails into the Sea, 38 and He placed his head into the Stars, so that they would become the celestial Suen. But His grasp failed Him, and the head of Tuvres landed on the Moon.
39 So engulfed with wrath was BAAL MUTH, to see the holy Moon's light dimmed by such heavy handedness, such clumsiness, such carelessness. 40 So enraged was the LORD that his fire burned so hot as to burn even his Brothers. 41 So loud His roar, as though meant to crack the walls of Heaven itself. 42 The LORD BAAL MUTH opened His endless mouth, from where all things come and where all things return, where sound and light extinguish, where time folds inward, and He consumed His Brothers one by one.

A rare sighting on a mild Christmas Day of waxwings in south London. The flock of 13 was feeding on berries from a pink rowan tree in a garden. The waxwings have migrated across from Scandinavia due to a shortage of food there and have been sighted across the UK.

She probably has two love piercings on each ear and maybe her belly button pierced- if she does she got it done with KC. She definitely had her nose pierced in university but the stud fell out in her sleep one time and she didn't realise until a day later and it hurt too much trying to put it back in so she just let it heal shut
2. Katelyn
Doesn't have her ears pierced but does have a septum and nose piercing BC Nicole said they didn't hurt and would make her look gay. Plus they could match. Katelyn really regrets trusting Nicole. Probably hates needles so will not get another piercing
3. Kawaii Chan
She's not too pierced up! But she has a tongue piercing and a belly button piercing.
4. Lucinda
She definitely has her tongue pierced and like 3 lob piercings and probably like one ear cartilage piercing. Probably considered getting a Monroe piercing but never got around to it

14. Zane
Probably ties with Nicole for amount of piercings. Three lip piercings, a nose ring and one of his eyebrows pierced. Has more piercings on one ear than the other BC he religiously sleeps on his right side and hated having to sleep on his left or back while the right ear healed so just doesn't get any new piercings in it to combat that.

Hello! Sorry for the inactivity, posting the same drawings on 5 different platforms with different limitations is quite exhausting, so I'll be posting my Spectember drawings in batches until I finish it :>
So without further ado, here's the second week of Spectember:
Day 8: Ambush Predator
Featuring the Titan Låtmimik (Venatoramus longus), a giant carnivorous katydid from the northern forests of Antarctica, which can imitate the calls of certain bird species to attract them closer to their lethal grasp

Day 9: Producer
Featuring the Ggulu Orchid (Caelorchis divinitus), an orchid common in the Muraanad forests of the Somalian subcontinent, where it grows from the fungi growing chambers of the termite nests, taking advantage of the fungi until it bursts out of the nest, finally able to photosynthesize and flower.

Day 10: Filter Feeder
Featuring the Wandering Dumingo (Pinnatocetus celer), a seafaring member of the dumingos, a family of filter feeding mallard descendants, which embark on incredibly long migrations across oceans, from pole to pole, in the search of summer plankton booms.

Day 11: Semi-aquatic
Featuring the Beringian Selkie (Sennapithecoides polaris), an aquatic rodent from the Arctic region, which spends most of its life diving and digging around the coastal mudflats in search of invertebrates to feed on, including clams and crustaceans.

Day 12: Megafaunal
Featuring the Transoceanic Navalodile (Galleonosuchus imperator), the largest of a group of seagoing crocodiles, which patrols the equatorial waters of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, constantly searching for fish, rarely encountering others of its kind.

Day 13: Grazer
Featuring the Rugose-browed Pricklyhog (Hoplohippus rugosus), a large porcupine descendant that lives in the African grasslands, protected from predators by its thick skin, and large keratinous plaques and spines that cover it.

And day 14, some fanart of one of the OG spec books, After Man. One of my favourite creatures from its incredible roster, the Night Stalker!

Kingsley Wilson, appointed in January to be deputy press secretary at the Pentagon, last year tweeted a neo-Nazi talking point about Jewish lynching victim Leo Frank.
The post came amid a flood of far-right social media content by the Trump administration appointee, who previously worked at an organization founded by the architect of Project 2025, the Christian conservative blueprint for a Trump White House. Many of Wilson’s posts, which remain online, reflect antisemitic conspiracy theories.
The one about Frank has resurged in recent years. Frank was a factory manager in Georgia who was convicted on thin evidence of killing a 13-year-old girl, Mary Phagan, and was sentenced to death. When his sentence was commuted to life in prison, a mob lynched him. The 1915 lynching spurred the creation of the Anti-Defamation League and is widely seen as antisemitic.
Neo-Nazis have long claimed that Frank was guilty and that the consensus that he was framed is evidence of Jewish control of the media. Those claims received publicity in 2023 when the National Socialist Movement, a neo-Nazi group, protested outside previews of “Parade,” a Broadway musical about Frank’s lynching. The protesters criticized the ADL and their banner read, “Leo frankly was a pedo.”
In August 2024, Wilson posted the same sentiments on X, above a post by the ADL commemorating Frank’s lynching.
“Leo Frank raped & murdered a 13-year-old girl,” she wrote. “He also tried to frame a Black man for his crime. The ADL turned off the comments because they want to gaslight you.”
Five months later, the day after Donald Trump’s inauguration as president, she was appointed deputy Pentagon press secretary. Previously, she worked in communications for the Center for Renewing America, a pro-Trump group founded by Russel Vought, one of the architects of Project 2025. Vought now serves as director of the United States Office of Management and Budget, which is executing an effort to slash the federal budget.
The Department of Defense did not immediately responded to a request for comment. In a statement, the ADL denounced Wilson’s post and called for its retraction.
“White supremacists and other antisemites have long used conspiracy theories about the Leo Frank case to cast doubt on the circumstances of the antisemitic lynching of Leo Frank,” a spokesperson for the group said. “We are deeply disturbed that any public official would parrot these hateful and false conspiracy theories, and we hope Kingsley Wilson will immediately retract her remarks.”
On Wednesday, Seth Mandel, senior editor of the Jewish conservative magazine Commentary, called the Frank lynching “a foundational blood libel that is inseverable from the violence it provokes. This is the way a pogromist talks, and she’s now deputy press secretary in Trump’s DoD.”
The Frank post is one of several times Wilson’s tweets have used the same language as antisemitic conspiracy theories. She has tweeted several times in support of the “Great Replacement” theory, whose original iteration contends that Jews are orchestrating the mass migration of people of color into Western nations. Also in August 2024, she tweeted, “The Great Replacement isn’t a right-wing conspiracy theory … it’s reality.”
Last April, at the height of the pro-Palestinian encampment movement that many Jewish college students said created a hostile atmosphere on campus, Wilson posted a video criticizing House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, for going to Columbia University to oppose the encampment.
“The protests on college campuses are Sharia Supremacists vs. University Marxists,” she posted above that video, in which she also claimed that university administrators “indoctrinated” the protesters. “Never interrupt your enemy when they’re fighting amongst themselves.”
Also last year, she tweeted in support of the far-right Alternative for Germany party, known as AfD, whose leaders have a history of downplaying the Holocaust and have unsettled many of the country’s Jews. The party came in second in the recent German parliamentary election and has received an endorsement from Elon Musk as well as implicit support from Vice President J.D. Vance, who urged European leaders to cooperate with far-right parties.
“AfD is the most popular party with Germans age 14-29 because Germany’s Ruling Class has let a conquering horde of Third World migrants wreak havoc on its people,” she wrote.
In a different post about AfD’s strength with young voters, she wrote, in all caps, “Ausländer Raus” — a German term meaning “Foreigners out” that is associated with a Nazi slogan and is banned in Germany.
On Oct. 10, 2022, shortly after the rapper Kanye West, known as Ye, kicked off a stream of antisemitic invective by threatening to “go death con 3” on Jews, Wilson tweeted, “Team Ye.” (That statement was above a tweet referencing Ye’s comments about the singer Lizzo’s weight.)
Wilson has recently taken flak from Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres, a pro-Israel stalwart — but on a different topic. Last week, he took issue with a tweet of hers reading “Make Kosovo Serbia Again.”
“Kingsley Wilson, the Deputy Press Secretary for the Department of Defense, is shamefully attempting to delegitimize Kosovo, which has been the single greatest American ally in the Western Balkans,” he posted. “No amount of historical revisionism can change the fundamental fact that Kosovo is and will always be an independent democracy.”
