word count: 3.9k + proofread
a/n: another fic i’ve had in my notes app for a month lol🤗
TW: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT YOU CONSUME ONLINE. THIS STORY IS 100% FICTIONAL AND FOR FUN ONLY. NOTHING HERE IS ACCURATE TO REAL LIFE, NOR AM I CLAIMING IT TO BE. MINORS DO NOT INTERACT!
you’re currently working on your grad school work, grading quizzes for the students you TA for at UCLA. getting a phd was a full time job, no one ever warned you. but it would be worth it. as you sit at the desk in your bedroom, contemplating how much partial credit to award a student for a mediocre response to a short answer question, your phone buzzes.
you look down and see jake’s name light up your screen. you lean back in your chair, phone in hand, and read his text.
heyyy you wanna see my vid for tm? tried somethin new i think it’s pretty good
you smile at the screen before quickly typing out a reply and pressing send.
yeah
u don’t know how bored i am rn
you put your phone back down and continue grading. jake was one of your closest friends. you’d been friends for years since undergrad when you both went to ucla together. after graduation you moved onto ucla’s graduate program and he decided he was done with academia. he had always been a very creative person. he was also very sexual. he loved sex. he was good at it. he knew what to do to make people squirm. he was sexy, and he knew it. he decided, why not try to make a career out of it? so a couple years ago, he’d made an onlyfans account. his innovation & entrepreneurship degree came in handy, because he knew exactly how to promote himself online to gain a following quickly. fast forward two years, and now he’s in the top 0.5% of creators on the site, easily making seven figures a year, sometimes even seven figures a month. you were a little jealous sometimes, of how much money he made with seemingly little effort, but then you thought about all the work he’d actually put into his career.
he posted on mondays, wednesdays, and fridays. mondays were photos. he’d often have extremely strenuous and exhausting photoshoots for multiple days in the beginning of the month. they were never the same and they were always creative. he thought of each idea. money went into hiring the photographers, make up artists, catering, rented out space. but he made enough money to pay for it all. money wasn’t the issue, it was time. on wednesdays he uploaded a solo video. on fridays, he uploaded a video filmed with one or two or however many other people. his videos were always to the point. he liked it quick and dirty. no emotions, no strings, and NEVER any kissing. his fans liked it that way. he knew they didn’t care for theatrics. they were there to get off, and so was he…although, he always made sure the people he filmed with came first.
he edited all his own content too. he also had the responsibility of planning collaborations with other artists, for the friday videos. they couldn’t both upload the same content, so that often meant going multiple rounds in a row. plus he might have multiple collabs to film each week, so he could edit the videos and schedule days to post them. point being, jake was a very hard worker. he deserved every ounce of fame he’d gotten.
he would often send his videos to you for your approval. since you’d had a sexual relationship for quite some time, and were super close friends, he trusted you to tell him the truth about whether the videos were good or not. you always did. for around the past year, your relationship had escalated from solely friendship to friends with benefits. he got tested once a week for his work, so you weren’t worried about getting any stds from him or anything. plus he was always super safe. sex with jake was amazing. he was a amazing. having the “benefits” label attached to your title… it was fun. it was sweet. it wasn’t serious. at least that was what you thought he wanted, and you were too afraid to ever bring it up. you were happy to be his friend. you loved being his friend. you also loved having sex with him. you didn’t want to ruin that.
it was tuesday night, he’d probably just finished editing his wednesday video. you couldn’t help but feel giddy with excitement. watching him fuck himself was always fun for you.
you heard your phone buzz again and picked it up.
well hopefully this doesn’t bore you more lol :)
*FILE ATTACHMENT 3.5MB*
you click on the attachment and see that the video was eight minutes long. normally his wednesday videos averaged around three minutes. quick and dirty, remember? when you press play, you are immediately met with the image of a nearly naked jake waving to the camera and blowing a kiss (his signature salutation). you look down and can see where his boxers obviously tent, and when he plops himself down into the swiveling office chair with a smile, his erection is even more glaringly obvious.
one time, after one of your late night escapades, while you were cuddling in your bed in the early hours of the morning, you’d asked him how he was always hard before his solo videos even started. he had giggled and kissed your temple softly, before mumbling “a magician never tells his secrets.”
“oh come on,” you begged. “pleeease. i’m your best friend. and we are having sex so you kind of owe it to me if i’m going to find out you have some type of magical penis.”
he laughed again, “i just think about you.”
he kissed you on the cheek. “jaaake… be serious,” you say with faux annoyance.
“what makes you think i’m not being serious?” he asked before pulling your naked body ever closer to his. you wrapped your arms around the back of his neck, but before you could push him any further, he’d fallen asleep.
you returned your attention back to the video, where the tiny jake in your screen was peeling his boxers off and tossing them to the side of the room. you watch as his dick sprang free. he tore his gaze away from his cock and glanced up to smile at the camera again. he had such a way with the camera. his eye contact made the viewer feel involved somehow. it was almost intimate. maybe that was why he was so popular. people felt seen by him. he squeezed a bit of unscented lotion on his hand and lazily grasped the shaft of his cock, drawing slow strokes back and forth, never breaking eye contact with the camera. yeah, this was definitely intimate. his breath caught every once in a while and he’d whisper “fuck” or “shit”, almost quiet enough that you couldn’t hear him.
after a couple minutes, you could tell he was about to come. well you could tell. you specifically. it was a face you’d grown so accustomed to seeing from him. his eyebrows furrowed a bit and his top lip curled up and to the right. sometimes he squeezed his eyes shut in his videos, but never with you. when you two fucked, he was always present. he wanted to savor every second. he wanted to see your eyes roll back as he made you finish for the second or third time in the night.
he squirmed in the chair and it rotated a little as his strokes got more aggressive. but right before he came he let go. he caught his breath. he laughed. he looked at the camera with a stare that could only be described as him saying “gotcha”. he repeated this process a few more times. working himself up. fucking himself to the brink of collapse but letting go just before he could teeter over the edge. you kept note of how his eyes hadn’t scrunched up once yet this video. as if he was trying as hard as possible to remain present with his audience.
around the seven minute mark, you knew he was finally going to allow himself to come. he was squirming, his leg was shaking, you could see the muscles in his abs contracting with every shallow breath he took. he whimpered softly, mumbling incoherently under his breath. but then he did something truly unexpected.
“fuck, y/n,” he let out with a moan. his own eyes widened at his words but at that point it was too late. the damage was already done. he felt so good and he was so close to coming that he couldn’t help but continue saying your name. he continued mumbling your name between soft sighs and moans until he finally pushed himself over the edge and come shot out of his dick and into his hand. he let go of his now flaccid but sensitive penis, and sat back in his chair with a breathless laugh.
“fuck,” he said. he stood up and walked closer to the camera, allowing the audience to get an up close look at the mess he’d made of himself. he smiled brightly one last time, blowing another kiss before the video cut out.
you sat in silence and disbelief at what you’d just seen. he was literally moaning your name while he jerked off, and was about to post it for a million subscribers to see. you couldn’t tell if you thought it was hot or if it made you nervous. you looked down at your texts and saw that he’d sent another message.
well?
it didn’t take long for you to think of your reply.
come over
he answered almost as soon as your text was delivered.
already on my way baby
-
you knew he arrived at your place when you heard three quick knocks at your front door, the same knock he did every time he came over.
“hey,” you greet him with a shy smile as you open the door. suddenly, seeing him in person after watching his video had made you feel less confident, and more embarrassed.
“hi,” he said, looking down at his feet. clearly his drive over had given him time to contemplate his actions and maybe garner a bit of embarrassment himself. he stepped over the threshold without asking. not that you wanted him to. you closed the door behind him and stood with your hand pressed against it for a second, facing away from him.
“look,” he started. “i don’t know why i did it. i know it’s… different… than my other stuff, and if you don’t want me to post it i won’t, but i wanted you to see how you make me feel.” you feel his presence behind you and your suspicion is validated as his fingers glide over your hip until his palm is flat against your skin. “say something, please.”
you turn around and grab his neck with both hands, pulling him down to sloppily kiss him. you thought about his words, how you make me feel, and you thought about him. you pull away for a second and stare into his eyes desperately. he meets your gaze with equal fervor, scanning all across your face for some sort of indication to keep going. and you can tell then. that he wants you just as much as you’d always wanted him. in a way that’s more than just best friends. more than just benefits. “i want to film with you,” you say, all your confidence restored.
his eyes widen, “really?”
“yes.”
you feel his grip tighten on your waist, his other hand snaking up your neck and around the back of your head. “i was hoping you’d say that,” he smiled.
you lead him to your bedroom, hand in hand. it had to be the hundredth time you’d led him there. but it never got old. you could do it forever. you would do it forever, if he’d have you.
“so how does this work?” you ask with giddy excitement upon locking your bedroom door behind you.
“we don’t have any of my film stuff, so we’ll just have to record on my phone. it’ll be fun. it’ll look homemade… amateur. people eat that shit up. plus, i think if you’re in it, people will love it even more. i know they’re gonna love the wednesday video… just hearing your name.”
you smile, taking a step towards him and reaching out to pull him in by his waistband. “so you’ll just… be recording us on your phone the whole time?” you ask.
he gulps, his dick growing harder by the second, just from thinking about having you on camera. he couldn’t stop imagining what the video would look like, and how he could jerk off to it whenever he wanted. he wouldn’t have to imagine you anymore. “yeah, pretty much.” he inches closer to you, pushing a strand of hair behind your ear and leaning in until his lips brush against your mouth. “gonna be so sexy for me, baby.”
“shit,” you whisper, your knees growing weak. “i want you.”
he sets up his phone, leaning it against a jewelry box on your dresser, and you wonder how he could possibly get all of it in frame.
“you good?” he asks as he makes his way back over to you.
“yeah,” you say, eyes still on the camera. “just a little nervous i guess.”
“you’re gonna do so good. just pretend it’s not even there. focus on me.”
“okay,” you smile, and lean in to connect your lips. he drags his hand down your back until he’s pulling on the fabric of your t-shirt, silently begging you to allow him to pull it off. you break away from each other, just for a second, to strip until you’re both naked. why not get down to business, right?
“getting right to it?” he asks with a smirk, before plunging back to your mouth, kissing you hard and fast. one of his hands grips your cheek while the other kneads your ass. your arms wrap around his neck and your bodies are so close together you can feel his cock pressing against your pelvis. you part your lips slightly, allowing is tongue to enter and explore the inside of your mouth. he guides you both over to your bed, never breaking the kiss, until he finally picks you up completely. you wrap your legs around his torso and he holds you close, flopping down on the bed with you mounting his lap. “turn around so they can see you, baby,” he breaks away and whispers in your ear. you do as you’re told, he spreads his legs so you can sit between them, facing the camera now.
“spread your legs for me, princess.” you rest one leg on both of his thighs, so you’re completely revealed. you can see yourself in his little phone screen on your vanity, and even bigger in the mirror behind it. he wraps one arm around your stomach, holding you in place, and rests his head on your shoulder, kissing you as he does. his free hand creeps around your waist and lands between your legs. “so wet for me.” he whispers as his fingers mindlessly brush over you. he finds your clit, as he’s done countless times before, and rubs gentle circles into it with his index and middle fingers.
he loved to start slow with you. building you up for so long just so he could eventually ruin you. you lean your head back into the crook of his neck and turn to meet his gaze, “please don’t tease, jake.”
he kisses your lips again, so softly, you almost think he’s going to go easy on you. “i’m not teasin’, promise,” he replies. “just gotta show them how pretty you are while you’re like this.”
he gets rougher then, his fingers moving quicker and harder, and you let out a moan. “louder, baby.” he says as he delivers a brisk slap to your inner thigh, pulling another moan from you, before he eventually shoves two fingers deep inside you. he curls his fingers upwards as he thrusts them into you, finding your g-spot over and over again.
you’re practically a breathless, shaking mess in his arms, but he just keeps alternating between fingering you and rubbing your clit. he brings you to the edge more times than you can count, alternating methods just before you can reach your peak. he almost knows your body better than you at this point. knows exactly when to stop before you can come, knows exactly what makes you feel the best. “you’re doing so good for me, princess.” he praises as you continue to play his game. allowing him to make a mess of you in his arms, he’s the only one you’d ever want to be this vulnerable with. you absolutely love when he ruins you. you love how it feels during the moment, and you love how it feels after, with him cradling you in his arms until you fall asleep. kissing your forehead and cheeks relentlessly while he tells you how amazing you are. how you’re the only person he genuinely enjoys fucking. how he could do it all the time and never get bored.
he kisses your temple as he finally allows you to come undone in his arms. you grip his arm that’s wrapped around your stomach, and your other hand reaches behind you to grab the back of his head and pull him in. your lips latch onto his, even though you’re barely capable of kissing him as he works you through your orgasm. you gaze up to make eye contact with him, and he smiles down at you while your body finally stops convulsing and your loud moans dwindle into soft, breathless pants. you manage to return his smile then, and he leans down to press an ever so gentle kiss to your lips. “you think you can take more?” he asks softly.
“with you? always,” you reply.
“that’s my girl,” he grins. “move to the edge of the bed, baby.”
he stands up and grabs a tissue from your vanity to wipe off his fingers before grabbing his phone from the dresser. he flips the camera view so it’s on you, and he turns the flash on.
he walks up to you, camera in hand, and you can’t help but giggle as he does. you’ve never seen him in action before. well, not live. you wonder if this is how filming usually goes for him. you imagine not. since he has more professional recording equipment at home, and he’s with strangers. you have to admit, no matter how good his content is, he never has any type of chemistry with the people he fucks beyond sexually. it was different with you, it was bound to be. your relationship is bigger than just sex. it was more… for both of you.
“you laughin’ at me?” jake asks teasingly, raising an eyebrow at you.
you bat your eyelashes at him innocently, “never!”
he lets out a chuckle before finally reaching you on the bed. he stands at the edge where you sit up on your elbows to look at him. the flash in your face makes it hard to even see jake. you look past the light up at him, he’s all you care about. you know you must be giving him the biggest doe eyes ever, but you don’t care how you look. you want him bad.
“fuck, you’re so beautiful,” he says, reaching down to jerk himself off with his free hand. “could come just by lookin’ at you.”
he continues stroking himself, whining a little as he does. “see what she does to me?” he asks his hypothetical audience. “lean back, mama. hold your thighs back for me.” again, you do as you’re told. being with him was the only time you were okay with a man telling you what to do. you grab one thigh in each hand and pull your legs back until they’re pressed against your torso.
he guides his cock between your legs, slowly pushing it inside of you inch by inch. you were always taken aback by his size. as if your body forgets how big he is between your hookups, you always needed a minute to adjust. “takin’ me so well, princess.” you knew the camera was capturing the entire scene. and for some reason, that was turning you on even more.
once he was finally in deep enough, he let go of his dick and used his now free hand to grab onto your thigh, pushing it down even further. you felt him bottom out, his pelvis pressing against your skin, and he groaned in delight at the feeling. “missed you so much, baby. missed this perfect body, and your pretty moans,” he says.
“you came over three nights ago,” you muster between moans as he begins thrusting into you.
“yeah, but i always miss you when you’re not with me. miss all of you. not just fucking you.” he couldn’t say much else, as he was now groaning himself, but you understood well enough what he meant. he missed you. everything about you.
his thrusts grew faster and harder with each passing second, and you reached out to grab his arm that was still pushing your thigh back. you gripped his wrist, your nails digging into him as your moans got louder. “fuck! jake… fuck, fuck.”
“what is it, baby? use your words,” jake said through his grunts.
“‘m…so close,” you reply, and another moan rips through you.
“me too,” he says. “come with me.”
your back arches off the bed and you can almost see stars as he slams into you, but you let go at precisely the same time. his thrusts grow sloppier, and he can barely hold his grip on the phone as his body begins to shake. yours does too, and you grip the sheets with the hand that isn’t actively holding onto jake’s wrist for dear life. you’re both in a state of pure ecstasy as you feel his dick finally twitch inside you.
he stops the video and throws his phone on the bed, hunching over on top of you to catch his breath. he slowly pulls out and collapses onto the bed, pulling your body onto his and kissing your face gently. he fixes your sweaty hair as best as he can, smiling as he does. “you’re so pretty.”
“so are you,” you whisper, your fingers softly tracing his face. “so are you gonna post the video this week? i think it was good, hopefully it’ll do well.”
“oh, i don’t think i’m going to post it.” jake says.
“what? why not? do you think it’s bad?” you ask, and genuine concern lines your voice.
“no. that’s the problem. it’s so good. i don’t wanna share it. don’t wanna share you. only i want to be able to see you like that.” he kisses you roughly and nuzzles his head into your chest.
you smile at his words. don’t wanna share you, and suddenly, you’re saying the one thing you never thought you’d be able to say to him. “jake, i think i’m in love with you.”
he seems caught off guard at first. but then he looks at you with eyes full of only love and passion, and the most earnest smile you’d ever seen adorns his face. “thank god.”
he kisses you, only this time it feels different. it’s as if a taut rope that had held you two a foot away from each other had finally snapped. or been cut. he holds your face in his hands like you’re a precious porcelain doll he wouldn’t dare risk breaking, and when he pulls away from the kiss, it’s only to say “you don’t know how long i’ve wanted to hear that.”

bisexual carl thoughts
so listen, we got robbed of some bisexual content in the show with fiona’s exit so me and nosho ( @creepkinginc ) got talking and you know what? bisexual carl. we’re here for it. so we made him a boyfriend. meet ben.
carl brings his first ever actual boyfriend to sunday family dinner and at first the gallaghers are kinda confused because ben looks like a nobody. he has a boring name and a boring look, very average, nothing special about him. carl has had a slew of very interesting women and he’s with this guy? makes zero sense.
until ben opens his mouth. it makes sense then.
they learn he’s a baker and works at a bakery close to the police station and that’s how they met (”cops and dounts, huh?”) but ben had to give his number THREE times before carl got the hint. because why would a guy flirt with him? it took him a minute alright.
but ben also tells them he’s been a park ranger in new mexico where he’s from, a construction worker, for a while he worked with removing snakes and shit from peoples houses, you know, normal ben stuff.
at which the gallaghers tell him the story about carl killing the bald eagle hoping to get a laugh outta the guy
but he looks dissapointed and says he wishes he was there so he could show them how to prepare it properly. which then send him into a story about that time he killed and ate a poisionous snake.
the gallaghers just stare but carl nods and looks like its the most normal thing ever. ben informs them that they have to remember to bury the head should they ever have to do that because you can still step on it and get poisoned.
he then goes on to tell them about other wild animals you can eat. seagulls, snails, bugs, possums. and how to best prepare them.
alright so ian spots his tattoo and asks about it. its a ruler on his forearm and ben just shrugs and tells them he uses it to measure fish he catches sometimes. you never know when you have to measure something. its handy at ikea and when you gotta make sure a hole is deep enough. a hole for what? oh you never know when you need a hole with just the right size.
they keep talking and frank/monica/parents comes up and ben tells them about his survivalist father who dropped him in the woods one time with a swiss army knife and a lighter and he had to find his way back home. by himself. at 12.
(thats also the time he ate the snake. ya boy had to eat)
there’s just this distinct feeling ben could build you a house and do your taxes, but he’s also the typa guy who could tell you the best way to make a body dissapear and how to make a deadly weapon out of a paperclip and a stick. mcgyver style.
eventually it turns into this thing where everybody just waits for him to piggyback of whatever story they tell with a ”that reminds me of that one time…” and they all just KNOW its gonna be something outta the left field. just ben stories.
ian voices his concern about ben being a red flag to mickey but mickey’s like ”firecrotch, you married ME. if we turned out fine im sure ben and carl will be fine too. he’s weird as fuck but i kinda like the dude. good for carl the little pyschopath”
eventually they wanna add him to the gallagher group chat but he doesnt use facebook. or any social media sites. but he does have 17 different apps for hiking trails and apps for identifying plants you can eat or not eat and a compass app and— all the apps but not facebook. sorry.
so yeah, ben looks like he wouldnt make sense with carl but they get it now. he makes total sense with carl.
(i wrote this on my phone and didnt spellcheck so take it for what it is)
#as written by someone who paid very little attention to carl overall#but still#petition to bring ben alive#carl gallagher#shameless#bisexual carl gallagher#shameless us#just carl x ben stuff

Dating App Mishaps (Ch. 11)
Ship: Alex Blake/Reader
Summary: Alex didn't have Tinder by choice...but that doesn't mean it isn't going to come in handy.
Word Count: 1067
Alex pulled you off her cock, allowing you to catch your breath. With her thumb, she wiped the saliva that had collected on your bottom lip, spilling down your chin.
"You look so good, Angel," she purred, "All messy from Daddy's cock..."
You nodded eagerly, hoping that if you were just good enough, she might finally give you what you truly wanted. Once you'd caught your breath sufficiently, you leaned in as if to take her cock once more into your mouth.
She chuckled. "You're eager to please, aren't you?"
It was a rhetorical question, you knew, but that didn't stop you from once again nodding enthusiastically. There was little you wanted more in that moment, than to please her.
She caught your chin before you could once again move to take her cock. Pinching it between her thumb and forefinger, she tipped your head back so you were forced to meet her gaze. "You want to make me happy, don't you?"
"Yes, Daddy."
With a smirk, she released your chin, crossed the room to settle in the armchair once again, then patted her lap. "Be a good girl and come ride Daddy's cock."
______
"Such a good girl," Alex murmured, stroking your hair off your sweaty forehead with tender fingers as you lay back on the bed, completely spent. "You did such a good job for me."
You couldn't seem to manage any words, simply smiling blissfully up at her as she trailed her fingers down your cheek and along your jaw. You pressed a kiss to her palm as it passed your lips.
She chuckled softly. "You cockdrunk little thing," she purred. "Let's get you into the bath, shall we?" She gently guided you to sit up, leading you to the en-suite where she was running a bath for you.
Once she'd gotten you settled in the warm water, she moved as if to leave the room, but before she could get very far, you reached out to grab her wrist. "Stay?" you begged with a little pout.
She rolled her eyes playfully. "Needy, aren't you?" she teased, but nonetheless climbed into the bath with you, pulling you to settle against her chest. Leaning your head back to rest on her shoulder, you looked up at her with a soft smile. "What?" she asked, her own smile quirking up the corners of her lips.
You shrugged slightly. "It's just hard to believe..."
"What is?" she asked, curious. She dropped a kiss to the back of your shoulder, sending a shiver racing down your spine at the intimacy of the gesture.
"That someone like you could, you know, want me..." you explained in a meek voice. It wasn't that you didn't believe you were lovable, more that you found it difficult to believe that someone like her – with an advanced degree, an important job, who also looked like that – would genuinely be attracted to you...
Seeming genuinely confused, she asked, "Why wouldn't I? You're attractive, intelligent, funny..."
You interrupted her list to point out, "I'm also a sex worker, for one thing..."
"True," she agreed, "But that doesn't bother me."
Your brows leapt up your forehead. "Really?"
She seemed surprised by your surprise. "Why should it?" she asked, "It's not as if either of us is looking for a serious relationship." A beat. "Right?"
"Right," you said, with only a moment of hesitation.
_______
You kicked your apartment door shut behind you, dropped your purse on the floor, shucked off your coat (which also dropped to the floor), and kicked off your heels before stumbling into the kitchen to the fridge. You pulled a half-full bottle of wine from the door and pulled the cork out with your teeth, spitting it onto the counter.
Taking a hearty swig, you made your way to your bedroom, where you proceeded to strip out of your clothes, mussed by having hastily redressed on your way out of Alex's apartment when she'd been called in to work.
Once you'd donned your pyjamas and were busily flipping through Netflix (and drinking the wine at remarkable speed), you began to dial Quinn's number before quickly thinking better of it. Instead, you dialled your best friend Lennox's number.
"What?" Lennox answered. Being a night owl, she wasn't bothered by the late hour, only the fact that you'd chosen to call, seeing as she hated talking on the phone.
"I did it."
Clearly annoyed by the lack of detail, she asked, "Did what?" A beat. "And your answer better be really fucking salacious to justify calling me..."
You rolled your eyes. "I fucking finally hooked up with my Tinder lady..."
Now you had her full attention. "Soooo... How was it?" she asked eagerly.
For a moment, you bit your lip in an attempt to stifle a little moan at the memory of being face down, ass up, as Alex pounding relentlessly into you. "Fucking incredible," you raved upon recovering a little of your composure. A beat. "But..."
"But what?" Lennox asked, even more eagerly than before.
With a little huff, you quite reluctantly confessed, "She just wants booty calls..."
"So?" Lennox asked as if you'd just said the stupidest thing in history.
A beat. "I just... I don't know?" You shrugged, even though she couldn't see it. "I'm not the booty call type – I mean, the last time I tried to have a fling, I almost ended up engaged..."
Barking out a laugh, she said, "Babe, listen to me. You deserve to have a little fun in life!"
"I have fun..." you protested, pouting at the implication that you were some kind of boring grandma who never did anything salacious or unpredictable.
You could practically hear Lennox's eye roll over the phone. "If you say so," she scoffed. "But maybe you should do something that normal people consider fun..."
"Like hook ups?" you asked dryly.
"Yes, like hook ups," she replied as if you were being purposely obtuse. "You said she's crazy hot, right?"
You could see where this was going and you didn't like it. "Yes, but..."
"Then, what's the problem?" Lennox demanded. "Be a normal person and have crazy hot sex with a milf while you still can."

Why use a mobile VPN?
A mobile VPN serves as a digital guardian for both personal and business mobile internet use, especially when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks. These networks are prime targets for cybercriminals, but a VPN encrypts your data and online actions, shielding sensitive information like passwords, apps and personal communications from prying eyes. A mobile VPN also provides access to region-restricted content by masking your location, a handy perk for accessing restricted streaming services and online content while traveling. As a business tool, a mobile VPN plays an essential role in securing the online activity of remote workers. A mobile VPN creates a secure tunnel for data transmission wherever employees connect to the internet, including unsecured networks such as public Wi-Fi. This helps preserve sensitive business information from potential breaches and allows employees to securely access corporate resources from various locations while protecting proprietary information. However, while a mobile VPN is a valuable added security layer to protect mobile online activities, it doesn’t wholly defend against identity theft or malware. It’s one part of a comprehensive mobile security strategy.

15 Questions from Mutuals
@withlovefromayre tagged me and although I feel awkward singling anyone else out to tag, I’m happy to answer these questions. Ramble incoming!
Are you named after anyone? This is very embarrassing, but in 2014 I changed my name to one of the regions of a world where a then-favourite game site was set. Five years later, when I couldn’t take the high-tension, high-drama events that site did at least twice a year or the way the site’s staff encouraged the greedy, heartless attitude of most of the other community members, I turned my back on the fandom and have regretted picking that particular name ever since. Either way, I just couldn’t live with my birth name any longer - that never felt like me, to put it mildly.
When was the last time you cried? Last week, when I had two major emotional crises in two days. Sometimes I feel so out of place on 21st century Earth that I want to sue the universe for misincarnation or something.
The second time it happened last week, my mum took me for a walk round the park across the street to help me calm down. Nothing could lift me out of the depths of despair though - until we were nearly home and she picked a dandelion and gave it to me to blow the seeds off. Getting to be a kid again for a couple of seconds helped me to smile again, and pulled me back from the brink. I’m going to buy myself a piece of jewellery with a dandelion on it, so I can remember how much it helped me.
Do you have kids? No, I acknowledge that I’m not cut out to be a parent or a partner. I do consider all nine generations of sims I’ve raised so far to be my babies, though.
Do you use sarcasm a lot? Sometimes, when I’m with someone I know won’t take it personally, like my mum. If I’m being completely honest, I can dish it out but I can’t take it.
What sports do you play/have you played? Truth be told, I’m a couch potato. Sixteen years of depression can do that to a person, though I am trying to get more active and healthy. However, I was very active as a child and I did once win a skipping rope race at my primary school sports day.
What is the first thing you notice about other people? Whether I feel comfortable around them or not. I’m autistic and I find it difficult meeting new people, but there are some people - including my regular support workers - who I’ve clicked with almost instantly. Others, I just get... spiky vibes or something from them.
Scary movies or happy endings? Definitely happy endings. I love musicals and Disney movies - and whatever I watch, it always helps for me to have a box of tissues handy.
Any special talents? I’ve been told I’m very insightful. I’m good at language creation, wordplay, worldbuilding and writing, with a particular flair for comic verse. I can also create and edit mods for Sims 2. One day I’d like to publish fantasy novels for children and young adults who might be going through rough times, to offer comfort and escapism and not hit too close to home by setting them in our world.
Where were you born? Whipps Cross Hospital in Walthamstowe, London. Apparently David Beckham was also born there. *shrugs* Whatever.
What are your hobbies? Mostly it’s Sims 2, reading about and creating various fantasy worlds, solo roleplaying, Plants vs. Zombies 2, and my mum and I are currently hyperfixating on another game app, Two Dots, which I discovered by accident. I also love being out in nature and have planted some wildflower seeds around the park near my home.
Do you have any pets? At the time of writing, I have an aquarium with six fish - one male and three female platies, one rummy nose tetra and one silvertip tetra who is easily the boss of the aquarium - and there’s an indeterminate number of amano shrimp in there too. It’s been nearly 18 months since we had to say goodbye to our elderly dog, Charlie, and I still miss him, it doesn’t feel right without a clueless lump of fur around.
How tall are you? 5′4″.
Fave subject in school? School was a living nightmare for me, but I did enjoy writing and art. I used to cry myself to sleep on nights before geography lessons though, because although I love learning about other cultures, I couldn’t bear hearing about wars and natural disasters.
Eye Colour: Dark brown.

Workplace Meditation Guide: 7 Steps to Boost Focus and Calm Imagine it’s a Monday morning, and you’re back at the office after a relaxing weekend. The coffee hasn’t yet kicked in, emails are piling up, and the chatter of colleagues fills the air. You want to tackle the day, but your mind is racing, jumping from one task to another, and the pressure starts to mount. This scenario is all too familiar for many professionals navigating the fast-paced environment of today’s workplace. The good news is that there’s an effective tool that can help you regain focus, alleviate stress, and promote a sense of calm amidst the chaos: workplace meditation. By integrating simple meditation techniques into your daily routine, you can enhance your cognitive function, reduce anxiety, and create a more peaceful working atmosphere. Understanding the Core Issue Before exploring the benefits of workplace meditation and how to implement it, it’s essential to understand why such techniques are necessary. Here are some core issues prevalent in modern work environments: Constant Distraction: Studies indicate that office workers are interrupted approximately every 3-5 minutes, making it difficult to maintain focus. Increased Stress Levels: According to the American Psychological Association, 61% of adults report that work is a significant source of stress in their lives. Burnout Rates: The World Health Organization has recognized workplace burnout as an increasing concern, indicating that employees are feeling the weight of their responsibilities. Incorporating meditation can address these issues, as research supports its impact on mental clarity and emotional well-being. Practical Tips and Strategies Let’s dive into the practical steps you can take to integrate meditation into your workplace routine. Step 1: Set a Dedicated Time Establish a consistent time for your meditation practice. This can be during a break, right before starting your workday, or when you feel particularly overwhelmed. Consistency is key to developing a habit. Example: Consider scheduling a 10-minute meditation session at the beginning of your lunch break. This can serve as a refreshment before tackling the afternoon tasks. Step 2: Create a Comfortable Space Identify a quiet spot in your workplace where you can meditate without interruptions. It doesn’t need to be a designated room; a corner of your office or even a break room can work. Tip: Use noise-canceling headphones to block out distractions, or keep a small meditation cushion handy for added comfort. Step 3: Focus on Your Breathing Breath awareness is a fundamental aspect of meditation. To begin, focus on your breathing; inhale deeply through your nose, hold it for a moment, and then exhale slowly through your mouth. Practice: Try the 4-7-8 technique: Inhale for 4 seconds Hold for 7 seconds Exhale for 8 seconds This technique helps anchor your thoughts and reduces feelings of stress. Step 4: Use Guided Meditations If you’re new to meditation, guided sessions can provide structure and direction. There are several apps available that offer short, workplace-appropriate sessions. Recommendation: Apps like Headspace or Calm have specific time-limited meditations for busy professionals. Step 5: Incorporate Mindfulness into Your Tasks You don’t always have to stop for a formal meditation session. Mindfulness can be integrated into your regular tasks. This means being fully present in whatever you are doing. Example: While you’re typing an email, focus solely on the content and how you express your thoughts, rather than letting your mind wander to other tasks. Step 6: Reflect on Your Experience Take a few moments after each meditation session to reflect. How do you feel? Is there a difference in your stress levels or focus? Keeping a journal can help track your progress and the impact of your practice over time. Reflection Prompt: Write down one thing you noticed about your focus or calmness after each session.
Step 7: Encourage Colleagues to Join Meditation can be even more effective when shared. Form a group or suggest a workplace meditation initiative to your team. Collectively participating fosters a supportive environment. Tip: You could organize a weekly meditation session at a set time, promoting team bonding and shared benefits. Real-Life Examples To illustrate the positive impact of workplace meditation, let’s look at a few relatable anecdotes. Case Study 1: Sarah's Story Sarah, a project manager in a corporate setting, found her job increasingly overwhelming. Juggling multiple projects while managing deadlines left her feeling stressed and less productive. After researching meditation techniques, she decided to dedicate just 10 minutes of her lunch break to meditate. To her surprise, she noticed a significant change; her energy levels improved, she was able to focus better, and her interactions with colleagues became more positive. Within a few weeks, Sarah also started to invite her team to join her for short meditation sessions, creating a supportive environment where everyone benefited from a moment of calm. Case Study 2: Tom's Journey Tom worked in a high-pressure sales role. He realized that anxiety was hindering his performance. After attending a workshop on workplace wellness that included guided meditation, he decided to give it a try. He started with just 5 minutes each morning before starting his day. Within a month, Tom felt more in control of his thoughts and emotions. His productivity soared, and his stress levels significantly decreased. Tom now champions meditation practices during team meetings, helping others to see the value it brings. Overcoming Challenges While the idea of incorporating meditation into your workday is promising, it’s not without challenges. Here’s how to address some common obstacles: Challenge: Time Constraints Solution: Even a few minutes of meditation can be beneficial. Start small; set aside just 5 minutes daily and gradually increase the duration as you become more comfortable. Challenge: Distractions During Meditation Solution: If you find yourself distracted by your environment, practice mindfulness breathing techniques or consider using headphones with calming nature sounds. Challenge: Skepticism About Effectiveness Solution: Encourage an open dialogue about meditation benefits at work. Share research and statistics you’ve found or promote a pilot initiative to demonstrate its impact. Seeing positive changes in others can help shift opinions. Conclusion Introducing meditation into your workplace is more than just a trend; it’s a practical approach to fostering focus and calm in an often chaotic environment. By gradually implementing these seven steps, you can create a personal ritual that not only benefits your own mental health but also contributes to a more supportive work culture. As you embark on this journey, remember the action-oriented takeaway: Commit to investing just a few minutes each day in meditation. You might be surprised at the transformative effects it can have on your performance, well-being, and overall workplace atmosphere. So, why not give it a try today?

The Best Farm Security: Exploring Farm CCTV Cameras, 3G Security Cameras, and Mobile CCTV Cameras
In today’s world, where safety is a big concern, farm owners are looking for reliable security solutions to protect their land, livestock, equipment, and property. Farms, which are often located in remote areas, require special care when it comes to security systems. This is where farm CCTV cameras, 3G security cameras, and mobile CCTV cameras become helpful.
Why Do Farms Need CCTV Cameras?
Farms are often spread over large areas, making it difficult to monitor every corner. Theft, vandalism, and unauthorized access are common problems. CCTV cameras act as a watchful eye, recording every movement and ensuring safety.
Some reasons why farms need CCTV cameras include:
Protection Against Theft: Livestock, tools, and machinery are valuable assets that need constant security.
Monitoring Activities: Keep track of workers, deliveries, and other activities happening on the farm.
Emergency Alerts: CCTV cameras with motion detection can alert you in case of unexpected movements during odd hours.
Insurance Benefits: Security footage can serve as evidence in case of theft or damage, helping with insurance claims.
What is a Farm CCTV Camera?
A farm CCTV camera is specially designed to handle outdoor conditions like rain, dust, and extreme temperatures. These cameras come with durable designs and features such as night vision, long-range viewing, and high-resolution recording.
Some popular features of farm CCTV cameras include:
Weather Resistance: Built to withstand rough weather.
Wide-Angle View: Covers large areas for better surveillance.
Remote Monitoring: View live footage from your phone or computer.
Night Vision: Keeps your farm secure even in complete darkness.
Installing these cameras at entry points, livestock areas, and storage facilities ensures complete farm security.
Why Choose 3G Security Cameras for Your Farm?
One of the main challenges on farms is the lack of internet connectivity. Traditional CCTV cameras require Wi-Fi to function, but that’s not always possible in remote areas. This is where 3G security cameras come in handy.
3G security cameras use mobile networks to transmit data, making them perfect for farms without reliable Wi-Fi. Some benefits of 3G security cameras are:
No Wi-Fi Required: Operates smoothly in areas with limited internet options.
Real-Time Alerts: Sends notifications to your phone about suspicious activities.
Easy Installation: Wireless setup reduces the need for complicated wiring.
Portable: Can be relocated easily according to your needs.
With 3G security cameras, you can stay connected to your farm’s security even if you are far away.
Mobile CCTV Cameras: The Flexible Security Option
If you’re looking for a versatile and portable solution, mobile CCTV cameras are a great choice. These cameras are compact, wireless, and easy to set up. They are ideal for temporary setups or areas where fixed cameras cannot be installed.
How Mobile CCTV Cameras Help on Farms:
Temporary Surveillance: Useful during events like harvest time or construction projects.
Battery-Powered Options: Operates in areas without electricity.
360-Degree Monitoring: Some models offer full-range coverage.
Live Streaming: Watch activities on your phone while on the go.
These cameras are highly flexible and can be used to secure barns, greenhouses, or any other areas requiring additional attention.
Choosing the Right Camera for Your Farm
When selecting a CCTV camera for your farm, keep the following points in mind:
Durability: Opt for cameras that can handle tough weather conditions.
Range: Ensure the camera covers the required area effectively.
Power Source: Decide between battery-operated or wired cameras based on the availability of electricity.
Storage Capacity: Choose a camera with sufficient storage or cloud backup options.
Ease of Use: Look for cameras with a user-friendly mobile app for remote monitoring.
Investing in a good-quality camera will save you money and protect your farm in the long run.
Benefits of Farm CCTV Cameras
Using advanced CCTV cameras provides the following advantages:
Helps in managing farm operations more efficiently.
Deters potential intruders or thieves.
Reduces stress by allowing remote monitoring.
Ensures the safety of animals, crops, and workers.
These security solutions are not just a luxury but a necessity for modern farms.
Final Thoughts
Farm security is essential for every farm owner. Whether you need a robust farm CCTV camera, a 3G security camera, or a flexible mobile CCTV camera, each of these options is designed to keep your property safe. With these cameras, you can focus on growing your farm business without worrying about security concerns.

The people whining and crying about the shooter being right wing must know 0 right wing people beyond what they see on the internet. They're the ones planning shit like that. Most shooters are right wing because liberals and a lot of leftists faint at the sight of a gun, forgetting they can be quite handy.
I live in the deep south, and I see morons on this app talking about the right wing not understanding class solidarity (ik the shooter was a trust fund baby, but this is about the comments on him being right wing. Not his class)
That is hilarious coming from the same people who think the most impoverished area of the USA should be washed away in hurricanes because of outdated, idiotic stereotypes. No one understands class solidarity better than blue collar workers and farmers across this country. They get screwed over the most. Y'all really need to have conversations with them beyond politicians. Conservatives will vote conservative. They're no different than the "vote blue no matter who" crowd. Go beyond that level of discussion.
You'll learn how much they hate these rich fucks and want them purged. But "boohoo they're right wing," am I right? "Wahhh they fell for false promises just like I did, just on the other side!!" I'd rather have a right winger who gets shit done than a liberal or leftist who bitches and moans behind a keyboard, relying on petitions and boycotts.
Frankly, I still support the Claims Adjuster™. He actually did something about it. Y'all whine about the right wing and class solidarity, but it was a right wing trust fund baby that took out a ceo who shit on the poor for funsies. With how fast y'all's opinions switch up, it's obvious why the left can't get jack shit done.
And I say all of this as a socialist. I'm not right wing. I just don't have my head shoved up my own ass like half of y'all seem to.

Saturday Morning Coffee
Good morning from Charlottesville, Virginia! ☕️
It was nice having a short week to ease back into work, and a slow week at that as we headed into a four day weekend.
Yesterday I hit 57, the big 60 is hiding just around the corner and the walk to retirement age is just around the corner from that. It’s strange. I don’t feel that old mentally. My body is broken but my spirit and mind are doing fine.
On with the linkage! Enjoy. 😀
Eleanor Beardsley and Chandelis Duster • NPR
French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, took a tour of the cathedral early on Friday. Macron marveled at the soaring light stone ceilings — now cleansed of soot and centuries of grime — as he toured the more than 800 year old restored cathedral.
With all the bad news in the world I thought I’d share some hope. It was so depressing to see Notre Dame burn. But it’s back! That’s something to celebrate.
Benjamin Sandofsky
I’ve been thinking a lot about how social networks die, these past two years. It’s an unusually personal topic. In 2009, I picked up my life to move to San Francisco and work for Twitter. I joined a startup you could fit around a giant lunch table, and left a corporation with thousands of employees and hundreds of millions of users.
Watching Twitter disappear was a real loss for the web. It was mostly a great place, at least for me, and it opened us all up to a new form of communication and breaking news. We could follow our favorite news organizations and movie stars and on occasion even interact with them. It was great. Now it’s just one big dumpster fire.
Seeing ActivityPub and AT Proto come along has been a breath of fresh air. Could you imagine if Twitter was still Twitter and embraced AT Proto? That would’ve been something.

While Javascript is unavoidable, here’s how I think one should try to limit its spread.
JavaScript is eating the world, just like C did in the 80’s and early 90’s.
I’d call WillowTree a premier native iOS and Android shop, amongst other things, and now we’re doing a lot more React Native and TypeScript. I know of native iOS Apps that use JavaScript internally for business logic. It’s handy. It’s an ugly language but useful.

Formula 1 on Monday at last said it will expand its grid in 2026 to make room for an American team that is partnered with General Motors.
I’m very excited for this! I’ve wanted to see an American manufacturer back in F1 for quite a while. I know Redbull is working with Ford on a new power unit but it’s nice to see Cadillac dedicated to the entire sport. They will become my new team on the grid. I’ve low key supported Haas for a number of years and always wanted them to switch to an American power unit manufacturer. Maybe they will at some point. Haas runs Ford motors in NASCAR why not move to them for F1 if they can get Ford behind them.
Michelle Del Ray • The Independent
Amazon workers are planning to strike from Black Friday through Cyber Monday to hold the company accountable for “labor abuses, environmental degradation and threats to democracy,” organizers say.
I didn’t pay attention to this yesterday so I wonder how things went?
Hestia
I had never done anything even vaguely approaching web development before I made this site. I probably couldn’t have even told you what it meant. I did have a bit of coding experience (I used a lot of python for my degree), but this was very different. I could not have done it without the help of the people who came before me and were generous enough to create guides for the rest of us. These are the resources I used the most
Neat! I love seeing folks who’ve never done this kind of work pull something beautiful together. Great work!
Mia Sato • The Verge
In her lawsuit, Gifford alleges that Sheil copied her, down to specific frames in videos. She claims that repeated pattern and Sheil’s uncannily similar content ultimately cut into Gifford’s own earnings. The similarities extend, in Gifford’s telling, beyond just video content to eerie real-life aspects like her manner of speaking, appearance, and even tattoos.
This is kind of weird. Was it intentional or did it just happen? It seems that’s the lynchpin to the case.
Rob Knight
I’ve been helping getting MacStories setup on Bluesky this weekend and I came across a few handy sites.
I’ve been using Bluesky a bit more now that I can follow more folks I know and those famous people I like. More tools, please.
Will this be a big enough thing for folks like Iconfactory and Tapbots to enter the market?

Most people writing code that ends up running on macOS machines aren’t super familiar with the operating system, its unique features or its rough edges. That’s okay! If you’re a programmer using macOS and your code will actually end up running on a Mac rather than a server somewhere or whatever – even if your software isn’t a user-facing graphical application – then this post is for you.
I know concurrency support in Swift 6.0 is a big topic of conversation but I gotta be honest, I find it terribly confusing. Old school threading and rules around it are so much easier to grasp.
Of course I need to dive into the Swift 6.0 version of concurrency. But I think it’s good to learn it at a lower level.
Manton Reece
Comparing ActivityPub and AT Proto is a useful exercise. It’s tempting but ultimately too simple to say that one is decentralized and one is centralized.
AT Proto is something I’d like to know more about. It’s so different but it does seem quite powerful and I wonder if parts of AT Proto could be used under ActivityPub? It seems to me like it could, unfortunately I can’t remember the name of the part I’m referring to.
Mond
I don’t know about you, but if I were to look at all of this as an outsider, it sure would look as if C++ is basically falling apart, and as if a vast amount of people lost faith in the ability of C++’s committee to somehow stay on top of this.
I can only imagine how difficult it must be to maintain backward compatibility for a language as old as C++ and continue to advance it.
I hope it doesn’t splinter and make a mess out of a tried and true low level programming language. There’s so much code out there that needs to continue working and advancing the language without breaking things is crazy challenging.

The experience of grocery shopping has changed a lot in the past few years, especially with the rise of meat and seafood delivery apps. These platforms are revolutionizing the fresh meat and seafood delivery experience by offering unprecedented convenience, quality, and variety.

This change affects not only how people buy food but also larger trends in how people eat, how sustainable food is, and how convenient food is.
