"I Just Don't Think That's Going To Happen"

Good news: I finally made a new comic!

Bad news: It's about something that sucks! If the good news here outweighs the bad, maybe support me on Patreon.

In the midst of talking about how much this sucks, I am extremely fortunate to even be able to move to somewhere safer. Please support those who can't, or who need a helping hand to go somewhere they can be themselves. (Give trans people money)

[Image description: Comic, sixteen panels. Panel 1: Robin speaking on her phone, clearly distressed, tears in her eyes: "I'm telling you that I'm scared. These people-- the kind of people you vote for-- want to take my health care, my rights away from me. I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave my home." The voice from the phone answers: "Well," Large dialogue text in a large white space between panels: "I just don't think that's going to happen." Panel 2: Robin, wide eyes still tearing up, stares in disbelief at her phone. Panel 3: A website heading "Home > News" above a headline that reads "Utah just banned gender-affirming healthcare for transgender kids. These 21 other states are considering similar bills in 2023."

peach kisses - tf11

pairing: trent frederic x f!reader warnings: urm, smut :), oral f!receiving, unprotected sex (wrap it before you tap it pls) word count: 2k + authors note: yeah, i wrote a fic about the lip balm i use, what are you gonna do about it. do recommend it though. laneige lip glowy balm in peach. happy missouri Monday bitches

you didn’t think anything of it when you applied the lip balm before you left for work. it was a new one but you had heard rave reviews about it from your friends so when your last tube ran out, you went out and bought it. there were a few flavours you could pick from but peach stood out to you and that was the one that made it into your basket.

trent had just walked in the door following morning practice and as was tradition in your relationship, you pressed a kiss to his lips before you jumped in your car to drive into the city. he wasn’t the type of guy who noticed if you got a new lip balm, mainly because he just wanted your lips on his. but this time was different.

you popped yourself up onto your tip toes and pressed a chaste kiss to his lips but when you went to pull away, a hand worked its way to the back of your neck. pulling you in for another kiss. or many kisses.

trent knew something was different but he couldn’t place it until he gently pushed his tongue against your lips. peach. you tasted like a sweet peach on a summers day. and he couldn’t get enough. you opened your mouth, letting his tongue explore all of your mouth. no matter how familiar it was to him, he would always explore.

a thud of trent’s equipment bag on the floor startled you and you pulled away once more but again you were coaxed into another kiss.

“im gonna be late for work baby,” you mumbled against his lips.

“just another taste princess peach. just a quick one.”

you sat in your car, looking in the small mirror on the sun visor. your lips were plump following the repeated application of the new lip balm that you discovered that trent oh so loved. your lashes were coated with a thin coat of mascara as they always were at work and you swiped the brush across your lashes to just enhance them.

the front door to your apartment was unlocked, which wasn’t unusual for when one of you was at home so you walked in and placed your work bag on the hook that was designated for you. the clang of your keys in the bowl startled you as it did every time. you really needed to tell trent that you wanted a different bowl for the keys but it just fit the aesthetic of the hallway and living space.

trent rounded the corner, sweatpants hanging dangerously low on his hips, a half eaten protein bar between his fingers. he must have just finished his workout.

“back already princess peach?” he asked, using the nickname he gave you that morning. you nodded before taking a few steps towards him. your eyes flicked up and down his body and you couldn’t believe how lucky you were to be dating trent.

“how was your workout?” you looked up into his eyes as you followed the ridges of his arm with your index finger. the muscles were defined from years of hockey and training, along with manhandling you in bed.

“was good,” he replied, finishing his protein bar and tucking the wrapper into his pocket. “missed my cheerleader though.”

your eyes rolled involuntarily at his comment. he loved it when you worked out with him, the way your ass looked in the tiny shorts you only wore around him. the way your sports bra pushed your tits up and almost directly into his face. it was a miracle that he didn’t shove you down on a bench and fuck you then and there.

“your cheerleader does have a job you know,” you sassed back, turning around to walk into the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee.

“im aware,” he responded as he followed you to the kitchen. he watched as you collected a coffee pod and popped it into the Keurig to make yourself your afternoon caffeine boost. “make me one too?” he pulled the puppy dog eyes that you couldn’t say no to.

“hazelnut latte?” you queried. you were almost 100% sure that he’d want his usual hazelnut latte but there was that little part of you that thought he might go for something different.

“you know it princess,” he emptied out the protein bar wrapper from his pocket, along with a receipt from when he bought a coffee earlier. trent was notorious for hoarding receipts in his pockets and there had been one too many times where you had forgotten to check his pockets and everything was covered in paper.

you brewed his coffee and handed him his mug of steaming liquid. the drink you had made for yourself had cooled down enough so you could take a large sip. it didn’t burn on the way down like it did in the mornings.

“you always make my coffee perfect, princess,” trent exclaimed as he downed half of his drink in one go.

“i put the pod in the machine,” you laughed. “im not a barista.”

“you could be,” he suggested before finishing the rest of his coffee.

the silence between the two of you was comfortable. you tried to sneak a look at trent as he moved across to put his empty mug in the dishwasher. but he noticed. he always noticed.

“c’mere princess,” trent opened his arms, encouraging you to come in for a hug. you obliged him and rested your cheek on his right pec as his arms engulfed you. the pair of you swayed slightly before he reached into his back pocket and connected his phone up to the speakers in the kitchen. it was just a relaxing playlist that you often put on when you were cleaning around the house or in the bath.

trent tilted his head down and pressed his lips against yours gently. the peach taste of your lip balm had faded slightly but it was still there and he loved it.

the stubble on his upper lip tickled you and it was still an strange feeling for him to grow out any facial hair. but by god you were thankful for playoff beards. the beard burn lasted on your thighs for days but it was beautiful.

his kisses never became harder or faster. they were just as controlled as they were at the start but you could feel his cock hardening in his sweatpants between your ass cheeks. but you didn’t need anything more just yet.

you turned around in his grasp and tangled your hands in his hair, pulling him back down to join his lips with yours. trent moved his hands from your waist to wrap around your neck, pulling you in closer. your bodies were flush with each other, heat radiating off his bare chest onto your clothed top half.

trent’s kisses started getting hotter and he bit down gently on your bottom lip. you gasped into his mouth and he slipped his tongue into your mouth. one of his hands moved from the back of your neck to cup one of the globes of your ass. his fingers gently massaged the muscle as he continued to kiss you deeply.

the peach flavour on your lips had gone and he was missing it. “put the lip thing back on,” he spoke breathily. “tastes fucking delicious.”

you reached down to your pocket and grabbed it out. trent wstched you as you unscrewed the cap and applied the moisturising balm. as soon as you put the lid back on the tube, his lips were on yours.

his arms lifted you up to place you on the kitchen counter, all whilst still kissing you. your hands tangled themselves in his hair, tugging gently at the locks.

trent’s nimble fingers moved to undo the buttons of your blouse. you had picked a floral one that you paired with black pants and your power heels. your outfits were always a power move and it was just another reason why trent loved you.

you shrugged yourself out of the blouse, leaving your top half in just the pink lace bra you put on following your morning shower. trent mumbled a few curses under his breath as he took you in. a couple of half healed love bites on your upper chest, a bite mark left from the other night. you were beautiful. and all his.

he felt his cock harden as his fingers worked the soft flesh of your breasts. two fingers found one pert nipple and started rolling it. you moaned with pleasure into his mouth, tugging on his hair silently asking for more.

trent obliged by moving his hands to unclasp the bra, then threw it to the other side of the kitchen, not caring where it landed. as one hand made its way back to cup a breast, the other cupped your cheek, deepening the kiss.

your hands moved down his body, quickly grabbing his ass. one of your hands snaked round to the front of his sweatpants and snuck underneath them to discover that he had foregone boxers once again. you wrapped your hand around his shaft and began to pump lightly.

the kisses you shared became hotter and hotter as you felt the wetness between your thighs become more noticeable and trent’s hips bucking up into your hand. it was only a matter of time until his resolve broke.

it took him a few attempts to undo the button at the top of your pants but eventually he got there and undid the zipper too.

“hips up princess, need to see if this pussy tastes as sweet as your lips,” he mumbled into your neck as he pressed hot, wet kisses into the skin there.

in one swift movement, he pulled down your pants and matching panties and settled between your legs. his tongue explored the crevices of your cunt before he wrapped his lips around your clit.

“oh fuck baby,” you shouted as he finally paid attention to where you needed him most. his arms hooked under your legs to place them over his shoulders as he feasted on your wanting cunt.

“pussy tastes so good princess,” trent moaned into you. you couldn’t think properly any more. all you could do was enjoy the feeling of you being treated by his tongue.

your hands made it back to his hair, using it to ground yourself so your hips could move on his face, utilising the stubble to add to the friction on your clit.

a finger circled your entrance and you cried out in pleasure when trent slowly inserted it into you. the pressure that had built up in your lower abdomen was teetering towards exploding.

“fuck,” you spoke breathily, struggling to get any words out as he slipped another finger in, curling them to find the spongy spot inside you.

“let go for me princess,” he whispered as his lips wrapped around your clit before sucking a pattern on it that he knew would make you come.

and come hard you did. your thighs wrapped around his head as your hips moved of their own accord on his face. your hands gripped his hair for dear life as time stopped for you. the pleasure the man between your legs gave you was unmatched. he always had you seeing stars and hearing colours.

the orgasm lasted longer than you realised as when you came back around, trent was stood up between your legs, sweatpants still on but a visible damp patch was where the head of his cock laid.

“you want to go to bed?” he asked as he tucked a piece of hair back behind your ear. you shook your head as you looked into his eyes. his pupils were dilated heavily as he felt your hands move from the kitchen counter to the waistband of his sweatpants.

you smirked as you pulled down his sweatpants, his weeping cock sprung up. the bright red head needed to be sucked on, you thought. but as you made your way to the edge of the counter, trent stopped you.

“you can suck me off later,” he groaned as he grasped the base of his shaft. “i need you now, it’s not going to be quick.” he explained as he edged closer to you, swiping his cock through your slick to lubricate himself.

the burn as he pushed his cock into you was everything you needed and more. your bare chest pushed into his and trent started thrusting into you.

his pace wasn’t brutal but the force he used was. every thrust was hard and controlled. his lips found yours again and he pulled your body into his.

the head of his cock kept hitting that sweet spot inside you and before you could say anything, you were constricting around trent’s length.

“come for me again princess,” he said between thrusts. his hair fell into his face but it didn’t matter, he didn’t care, as he was so close to orgasm.

you obliged him, eyes rolling back in your head, head resting on his shoulder as he made you see stars once again.

“fuck, squeezing me so tight,” he groaned before a few sloppy thrusts into you. he came hard inside you, coating your walls with his come.

your foreheads leant against each others, gasping for air as you both caught your breath back.

“fucking princess peach,” trent laughed.

“i know what our halloween costume is going to be this year,” you giggled.

“you’d better be in only a peach set of underwear with that sinful lip thing on too.”

Jess Piper at The View from Rural Missouri:

I am also the typical rural woman, with one exception…I am a progressive. And I’m loud. And I have a large platform. And I call out the GOP, which is why what I’m about to tell you might not shock you: my family was swatted. The swat unfolded in such an odd manner. I was gardening — no surprise — and I heard my dogs start barking. They do this when anyone pulls into the drive. I looked up to see a County Sheriff’s SUV parked down the drive. He didn’t pull up close to the house. My first instinct was panic. We have four adult children and my first thought was that something had happened to one of my kids.

The deputy was apprehensive which made me even more nervous. Then I saw he had a piece of paper in his hand. Whew! I thought maybe he was looking for someone or that I had a summons or something of the sort. He stood away from me and asked if my name was Jessica. He knew the answer, he lives down the highway, but I affirmed it. He then asked me how many kids I have. Again…panic. I asked him what this was about? He walked up to me and handed over the piece of paper he was holding. It was a printed email that had been sent to several law enforcement offices and several state offices in Missouri…it had even been mailed to my local water department. The email claimed to be from a close family relation. The letter stated that the family member had murdered me and my husband the night before. It went on to state that they intended to shoot and kill anyone who came on the property. [...]

This is going to be a long list. I can think of several state legislators who would like to see police storming my house with guns drawn. I get threats nearly every week online, but I brush them off as bots. And, then something came to mind that happened last week… I wrote a tweet last week that got the attention of an account called “The Libs of Tik Tok.”

I wrote about a doctor at the fatal Trump rally who gave medical attention to the fireman who later died at the rally. I talked about being so confused to see a doctor, an OBGYN, wearing a MAGA hat and shirt. In the tweet, I spoke about not wanting to think about the treatment an immigrant or a person of color or a woman in need of an abortion would receive from that doctor. I was horrified to know that a practicing physician could support Trump. There is an important distinction for me: The doctor wasn’t your ordinary, run-of-the-mill, conservative Republican. He attended a rally in which others had signs for mass deportation and concentration camps. That’s not okay. The tweet took off, but nothing too wild until that evening. I saw my phone blow up. I muted the tweet, but it was being quote-tweeted. A lot. So, I caved and looked at what was going on. It was the “Libs of Tik Tok.” Shit. Here we go. They were not only threatening me on Twitter, they found me on Facebook and started replying to my posts. They moved to my Tik Tok account and did the same thing. I spent a couple hours blocking and deleting comments and then really didn’t think much more about it. I thought it was over.

[...] Raichik uses her platform to harass teachers and LGBTQ folks especially, but anyone in general. I am a former teacher and a progressive activist…prime for the attack. Her minions often call in bomb threats and send police officers to the doors of progressives. Someone pulled my swatting off, but there is something they should know: I was rattled, but not terrorized. You didn’t win. I am a rural woman…most in my community know me and my politics. When an email came in claiming to be a close relation who shot and killed me, they thought better than to send a SWAT team out. They knew it sounded off because they know of me. They sent my neighbor, the Deputy Sheriff. They were right.

Read this Substack post from Jess Piper, and it’s very frightening. Piper and her family were swatted recently at their home, and anti-LGBTQ+ extremist account Libs of TikTok (run by domestic terrorist Chaya Raichik) incited the swatting.

Chapters will be under the #tombstuck-knucklehead tag, and I will also link them on the "Read Knucklehead" page on the header of my tumblr site.

Brandon Campbell got out of his car to start another shift at the grocery store. Brandon lived in Cohocton, Missouri, but the grocery store he worked at wasn’t in Cohocton, because nothing was in Cohocton. Nothing except homophobes and Baptist churches. 

And a high school. The very one that Brandon had graduated from earlier that month. He had done nothing since then except do his part-time job at the grocery store.

He went to clock in and saw a familiar face.

“Rodney, hey,” he said, a few different emotions running through his head. Rodney had been his best friend while he was still in school, and they were even on the basketball team together. But he was a year younger than Brandon.

Rodney looked up at him, nodding in greeting. “What’s up, Bran?”

“Oh, not much. Just making some money. You work here now?” He asked.

“Yeah, I just wanted to make some extra money. I’m saving to move out.” Rodney hesitated. “Um, you been pretty absent since you graduated. Everything okay?”

“Yeah, man. Sorry about that. I’ve just been hanging with Nat and she can get kinda…” He trailed off. In reality, he had been doing absolutely nothing except working and isolating himself.

“Yeah, I get it. Hey, at least you’re starting college in August, right?”

“Uhhhh, no.”

“Oh,” Rodney answered. “My bad, I assumed. Sorry.” 

“No worries, man. Anyway, we better clock in.”

He bought Rodney a coke on their lunch break to try to make up for not hanging out that month. He also received a text, from someone he wasn’t expecting.

Hey. Wanna hang out? It was from Norm, another one of Brandon’s friends from school. He had graduated at the same time as Brandon.

I’m at work. Later tonite? Brandon answered.

Hell yeah.

It was strange that Norm had texted him. Hearing from two of his old basketball friends on the same day a month after graduation was a big coincidence. He hadn’t been that close with Norm when they were in school, either. Well, close enough to have exchanged phone numbers, but still.

Norm texted Brandon his address, and after work, he headed over to Norm’s house.

He lived in Green Meadows, which was a small trailer park in Cohocton. He parked in front of Norm’s house after checking the number, then got out. A dog barked at him. He knocked on the door.

“Bran!” Norm yelled after answering the door, smiling. He looked about the same as he had a month ago. He was wearing an old Zelda t-shirt with a million holes in it, and sporting his same old mullet and septum ring. Brandon had kind of forgotten that he was attracted to Norm, but the feeling came back as he smiled at the greeting, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

“Hey, man. What’s up?” he said.

“Dude, I watched this movie. Come in, come in— I watched this movie where these people went on a picnic,” He walked into the house, and saw who he assumed was Norm’s mom asleep on the couch. Norm was slurring his words a bit and his gait was uneven. “And I just had this real bad hankering to just like, eat a sandwich on a blanket outside.”

“Oh, wow,” Brandon said. He didn’t really know what else to say. He remembered Norm always getting drunk after basketball games, whether they would win or not. It seemed it had become a habit now.

“Bran, you gotta have a picnic with me,” Norm insisted. 

Brandon laughed. “A picnic? I guess so. That’s so random.”

Norm was running around his kitchen gathering items to make sandwiches. “No, it’ll be amazing, seriously.”

He made two bologna sandwiches and put them in sandwich bags. He dashed messily into the living room, and grabbed a blanket off the back of the couch where his mom still slept. “Come on!”

Brandon drove them and their picnic supplies to the nearest park. The day was extremely nice, with a light breeze blowing and the sun shining, and big puffy clouds floating through the sky. Brandon guessed he was happier to be here with Norm outside on a nice day than cramped up in his room at home.

Norm seemed to deliberate on the best spot for their picnic, before finally laying the blanket out on a nice patch of grass. He plopped unceremoniously down onto the blanket and Brandon sat next to him. The blanket wasn’t very big, so they were sitting pretty close.

Brandon ate his sandwich pretty quickly because he was hungry from work, but Norm didn’t seem too interested in his. He would take a little nibble now and then but mostly he was looking at the sky. 

“Not hungry?” Brandon asked.

“Oh, nah, not really. I just had to bring it to really evoke the feeling of a picnic.” He answered. “When I drink I don’t really get that hungry. I drink too much these days. That’s why I’m getting so skinny.” He felt at his ribs, no doubt feeling the bones underneath his skin.

“Have you ever thought about quitting?” Brandon asked.

“Oh, nah. I don’t really have any other way to cope with stuff, you know?” Norm answered, looking over at Brandon and shrugging.

Norm put his sandwich back in its baggie and laid down with his head on the blanket and his legs in the grass.

“Dude, you gotta see this!” Norm said and pulled Brandon down on the ground with him. He laughed and landed next to Norm with their heads together. Norm pointed upwards. “It’s a mermaid!”

Cloud gazing, Brandon thought with a rush. I’m cloud gazing with Norm while we’re on a picnic. What has my life become?

“I see a dog, I think,” Brandon said.

“What? No that’s definitely a mermaid. And look over there! It’s a little guy running,” Norm exclaimed.

Brandon was enjoying himself, for once lately. He didn’t want their picnic to end, but eventually they mutually decided to get up and pack up the picnic blanket and Norm’s uneaten sandwich and head back to Norm’s house. 

Norm was headed up the front steps of his house, but hesitated at the door and turned around. “I had a lot of fun today, Bran. Thanks for taking me.”

That’s similar to what Natalie said to me after our first date, Brandon thought, but didn’t say. 

“Yeah, man. Me too. No sweat. We should hang out again soon.” Brandon said, smiling. Norm waved cutely and smiled brightly. Brandon waved back.

Driving home, Brandon felt at once excited and uncomfortable about the time he had just spent with Norm. On the one hand, it was his first human contact besides his parents and coworkers for 2 weeks. On the other hand, he did have a beautiful girlfriend — Natalie— and spending time with someone else he found attractive felt a bit wrong.

He wondered, though. Is Norm still thinking about me too?

road trip slide show!

It’s not the destination, but the journey” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Road-trip to view the 2024 total Solar Eclipse in Missouri, USA was packed with experiences (only 3 minutes of which was viewing the total eclipse). See/read the slide show under the cut!

Our journey started on Saturday and we expected to spend at least 5-6 hours in the car each day (it is 12 hours drive time to our eclipse viewing location in Missouri). Actual time spent on road each day was around 9 🤣 - so our greatest effort on the math figuring out how long our days would be. Ufda, getting to your Airbnb at 9pm each day is exhausting.

There are three humans and one animal on this trip, myself, husband, friend, and friend’s dog.

First event we experienced: the Mississippi River!

Now this needs some background - I live 3 minute drive away from the Mississippi in Minnesota. Could walk to it if I wanted. I’ve been to the headwaters in Itasca, MN and the delta in Louisiana. I cross this river almost daily for the grocery store or to see family … it’s like a big part of life where I live.

We arrived in Guttenberg, IA to Lock and Dam #10 and I’m like - ooh big river! Hey guys, which River is this?

🤔

Yeah, the big River here in this part of the United States is …. The Mississippi River. 🤦

Laughs all around - we enjoyed a short walk near the lock and dam, enjoyed all the fun street names, found a bathroom, and got back on the road.

By the way - one of our road trip companions was very cute and a very good puppers for the entire trip. Just amazing!

So day two - husbeast (husband) loudly stated a desire for a roadside attraction during today’s driving. The world’s biggest something, or weirdest whatever …. Something cool. Our friend did some kick butt research and found …. American Giants museum in Atlanta, Illinois. A mere 15 minutes off the hwy; and we were incredibly fortunate cause it was the first weekend they were open on Sundays too!

Upon entering the main downtown area we were greeted by: Paul Bunyon (hot dog man)

And our Minnesota hearts were so happy to see this large giant friend who is also a Paul Bunyan - but different name spelling cause of copyright issues 🤣🤣🤣 (or so the sign stated).

The dog was NOT a fan of hot dog Paul Bunyon man, but we were!

And the museum - y’all it was top notch! A single room, but like, FABULOUS write ups for the history of the Big Friends fiberglass works. Just awesome. The volunteers - also top notch. So friendly and happy to chat.

And if you’re anywhere near there, Memorial Day weekend they are getting one of the last remaining 6 Texaco giants!

Back on the road and onto our next stop which was ….St. Louis and the Gateway Arch.

And guess what! We saw a BIG RIVER! Hey guys, which River is this ….. it’s the Mississippi, still. 🤣🤣

Back on the road to Union, MO to rest up for ECLIPSE DAY!

Many many many friends and family informed us that the traffic TO the eclipse would be pretty good … but leaving the eclipse location would double or triple driving time. WORTH IT!

Many people have written about viewing an eclipse, how it’s an amazing experience. The highlights for me?

When the sun is totally eclipsed you are able to see SUNSET colors at the horizon EVERYWHERE - which is just like …. I love clouds and sunsets and that was AWESOME

Again, totally eclipsed you can see STARS (maybe it’s a planet?) - like the brightest starts are visible!

as the sun returns, the sky opposite the sun looks like twilight, while the light illuminating your front is like day. It’s wild.

total drive time on eclipse day:

1.5 hours from Airbnb to eclipse viewing spot

4 hours to travel same distance away from eclipse

Oh, and side note, traveling to our overnight after the eclipse, we crossed the Mississippi again. “Hey guys, what big river is this?” 🤣

The eclipse was a real highlight of the trip. But not the only highlight.

On the final day of travel, our picnic lunch location took us to a small town in Iowa. As we turn off the highway we see “Welcome to Riverside, IA” and immediately husbeast is exclaiming …

“We’re going to the future birthplace of CAPTAIN KIRK!” We’re huge Star Trek fans in this house - and we met the friend traveling with us thru a Star Trek podcast group many years ago. She’s been to Trekfest in Riverside before, and highly recommends attending. It’s a sweet gathering of wonderful Star treky people … and the few locals we spoke to in Riverside were very friendly!

Fabulous trip. on final count, we crossed the Mississippi 4 times, and I asked which River it was only 3 times. Go me.

It wasn’t just about the destination, but the journey along the way.

You, Me, and the Dog Make Three

Author: nickelkeep (@nickelkeep​) Artist: Hexentaenzerin (@hexentaenzerin​) No Major Archive Warnings Tags:  AU - Modern Setting, Friends to Lovers to Friends to Lovers, Dean and Cas need to use their words MORE, Dean and Cas raise a dog together, Past Cas/Inias, Brief Cas/Inias, Angst with a happy ending, Comfortably Queer Castiel, Comfortably Bi Dean, Team Everyone Switches forever

Summary: Cas thinks he has it all. He has a great job, he's got some of the best friends a guy can ask for, and the most loving, devoted boyfriend one can ask for.

Until it all comes crashing down.

When Inias dumps Cas to take a job across the country, it'll take a Miracle to bring the pieces back together. A miracle in the form of a four-legged fluff ball, brought to Cas by no other than his best friend Dean. Can Dean and Miracle help Cas heal? Or will something come between them and cause everything to fall apart?

Preview: “Impatient much?” Cas called back as he unlocked the door. “And loud? My neighbors are going to kill you.” He opened the door, finding the spot where Dean should be standing strangely empty. Cas looked down, and his eyes widened as he saw Dean crouching next to something small and fluffy. “Dean? What are you doing? What’s that?”

Dean looked up and smiled before letting go of the mysterious item. “Surprise?”

“Wha—” Cas gasped as a small, tan puppy with curly fur ran to him and started jumping on him, resting its paws on his leg and yapping happily at him. “Dean? What’s this?”

“This is your new best friend, Cas.” Dean stood up, groaning as his knees popped.

“That eager to replace yourself?” Cas laughed as he choked back a sob. “I mean… I don’t understand.”

“Dude. You’ve always wanted a dog. Inias wouldn’t let you have one. That asshole’s gone, and you mentioned last night that you didn’t want to be alone.” Dean rubbed the back of his neck as he smiled. “I figured, two birds, one stone.” He pointed into the apartment. “Can I come in? I got some stuff for you and your new girl.”

Cas stared a moment longer before nodding. “You didn’t have to do this, Dean.”

“Sure I did. You remember my parent’s neighbor, Missouri? Her dog had puppies, and they needed a good home. Everything lined up perfectly.” Dean bent down and grabbed a bag before walking inside. “I made sure to get you some food and some toys for her. She’s already housebroken, but I got you some pads, too, just in case. She is still a puppy, after all.”

“Dean…” Cas walked over to the sofa and sat down. His smile grew broader as his puppy followed and tried to jump on him again. He leaned down and picked her up, placing her in his lap as he scratched behind her ears. “I don’t know what to say.”

“Well, I mean, you can say ‘thank you,’ but it’s not really needed.” He reached into the bag, pulled out a small stuffed toy, and squeaked it, causing the puppy to bark excitedly. “She really liked this one in the store.”

“You keep saying ‘she.’ Didn’t you name her?”

Dean shook his head. “No. She’s your dog, Cas. I may have picked her, but she’s all yours.”

“It’s a miracle how everything just fell in place.” Cas felt the proverbial light bulb go off over his head. He scratched behind the pup's ears again and spoke to her. “Hey there, Miracle.”

“Interesting choice of name there.” Dean handed the toy to Cas, a smile on his face. “I’m glad I wasn’t entirely presumptuous when I got her. It was kind of a last-minute decision.”

“You got me a Miracle when I needed one, Dean. That says a lot about you.” Cas squeaked the toy, causing Miracle to yap and pounce at it. “While she doesn’t heal everything, she’s a very welcome balm.”

Dogs are our best friends in sickness and in health!

Learn just how dogs can contribute to our physical and emotional well-being.

Dogs, often hailed as humans’ best friends, have been the topic of many scientific studies looking into how they might boost our well-being. In this Spotlight, we’ll explain how your friendly pup can benefit your health across the board.

According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), an estimated 78 million dogs are owned as pets in the United States. It is unclear when dogs were first domesticated, but a study Trusted Source published last year claims that, at least in Europe, dogs were tamed 20,000–40,000 years ago. It is likely that humans and dogs have shared a special bond of friendship and mutual support ever since at least the Neolithic period — but why has this bond been so long-lasting?

Of course, these cousins of the wolves have historically been great at keeping us and our dwellings safe, guarding our houses, our cattle, and our various material goods. Throughout history, humans have also trained dogs to assist them with hunting, or they have bred numerous quirky-looking species for their cuteness or elegance.

However, dogs are also — and might have always been — truly valued companions, famed for their loyalty and seemingly constant willingness to put a smile on their owners’ faces.

In this Spotlight, we outline the research that shows how our dogs make us happier, more resilient when facing stress, and physically healthier, to name but a few ways in which these much-loved quadrupeds support our well-being.

How dogs keep you in good health.

Many studies have suggested that having dogs as pets is associated with better physical health, as reviews Trusted Source of the existing literature show. These findings persist. Just last year, Medical News Today reported on a study that showed that owning a dog reduces a person’s risk of premature death by up to a third. Also, researchers at the University of Harvard in Cambridge, MA, suggest that dog owners have a lower risk of heart disease. Why is that? It is difficult to establish a causal relationship between owning a dog and enjoying better health.

However, the benefits may appear thanks to a series of factors related to lifestyle adjustments that people tend to make after they decide to adopt a canine friend.

The most prominent such lifestyle factor is physical activity. There is no way around it: if you own a dog, you have to commit to twice daily walks — and sometimes even more.

According to a paper Trusted Source published in The Journal of Physical Activity and Health, dog owners are more likely to walk for leisure purposes than both non-pet owners and people who own pet cats.

The results were based on studying a cohort of 41,514 participants from California, some of whom owned dogs, some of whom owned cats, and some of whom did not have any pet

Moreover, several recent studies — including one from the University of Missouri in Columbia and another from Glasgow Caledonian University in the United Kingdom — found that adults aged 60 and over enjoy better health thanks to the “enforced” exercise they get by walking their dogs.

Dogs can strengthen our health not just as we grow older, but also much, much earlier than that: before we are even born. Research published last year suggests that children who were exposed to dogs while still in the womb — as their mothers spent time around dogs during pregnancy — had a lower risk of developing eczema in early childhood.

Also, children exposed to certain bacteria carried by dogs also experienced a reduction of asthma symptoms, the researchers noted.

‘Dogs make people feel good’

Perhaps the most intuitive benefit of sharing your life and home with a canine friend is that dogs give you “feel-good vibes” almost instantly.

Dogs are often used as therapy animals because they have a calming effect on people.

It is really difficult not to cheer up, even after a hard day’s work, when you are greeted with — often vocal — enthusiasm by a friendly dog.

This, researchers explain, is due to the effect of the “love hormone” oxytocin.

“During the last decades,” write the authors of a review that featured in Frontiers in Psychology, “animal assistance in therapy, education, and care has greatly increased.”

When we interact with dogs, our oxytocin levels shoot up. Since this is the hormone largely responsible for social bonding, this hormonal “love injection” boosts our psychological well-being.

Previous studies analyzed in the review have revealed that dog owners have more positive social interactions, and that the presence of canine friends makes people more trusting…and also more deserving of trust. Moreover, dogs appear to reduce symptoms of depression and render people more resilient to stress. That is why dogs are often used as therapy animals.

As researcher Brian Hare, of Duke University in Durham, NC, noted in an interview for The Washington Post:

“Dogs make people feel good, and their only job is to help people in stressful situations feel better.”

Researchers hypothesize that therapy dogs can improve the psychological well-being of children going through cancer therapy, as well as help individuals diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) deal with disruptive symptom Trusted Source or even prevent the onset of PTSD episodes.

What clinical research in dogs can teach us. Our canine companions could also give us clues and open new avenues of research when it comes to clinical research concerning our own health problems.

Dogs share many diseases with humans; by learning more about them, we can also learn more about ourselves. A study that MNT covered earlier this year reveals that dogs share certain metabolic conditions — such as obesity — with their human owners.

Thus, learning more about dogs’ gut microbiota and how they are affected by diet could help us understand how best to tackle our own eating habits.

Like humans, dogs can also develop some forms of cancer. Much like us, dogs can get brain tumors to similarly destructive effect, so learning which genes predispose our canine companions to gliomas may also be translated into cancer research for human patients.

Moreover, a contagious form of canine cancer could shed light into how forms of cancer found in humans have come to develop. Dogs can also experience certain features characteristic of dementia, such as impaired problem-solving abilities.

Dr. Rosalind Arden, of the London School of Economics and Political Science in the U.K., “are one of the few animals that reproduce many of the key features of dementia.”

Researchers explain that by understanding how cognitive tasks are affected in these quadrupeds, we may become better equipped to solve the riddle of dementia in the case of humans, too “Dogs,” notes

“[S]o,” she goes on to add, “understanding their cognitive abilities could be valuable in helping us to understand the causes of this disorder in humans and possibly test treatments for it.”

Dogs are not just incredibly loveable and often very funny friends whose antics fuel the Internet’s store of memes continuously; their company also keeps us in good physical shape. Also, their health problems — sadly but endearingly — often mirror our own.

Most of all, however, we welcome them into our lives — and have done so since time immemorial — because they instantly bring us the sort of joy and calm that we would otherwise have to work hard to obtain.

Author Dean Koontz summarized this perfectly in his memoir of his own much-loved dog:

“One of the greatest gifts we receive from dogs is the tenderness they evoke in us."

By their delight in being with us, the reliable sunniness of their disposition, the joy they bring to playtime, the curiosity with which they embrace each new experience, dogs can melt cynicism, and sweeten the bitter heart..

Hey y’all, your local desperate enby here, really don’t want to be asking this but I’m down to the wire with my car insurance (it will be canceled the 19th). My insurance is attached to my license, which I need for my income. I cannot not pay this. I already got approved for a second credit card with a tiny line (were talking 200 after I paid the fee), but this is a rinkydink little credit card company that can’t be bothered to give me digital access for the card while I wait for the physical card (Stone Age much???). This is just my IMMEDIATE need, I don’t have my minimum met for Lyft yet this week, so nothing I make is going towards this yet, and I’m doubtful I’ll manage to pull $162 worth of dog walks while actively trying to pull drives. If you use stripe, I will have to wait for it to process. PP will be an immediate payment. Both take a percentage. I can dm you my pp/v.enmo if you don’t want a percentage being taken by ko-fi.

Provided I can get this paid, I’m still going to need to pay 220 to storage next week, and get on top of my truck being fixed. I’m working crazy hours and have been walking 6-9 miles a day dog walking when I’m not driving. If I can’t get my truck fixed, I need at least enough to pay for a week’s rate in a motel so I can start that in march if it comes down to it.

If you want a sketch in exchange for a donation, I’m happy to do one. Examples of my most recent work above. If you need help with dog training since I’ve done that professionally for the last decade, I can do that via video chat. I’m not trying to ask for help for nothing but this is crucial I remain able to drive, and keep my dogs housed one way or another while I get us sorted to move to Missouri. Thank you for boosting if you can’t help, I know money is tight for everyone right now.

In Texas border town, locals say military forces, not migrants, are invading

EAGLE PASS, Texas—The border between Eagle Pass, Texas, and Piedras Negras in the Mexican state of Coahuila used to be open, like the one between Derby Line, Vermont and Stanstead, Quebec.  “We used to just go back and forth all the time,” recalls Amerika Garcia Grewal, who grew up in the small city by the Rio Grande. “The same way we drove downtown to get tacos, years ago, we might have driven into Piedras to get tacos and come back.” Now the border is fortified.  First, there’s the infamous wall, built over several administrations to keep out migrants.  In Eagle Pass, it’s an expanse of fencing with closely spaced vertical metal bars, stretching for miles near the Rio Grande.  But in recent years, the wall has been supplemented with lines of shipping containers and concertina wire along the riverbank.  Armed soldiers are stationed on top of the containers. Fan boats operated by several state and federal agencies speed up and down the river, perhaps looking for or perhaps trying to scare migrants who might wade across the river to ask for asylum in the land of the free.   Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the division of the Department of Homeland Security generally just called the Border Patrol, has responsibility under federal law for enforcing laws controlling travel into the United States.  But in 2021, the state of Texas launched Operation Lone Star, dramatically escalating its own involvement in border enforcement.  Under Lone Star, thousands of Texas National Guard members and state police have been stationed at the border.  Texas’ Republican governor, Greg Abbott, Lone Star’s initiator and chief publicist, has labeled the influx of migrants an “invasion.”   

[...]

“If there’s an invasion, it’s from the military,” says Jessie Fuentes, a retired communications professor who runs a canoe and kayak rental business. “There’s more military in our community than there are migrants, thousands and thousands of military from 13 different states.” “How would you feel if all of a sudden, your community was locked up with soldiers and you couldn’t go into your favorite park? Because it has concertina wire around it or shipping containers or armed guards or you can’t access your own river and your green space?” asked Fuentes, a member of the Eagle Pass Border Coalition, a grassroots organization.  “So yeah, the only invasion we got here is from the military and the Texas governor.”

[...]

The local immigrant detention prison is owned by the GEO Group, which according to a February 20 Newsweek article “reported one of its most profitable years amid the growing demand for immigration detention facilities.”  GEO operates 11 facilities in Texas. The $11B doesn’t count the money being spent by other states to send troops to Texas.  Missouri has just approved $2.2 million for a deployment.  Louisiana is sending its third rotation of soldiers. There’s “a lot of money being spent,” said Steve Fischer, who I met while he was walking his dog near the gated and guarded entrance to Shelby Park. 

[...]

Amerika Garcia Grewal, who like Fuentes is part of the Eagle Pass Border Coalition, believes high levels of migration are being stimulated by Republican rhetoric.  When conservatives attack President Biden for “open borders,” she said, their statements get picked up and circulated on social media by criminal groups that make money off transporting migrants to the border (and extorting them along the way, as well).  “They think they’re talking tough,” she said, but instead they are giving migrants hope that they can make it to the United States and be safer than they were at home. Along the route, migrants are frequently subject to rape, other assaults, kidnapping, and extortion as they make their way north through Mexico to the U.S. border.  But still they come, in the hopes of gaining asylum in the United States.  If they do make it to Eagle Pass, they might find a community where compassion outweighs fear.

Home : Teaser

I'm probably going to post this chapter within this coming week, I am happy to report that I have finished another chapter and editing is in progress! 😁 But here is a little teaser, for the new chapter releasing soon, Home! 🔥👻

She walked back to her reading room and the brothers all shared a confused look before standing and following her. She was standing with her hands on her hips, “Well, lemme look at ya,” she laughed, “Oh, you boys grew up handsome.” she pointed at Dean, “And you were one goofy-lookin’ kid too!”

Stiles snorted loudly and Missouri smiled at him, “Good to see they found you, Stiles,” she said, “They treatin’ you right?”

“Yes ma’am,” said Stiles with a happy smile.

“Sam,” Missouri said and she grabbed Sam’s hand, “Oh, honey…I’m sorry about your girlfriend.” the boys looked at her, shocked, “And your father – he’s missin’?”

“How’d you know all that?” Sam asked.

“Well, you were just thinkin’ it just now.” She explained, Sam raised his eyebrow in surprise.

“Well, where is he? Is he okay?” asked Dean..

Missouri sighed, “I don’t know,” she admitted.

“Don’t know? Well, you’re supposed to be a psychic, right?”

She raised her eyebrows at him, “Boy, you see me sawin’ some bony tramp in half? You think I’m a magician? I may be able to read thoughts and sense energies in a room, but I can’t just pull facts out of thin air,” Sam and Stiles grinned at each other, “Sit, please.” she finished.

She sat down in a chair across from a three seater couch, where the brothers all sat comfortably. Missouri eyed Dean, “Boy, you put your foot on my coffee table, I’m ‘a whack you with a spoon!”

“I didn’t do anything,” Dean defended.

“Well you were thinking about it.”

Stiles looked at Dean, “Put your foot on the table,” he suggested and Dean frowned at him, “Please, for me.”

Dean just rolled his eyes and Sam laughed, then he looked at Missouri and sighed, “Okay. So, our dad – when did you first meet him?”

“He came for a reading. A few days after the fire. I just told him what was really out there in the dark. I guess you could say…I drew back the curtains for him.”

“What about the fire? Do you know about what killed our mom?” asked Dean, leaning forward.

“A little. Your daddy took me to your house. He was hopin’ I could sense the echoes, the fingerprints of this thing.”

Sam looked at her with puppy dog eyes, “And could you?”

“I…” she shook her head, not wanting to say it.

“What was it?”

“I don’t know,” she said softly, “Oh, but it was evil.”

“But,” Stiles said, and she looked at him, “There is something evil in that house right now,” he explained.

“What do you mean?” she asked gently.

“I don’t know how to explain it,” he said, “But we went to go see it this afternoon and,” he hesitated, “It’s just a feeling.”

November

*11/17 is the 317 day of the year. 3/17 is the day the ET started.

11/2/1721 Peter I was proclaimed Emperor of all the Russias *she has a song “Peter”

11/4/1842 Abraham Lincoln married Mary Todd in Soringfield, Illinois (I wonder if their wedding cake was made from dogs and cats?)

11/13/1887: Bloody Sunday

11/14/1888 St. Andrews Golf Club in Yonkers, NY opens with just 6 holes.

11/4/1890 the first electrified underground railway system is opened in London

11/12/1908 GM acquired Olds Motor Works

November 1911: William C.Durant and Swiss race car driver Louis Chevrolet founded the Chevrolet Motor Company GM then acquired it in 1918.

11/25/1915 KKK Rebirth & Revival at Stone Mountain

11/4/1916: Walter Cronkite born in St. Jospeh, Missouri. He was widely regarded as America’s most trusted journalist. He passed away in 2009.

*Eminem was also born in St Joesph Missouri, born 10/17/1972. On 8/18/2007 TS performed in St Joseph Missouri at Trails West! No set list to be found, but she did perform with Craig Morgan. -> “I forgot how the West was won.” -> Craig Morgan born 7/17/1964 is a veteran of the US Army as a forward observer and a current member of the Army Reserve. His 1st single from his 3rd album “That’s What I Love About Sunday” was released on 11/1/2004-> “pick up the Sunday Times, grab my coffee cup”. First thing on that lyric is that the New York Times have been publishing Sunday editions since 4/21/1861 but didn’t print a Sunday Edition for the 1st 10 years of its publication. The first issue if the newspaper, published on 9/18/1851 stated that the paper was published every morning, except on Sundays. I’m picturing Vernon Dursley looking all crazy being happy about “No post on Sundays” second thing to add to this is that in 1896 Adolph Ochs bought the paper and added a Sunday Magazine section to the paper. The first issue of the magazine was published on 9/6/1896 (69 is the zodiac sign for Cancer btw) it featured the first photographs ever printed in the newspaper. Ochs also banned fiction, comic strips, and gossip columns from the paper. -> and on 11/8/2024 TS was caught on a pap walk in NYC wearing a dress that I was calling a ‘Statement Piece” until I learned the name of the dress itself is “Sunday Striped Cotton Dress” -> which can roll off her history with Craig Morgan but it is also coincidental that there are “You’ve been selected to pick cotton on 11/15/24 you’ll be picked up in a brown van” text messages being brought to the internets attention… we are the media now, no one ever said we were telling true stories. The past participle of sew is sewn: to join, fasten, repair. She’s running with her dress unbottoned because the repair takes time. Also this Sunday 2 days after the cotton dress, is Reputations 7th birthday. (6th album 7th birthday = 13) red is 3 letters lover is 5 letters that = 8. 6th album R=18 7th album L=12. Added all together you would get 12, we are waiting on TS 12 but 12 can be broken down to 3 and thats speak now which has 9 gowns for 1 song. So 9+3 also = 12. Speak Now is 2 words Evermore is 2 words in 1. 122 is the emergency number in Egypt. SNE=19145=20=2. Speak Now and Evermore are both 8 letters in total, 8+8=16=7. And Reputation is turning 7. ****And the 7th letter is 2 which to me means Fearless, since thats her 2nd album. She has to be fearless to speak her truth, right? And isn’t the point of her defending her reputation and name is for her to finally be able to have the strength and courage to speak now. Could TS 12 be a compilation album of sorts?

11/13/1941 David Green, the founder of Hobby Lobby

11/12/1954: Ellis Island off the Coast of New York ceases operations

11/22/1977: The Denver Masonic Temple Building (5 minutes from Coors Field) a Richardsonian Romanesque style building from 1889. It was added to the NRHP on this date.

11/4/1979: about 500 young Iranian militants stormed the U.S Embassy in Teheran, Iran and took 90 hostages, including 52 Americans that they held captive for 444 days.

11/21/1980: High Indidelity REO Speedwagon released. It is their 9th studio album. *High Infidelity is only on Midnights 3AM (10th album according to some swifities, 12th album according to Forbes) (track 17) and Midnights Til The Dawn Editions.

In addition to the traditional Detroit and Dallas home afternoon games, a third game is now played in prime time and televised by NFL Network (2006-2011) or NBC (since 2012) the prime time game is hosted by a different team (other than the Lions and Cowboys) each season. *So its like Rubies was on holidays how only certain stores were picked to be open on holidays they just decided that Detroit (since 1934) and Dallas (since 1966) would be the thanksgiving game every year. There were apparently two execeptions to this in 1975 and 1977 I’m sorry that is stupid AF, they would probably rather play a backyard game with their families, but no you make more on holiday coverage greedy assholes. Like I said I’m joining a fantasy league next year because this information is so dumb that it’s fascinating. Funny from what I’m seeing the home team wasn’t even the winner..

[thebookofnehemiah]

"The Roy." From the Book of Nehemiah, "the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Lions that Lay," 2: 7-10.

Nehemiah, a future Prince in the Kingdom of Israel asks the King of Persia if he can rebuild the city of Jerusalem and warehouse the people. It appears the Book itself is a handbook for what are called the Vapors, or the Nsh of the Royal Family of Israel. Nsh can come from all around the planet. They can be black, white, Arab, Cherokee, even from Missouri! Any young person that wants to contribute to an outstanding experience of government can qualify to be a NSH.

The king takes the request seriously and provides Nehemiah with all that he needs. The task of the Nsh in modern times is to develop a curriculum from the following passages and learn how they are applied to the science of government from within this very unique and special kind of public official.

The first degree involves crossing the Trans-Euphrates "to break the trance and go with the wisdom tradition." The goal of crossing the Trans Euphrates is to appeal to the territorial governors which are the are the faculties including the five senses, the digits, the butt wiener, the feet, etc.

Even at an early age, one must be able to discipline the appetites. This is the very first thing God tells Adam and Evil in the Garden and it is being restated here. Why would we read about this again instead of just going back to Bereshit? While it is cute and cuddly and good for an entertaining laugh to see people in leather and spandex dressed like dogs and cats walking the street smacking the crap out of each other, the people will not enjoy it if the Nsh is seen doing it.

The Nsh like the Roy the King must be able to demonstrate fidelity to the Central Furnace, home and hearth and this means stanky panky on the streets or in other public places is not allowed.

The King of Persia takes the mission of a new Kingdom of Israel so seriously, he gives the future Nsh the Letters and also an army, and sends him off. We would not expect the Nsh to make a break for it and head to the public pissing place or jump into the woods on the way, that would spoil the spell:

7 I also said to him, “If it pleases the king, may I have letters to the governors of Trans-Euphrates, so that they will provide me safe-conduct until I arrive in Judah?

8 And may I have a letter to Asaph, keeper of the royal park, so he will give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel by the temple and for the city wall and for the residence I will occupy?” And because the gracious hand of my God was on me, the king granted my requests.

9 So I went to the governors of Trans-Euphrates and gave them the king’s letters. The king had also sent army officers and cavalry with me.

10 When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official heard about this, they were very much disturbed that someone had come to promote the welfare of the Israelites.

A Horon is the Pillar of the Knowledge of Hor, meaning one has achieved a high degree of illumination in the lifestyle suggested by the Torah and the Tanakh. As I state above there can be nothing between the eyes in between the eyes and the nose and mouth that indicates the Nsh cannot handle the call of duty. The term Sanballat the Horonite means "what you swallow must be sunlight" and Tobiah the Ammonite "The good faith of the people."

"The root חרר (harar) describes a society's central and enclosed source of heat. It thus may express a geographical depression, but more so a being hot and ultimately a being a ruler (whether by might, political clout or wisdom).

Verb חרר (harar I) means to be hot, burned or charred. Noun חרר (harer) denotes a parched place and noun חרחר (harhur) describes a violent heat or fever. The unused verb חרר (harar II) means to be free in cognate languages, which is the opposite of being a slave.

Noun חר (hor) means noble or nobleman. The unused verb חרר (harar III) appears to refer to the enclosure of kilns and ovens, as the first ones were most likely built in natural hollows. The nouns חר (hor) and חור (hor) mean hole or cavern, but obviously relate to the previous word in that freemen surround themselves with walls and armies.

Verb חרה (hara) means to burn or ignite (in the Bible solely in an emotional way: to get angry). Noun חרון (haron) describes the burning of anger. Noun חרי (hori) refers to a general burning.

Verb חור (hawar) means to be or grow white (like ash or baked bricks). Nouns חור (hur) and חורי (huray) refer to any white stuff, including garments and linen, and noun חרי (hori) describes white bread or cake.

Verb נחר (nahar) looks very much like a passive or reflexive version of חרר (harar) or its participle. This verb isn't used in the Bible but nouns נחר (nahar) and נחרה (naharah) describe the vigorous snorting of a horse, and noun נחיר (nahir) means nostril (which in turn reminds of a cavern)."

This does not mean one cannot be a big stud behind closed doors in a manner of one's choosing. Outdoors, however, one must be the essence of propriety.

The Values in Gematria are:

v. 7: I also said to him, provide me with safe conduct. These are the rules of Kosher which dictate safe social interactions. They are too extensive to detail here but a Nsh must know the corrected versions of the Kashrut. The Number is 10251, יב‎הא‎, Yahweh, "the highest definition of behavior that prevents calamity."

"The verb היה (haya), or its older version הוה (hawa), means to be busy acting out the behavior that defines that which acts. This verb never describes static existence (the dog is outside) but always the performance of a specific behavior that defines whichever is behaving in such a way (the dog is outside barking, sniffing, chasing squirrels, digging up bones and running off the mailman)."

If everyone who is important on the planet for example, attends a leather and lace costume party and fashion magazines are filming and photographing, the Nsh can attend. The second the illusion is broken, and orifices are exposed then the Nsh has to leave. This is what is meant by arriving and also leaving in Judah, in glory.

v. 8: A letter to Asaph the keeper of the royal park.

Asaph means to gather and also discard:

"The verb אסף ('asap), means to gather or collect, mostly in reference to harvests, and with a connotation of removal. The nouns אסף ('osep), אסיף ('asip), אסף ('asop), אספה ('asepa), אספה ('assupa) and אספסף ('asapsup) all express nuances of the act of gathering, things gathered, collections or storages. Also note the similarities in form with the ספף  סוף  ספה (spp swp sph) cluster of words, which all have to do with the extraction of one continuum from another."

Parks are wild gardens that are manicured by man. They include around and down below the belly button and on the top of the head, and especially in other places of importance to the public. No one sees or cares who manicures other public spaces but the second it is not done we go looking for the persons who are responsible for it.

Public displays of wickedness are a sign the Royal Park under the crown of the head is not being manicured, and His Lordship under the navel is in charge and this makes the public very nervous. The public cannot be nervous in the presence of the Nsh.

The Letters to Asaph state therefore one cannot be or partake of company of the sort that cannot be seen or will not be lauded by the public.

The Number is 10718, קזאח‎ ‎, kazakh, "remove what is not Asher, is thine own self."

The verb קצץ (qasas) means to remove by cutting off, and is used mostly to describe the severing of body parts (Deuteronomy 25:12, Judges 1:6-7, 2 Samuel 4:12), and the cutting to pieces of items of metal for transport (2 Kings 24:13, 18:16).

This root's derivatives are:

The masculine noun קץ (qes), meaning end. This noun is mostly used to indicate the end of a certain period and that usually in a context of judgment, or the end of time itself (Genesis 8:6, Amos 8:2, Daniel 9:26). On rare occasions it denotes the end of something in a spatial sense (2 Kings 19:23, Ecclesiastes 4:16).

The adjective קיצון (qison), meaning outermost or at the end. This adjective is only used to describe the end of the tabernacle's curtains (Exodus 26:4, 36:11).

The inseparable prefix כ (ke) expresses a comparison to the noun it is attached to. Most literally it means something like "in the manner of" and mostly ends up being translated as "like" as in: X, like-Y. But often "like" doesn't cut it, and translations speak of: about, according to, and even when or while. This prefix occurs very often in the Bible, but perhaps most prominently in the name Michael, or mi-ke-el; "who [is] like God?". Our particle is part of the following substantives:

The substantive כמו (kemo) is כ (ke) plus the particle of inquisition מו (mo) and literally means something like "in the manner of the essence of..". It's used in the same way as כ (ke), but mostly in the poetic texts of the Bible and is possibly a bit more deft and theatrical.

In combination with the relative particle אשר (asher), which generally means who or which, our particle כ (ke) forms the conjunction כאשר (ka'asher), which would mean something like "according to that which.."."

In spite of the tight reins I suggest, the Nsh is supposed to be realized of the Self, called Shoftim in Hebrew. He must be like God, ehyeh, "just as he is."

The etymology goes so far as to state the Nsh must be able to see Oz, the reality behind the curtain. This is in fact the defining characteristic of the prince, and explains the origin of the term Nsh:

"The root ענז ('nz) isn't used in the Bible but it occurs all over the Semitic language spectrum with meanings relating to wayward motions or a turning aside (perhaps even to be strong-headed?). Its sole derived Biblical noun occurs in other languages as well, all with meanings similar to the Biblical one: the feminine noun עז ('ez), meaning she-goat.

She-goats could be utilized as unit of wealth (Genesis 30:32), were used for food (Genesis 27:9), or for sacrifices (Leviticus 22:27). The hair of the she-goat could be used to fabricate items such as blankets (1 Samuel 19:16), and the sight of his lover's flowing hair reminded king Solomon of a flock of she-goats descending from Mount Gilead (Song of Solomon 4:1). Note that cattle were units of wealth and wealth yields strength in a social sense."

v. 9: So I crossed the Euphrates with army officers and cavalry. Armies and cavalry are 2010, לי‎, "you and me for myself."

The Euphrates is one of the four rivers in Eden, which we leave before we enter Egypt. After Egypt we cross the Zin, then there are the Nephi to deal with and so forth. The number of crossings one must make in life before one attains to Shabbat and Ha Shem, etc. are numerous, none of them are exaggerated by the Torah or Tanakh. Here, however we are discussing how one who wants to be Nsh should approach the first few steps and make them more predictive of success later on.

Loyalty within the Royal House is the key. One who can be devoted and dedicated the soonest will be the most successful at engendering the trust of the public and for all the right reasons. The hearth is the most important aspect of the Nsh and the Roy. This cannot be overemphasized:

v. 10: They were very much disturbed that someone had come to promote the welfare of the Israelites. Once the Nsh achieves the Roy, the public has to take notice. If the person is Jewish and powerful and makes fools of the rest and forces a few issues, this is even better, this is what we want.

The Number is 9275, טבזה‎ ‎, taveza, "what does the note say?"

It is very good when the Gematria foots within itself and the context of the frame one is studying. The Note here is the Roy, ראוי, "how to be appropriate, worthy, deserving and proper."

"The verb ראה (ra'a) primarily means to see or look at or notice (Genesis 6:2, Isaiah 6:5), and, much as in English, came to also mean to understand (Jeremiah 5:12). The imperfect form of this verb (or at least the third person singular) is spelled the same as the verb ירא (yara' II), meaning to regard intently.

The many references to the Lord or an angel 'appearing' uses this same verb, namely in the sense of 'becoming visible' or perhaps rather 'becoming perceivable/understandable' (Exodus 3:2, Genesis 12:7).

Our verb's derivatives are:

The adjective ראה (ra'eh), meaning seeing (Job 10:15 only).

The masculine noun ראה (ro'eh), meaning seer (1 Samuel 9:9, Isaiah 30:10).

The identical masculine noun ראה (ro'eh), meaning prophetic vision (Isaiah 28:7 only).

The feminine noun ראית (re'ut) or ראות (re'ut), meaning a looking (Ecclesiastes 5:10).

The masculine noun ראי (re'i), meaning mirror (Job 37:18 only).

The masculine noun ראי (ro'i), meaning sight or appearance (Genesis 16:13, Job 7:8).

The feminine noun מראה (mar'a), meaning vision as means of revelation (Genesis 46:2, Numbers 12:6).

The identical feminine noun מראה (mar'a), meaning mirror (Exodus 38:8 only).

The masculine noun מראה (mar'eh), meaning sight or appearance (Exodus 3:3, Isaiah 11:3, Ezekiel 8:4)."

The Nsh, according to the Zohar is a photographic vision of loveliness that comes into focus as the Torah of the Shule is undertaken. For the House of Israel, the development of the image is of the utmost importance to the future of the human race.

I have said above the Nsh cannot be seen in ways that might cause one to misconstrue how well he or she is doing at home. Home is where Shabbos and Shabbat are observed, they will not occur without happiness in the home. So while the above emphasizes appearances, as with all things pertinent to the Shule, there can be no distinction between what appears to be real and reality itself.

No one laments an eleborate encounter with love apple of one's eye. No matter how vanilla or otherwise one's expressions of the exogenous takes place, however you do it, the fewer words or witnesses the better. This is the secret.
