Cadillac Ranch - Mischief Movie Night In (featuring Josh Elliott's dance moves)

for @inked-out-trees - happy birthday!!

[peacockpenis]

endless mischief movie night in – "who bun it?"

bonus:

[an-honest-puck]

a collection of highlights and viewing notes from 'Ipswitch It Up' because I don't have the time to liveblog while watching but I do have thoughts

not Nancy Emmy gleefully declaring that Ipswitch It Up would be a musical and knowing full well that the cast were not musical-officianados

the biggest hightlight was watching Shields go down in flames LMAO

jokes, the real highlight was 'Physically' and Sue Harrison's sweet rap skills!!!!!

I mean, those run-on rhymes?? we love to see it!!!!!!!

also, Sue just straight up naming all the lads as women was such a power move lol

(yo listen Sue carried Ipswitch It Up and that's the hill I'll die on lmao)

oh and Niall having the funniest rhyming night lolol

the iconic: "the time is now, you're here by a bridge / here in the town of Ip-puh-suh-witch" - Niall

plus: "look at each other, feel the feels / here we are just two young pe(o)-peels" - Niall

probs why Dave decided he'd roast the hell out of Niall in this one LOL (it's ok tho because Dave's other character becomes the sidekick of Niall's character Simon so he's not lonely!!! :') lowkey v wholesome tbh lol)

"I'm sorry Simon, it's not a banger, it's just another clanger- you've really dropped the ball" - Dave, while giggling

with all due respect Josh Elliot wtf is your voice because it is so fckn good?!

the man knows how to create a damn good overlapping melody!!!!!! wtf!!!!!! I was so impressed!!!!!!!

Dave absolutely leading the charge as the Dance Captain of Mischief lolol

Mike and Harry just trying their best to stay out of it LMAO

except for the one song Harry features in, where he just tells another character to shut up XD

oh and that brief dance break that Harry started in 'Physically' which ended up being a showcase for Shields' random party trick of being able to do the worm?????? who even is this willowy man????????

speaking of Shields, we do have to acknowledge the absolute clanger of a night that man had PFFF LOL

so much regret visible on his face lmaooooo (thank you and mad props to the camera team for showing it XD)

I mean, there isn't much more to say except reference the 'smoke a pipe' rhyme - if you know you know (and you probably know XD)

and of course: "Are they upset? Are they upset?! You know what I'm upset about?!? I'VE RUN OUT OF COCAINE!!!!" - Shields

but fr, despite the chaos of this one, it actually has one of the sadder endings of a Mischief Movie Night In, so we absolutely gotta applaud Sue and Josh for carrying the emotion in this one

(and also again, just give mad props to Sue for riding the wave of chaos that comes with trying to wrangle all those lads LOL /affectionate)

YOU GAFFA TAPED JOSH ELLIOTT TO THE WALL

Personal Device Bans in Schools and the Consequences

Joshua Elliott, EdD

Associate Dean

Director of Educational Technology

Assistant Professor of the Practice

I remember the introduction of calculators in the classroom. Well, I thought I remembered it. I looked it up and apparently the use of calculators started in the mid 70’s, before I would have been at the grade level when calculators were used. The arguments used for keeping calculators recycle over time as other new technologies are introduced, such as computers, the internet, smart phones, and artificial intelligence. The last two of these, smartphones and artificial intelligence, are currently two of the biggest issues in educational technology. 

Smartphones (and other personal devices) are a bit unique because they represent a concern that has resurfaced. When introduced, smartphones were largely seen as a distraction, but this started to change with Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies. Educators started to harness student devices as a resource. Students were allowed to use their devices in class as part of their learning—for research, access to educational apps or websites, and product creation like videos, to name a few. When used correctly, students could learn how to use their personal devices responsibly and as a productive tool. 

BYOD also allowed for device access in school districts where there was not enough money for one-to-one device programs. When the world went into lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic, supplemental funds were allocated to provide devices and wifi access for as many students as possible, so learning could continue even with everyone stuck in their homes. The pendulum is swinging the other way now that we are back in the physical classroom. 

Some legislators are arguing that personal devices only serve as a distraction, and that most students have school-provided devices anyway, however, there are considerations with this thought process. The first, is that school-provided devices like laptops and Chromebooks require funding for upkeep and replacement over time. These devices were purchased using emergency funds and money for upkeep is not always guaranteed. Many school districts with limited funds are likely to face challenges as their devices eventually become outdated or break, if they haven't already encountered these issues. This brings us back to a digital device divide issue, where some districts have devices for students and some do not. Legislation mandating all-encompassing device policies for school districts could exacerbate this issue, as each district has its own unique needs.

The other issue is that we may be able to eliminate device access during the school day, but we will never be able to eliminate device access permanently (nor should we). It is important for children to learn how to responsibly use technology, and this can be effectively taught during the school day. As educators, it is not our job to just teach content knowledge and academics. It is also our responsibility to teach students about character and digital citizenship. By prohibiting devices in the classroom, we are missing opportunities to teach our students important skills like responsible use or how to use a device productively rather than only as a consumer. Responsible use skills also include knowing when it is time to take a break and put the device away.

Are you interested in the latest trends in educational technology, or how educators are successfully using technology in the classroom? Fairfield University’s School of Education and Human Development (SEHD) will host an Educational Technology Forum for educators on Friday, Nov. 1, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Dolan School of Business Event Hall. To learn more and to register by Oct. 14, visit: https://events.fairfield.edu/event/educational-technology-forum.

PRESSURE FOR RICHIE. SEASON 3 THE BEAR

One of the saddest things I saw this season was Richie wondering if he should back away from EVA.

I can see why he'd feel insecure

Uncle Frank loves Eva and Tiff

Frank has a beautiful house that he got through his own strength in a great neighborhood

Frank is gorgeous and gentlemanly and seems like a decent person.

Meanwhile Richie thinks his being alone (and not well off)

Might be a hindrance to Eva.

This made me tear up

Of course he shouldn't back away from his child!

The Bear (Season 3)

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

The Bear (Season 3, 2024, USA)

Creator: Christopher Storer

Directors: Christopher Storer, Duccio Fabbri, Ayo Edebiri & Joanna Calo

Mini-review:

I'm honestly surprised by the amount of hate this season has been getting from fans. Was it as good as the previous two? Maybe not, but it's still miles ahead of almost everything else on TV these days. I guess the problem is the first two had specific endpoints in mind (saving The Beef and building The Bear, respectively) and this one doesn't, which is what makes it feel rather adrift. Still, I don't think that's a bad thing, per se. This shift means plot takes a step back to focus almost completely on the inner workings of the restaurant and the characters, which in turn helps us learn so much about all of them. Seriously, how can you say it's a bad season when we get episodes like the one about Tina or the one about Natalie and her mother? And sure, the plot might not advance too much, but we get a true acting masterclass in every episode. So yeah, this season of The Bear might be slower and more contemplative, but in my opinion it's almost as momentous as the first two.

Josh Elliott in Mischief Movie Night In -> for @inked-out-trees, Happy Birthday!

[peacockpenis]

endless mischief movie night in – "flat pack attack"

[an-honest-puck]

a collection of highlights from 'From Russia With Gloves' because I don't have the time to liveblog while watching but I do have thoughts lmao

Lauren Shearing as Madame Gloves bringing the perfect amount of Bond-villain-campness to her role - she was absolutely sensational and didn't put a foot wrong!!!!

Bev, the henchperson who spontaneously broke into song so spontaneously even the musicians couldn't keep up with her XD

Hen and his triple-agenting, coming in hot with "I'm the one that always lies!"

Josh vaguely speaking French and putting on a decent Aussie accent (I mean, I rate it lol)

Shields as a koala. that is all XD

but also any time he just clings to Bryony tbh XD

"they don't know that I have a real human... mind!" - Koala Jeffreys

Shields: That time we... buried... a child!

Bryony, desperately trying to salvage the situation: In the sand! at the beach! yeah, we dug him back up..."

"do you know how hard it is to get a koala bear through customs?!" - Koala Jeffreys

but hey, you can't have a villain as good as Madame Gloves without an equally brilliant hero in Vanessa Cumberbatch

from her tragic backstory, watching her wife-to-be Carlotta die at the hand (ha!) of Madame Gloves who has the moment framed in her lair lmao

I mean, just her entrance into the movie literally commando-rolling into the scene XD

Oscar: I'm not quite sure how she managed to kill all those people by rolling around on the floor

and then her every interaction with Koala Jeffreys - mate, Shields is a pro because if Bryony spent half the movie just patting my head, I'd be done lads (gender neutral)- that's like catnip to me lmao

and to cap it all off, she chucked in a rhyming couplet for her last line, just for kicks

"and together, we got rid of the glove / and now I'm ready for some interspecies love!" - Vanessa Cumberbatch

*cue Shields trying to get Bryony to carry him but Bry not being able to carry him so he ends up with one leg wrapped around her and hopping*

Get Your Freak On

Mike Schmidt x fem reader

Warnings: Smut, porn with (basically) no plot, literally takes place in a strip club so...

18+ only, Minors DNI

Word count: 1,691 words

Wrote this to "Get Ur Freak On" by Missy Elliott, I'll put the Spotify link below this.

It was 11pm, and Micheal Schmidt was in his own personal hell. Most guys would enjoy tonight, but Mike wasn’t most guys. If he had known this bachelor party were at a strip club, he probably wouldn’t have gone. Yeah, Mark was his best friend, but this was a line Mike wouldn’t willingly cross. He hated the idea of being there. He didn’t mind hookups, but full-on strip clubs were not his idea of fun. He sighed as he remembered he actually paid someone to watch Abby. Only to find out he would be spending the entire night here, where it reeked of sex.

All of his friends knew Mike wasn’t into this kind of thing either. No wonder they wouldn’t tell him where they were going until it was too late for him to weasel his way out of being there. So he sat in the corner, trying his best to ignore everyone and everything.

He was doing fine until you walked over to him. He wasn’t interested in you, but you found it strange how a man could be so cross at a place like this. “Hey there big boy, want me to cheer you up?” You asked in a sultry tone. Obviously this guy wasn’t happy to be here, and your boss would kill you if you didn’t try to fix it. It didn’t hurt that he was hot. Not in the typical fuck-boy way; in fact, he almost had a softer look to him. Well, despite the unwavering scowl on his face.

“No, I’m good thanks,” the man grumbled. This clearly wasn’t going to be easy. “Okay, but can you at least try not to look so angry? Between you and me, my boss isn’t exactly happy you’re sitting here in this kind of mood. He says it’s bad for business,” you reasoned with him. But you might as well have been grasping at straws. “Look, if I could leave, I would. It’s my best friend’s bachelor party; he and the rest of our friends tricked me into coming. I don’t want to be here. Nothing personal,” he growled.

“They tricked you into coming? That’s fucked up.”

“Yeah. And I can’t go home cause that would be rude. Plus I already paid the babysitter.”

“You have a kid?”

“No, I take care of my sister. I just hope she doesn’t find out this is where I was, cause she’s fucking ten.”

“Oh, damn. I honestly don’t blame you for being pissed. I’d be mad too.”

“Really?” his scowl evaporated. Finally, someone that understood how fucked up this entire situation was. And actually cared enough to listen to how he felt. “Yeah, I’m sorry they pulled that on you, that’s just a dick move.”

“No kidding.”

A pause.

“I’m Mike.”

“Y/N,” you responded.

Mike smiled. Not a forced smile, but a genuine one. For the first time tonight, he had a reason to. Sure, he hated being here, but at least you weren’t too bad. You were definitely easy on the eyes. Maybe this wasn’t as bad as he thought. He was suddenly aware of the fact that you were barely wearing anything, and a blush covered his face.

Before he noticed what he was doing, Mike’s eyes looked you up and down lecherously. You immediately took notice of how he was gaping at you, and a knot instantly formed in your stomach. Damn, Mike was making you feel all kinds of things you didn’t normally feel when you were working.

Maybe it was those big doe eyes of his that looked up at you, now glazed over with want. Or his strong hands that you just wanted to have touch you all over. But you had a feeling that the real reason you felt this way is because you could tell he saw you as more than an object, but as a human being. Just like him.

“Like what you see Mike?” you teased. Immediately, Mike broke out of his trance and blinked, a bright red blush covering his face. Clearly he was embarassed, but you reassured him, “No, it’s okay, take it all in, hun.” His eyes instantly snapped up to yours, searching for any doubt or discomfort in your expression.

When he failed to find any, his hands slid up your thighs and onto your waist, instantly earning a sigh from you. “That’s it hun, go ahead, take what you want.” You didn’t have to tell him twice. He knew exactly what he wanted, and he knew you’d gladly give it to him. He guided you down onto his lap, and if it wasn’t clear before how much he needed you, it was now. You could feel his cock pressing against his jeans, begging for release. The release you would give to him. You dragged your barely-clothed cunt over his crotch, eliciting a groan from his lips instantly. His hands kneaded at your hips, and you let out a low moan.

“Feel good, Princess?” he growled lustfully. God, this was going to be good. “Mike...” is all you could manage as he continued to grab at you. He was ensnared in your web, but that was okay with him. He wanted, no, needed, you so bad that he didn’t care how desperate he came across.

“Wanna head somewhere more-fuuuck-private?” you asked, your gaze pleading with him to fuck you already as he grasped at your soft skin. He grinned devilishly, and you knew exactly where to take him. You snagged his hand and led him to the back of the club, where you opened the back door. “I know a place, follow me.”

A few minutes later, you had brought him to your apartment. Normally you wouldn’t have taken him here, but something was different about him. You needed somewhere private so he could take you, and none of the rooms in the club you worked in were available. That, and they were kind of gross anyway. At least, in your opinion.

As soon as he walked in, a wave of shyness washed over Mike. This was your apartment, he didn’t really feel as if he belonged here, and he needed to be respectful. You sensed his cocky attitude shift, and as you led him to your bedroom, you knew you had to do something to keep him from bolting. So you tackled him onto the bed. His eyes widened in surprise, he wasn’t expecting it, but he wasn’t going to complain.

Before you had a chance to start doing what you had planned to, he flipped you over, sandwiching you between his body and the bed. You instantly moaned, completely caught off guard. His body was pressed on top of yours, and you could feel his hot breath on your neck.

You were about to beg him to do something, anything, but you never got the chance. His lips sucked on your neck, evoking a whimper from you. “Mike, fuuuck...” you whined, the tone of your voice an indicator of your arousal. “Come on, be my good girl now...” he mumbled, lost in a world of ardor.

His hips began jutting up into yours, and you both groaned in response. As he snapped up against you, his hands fumbled around for the clasps on your top. After unhooking them, he tore the revealing garment off of your chest. He stared at you salaciously, practically drooling over himself. How had he gotten so lucky?

He clawed at your bottoms desperately, and once he had them off, his eyes were glued to your pussy and how wet you were for him. Without delay, you started yanking his clothes off as well. As soon as you pulled his boxers off, his cock sprang free of its restraints, leaking a bit of pre-cum at its tip. Fuck, he was huge. If you weren’t used to this kind of thing, you would have wondered if you could take him.

Before you had time to react, Mike shoved himself inside of your cunt. You squealed in arousal and surprise as he began to fuck into you like a madman. It was clear he hadn’t done this in a while, he was completely desperate to ravage you, but you weren’t complaining. Whines spilled from your lips and his name rolled off of your tongue along with a string of obscenities and moans about how good his dick felt inside of you.

He pounded into you with fervor, hips snapping up into you and filling you up. His hand snaked down to your clit, and he began to rub circles against the sensitive flesh. You moaned loudly, unable to control the volume of your voice. The feeling of his dick as it pistoned up into you with accuracy and precision was incredible. He was hitting your G-spot over and over, and as his hand continually grazed over your clit, you knew you were done for. It wouldn’t be long now.

As you came, a guttural cry echoed throughout your apartment. Mike continued fucking into you, chasing his own release. He finally erupted, his breath hitching as you felt his cum paint your insides white. “Damn... That was the best sex I’ve ever had,” you panted. Your hair clung to your face from the layer of sweat that covered your body, which gave a slight sheen to your skin. “Me too,” Mike agreed.

“By the way, today was my last day. Glad it wasn’t yesterday,” you mused aloud. “I’m really glad too,” Mike replied, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead. That’s when you realized. That he felt the same way you did. You had a feeling there was a connection before everything got so... sexual, but you weren’t sure if it was just you wanting it to be true so bad you believed it, or if it was actually real.

But now, based on that little display of affection, that little kiss he gave you a few moments ago, you knew. You were swept away inside your mind, but before you had a chance to continue your train of thought, Mike interrupted you. “By the way, could I have your number?”
