[lemonsrosesandlavender]

@krawwan suggested Phaere/Rolan free use portal porn once and the thought has never left me. Phaere would decide that since she owns every inch of his lovely body, she wants to have access to it at all times. What if he’s out picking alchemy ingredients or new quill inks when she needs him most?

below the cut: public free use, anal fingering and pegging.

The palace mages can certainly find something in the library to help them solve the problem. Magic Mouth spells to record the sounds of Rolan whimpering and moaning are one thing; jewellery enchanted with sending so she can order him home at any time another. She will take both, of course, but she wants more, and eventually they find a solution; a small portal, concealed in a pocket-case. When it is opened, it allows the user full access to his hole… and Phaere makes full use of that access.

Idly touching him when she knows he is studying; giving him a few warmup strokes that she knows will send him stride-running through the castle corridors, rushing to her chambers in the hope that she will sate him. (She was going to sit on his face first; but the way he urgently yanks up his skirt and raises his tail convinces her she should take mercy on his poor, teased hole and fuck it until he is gasping her name).

The first few times he leaves the castle, he swallows down the embarrassment of knowing she’ll probably finger him just when he least expects it, trying to prepare himself for that eventuality. But it doesn’t come - not until the day he is perusing the stockbook in a bookbinder's shop, deliberating over which fine leather he wishes his newest notebook to be bound in. The binder steps away to find him some samples - and at that exact moment, Rolan stifles a gasp, his knees nearly buckling under him.

The binder doesn't notice, too engrossed in her hides, and Rolan seizes the opportunity to cast a Sending to his queen.

Mistress Phaere - I am -

It cuts off, lost, as her finger rings his hole again, slipping inside this time. A whimper slips out, and then another, loud enough that he catches the bookbinder's attention, and as she turns he knows cannot stay a moment more, humiliation burning through his chest all the way down to his cock.

'I have - urgent royal business to attend to - ' Rolan gasps, and runs out, turning the corner in the alley just as Phaere's strap-on presses at his entrance - thrusts inside him -

He drops to his hands and knees, telling himself it's so he can hide behind a stack of crates; but he could not get up if he tried. It is too overwhelming; her cock too sudden, too filling, to do anything else but shake and whimper and lash his tail, trying not to collapse entirely.

A few minutes, and one permissive Sending from his Mistress later, his hole is fucked and newly plugged, and cum decorates the inside of his expensive silk robes. Recovering his breath, he picks himself up unsteadily, and slowly reassembles his usual proud expression. It is probably a little undermined by the flush in his cheeks, but pride comes easily to Rolan; he may have just been fucked to utter ruin in a dingy Firgenstrame alleyway, but he was fucked by the Queen.

He straightens up, brushing the dirt from his knees, and adjusts his robes to make sure Phaere's collar is showing to its best effect before re-entering the shop.

'Is everything alright?' the binder asks. Her tone is deferential, but her eyebrows are most certainly raised. Let them raise. Rolan feels the warming steel left inside him, and is certain he would rather feel owned by Phaere than care a shred for the opinions of such irrelevant people.

When he exits, notebook freshly ordered, he finds one of the castle's Drow guards on a tall black steed, beckoning him to get on.

'The Queen sent me to find you. She thought you might be in need of a hot bath.'

Stamps with prehistoric animals from my stockbook

[stampedpub]

Hi! Sorry if you've answered something like this before and I missed it. I was entrusted with my family's stamp collection and would like to improve how it is kept. What recommendations do you have for stamp storage that are both convenient to access the stamps and store the stamps safely?

Hello and thanks for the question! I'm going to do a broad kind of all situations answer in hopes that an aspect will cover your situation and the rest will be helpful to other collectors, but feel free to message back if you need more specific advice.

Stamp storage is one of those everybody has a different opinion things in philately - it's mostly about starting with proper paper storage and working from there to figure out what's the best solution for you, your collection, and your space.

Top tip is to make sure your stamps aren't being kept in a humid or overly hot or cold area - damp can bring mold or disturb the gum on the back of the stamp (or even make your stamps stick together), and extreme variations in temperature can compromise the stamp as well. Many a stamp collection has been lost to basement or garage storage - which reminds me, you'll need to be aware of the pest situation wherever you choose to store it, because they do love to nibble on old paper.

If the stamps in your collection are largely loose in boxes, the next step up would be to get one or more stockbooks to store the stamps in. Stockbooks let you organize your stamps and make it easy to see what you have and what you don't, without having to mess around with mounts or hinges (more on that in a second). They also keep your stamps flat and come with leaves of either some kind of plastic or a wax-paper-like material between each page to keep your stamps from interacting with each other chemically. If you have a stamp store in your area, you can almost certainly purchase stockbooks from them, or you can buy directly online from the various brands (just search for stamp stockbooks). You can also often find new or lightly used stockbooks on sites like ebay - just be sure to check the price against going rates for new stockbooks so you're not overpaying.

Stockbooks are my personal favorite option - they're not super fiddly, you can see your collection at a glance, and you can be as organized as you like, plus they have built in stamp protection features. They also store a lot of stamps for their footprint, and most fit comfortably on a standard bookshelf. The major downside in my experience is that depending on the material the little sleeves are made of, your stamps might slip around a bit.

If your stamps are in stockbooks already and you want to kick it up a notch organizationally, you'll want to invest in a stamp album. Albums are typically organized by subject (for example, you might have an album featuring U.S. stamps from 1900 to 1950) and have spaces reserved for each stamp. You can then adhere the stamps using hinges (which are sort of like light strips of waxed paper with an adhesive that's designed to not damage the stamp) or mounts (which are little plastic windows, sort of? I'll put a picture below).

I believe these days most albums are in binder format so you can add additional pages as needed, but sometimes you can get an actual bound book. You can purchase albums from stamp stores/online providers, but some are available for free to download and print out (including a lot from our parent org, the American Philatelic Society). You can also make your own pages to fit your collection, in a word processor or a graphic design program (or with pencils and pens, the old fashioned way!). Just be aware that if you're making them for anyone but yourself, stamp copyright is real and complicated.

Regardless of whether you go with albums or stockbooks, you'll want to keep them either upright and supported (i.e. on a bookshelf) or flat (like in a desk drawer or a bankers box), and again, nowhere damp or with extreme temperatures. That's more about general book care than the stamps themselves, but it also keeps things from being jostled and your book/album from getting damaged.

There are also a variety of short term solutions for a small collections or portions of, including glassines (which are envelopes made out of that waxy paper), regular envelopes (but make sure the paper's acid-free/archival-ish if the stamps will be in there for any length of time, and regardless it wouldn't be my top recommendation), stock pages (which are individual stockbook pages with sleeves that you can put in a binder or use to send stamps through the mail) and a big favorite with philatelists, cigar boxes. I've also seen people use matchboxes, which is very aesthetic but a little fiddly.

Edit: You can also find a much more in-depth look at stamp storage from the APS here.

I hope that (very long) answer helped, and please feel free to reach out with any more questions!

Farmwives

I'm fascinated by these American wives on their homesteads in their makeup and their gingham dresses, because not one of them sounds like the farmers' wives I knew growing up.

What's this "good morning" thing they start with? The correct morning greeting is "that bloody animal's coughing again, I've put it in the barn for now*" or "Have you got them lambs/kids/calves fed yet?"

Why are they all making kissy faces when talking about their husbands? Do American men all run their wellies under the tap outside the kitchen before they come in and then remember to leave them on the mat? And if so, can they teach their British brothers?

Where are the wives' welly boots? And the coat with that one pocket that the dog/goat/donkey half-ripped open in search of snacks?

Why do their kitchens contain more humans than orphaned animals and dogs of varying degrees of usefulness? Why is there no straw on the floor and teated bottles being scrubbed?

Why do these wives have manicures? How do they milk the animals twice a day? Or decide they don't want to know what's under their nails this time?

As soon as I pick up a wedge of hay off the bale I can't stop half it going down my cleavage even under four layers of clothes. How do these wives not become scarecrow porn in their pretty gingham dresses?

Even if they're somehow mostly indoors, I've never seen one with the stockbook, recording parentage and birth dates of the animals, nor milk records writing down who gave how much this morning. I guess these days it's mostly done on spreadsheets, not the hardback books of my childhood, but why is nobody keeping the accounts? *A difficult dilemma is the expense of the vet,and it varies strictly by animal. A goat might have passing sniffles or just be fucking with you, a cow might just need the one jab and/or less dusty hay, but a sheep is already politely coughing people out of the way on her path to the afterlife. She'll expire the very second the vet's parked your yard. Sheep heaven must be really fucking plush, that's all I say.

It's all very alien, I can tell you.

[fruityyamenrunner]

i think it's a natural development, and you can tell a more interesting narrative than "we didn't do it, clinically evil people did"

These people "vaguely progressively-shaped" were *more* rational. in the late 20th century, those kinds of people were not that interested in witchcraft, which was a thing for jesus freaks, ethnics, gothics and so on.

the Skeptical movement of the late 20th century was always more anti-woo than anti-religion -- you look back at like the Randi stuff, and their interests are in developing a stockbook of anti-witchcraft arguments, and baiting witches into duels. They were very marginal because people generally did not believe in witchcraft as anything but superstition so why would you get obsessed by it to want to fight them? And clearly plenty of the Skeptics had woo radiation of one kind or another coming off them, which made then also unappealing.

But around the turn of the millennium, under the influence of Atheists, and the beginning of the collapse of mainline Protestantism in America (and the consolidation of its collapse in Britain), and the Global War on Terror, anti-religion became central, and unlike the marginal appeal of anti-witchcraft, anti-religion speaks to everyone.

It seems to me that this was an opening up of new space, a competition to catch people who were entering this new identity, post-Christian, phoboumenoi-ten-Physin. The original skeptical core, famously, lost out in the "New Atheist" scene for being, essentially, old men, fighting a war against witches for their own strange reasons, as did the "New Atheists" themselves, who in the 2010s got sidelined for not being "social justicy" enough.

What happened is that the witches won. The famous "replication crisis" has mostly hit those parts of psychology which, in the 2000s-2010s attempted to formulate a school of occultism grounded on "scientific" psychological principles, so that one could, with science, do things like identify whether someone is being hexed ("socially primed"), cause change in consciousness in accordance with will (through "nudges" like putting an Eye of Horus in unclean places to make people wash themselves) nd locate various evil spirits (socially unacceptable "implicit unconscious attitudes") that are wrong relations in a deep spiritual core of wisdom in your mind that understands you yourself and the world better than you consciously know ("UTT").

These ideas went through professional managerial minds like hot knives through butter, because they were so powerful and explanatory, as all witchcraft ideas are. And once the idea that "you are capable of being bewitched" got embedded, it is only a few minutes before someone comes along and says "And offense is the best defence!"

The early mode was very defensive -- we must watch out for the footprints of witches, so we can beware them. Now you are encouraged to put witch signs everywhere so you can make magic work for you. This was always present, frankly, in the Social Justice movement, which has been superstitious as hell from the start.

like completely aside from the fact that an it's unwelcoming to questioning, nontransitioning & closeted people, how did we (as vaguely progressive-shaped people who can be assumed to have been feminists in the 00s/10s and to be trans-positive now) go from obsession with the idea of unconcious bias and that orchestra thing and everything to "hey let's emblazon everything from email sigs to chat handles with signifiers of gender, in a work context. We'll put it right next to the name so everyone knows it's like the second most important fact about people. I bet this will have no unforeseen consequences."

A THOUSAND YEARS??

NGL, took me a sec to click on wtf this was about.Not *quite* a thousand years, that was  bit of hyperbole but yeah, I’ve traced my patrilineal direct line back to 1200 AD.  (At this point I need to go offline, so I’m waiting for resources)   One  of my direct ancestors was knighted by Alexander III of Scotland, complete with lands and a castle (now literally a staircase in a cow paddock)  which simplified things immensely because the peerage really really like keeping their stockbooks nice and accurate in an attempt to provide validity.    It makes doing this ancestry shit soooo much fcking easier when you have  antecedents you can literally look up on wiki, I’ll tell you that.
