They're both gorgeous! The pearl and pink has my heart though 💖

Bookshop: Buy books online. Support local bookstores. An online bookstore that financially supports local independent bookstores and gives back to the book community.

PLEASE don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week.

They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, a really important annual event for our important community institutions.

Check out your local fave or bookshop.org.

laughing my ass off, I LOVE AO3 WRITERS

shapeshift!

More journalists need to talk about this the way Japanese articles do

Oh my goodness these are gorgeous

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

“bounce on it”? With these knees? I think not

Science Stopped Believing in Porn Addiction. You Should, Too Research finds that porn-related problems are predominantly caused by religious conflict. Clinically, this means people need help, but not necessarily with the porn.

"porn addiction isn't real" finally has scientific proof in a meta study because it finds the root cause - religious upbringing. And this was conducted by people who *went in thinking the addiction was real*! www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/wome...

extremely important PSA

They're all so cute!!! They'd go straight on a notebook cover or the sticker bombed laptop case

Who can relate? 🤣

I got this last week and it's just (chef's kiss) what a treat. I love the character details

Sketch of Astarion, Gale and Halsin: side view, Astarion lies on his back, upper body and legs lifted - with one hand he holds onto the bed sheet. Gale's in the middle, facing Astarion, his hands on Astarions belly for more leverage. His expression is delirious: eyes and mouth wide open, he might just had an epiphany. Behind him is Halsin, spreding Gales legs wider apart with his hairy thighs, completely enveloping Gale with his arms and burying his face in Gale's hair. The speechbubble next to Halsin says: "just like that my love - let go - you can let go", Gale's jittery speechbubble says "f-fuck... ah..." because he is clearly out of words. Astarion's speechbubble says "I think we might have broken our wizard, my love". And when you think threesomes are hard to draw - try to describe an image. My brain is still in loops!

Thirsty Thursday!
My favorite kind of sandwich - with melted wizzard in the middle ;)

Microsoft Research: GenAI can inhibit critical engagement with work and can potentially lead to long-term overreliance on the tool and diminished skill for independent problem-solving.

Microsoft: *sells GenAI aggressively into the Education 365 packages*

A close up of the 'descended'/normal Gale, with a hand over his chest marking. He looks serene and happy.

A close up of the 'ascended'/God Gale. He looks happy but possessed, with a glowing eye, and is holding magic in his hand.

NSFW comic of a bit older than canon Enji and Hawks. Basically just 6 pages of various closeups of Enji's ass and Hawks fondling it. #petedrawings #peteNSFW #petecomics
