Omg how do you think Joel would react to LO being on her period, do you think he/she’d enjoy some period sex
Joel Miller x Fem!Reader
Takes place in a nondescript point in The Wrong Way universe
CW: SMUT, period sex, blood and blood play... so much blood. so much. Just... every blood warnings lmfaooooooo so many bodily fluids in places they shouldn't be its disgusting but hey. here we are. No refractionary period bc I said so, time and science bend to my whim.
This is NOT necessary to the story at ALL so if messy messy bodily fluid talk grosses you out you can skip!!!
******************
"Fuck, little one, red is a good color on you" Joel mumbles as he kneels before you, fucking into your bleeding cunt. Joel had come home from 'business' as he called it, and he must've had a particularly bad day, because when you tell him you are on your period, expecting to suck him off as per the usual routine when you were bleeding, Joel instead went feral, tossing you on the bed and literally cutting you out of your clothes.
"J-Joel, the mess-" You tried to protest, but he was quick to shush you.
"I'll clean you up baby, I always do"
You were more concerned about the sheets and staining that shitty mattress that you have to sleep on and good, how humiliating it will be when Tommy changes the sheet, but Joel had already started fucking you.
You couldn't deny it, you wanted him, more than usual today. You always did on your period and were left frustrated after taking care of him with your mouth during the weeks you bled... you were happy to get some fucking relief.
Joel was so enthralled by the sight of blood on you, it made you nervous that maybe he liked it enough to draw it out of you. Would the knife that cut open your clothes, cut open your skin?
The slap of skin was obscenely wet, tiny splattering of blood flying away from each snap of his hips, the force of which caused the blood to mark up both of your centers in the fluids coming out of you.
"Fuuuuck!" Joel growls as he pulls out of you and for a moment you are disappointed; Joel never just left you wanting... did you do something wrong?
But sure enough, his fingers were inside you, fingering you hard with one hand as the other smeared blood all over you. "Come on my hand, little girl, I need it nice and wet, gonna paint you up, my pretty little picture." You gushed on him, so sensitive from your period and the way his hands moved over your swollen nipples, covering you in red.
"Mark me, Joel" Never mind the JM literally branded on you, but you begged for more "Cover me" You wanted him, you wanted his touch so bad you didn't care how it came.
As you ride out the waved, Joel did as he promised, painting you like a canvas in a medium of your own blood, sweat and arousal, the sticky solution littering your skin in filth and sex. His large hand pressed on your lower stomach, and you felt more blood come out in a disgusting spurt, oozing from you, but that's what he wanted.
Moving to your side and pumping his cock with lube of your blood, his right hand scooped out what he had drawn out of you, whiping it all over your face until his two middle finger were shoved in your mouth. You gag on the taste of iron on his fingers pumping in your mouth, but god, god you were so worked up you couldn't help it, you take a risk and slip a hand between your legs; you needed to cum again, you needed it.
To the sound of Joel fucking his fist and the soft slop of his fingers in your mouth, you cum as he does; and he cums hard. Legs, torso, face, all covered in his cum and your drying blood.
Joel sits back to look at his work, drying his hand in your hair only to cake onto the sweat that was already there, and you were certain you looked positively wrecked... but that's how you felt, that's what you wanted, this was what only Joel could give you, this connection, permission to be your most base self. You pull him to lay down and climb on top, his hardening cock about ready to go again, as were you. Your walls were to swollen from the brutal thrusts, but you wanted to paint him the way he painted you.
Heaving and dripping with precum, his cock rested against his stomach and with out putting him inside you, you rock your hips over him, feeling the fat tip between your folds. "fuck, Joel" You moan out loudly, feeling every vein on him and the ridge of the head as you touch yourself, every nerve on fire to the point where you were aware of nothing except the feeling of Joel: his firm chest, his soft stomach, the hair on his legs and the gruff sounds spilling out of him as he showered you in praise, sliding his hand underneath you.
"Soak me, little one, soak my hand" You didn't have much of a choice of when and how much your period blood came out, but it was enough to satisfy him as he planted a firm handprint around your neck, squeezing just enough to bring you pleasure, not pain. "Come again, pretty thing, make those gorgeous sounds"
You do as you're told, you always do as he tells you, painting him in blood and slick and salty sweat.
"Fucking perfect" He mumbles and you fall onto him, your own individual canvases meshing together a swirl of art that only you two can create as he kissed his praise into you.
He cleans on his face of anything that transferred from you to while when you kissed, and went out to heat up water for the bath. You didn't dare clean up, knowing Joel would want to admire his work before he took care of you, and you were right.
He stood above you, large and broad and imposing, his shirt barely buttoned as he watched you spread out before him. Despite the pain and the violations previously, you found yourself open and venerable to him. Why else would you lay there covered in several bodily fluids like Jack the Ripper’s whore while he looked at you like a bloody Caravaggio painting on display for his enjoyment.
You expected for him to clean you up a bit before he wrapped you up; he always did, he always touched you with care and tenderness on all the swollen and aching parts of you, but to your surprise, he simply wrapped you up.
"Joel, Joel the blood-" You express concern again, but this time because it's on your face. Who is out there to see? You can't go out there like this, not with cum in your hair and his hand print marred in blood around your neck. "No-" You whimper as he begins to carry you outside. You don't try to fight him, you know its useless, so you try to burry your face in his shoulder.
Joel yanks your head back. "Don't you dare" his voice was harsh before he sooths the pain by gentle patting down your hair. "Don't hide" it was gentle now…
The good news, only one person was in the living room as you were carried past to the bathroom, and it wasn't Tommy; you couldn't bare for Tommy to see you like this, such blatant evidence on how his brother broke you.
The bad news was it was Lorenzo. You expeced maybe to see envy in his face, jealously that Joel could so clearly do whatever he wanted to you, maybe that look in his eye that Nick always got...
But instead, it was clear disgust. Whether at you or at Joel, you didn't know... but you no longer felt like a painting on display, suddenly you felt like a broken down little freak show to be gawked at, rediculed and humiliated.
'Look at my little toy' Joel seemed to be saying as he paraded you past. 'You heard how loud she moaned for me, look what she lets me do, look how I've broken her in.'
And yet... his touch was ever gentle as he cleaned you, including your face; not a drop of water in your eyes, his hold was still tight and comforting as you rested against him in the tub, and his words were still full of praise.
Maybe you were his toy... but maybe you were his favorite toy... and favorite toys don't stay in pristine condition, they get played with...
Was it so wrong to be a doll getting played with, if at the end of the day you were still the one he picked up?
***********
IDK this was supposed to be a few paragraphs of smut for period sex and I got carried away.
Also I wanna know which one of y'all voted wanting Little One to end up with Lorenzo and i just wanna know why. Theres no wrong answer im just curious!

Jennifer Lopez Wears a Plunging Black Bodysuit With a Striking High-Leg Cut
Jennifer Lopez is promoting her beauty line, JLo Beauty, wearing a simple and chic black bodysuit in a new campaign post that emerged on the brand's feed on Jan. 15. The look, which ensured that her flawless skin was on full display, boasts an '80s "Flashdance"-era silhouette, completed with a thong bottom, super-high leg cut above the hip, and plunging neckline that bared a hint of cleavage. Her hair and makeup were natural, aiding to the advertisement of her skin-care range, which is more about the health of your body and skin than the makeup added to your routine. Fun fact? Lopez wore the actual "Flashdance" bodysuit in her "I'm Glad" music video back in 2003, so pulling off this aesthetic (also reflected in the Norma Kamali look she rocked in June) is certainly in her blood. This particular JLo Beauty promotional image comes at the brand's one-year anniversary, having originally launched on New Year's Day in 2021 after two decades of discussion. Right on the heels of her Barbiecore workout look that was posted for Bodyarmor last week, this shoot is a bit cleaner and sleeker in style as well as in color palette. While Lopez wears her bodysuit as a fully skin-baring look, it's one of our favorite wardrobe essentials to layer with other basics. With any of the bunch-free, seamless designs ahead, you need little more than some vintage denim or a silk slip skirt to finish the outfit. As such, take a cue from Lopez's playbook, and shop some classic black thong bodysuits, with styles for every body shape and budget.

Jennifer Lopez Skin Care
New Post has been published on https://skin-care-routine.com/skin-care-routine/jennifer-lopez-skin-care/
Jennifer Lopez Skin Care
A. Everything You Need To Know About Jennifer Lopez’s Skincare Routine
That’s exactly how the triple threat maintains its coveted “JLo glow”. Few people have skin as fabulous as Jennifer Lopez. Her radiant and wrinkle-free complexion has been a source of admiration for the world for decades-and inspires fans to search Google for the answer to her beautiful naked face. It is complete and meticulous, but doable.
“People always ask about my skin,” Lopez told Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford during a segment in 2014. “I must say that I have good genes. My mom and grandma had beautiful skin, so I was blessed that way. No I had plastic surgery … no injections, no filling, nothing. ”
In December 2020, the 51-year-old from the Bronx answered the prayers of those looking for Lopez’s skin care routine with the launch of JLo Beauty: a central line of products like sunscreen, eye cream and serum (available now) that help maintain Lopez’s charisma disease can achieve what “the JLo-Leuchten” was coined.
But what else does the star Hustlers do other than use their lineage religiously to achieve natural perfection? Read everything we know about Lopez’s skin care routine, compiling interviews over the years.
1. Jennifer Lopez uses SPF every day
Sunscreens are easy to discard because they are uncomfortable or boring, but the fact is that everyone with beautiful skin trusts them, including Lopez. It’s all about finding the right formula for you, whether it’s a high-quality formula that melts on your skin or moisture with UV protection added to it.
“I was never the type to sunbathe, which is why my skin was self-sustaining,” she told us Weekly for the January 2018 edition of the outlet. However, the icon of beauty does not always escape sunlight. “I like to sunbathe like everyone else when I go on vacation,” she told POPSUGAR Beauty in December 2020. “It’s not something I over-abuse, but that’s why a large part [of JLo Beauty] was sunscreen. . ”
“A dermatologist told me too young to use sunscreen and I asked myself, ‘What do I need sunscreen for? I live in New York. “But the truth is, that was an important part of my ability to look young, because I used it as a moisturizer every day. It helped me protect myself from the elements, and many people don’t understand that such a big part of looking young is wearing sunscreen every day. ”
2. Jennifer Lopez believes in this skin care ingredient
Interestingly, the skin care ingredient of the lonely island cast member is a staple of the kitchen: olive oil. “My mom used to say that olive oil is the panacea for everything,” revealed Lopez in a statement shared with GRAZIA USA. “And it’s a secret that I’ve used over the years because it really works.”
It is now an irreplaceable part of Lopez’s skin care routine. “Whenever my hair, skin or nails dried, I went back to the oil,” she said at a Zoom meeting with beauty editors, explaining that this is exactly why the main ingredient of her skin care line has become the JLo Beauty Contributes Olive Complex line: A mixture of four parts of squalane, fermented olive oil, extra virgin olive oil and olive leaf extract.
3. Jennifer Lopez always washes her face after exercise
The actress casually trains five times a week, so of course it’s not strange to be sweaty … often. “I always, always wash my face after training,” she said hello! in 2016. “It helps to keep my pores clean and my skin looking healthy.”
4. Jennifer Lopez never sleeps in makeup
No matter how much Selena’s student wants to end the day and go to bed, she never gives up on her nightly cleaning routine. “I never go to bed without my makeup on and use night creams to keep my skin hydrated,” Lopez told People in 2016.
And we should all take notes of Lopez when it comes to his consistent sleep schedule. “Ideally, I would like to sleep nine or ten hours,” Lopez told InStyle in 2016. “But, anyway, I always make sure to get at least eight.”

Lopez’s skin care routine is clearly solid, but she also pays attention to how she feeds her body from the inside out. “I don’t drink, smoke and I don’t have caffeine,” she said in Weekly in 2016. “It really ruins your skin as you get older.” What does not hurt the skin? Greens and H2O, which Lopez has in abundance. “We eat a lot of green vegetables, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and kale,” she told the establishment. And instead of wine, she drinks at least seven glasses of water a day.
In May 2020, her chef, Kelvin Fernandez, announced that Lopez likes to start the day with green juice. She is not a big fan of fruits, but will drink a mix of “vegetables like spinach, cucumber and celery”.
6. Jennifer Lopez takes it easy on her days off
If Lopez doesn’t like makeup artist Mary Phillips and hairdresser Chris Appleton, she is probably keeping things simple and relaxed. “I am very cautious with my daily beauty routine. I have to wear a lot of makeup to work. So, when I’m not working, I usually wear little or no makeup, ”hitmaker Jenny From the Block told Instyle in 2018.
7. Jennifer Lopez gets occasional treatment
No, it’s not botox or filler, but a facial treatment that adds a little more TLC to her skin outside of Lopez’s skin care routine. Before appearing on the 2020 Super Bowl break program, the famous beautician Toska Husted did a facial with Biologique Recherche products. She is also no stranger to Dr. Lancers Signature Placenta Facial, an anti-aging treatment that “promotes the production of collagen and elastin”.
  B. 11 Anti-Aging Tricks Jennifer Lopez Uses to Look Half Her Age
Jennifer Lopez’s impressive appearance at the Super Bowl LIV halftime show got everyone talking. Not only did her pole dance skills come to the point with someone-like an experienced professional-in her 20s, but her timeless beauty quickly earned her the nickname J. Glow.

In addition to his diet, Lopez believes that there is a connection between the mind and the body when it comes to beauty. “I definitely think that beauty comes from within – you need to keep your mind, soul, body and spirit in sync,” she told InStyle in 2016. “I firmly believe in meditation and when you are happy and have joy and love, you radiate beauty. ”
She also revealed to Harper’s Bazaarin in 2018 that she is a fan of daily mantras and affirmations. “I am young and timeless. I say this to myself every day, a few times a day. It sounds like fucking cliché, but it’s not like age is all in your head. Look at Jane Fonda,” she shared.

In case you didn’t know, Jennifer Lopez has a new line of skin products called JLo Beauty and she wants you to use it! What better way to demonstrate the effects of That Jlo Glow Serum or That Fresh Take Eye Cream than to really show what she is doing under her flawless makeup?
In the post-New Year video, Lopez is still wearing her stage makeup from a recent performance that she describes as “a lot of makeup”. The pop star starts her nightly skin care routine in three steps with her new cleanser That Hit Single. She applies only a quarter of the size of the Pinky Pearlescent product to her face before cleaning her makeup with her hands. “Wash 2020”, she joked.
For the remainder of her eight-minute video, Lopez demonstrates the rest of her routine by passing on to her $ 118 That JLo Glow Serum, which she says gives her “more shine than if I were wearing makeup”.
Lopez claims that she sent the product back to the drawing board about 23 times before getting the “firming and instant shine” effect she was looking for. Lopez then closed his video with That Blockbuster Wonder Cream.
Jennifer Lopez recently announced to Glamor that she never tried Botox. “I’m not that person. I have nothing against who does this. It’s just not my thing,” she said during Zoom’s call with beauty editors. “I’m more interested in a natural approach to skin care. I think, honestly, it starts with who you are on the inside first and it shows on your face on the outside. That’s number one.”

Hey. Thanks for the book! I figured the number written in the book was your number? If not, I’m sorry and don’t mind this message. - 08.45

The name’s Aurora I mean. - 09.04
nvm - 09.05
Thanks for the book! Good luck with everything! - 09.06
And say hi to Kal from me - 09.06
Tumblr media
‘Are you asleep?’ Fingers traced through Henry’s curls, their strands slightly sticky with hair products and sweat after one busy night between the sheets, the ceiling fan broken. Henry grumbled, indicating he was at least sort of awake, his lips curling in a lazy, close-eyed smile.
‘Again?’ He mumbled quietly with his young sweet voice. The woman laughed and propped herself up on one arm, eyes tracing down the soft morning silhouette of the kid who became a man.
‘No, no. You did well.’ She lowered her fingers to trace his brow, nose, cupid’s bow and lips, fingertips silky soft and gentle over Henry’s skin. Henry’s smile grew. Almost as if proud he had managed to please her.
For a moment the room was quiet. A very early Los Angeles sun was starting its slow rise over the hills somewhere far from this 70’s style abode with its paisley print curtains and yellow shag pile carpet. The interior fitted its owner quite well; her long sleek brown hair cut in bangs that hid those mysterious emeralds that had taunted his dreams ever since he met her on set. She was older. Much older. And perhaps those bangs were there just to hide her first wrinkles. But Henry rested easy beneath her trailing fingers, his eyes slowly fluttering open as she spoke again: ‘So how is Hollywood treating you?’ There was some concern in her voice and Henry looked at her. After getting busy all night they hadn't spoken quite so sincerely yet. He shrugged.
‘Hollywood is Hollywood?’
The woman moved her fingertips to his chin and used her hand to tilt his face more sharply in her direction. Her mouth opened to speak, but she hesitated. The concern had now spread to her eyes as they gleamed in the light of dawn. ‘Be careful yea? And if you ever need help with anything..? I can help..or get you help. Okay?’
‘Ok.’ Henry pushed himself up so he could cup his hand around her cheek, pulling her closer. She let him. ‘Thank you.’ He whispered, kissing her like the way they did in the movies.
Tumblr media
Henry stretched out in his naked morning glory, the early London air chilly on his skin. Pushing the sheets off of him and with Kal refusing to wake from his doggy dream by the foot end of the bed, Henry padded over to the ensuite. Squinting in the burst of bright lights clicking on, he stepped beneath the shower, cold water jumpstarting his day, the very air pushed out of his lungs as the radio alarm cued exactly on time. 4.30.
'Li-like sugar, so sweet Good enough -- to eat,'
Gasping softly Henry pawed his hands over his crusty eyes, waiting for the water to become more warm and soothing with every massaging drop of water. From here on his morning routine was perfected to the minute. Coffee: brazilian. Gym: ACDC. Eggs: 5. Kal: walk. Cab: thankfully on time.
It was near 9 when he walked onto set in his full gear, ready for his first run-through of the day, Leah waving him off with Kal by her side. 'Be careful yea?' She chanted, smiling as he winked at her - she always said that no matter how totally safe the day's set would be.
'I will! Have fun today.'
'You too!' Leah wanted to turn around when she felt something buzz deep inside her bag of tricks, her hand having to angle for a bit before she found Henry's phone - kept there for safe keeping.
Whatsapp - 08.45 - Hey. Thanks for the book! ..
Leah smiled.
And there was the mysterious new book owner.
Tumblr media
Henry let himself fall back on his bed, the frame squeaking. Suddenly Jersey felt too small. His bedroom too boyish. His clothes too normal. His dreams no fiction but real.
Flopping around on his belly he turned his attention back to his flip phone, his eyes roving over the call that had just finished. Hundreds of boys, hundreds of auditions. But he got it. He got it! Smiling only to himself he sighed, near missing the sound of feet walking over the floorboard landing.
Was that Charlie? With an excited little squeal Henry pushed himself off his bed to chase after his brother. It looked like his little brother had just lost a bet!
Tumblr media
'HENRYYY!!! Henry!!!' Squinting his eyes at the flash of a camera, he stepped out of the hotel's revolving doors. By his side his trusty pal Kal looked up. Fans.
'Henry! Can I take your picture? -- Can you sign-' Some pieces of paper were shoved in his face and with the blinding glare of the flash gone he finally managed to throw a smile their way, his free hand scribbling some signatures here and there as he greeted them with a warm good morning.
Some girls squealed and as the excitement finally dissipated, Henry thanked them all and bid them a good day, some few last flashes following his silhouette as he pulled Kal in the direction of the nearest Parisian park.
It truly had become a Mission Impossible to just walk his dog. And Henry couldn't help but laugh as Kal snorted in what may be disapproval.
'I know I know. I won't forget about you.'
Tumblr media
'Hey.'
'H-hi. Hi?'
'It's Henry.'
'Oh, of course!'
Henry smiled as Aurora's voice greeted him back through the phone line. It was a little past snacktime, his hands holding onto his tupperware with last night's pasta. He was hungry, but with her messages waiting for him, he had decided food could wait a moment.
'So I see the book has found a good home with you?'
'It has. Hahah. Thank you again. In fact..I kind of finished it last night, dodging around some particularly benign toothmarks I think I got the jest of the story.' She laughed again, making Henry smile back as he looked out over the set, some camera men in raincoats dragging around material.
'Well there's more where that came from.'
He hesitated the moment the words were out of his mouth. OH you donkey! That..that is not something you say to -- she laughed even harder.
'Oh why that sounds both terribly enticing and terribly inappropriate hahahaha.'
'Sorry that kinda - '
'Oh please hush.' Her chuckles subsided and after some loud clatter and a yelp her voice returned to the phone. 'Hey..eh..aherm..can I-eh, DAMMIT, can I call you back?'
'Something wrong?'
'J-just me trying to manage coffee and a laptop - and failing.' It sounded like this was just another Tuesday for her. She really was clumsy huh?
'Oh! Oh yes. Of course. Hope your laptop's alright..eh.. I'm off after..6..ish?' Henry looked to his left and saw Leah return with one exhausted Kal, back from their walk.
'Okay!'
'Alright. Goodbye..Aurora.'
'Byeeee!'
Tumblr media
He was soo, soo hungry. Cutting never was his favourite part of dieting, though this time it was extra rough. For half a year he had just let go, not working out much at all. But then the one role that got away was back in arm's reach and for the hell of it; he couldn't let it slip by.
Gritting his teeth he focused back on the barbell on the gym mat, weights the size of two small children on either side. At least if Ellen wanted kids, I can manage them with ease, he thought, gripping his sore hands around the bar before he pushed off to lift it with all the strength he could muster. It wasn't enough. The bar only lifted halfway before his body sighed in defeat, the weight of it all crashing down on him finally as the barbell landed back on the floor with a loud thump.
Ellen hadn't called back in days.
Tumblr media
'Remember me?' He felt stupid for calling, but he just needed it right now.
A warm voice responded like they called all the time.
'Hey! Henry! Of course! How are you?! Are you okay dear?'
Henry settled on the airport bench, waiting for his personal cab to arrive. Stardom was great, but in silent moments like these he felt terribly alone. He felt stupid for it, but her voice was near bringing him to tears.
'Yea ehh..' His voice broke and the small boy in this Superman body returned.
'Hey-hey. No problem darling no problem. Where are you right now? Are you safe?'
Henry nodded and looked through the haze of his tears in hope nobody would see him - thankfully he was alone.
'Talk to me.'
'I'm sorry for--' He wished to hang up, forget about it all. Ellen leaving. The stress. Fatigue. The travel. But he didn't. He just hesitated, waiting for her to speak again.
'I don't know where you are Henry dear. But you must know that you're not alone, okay? And if you happen to be in town; I'm making an absolutely delicious, mean and green lasagna.'
Henry wiped away a rogue tear and smiled. He could kill for a lasagna right now. And one cheat meal couldn't hurt right? Looking up as he saw a man with a clipboard sporting his name appear, he sat a little more upright.
'I--I might just take you up on that.'
Tumblr media
'Okay.' Her lack of glasses and banana print socks made the woman before him near irrecognizable. She did however still have that dorky vibe about her, especially when she removed the awkwardly placed handbag before her; a stain on the right side of her tight dress appeared. She grimaced. 'It's bad isn't it?'
Henry chuckled and stood up from his seat, the chique bar a hushed daze of black furniture and fancy cocktails being carried by hipster bearded men. 'Hi Aurora.'
'Hi.' She let a chuckle escape her red painted lips and let him move out a seat for her. She smelled nice.
'I thought I could fit in one more business meeting and eat on the way. And..yea..that--' She shook her head and waited for Henry to take his seat, his face beaming with mirth.
'Stain or not, I'm glad you're here.'
'As am I.' She picked up the drinks card and immediately turned it to the snacks side. 'Do you mind if I order something on the side?'
'Oh no, no of course. I'd like some too actually.' He leaned in to look with her through the options, the both of them deciding on a cheesy snackboard.
'And here I was thinking all of Hollywood was on a diet.' She smirked, making Henry grin.
'Trust me: been there, done that. But no more. I like eating simply too much.' He winked and signaled a waiter to take their order.
'Good.'
Tumblr media
He had initially spread his arms to keep his balance as he rushed after Kal on this slippery meadow of grass. But as Kal returned on Henry's call, leaving some racing off sheep behind, Henry kept his arms up like that. Like an eagle in flight he sniffed in the countryside air, feeling blessed cold air tingle his lungs. Life was good right now. Really really good.
Halting his feet and near slipping in the process, he lowered his arms to praise Kal for listening and returning to him. Sometimes, his furry son truly could be a handful. Today, he was a good boy.
'Chasing after the ladies again huh?' He rushed his fingers through Kal's thick warm fur. 'Well there's one thing you should know Kal; gotta give them some space every now and then.' Kal looked up. 'And don't forget to listen to what they want, mkay?'
Kal borked softly. Henry laughed, being bombarded with an in-the-face-tongue-kiss.
--
Drinks buzzed in their veins and between all the laughter and nerding out, Henry noticed something. First he thought it was a play of light. A figmentation of his mind. But he could see it clearly now as she noted his gaze and held up her left hand: no longer there, the left-over indent from what once had been a ring.
'I'm no longer married if that's what you want to ask.' She sighed and lowered her hand again, looking at it with an unreadable expression.
'Oh eh.. no, no. I couldn't be so rude to..-'
'No, you're very much allowed to ask, Henry. Please.' Aurora smiled and took a somewhat shaky breath before finding her comfortable, confident (though slightly clumsy) self again. 'He got cancer, died two years ago. We built the company together..'
'I'm sorry for your loss.'
She smiled. 'Thank you. I do miss him, but this is just life. Can't have the good without the bad. And it's okay now. I like where I am.'
'In some dimlit bar with some weirdo you met on an airplane?'
'Absolutely.' She snickered, then shook her head. 'But no haha. You're no weirdo Henry. In fact; you are perfectly, and surprisingly..normal.' And with that she reached out that ring-less hand and brushed it over his right hand opposite the table. Her hands were so soft on his.
A comfortable silence fell and were it not for the toasty heat of the indoors, Henry would swear he was on that meadow with Kal again, feeling like he was breathing truly for the first time in a long, long while.
He smiled.

Ok, this is an interesting one lol I mean no, it’s not “okay” - since it usually constitutes lying/hiding/hurting someone - BUTTTT, for a lack of a better term - I wanna say it’s “normal”? But thats because I, personally, am on the fence about the concept of monogamy. Like no, I’ve never cheated nor experienced that in return - but the whole concept of monogamy and like that a person can love and only love or be with one person is WILLLLDDD and I can’t help but note that its a social construct that we, as a society, are conditioned to from the time we are born. Idk if that makes sense bc im high af lol but those are my thoughts…like to sum it up - cheating is fucked up and sucks, but at the same time its not all that surprising/shocking anymore, like borderline “normalized” just as divorces are and shit, so I feel like bc biologically we aren’t made to be with one person lol.

Mornings are begrudgingly getting out of bed to brush your teeth with toothpaste from the 99 cent store, to brush the knots and tangled mess out of your hair to look somewhat presentable, to put on the same shirt from two days ago because you were too tired to do laundry this week, to drive in your 2009 Pontiac G5 that was wearing tires that should have been replaced two fucking years ago, to grab an overpriced and watered down "latte" in a drive through that wasn't quick enough, to park in that same parking spot that your boss with the last name Vagina gave you, to teach horny, smelly, and most of the time ungrateful teens that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
But this morning was not routine. This morning was a disaster.
At first I thought he was dead. His chest didn't seem to move and his skin was so tight around his ribs I thought his whole body was about to tear open. His pale blue hair a mess and drool pouring out of his thin lips. My bedroom was a mess, with clothing thrown everywhere . . . even a lab coat. I reached out to check for a pulse, stretching over about to press two fingers against his neck when he just about rolled right off the bed. At least he was alive.
The events leading up to sleeping with what could just be someone's Grandfather were those that occurred out of self loathing and boredom. Things were not going as planned. Another thing that seemed to be out of my control was getting this geezer out of here. He was out cold . . . and I had less than ten minutes to get to work.
Fuck. I could either let this total stranger let himself out and pray he doesn't steal anything or miss my job and risk losing my position. To be honest with the way my life was going, I don't know what's worse.
Well, what do I have to lose anyway if I let him be? My dignity? I lost that a long time ago by becoming a teacher. Besides, the only thing valuable in my shit hole is a half bottle of vodka and a couple dollar bills.
Throwing on yesterdays pants, Mondays shirt, and some smelly perfume I was gone.
"Please don't be here when I get back."  I sighed and locked the front door.
˜
The hang over wasn't too bad but I could still feel heaviness in my head. The bell had just rung and the decent students rolled in on time and those who could care less followed in a few minutes late or just didn't bother to show up. Throwing my belongings beside my desk and flipping on the computer was the signal of another long and brooding day.
With each lecture I knew I was talking out of my ass. I used to have passion about teaching and science but now it was just the same thing over and over. It was in one ear and out the other with most of them. I wanted to shape young minds and change the world but instead I'm talking about the periodic table of elements as teens pick their nose and text each other lewd messages. I was so naive, thinking a teacher could make a difference. A month into working at Harry Herpson High School it proved that every teaching job was bound to be the same.
First period faded into last and the bell for the students to go home was like icing on the cake for everyone here. Packing up my papers, there was a knock at my door.
"U-uh Ms. Vinton?" It was Morty Smith. Morty was an interesting kid. He wasn't here a lot, and he wasn't the brightest either. But he appeared to mean well. When he wasn't pining after another student, he wasn't really doing anything wrong either. He was just another sophomore.
"Hey, Morty. Come in." I waved him in, still packing away papers into my briefcase.
"S-so I f-failed my exam, huh?" he squeaked, with a bit of disappointment in his voice.
I took in a deep breath. "Yeah . . . that kind of happens when you don't show up for it."
Morty looked down at his shoes. "A-aw geez. My parents are gonna kill me."
I felt bad for the kid. I was in school once too . . . I know it's not exactly easy.
I turned off the computer monitor and looked to him. "I can talk to Vagina about another rewrite, but Morty you really have to step up your game here. You're a decent kid . . . you just need to apply yourself or some . . . bull crap. You can't keep skipping class and ditching out on assignments and tests. At the end of the day, it falls on you to be responsible for your actions. Even if that means summer school."
"T-thanks M-Ms. Vinton. It's j-just my Grandpa . . . y'know?"
"Is he sick? Is that why you haven't been here lately?"
"N-no it's just . . . I'm like his a-apprentice or something. I t-thought you met him. H-he's always dragging me a-away from e-everything . . . he was here yesterday? H-he's a little hard to miss." Morty said, adjusting his backpack and making his way to the door.
I let out small laugh and tapped my head. "Well, Morty if you haven't noticed I'm not always checked in here."
He smiled. "Y-yeah but y-you're the most tolerable. T-that's better than nothing."
"Thanks Morty" I smiled. We both walked out and I locked my classroom door. "Be here tomorrow, I'll let you know what the deal is for the re-write." I adjusted to my briefcase, which was full of at least a week's worth of grading to do. Morty nodded and left in the other direction as I made my way to the parking lot. Another day another dollar.
˜
Fumbling with my keys in one hand and briefcase in the other because I was too stubborn and didn't want to take another trip to my car I finally escaped the outdoor air and was greeted with the stale smell of my house. I need to get rid of this gross carpet.
The clash of my keys falling into the bowl by the door was enough to echo through the empty house. I wasn't one for trinkets, really. I had a small vase of flowers and a couple art pieces on the wall that I bought at some garage sale. It was just me, myself, and I.
I heard a loud belch.
And in return I screamed and dropped every single paper I needed to grade. It was snowing pop quiz's. I still had company.
"Oh h-heURP-ey." It was him. He was dressed . . . if you could call it that. Blue shirt, brown pants, and lab coat. I'm sure Giorgio Armani would love this look.
"Why are you still here!?" I screamed, clutching at my chest. My heart was pounding like a drum.
"Uh, you lo-locked the d-urp- door?"
"It was a latch! It's a latch lock! You can't unlatch a latch lock?!"
"Th-that sounds like a tongue twister . . . but-but with th-that- with that fuck- fucking tongue of yours I'm-uRRp- n-not- I knew you could handle it." He had devilish grin on his face. I knew exactly what he was thinking.
He began to walk towards me, until my back was pressed against the door. There was a flutter in my stomach. For Christ's sake, I have to stand my ground.
"Well, you can go! Like, right now!" I told him firmly, jabbing a finger into the middle of his hollowed chest.  He lifted my chin up, forcing me to make eye contact. "You- you really wa- want me to go, Ana?" his voice played around with my emotions. Last night's events began to come back to me in flashes.
"No" was all I managed to say as he lifted me up, wrapping my legs around his waist. For someone so thin and  . . . so old . . . he was incredibly strong. He started to kiss at my neck.
"I don't even remember your name."
The laugh that escaped his lips tickled at my neck, causing me to grip onto to him even tighter.
"I f-find that fuck-fucking hard to believe, considering how many times y-you sc-urPP-screamed it last night. " He pulled away and looked at me with a growing smile. I started blankly.
"It's Rick, b-baby."
He kissed me hard.
“Also I d-drank your vodka.”

XXII: 1922
On Cavalier Adoptions, Damned Conventions, and the Inertia of the Dispossessed
Tumblr media
1. A. C. (Eck) Robertson: “Sallie Gooden”
The story goes that the two Texans entered New York City in full fancy dress, 35-year-old Eck Robertson in a spangled cowboy outfit, and his 75-year-old partner Henry C. Gilliland in old Confederate Army togs, his own. They went straight to the Victor offices and insisted on cutting a record; whether because the talent manager thought he could sell it, or just to get the hicks out of the office, “Sallie Gooden” b/w “Arkansas Traveler” was the result. “Traveler” was the duet, “Gooden” a solo piece by Eck: and if it’s not exactly the first country record (studio professionals had been cutting Ozark reels and string-band minstrelsy for years), it’s the first made by genuine rural Southerners. Thirteen variations in three minutes: Robertson rarely recorded again, but he laid a pattern for all old-time to follow.
Tumblr media
2. Ory’s Sunshine Orchestra: “Society Blues”
Meanwhile, the first genuine Black New Orleans jazz records were recorded in the sleepy backwater then still becoming the cinematic boomtown of Los Angeles, California, to be sold out of a store also owned by the proprietor of the recording studio. Edward “Kid” Ory was a successful Creole jazz trombonist whose band had included King Oliver and a young cornetist named Armstrong back in the Crescent City; he had decamped to the West Coast after Storyville’s closure in 1917, and the band he put together in the Golden State was, if not the toast of Rampart Street, respectable. Ory would wend to Chicago within the next few years, where he would fall in with old Orleanian friends, but that’s a story for another time. “Society Blues,” halfway between classy and kidding, is mellow as a porch conversation.
Tumblr media
3. Alberta Hunter: “Down Hearted Blues”
Another legendary figure of twentieth-century music bows onto the stage. Alberta Hunter, who was born and bred in Memphis but made her name in Chicago, is of the generation of performers who, like her fellow Southern-born, Northern-famed peers Ethel Waters and Florence Mills, fell halfway between the stools of cabaret and the blues, and was nearly forgotten by a history that prized the blues over cabaret and (which would come to mean the same thing) men over women. She had already toured Europe to great acclaim by the time she settled down to a Harlem club gig and cut this immortal blues, co-written with pianist (and possibly sometime lover) Lovie Austin. The following year, the century’s most famous blues shouter would notch it as her first smash record, but Hunter’s sly, sashaying take emphasizes its essential theatricality.
Tumblr media
4. Marion Harris: “I’m Just Wild about Harry”
The biggest hit from Shuffle Along, the all-Black musical which took New York by storm in 1921 and kickstarted a decade of Black excellence, “I’m Just Wild about Harry” took a year to get onto record. Partly the delay served to deracinate the tune, to transform it from an unembarrassed declaration of Black love (it was originally written as a waltz, in an even more overt challenge to racial norms) to a raggy burst of pep that anyone, in these dance-band days, could turkey-trot or whistle: F. Scott Fitzgerald coined “the Jazz Age” in 1922, the perfect descriptor of such cavalier white adoption of Black forms. Marion Harris had always sung Black, sometimes exaggeratedly so, but only the broad syncopation and extra pep of the last few choruses gestures in that direction here; she simply sounds American.
Tumblr media
5. Ed Gallagher and Al Shean: “Oh! Mister Gallagher and Mister Shean”
The background hum to popular culture in the 1920s—as it had been since the 1880s—was vaudeville, the stage circuit mechanism by which the entire country absorbed roughly the same songs, dances, slapstick, patter, and acrobatics as the big cities, though delayed. Ephemeral by design, but calcified enough that the right act could get forty years out of the same routine, the ethos of vaudeville was desperation; you never knew what would work, so you played as broad as possible. Gallagher and Shean, an Irishman and a German Jew respectively, reportedly loathed each other, but their shared song, as tightly structured as a sonnet, was bigger than either of them: they could and did swap out verses every time, which makes this double-sided record’s domestic-abuse and skin-color jokes revealing as an indication of what sold.
Tumblr media
6. Jack Buchanan: “And Her Mother Came Too”
While the Broadway theatrical songwriting machine was entering its second decade of eminence, its West End equivalent was rather more sedate. The young British songwriter who posed the greatest challenge to the imported Berlins, Kerns, and Gershwins was Welshman Ivor Novello. “Keep the Home Fires Burning” had been a wartime favorite, but it was in the 1920s that his songwriting really bloomed. This entry, on the surface a mere one-note mother-in-law joke in age-old music-hall tradition, has a more nuanced harmonic structure than strictly necessary, and especially given eternal Drones Club habitué Jack Buchanan’s urbane, ever so slightly camp delivery, the joke destabilizes, becoming less about a too-enthusiastic chaperone and more like a Wodehousian parody of Vincent O’Sullivan’s classic 1912 Decadent novella The Good Girl, about a simpleton increasingly entangled by a family of moral vampires.
Tumblr media
7. Sara Martin: “Tain’t Nobody's Bus’ness if I Do”
On the right hand side of the label is printed the legend “Contralto Solo / Piano Accomp. by T. Waller.” And so another of the giants of early jazz piano bobs to the surface here, accompanying Miss Sara Martin, one of the half-dozen or so essential blues-not-blues singers of the decade, on a song that will become an urban blues standard, evolving in many directions over the course of the century. But here, in its original ragtime-blues form, written by African-American songwriter Porter Grainger and Mamie Smith sideman Everett Robbins, “Nobody’s Business” is a perfect marriage of defiant, antisocial (because society is dangerous) blues tradition and Tin Pan Alley hokum, setting the template for the theatrical blues tradition of the 1930s and 40s which songwriters like Harold Arlen or Hoagy Carmichael would turn into vernacular American pop.
Tumblr media
8. Lucille Hegamin and her Blue Flame Syncopaters: “Aggravatin’ Papa (Don’t You Try to Two-Time Me)”
In fact, some white songwriters were there already. Composer J. Russel Robinson, a Hoosier, was a ragtime pianist who had supplied W. C. Handy’s publishing company, and lyricist Roy Turk was a New York native whose slangy, sentimental songs helped to define the Jazz Age. Three years earlier, “Aggravatin’ Papa” might have been a Coon song—the Southern setting, the stereotypically trifling man, the understated threats of violence could all have been delivered by a blackface singer for laughs—but instead Black singers and players adopted it and turned  it into a blues standard, starting with Lucille Hegamin. Her delivery, using the blues trick of repeating the end of a line where a solo would otherwise go, is cheerful, almost delighted to tear into the juicy threats she’s making, while her Syncopaters swoon woozily around her.
Tumblr media
9. Trixie Smith and the Jazz Masters: “My Man Rocks Me (With One Steady Roll)”
The confluence of the words “rock” and “roll” in such a way that makes it obvious they were already conjoined in a familiar phrase decades before they got pinned to a backbeat is perhaps the least noteworthy thing about this record. Trixie Smith was a genuine Southern Black singer, born and raised in Georgia, but not a gutbucket blues singer: her upbringing had been genteel, and her singing, as here, tended toward the light and winsome. Nevertheless, “My Man Rocks Me” is among the first great single-entendre blues records, so hot (though entirely by implication) that a parental warning logo would have had to be slapped on it in the CD era. Written by Chicago-based songwriter and publisher J. Berni Barbour, it’s performed here at such a languorous drag, with a deep-stroking trombone, that it’s practically tantric.
Tumblr media
10. Eva Tanguay: “I Don’t Care”
In 1922 she was forty-four and long past her wasp-waisted prime; but back when she was the chaotic, hair-flowing, man-eating, lung-bursting Quebecois-born sensation of the Naughty Oughts, she hadn’t bothered to step before a recording horn, and so this is all we have of her: her signature song, some fifteen years late. But if this is a shadow of her former self, what must she have been like in her strength? Her voice is blown out, her tempos all scattered as the studio musicians attempt to keep up with her lurches from faux-maudlin verses to the roaring, flippant chorus, still as strong a fuck-you to the propriety, daintiness, and demureness of the ideal woman as it ever was. If the fuck-you sounds rather more ghostly today, it isn’t because women are expected to care any less.
Tumblr media
11. Georgel: “La garçonne”
But the “I-Don’t-Care Girl” had been a model for a whole generation of women now reaching adulthood who disdained the voluminous skirts and hairstyles of their mothers. The flapper, as she was known in English, had her equivalent in every nation: but when Victor Margueritte’s sensationalistic lesbian 1922 French novel La garçonne was bowdlerized into English the same year, it was called The Bachelor Girl. The topical song of the same name by Vincent Scotto (lyrics by a pair of hacks) sneers at women who bob their hair, dress in mannish attire, and choose not to flirt with men, predicting a lonely, cruel dotage for any woman who doesn’t embrace motherhood. Georgel’s rendition was a hit, but the last verse was often omitted, and the androgynous garçonne’s sleek, stylish, and damn-the-conventions poise became a decade’s aspiration.
Tumblr media
12. Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra: “I’ll Build a Stairway to Paradise”
Having come into a minor fortune on the unexpected success of “Swanee,” the young, prolific, and ambitious composer George Gershwin soon found himself writing music for George White’s Scandals, meant as stiff competition for Ziegfeld’s Follies. The first (and perhaps only) immortal song from that series of revues, “Stairway to Paradise” was the young man’s first compositional triumph, a winding musical ascent to match the twin curved staircases in the stage show, with blues harmonics to accentuate its modernity and jazz it away from typical revue politesse. The orchestra pit for the number was directed by celebrity conductor Paul Whiteman, and his later recording with his Orchestra, leaving out the less-impressive lyrics, is one of the great dance-band records of the era, sweetly winging Gershwin’s hypermelodic expression of that rarest of emotions in pop music—joy.
Tumblr media
13. Conchita Piquer: “El florero”
Among the many sensations which took place seemingly nightly on New York stages in the early 1920s, the debut of a sixteen-year-old Valencian soubrette in drag as a flower-selling boy in El gato montés (The Wild Cat), a successful Spanish operetta undergoing a respectable Broadway run, has largely been forgotten in English-language circles. But the tale goes that a representative from Columbia rushed backstage during the intermission to sign her to a two-year recording contract, only to discover that not only didn’t she speak English, she had only a vague grasp of Castilian. Thirty years later Concha Piquer would be the grand dame of Spanish copla, a long-reigning movie star and one of the most recognizable Spanish-language singers in the world; Broadway’s ability to generate stars without even noticing was at its peak in the 1920s.
Tumblr media
14. Baiano: “Eu só quero é beliscá”
In February of 1922, the Teatro Municipal of São Paulo hosted a week of art exhibitions, lectures, concerts, and poetry readings called the Semana de Arte Moderna: it was ground zero for Brazilian modernism, an explosive, controversial, and thoroughly regional rejection of European norms in favor of miscegenated, tropical Brasilidade. But the middle-class intellectuals and artists promoted by the Semana were conflicted about the street-level sambas and batuques with which the urban masses—not to mention hustling commercial songwriters—expressed themselves, just as Anglo modernists were ambivalent or worse towards jazz. This cateretê (tr. “I Just Want a Pinch”) by Eduardo Souto, with its dense paulista slang, faux-tribal rhythms, and anti-authoritarian stance (the song’s satirical object is cops shaking down street vendors) was just as modernist as Oswald de Andrade’s poems or Tarsila do Amaral’s paintings.
Tumblr media
15. Alcides Briceño y Jorge Añez: “La soldadera”
Belisario de Jesús García was a soldier in the Mexican Revolution who fought on the side of the Carrancista revolutionaries who murdered Emiliano Zapata; the same year, he published his first song, “La soldadera.” The word literally means “the woman who receives payment for taking care of a soldier,” and could refer to a wife or domestic or (more likely) camp follower, but in the Mexican Revolution it was applied to the hundreds and thousands of women who took up arms in the cause, whether perforce or otherwise. This version of García’s imitation corrido was recorded in New York by a Panamanian-Colombian duo who would sing anything in Spanish regardless of nationality, with studio hacks on instrumentation; despite which, it’s been wisely adopted by Mexico as one of the great early records of Mexican vernacular pop.
Tumblr media
16. Carlos Gardel: “El tango de la muerte”
Not the “Tango de la muerte” written by the little-known Horacio Mackintosh in 1917, which is an instrumental; this tango was written (music and lyrics) by Alberto Navión, a French-born, Uruguay-raised composer for the Argentine theater whose work was often uneven; the sainete which introduced this song has been dismissed as mediocre, but Gardel getting his pipes on any song elevates it. And in fact, a song of typically Latin despair which may have been risible or banal in the theater is transformed into a throbbing report from the depths of depression on record. Bounded by the strict strums of guitarists Guillermo Barbieri and José Ricardo, Gardel’s voice moors in self-pitying baritone melancholy, and flutters up to keening tenor remorse. He wants to die, and only the milonga (criollo dancehall, birthplace of tango) keeps him alive.
Tumblr media
17. La Niña de los Peines: “Tango de la tontona”
It is a great piece of foolishness that she has not appeared here before: her first record was cut in 1905, when she was fifteen. But in 1922, the distinguished Spanish composer Manuel de Falla and a young, scarcely-known poet named García Lorca organized the first Concurso de Cante Jondo, or Deep Song Contest, in Granada, the Andalusian city which could reasonably claim to be among the birthplaces of flamenco. Pastora Pavón, already at thirty-two the greatest cantaora of all time, was the only woman on the judging panel. This song (set to the relatively new “tango” palo) addressing a foolish, heartbreaking girl was an early favorite of her repertoire, and one of a series of records she cut in 1922, accompanied by guitarist Luis Molina. It only hints at the astonishing depths of her voice.
Tumblr media
18. El Tenazas de Morón: “Yo he andaito la Francia (Seguiriyas de Silverio)”
But the great revelation of the Granada Concurso was Diego Bermúdez of the Sevillian town Morón de la Frontera, a septuagenarian who had retired from flamenco singing in the nineteenth century after having been stabbed: flamenco was once a disreputable, dangerous field. His archaic style was received rapturously by the musicologists and mystic nationalists in the audience, who considered it a direct link to the authentic Roma origins of flamenco song as represented by the legendary prototypical cantaor Silverio Franconetti, and as opposed to modern syncretic theatricalized flamenco, sullied by commercialism and mass media. On being (re)discovered, Bermúdez (nicknamed Tenazas, or Tongs) recorded several platters of quavering, ancient flamenco, a set which Falla would carry with him into exile. But his moment in the sun was short-lived; the following year, El Tenazas was laid to rest.
Tumblr media
19. Naftule Brandwein: “Kallarash”
We have heard him before on records credited to other bandleaders, particularly Abe Schwartz, but this is the moment where the foremost klezmer clarinetist of the era before anyone called the music klezmer struck out on his own. Born into a family of Hasidic musicians in what was then called Polish Galicia (present-day Ukraine) and having emigrated to the US in 1908 at nineteen, Brandwein was a showman, even a showboat, who would sometimes perform with a self-promoting neon sign around his neck, or play with his back to the audience so as not to give away his proprietary fingering techniques. “Kallarash,” subtitled “A Bridal Dedication,” is a slow-then-fast dance memorializing a town in Romanian Bessarabia. It’s a perfect showcase for his overtly emotional, flashily sentimental style, a virtuosic display for a Hendrix of the clarinet.
Tumblr media
20. A. Z. Idelsohn und Männerchor: “Hava Nagila”
Abraham Zvi Idelsohn, born in present-day Latvia, worked as a cantor in Europe and South Africa before emigrating to Palestine in the years of the Second Aliyah, when European Jews fled pogroms in the Russian Empire in the hope of establishing a Zionist state in Palestine. Idelsohn’s musical training led him to take an interest in the Jewish music of Palestine, and his ethnomusicological work is some of the most comprehensive in the field. In setting his own words to an old melody traced to the diaspora in the Ukraine, he is considered the author of “Hava Nagila,” and when the German label Polydor, then making one of the first music-industry attempts to comprehensively document folkloric music, invited him to record some of his collection, he conducted a choir in one of the era’s folk-art hybrids.
Tumblr media
21. Fisk University Jubilee Singers: “I Ain’t Goin’ to Study War No More”
The ancient Jewish poetic image, given in the prophet Isaiah, of reshaping implements of warfare into implements of agriculture is one of the most powerful in all religion: and one of its most beautiful expressions was the work of anonymous (to us, if not to Heaven) men and women enslaved in the southern United States, probably less than two hundred years ago. As with most art made by Black Americans, there are double and treble meanings to “Down by the Riverside”— the Ohio was perhaps more salient than the Jordan, whether the one in Israel or the one in Bunyan, and ending the study of war doesn’t necessarily mean forgoing violent struggle anymore than the end of school is the end of work. Even the pious, unhurried reading given by four Fisk men here contains multitudes.
Tumblr media
22. Feodor Chaliapin: “Ey, ukhnem!”
First attested by Russian composer and folk song-collector Mily Balakirev in 1866, the title of this work chant could be transliterated “Hey, Heave To!” but became known in English as “The Song of the Volga Boatmen,” thanks to the widespread popularity of Russian basso Feodor Chaliapin, who toured constantly in Europe and the Americas starting in 1901. It became his signature song in solo concerts, as his rich voice raised in the cry of the vodoliv, or leader of a gang of burlaks (dispossessed peasants with nothing but muscle and the collective force of their own inertia to sell) who were hired to tow barges down the Volga, from Moscow to the Caspian Sea, in the ages before ships could run under their own power. That Russian solution of throwing raw population at a problem would recur.

Best Weight Loss Pills
What are the simplest weight reduction pills? On the off chance that you just are overweight or corpulent, you have got unquestionably posed this inquiry commonly. Whatever our overabundance weight is often, we generally have to be thin. Furthermore, the simplest weight reduction pills are constantly hunted for after. We should think a bit about this insightful inquiry and try to answer it obsessed with what we expect about this weight reduction help we will not reject utilizing... We as a full realize the foremost effortless and most secure approach to hold on with a skinny and solid life is to: devour sound nourishments in an exceedingly fair eating routine system, exercise and remain truly dynamic, and obtain an adequate measure of rest a day. Indeed, weight reduction pills may offer an alternate way, it's going to not generally be the simplest course to require. On the off chance that we decide on an option to assume weight reduction pills, it's consistently essential to determine how they work. It should be in your wellbeing to acknowledge what you're embeddings in your body. Which are the best weight reduction pills - solution or normal? In the first place, weight reduction pills are isolated into two significant gatherings - endorsed or over-the-counter eating regimen pills. does one wish to realize which are ideal? All things considered, give some thought to the accompanying - remedy weight reduction pills are clinically verified to fill in as they guarantee. On the off chance that state Xenical cases to stand 25% of dietary fats from your dinners - those are clinically demonstrated outcomes. Also, endorsed by legitimate clinical associations that ensure medicate activity as per claims. Be that because it may, remedy weight reduction pills aren't the best - I'd state they're an extended way from it and usually due to symptoms and unnatural synthetic compounds applied. The equivalent Xenical gives you plenty of "extra advantages" like sleek spotting, slick stool, conceivable sickness, looseness of the bowels, and therefore the sky is that the limit from there. Simultaneously, solution weight reduction pills are fundamentally utilized if there should be an occasion of corpulence with potential perils to your wellbeing. Their belongings, symptoms are examined and known, and if there are not any other ways for you to induce in shape normally - presumably recommended drugs are the simplest weight reduction pills to select. Weight reduction supplements, or over-the-counter or regular weight reduction pills, aren't the simplest ones either, due to various reasons. For the foremost part since they do not back their cases. have you ever seen phenomenal or astonishing vows to help you with losing pounds on a daily basis or changeless weight reduction results? The issue is most producers don't bolster these cases with clinical investigations. you cannot know without a doubt within the event that you just get some genuine blend of fixings demonstrated to consume your fat or increment digestion, or it's simply fake treatment. Another purpose of concern is normal or homegrown fixings. Normal doesn't suggest safe. Consider this when picking weight reduction pills. Ephedra or mama Huang was the foremost well-known fat eliminator dynamic fixings and will be considered as the best weight reduction pills until FDA discovered them being very perilous to our sensory system and heart. some demise cases went before the ephedra boycott. So our recommendation in picking regular enhancements - the simplest weight reduction pills among over the counter are notable brands that everybody knows and diverse individuals use effectively.

Diabetes tipo 3c ¿un mal diagnóstico de tipo 2? ¿Qué es? ¿Qué incidencia tiene? Son estos interrogantes los que un grupo de investigadores ingleses ha respondido. Y es que, la pancreatitis está dando lugar a diagnósticos erróneos de tipo 2 en personas que realmente tienen diabetes tipo 3c , dicen los investigadores. Y eso es un problema importante.

«El 46forty six% de nuestros pacientes en la actualidad son extranjeros», asevera Ballesta, quien desde 1987 ha realizado junto a su equipo médico unas 40forty.000 cirugías por laparoscopia, 3three.000 de las cuales han sido por obesidad y diabetes (cirugía metabólica, en el argot médico). Por ahora, esta técnica solo se están aplicando en la sanidad privada, pero Ballesta cree que, con el tiempo, se incorporará a la sanidad pública. «Es cuestión de invertir en los medios necesarios y de entrenar equipos. Esta técnica necesita mucho entrenamiento». Lo dicecube un experto que ha formado a numerosos cirujanos españoles y extranjeros, que es 'DoctorPhysician Honoris Causa' por varias universidades del mundo y toda una eminencia mundial en la especialidad de cirugía digestiva. Gran cantidad de azúcar y acetona en sangre y orina: Es evidente que uno de los problemas que enfrentarás al tener una diabetes descontrolada y una subida de azúcar es una cantidad enorme de azúcar en la sangre y también en la orina. Examen con lámpara de hendidura: Con este examen se observan las estructuras de la parte frontal del ojo, entre las que se encuentra el párpado, el blanco de los ojos (esclerótica), el iris, el cristalino y la córnea. La lámpara de hendidura se utiliza con una fuente de luz de alta intensidad que puede enfocarse para que proyecte un rayo con forma de hendidura. Se utiliza con el biomicroscopio, un instrumento óptico que es como un microscopio con dos visores. El revestimiento del estómago es responsable de producir los ácidos estomacales y diferentes enzimas para la digestión.

La verdad-confiesa Goiz-es que no entendemos aún -cuando lo entendamos se acabarán todas las enfermedades- por qué se polariza en un instante todo un órgano hacia el lado positivo por exceso de iones, cayendo en un estado de acidez en su totalidad y eso, a su vez, condiciona -como consecuencia necesariamente lógica- la polarización de otro órgano en sentido opuesto, es decir, hacia la alcalinidad por déficit de hidrogeniones y presencia de radicales libres complejos con polaridad negativa. Aun cuando las consecuencias finales de ambos polos son las mismas, la degeneración de la materia, dicha degeneración es diferente en su manifestación. En el caso de los polos biomagnéticos con polaridad positiva la degeneración es de tipo retráctil cicatricial y en el segundo es de lisis y dispersión del tejido”. Los cromosomas son largas hebras de ácido desoxirribonucleico (ADN) que se mantienen unidas, conservan su forma y se organizan gracias a unas proteínas llamadas histonas.

Skin deep: Contance Wu’s beauty picks revealed
The 36-year-old actress likes to keep it simple but cherishes her skincare regimen

Constance Wu stars in what may be this summer’s guilty pleasure, the film adaptation of Crazy Rich Asians, which will be in theatres Aug. 15. She is also known for her role as Jessica Huang in the TV comedy series “Fresh Off the Boat.”
Off-screen, Wu, who is 36 and is from Richmond, Virginia, would love to channel Jennifer Lopez — in beauty choices, at least. Find out why she has “flighty” issues with her hair and why it is all about the J. Lo glow.

Skin Care
First thing: I chug a bunch of water, and then I usually do something pretty simple. You know those Neutrogena make-up wipes? I use either those or just water. I follow that with Drunk Elephant vitamin C serum. I shop at Sephora a lot because they’re really cool about letting you try things out. This was a recommended product there, so I gave it a go and loved it.
Then I use La Mer Moisturizing Soft Cream. The first time I heard about La Mer was in middle school, and I read that J. Lo used it. I didn’t always use it, but once I started making money, I was like, “I can actually afford to treat myself.” To me, skin care is a pleasure.
Depending on the day, I might use sunscreen. I used to use Neutrogena Ultra Sheer, but then I read that physical sunscreens are better than chemical ones, and I switched to one by La Roche-Posay.
I have a whole other routine at night. If I’ve had a shoot and I’m wearing make-up, I do different types of cleanser. I use SK-II oil cleanser — that takes the make-up off — and after that, I use the Clearasil face wash. Seriously. I’ve been using it since I was a teenager.
And I’m really into these Alpha Beta peels by Dr. Dennis Gross. If I want to be really glow-y the next day, I definitely use them.
I follow that with the Drunk Elephant serum, and sometimes I use a prescription retinoid called tretinoin. If I do the peel, though, I skip that. I won’t use both. I also like the Shiseido Glow Revival line a lot. I use the serum, the lotion and the eye cream.
If I have an event or something, I sometimes do a face mask before. There’s this brand called Naruko. I discovered it when I was filming Crazy Rich Asians. Face masks are relatively new in the US. In Asia, you can buy them — all kinds — at the local drugstore. I was at a drugstore in Singapore buying toothpaste, and they had a sampler pack of face masks with the Naruko ones I love so much.

Make-up
Make-up is a kind of mood ring. One day you can be really stripped down and natural, and on other days you want to do an orange lip. Usually I use the Clé de Peau concealer for my dark circles. And I always do some kind of blush. My blushes rotate depending on my mood and what I’m wearing. Sometimes I do a powder blush from Laura Mercier, and sometimes I do a HD cream blush from Make Up forever. But then today, for example, I’m wearing Benetint.
I do brown eyeliner on my top lash line. And I like lip colour that mimics my natural colour — it’s a pinky mauve. The one I’m using now is by Charlotte Tilbury. I do like having a lip liner sometimes, and I have one by Laura Mercier in Potpourri. I line just outside my top lip before filling it in. I take a lot of inspiration from J. Lo in that sense. She looks so great.
Mascara irritates my eyes. I get lash extensions now — it’s easier. I try to get really natural-looking ones that are thin and don’t really curl. I don’t want to look like those dolls that blink.

Fragrance
I don’t wear fragrance. Fragrance shopping is so overwhelming. I don’t even know how to begin.

Hair
My natural hair is a dark, dark brown, very shiny, very straight and very full. I have “so” much hair. I’ve gone through four different hair colours this year. It wasn’t because of any roles. It was because of my flighty personality.
I took the summer off from work. Because I knew I wasn’t going to be on camera for several months, I thought, “I’m going to just play around.” I was pink, then I was jet black, then I was blond, and now I’m kind of dark blond-light brown.
At first, I thought my hair was invincible — I could do anything to it. And after the first three colours, it was OK. By the time I got to my fourth colour, it seemed to quit. I don’t want to be this colour, and I’m trying to get it to a richer chocolate brown. Next week I’m actually going to Eddie at Mare to get it a little darker.
Normally I use the Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil shampoo and conditioner. But now it’s not enough. I use the Olaplex conditioner, and I have to do a deep conditioning mask.

Diet and Fitness
Since I turned 30, I’ve had to think about diets more. It’s not necessarily for weight reasons but because I got adult eczema. I don’t want to be on steroid creams, so I worked with a dermatologist on an elimination diet to see what foods triggered it. We found some very specific things, like pineapple, which I now have to avoid.
I’m not really into “fitness.” I’m into running because it’s relaxing for me and meditative. When I want to veg out, I go for a run. It calms me. I’ve run a couple marathons.
Other Services
I do gel pedicures once a month, and I try to do a facial at Dtox Day Spa once a month. Sometimes it becomes once every two months.

The big problem with those conservative calls for 'civility'
Tumblr media
Conservative doublespeak just got taken to a whole new level.
There are many reasons to balk at politicians' and commentators' calls for "civility" in response to Donald Trump officials getting kicked out of restaurants. Say, the hypocritical fact of Trump's own acerbic behavior, or the idea that "civility" is the least of our worries at a time when the U.S. government has separated migrant families at the border with no plans for reuniting them. 
SEE ALSO: Memo to 2018 from the 1960s: Forget 'civility.' Get angry. Don't stop.
Now, the people of Twitter have honed in on a particularly piercing rebuke of the civility balloon by invoking the idea that helped put Trump in office: that conservatives in fact ended "civility" themselves, by just calling it "political correctness," and labeling sensitivity about the language we use as a problem.
"What ever happened to civility?" "You labeled it 'political correctness' and decided it was something bad."
— Allen Marshall (@AllenCMarshall) June 29, 2018
This "civility" brouhaha all started when White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders oh-so-innocently tweeted that a restaurant denied her service. 
Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for @POTUS and I politely left. Her actions say far more about her than about me. I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so
— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) June 23, 2018
Sanders' statement came several days after protestors drove Department of Homeland Security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen out of a Mexican restaurant by yelling "shame" at her, after a press conference in which she defended her agency's family separations at the border. 
At another Mexican restaurant in D.C., one patron went up to Stephen Miller, who is the reported architect of many of Trump's immigration policies, and called him a fascist. Protesters have also staged rallies outside of Miller and Nielsen's homes.
Meanwhile, Rep. Maxine Waters supported the public confrontation of Trump officials at a rally in Los Angeles, and used the word "harass," which really got people hot and bothered.
"The people are going to turn on them, they're going to protest, they're going to absolutely harass them until they decide that they're going to tell the president 'no I can't hang with you, this is wrong," Waters said.
After Sanders' Red Hen incident, the protests, and Waters' comment, national conversation took a detour away from topics like, oh, the Supreme Court decision upholding the Muslim ban, and the separation of children from their parents at the border. Conservative politicians and several editorials decided that this was the moment to lament the lack of "civility" in America. 
In particular, a Washington Post editorial telling readers to "let the Trump team eat in peace" caused a firestorm on Twitter. Republican Jeb Hensarling opened a committee hearing with Waters decrying her comments as uncivil and not neighborly. And Republican political adviser David Gergen told CNN that today's protests are less "civil in tone" than the civil rights struggle of the 1960s and 1970s. 
Many other editorials and segments followed echoing the same need for "civility." And Marco Rubio got sassy about the use of the word "fuck" by a Capital Gazette reporter who survived the deadly shooting at her workplace.

Sign of our times... the F word is now routinely used in news stories, tweets etc It’s not even F*** anymore. Who made that decision???
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) June 29, 2018
Also, Trump made a lightly veiled violent threat. But anywho...
Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily low IQ person, has become, together with Nancy Pelosi, the Face of the Democrat Party. She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement. Be careful what you wish for Max!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 25, 2018
People have not taken kindly to the civility comments. Some have said that incivility is exactly the correct response to the Trump administration. And others have pointed to the hypocrisy of the statement given the president's own history of mocking women, minorities, people with disabilities, and anyone who opposes him.
But beyond pointing out hypocrisy, there is a very clear answer to the doe-eyed question of "gee, where did American civility go?" And it is at the heart of what got Trump elected: the Right's previous obsession with the damage that "political correctness" was inflicting on the country during the Obama years. 
The argument went like this: America has become so politically correct, catering to the whims of sensitive minorities, that it has infringed on Americans' right to say what we really think, and it has allowed for America to become overrun with (dark-skinned) migrants. There was a sense that if something offended people, that didn't mean what that thing said was actually incorrect — it just meant that it was offensive. 
So Trump rode into office as the candidate willing to tell it like it is, "crying liberals" be damned. His truth-telling about invasive immigrants would cut to the heart of America's real problems (not its fake problems, like racism), and thereby Make America Great Again. 
Trump has railed against political correctness 37 times on Twitter, frequently using it as the ending note and resounding message of his campaign appearances.
THANK YOU Grand Rapids, Michigan! Time to end political correctness & secure our homeland! https://t.co/cyRCfwxJg3 pic.twitter.com/PPrriLTFgA
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 22, 2015
Obama, and all others, have been so weak, and so politically correct, that terror groups are forming and getting stronger! Shame.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 22, 2016
Our country has become so politically correct that it has lost all sense of direction or purpose. We are unable to move forward painlessly.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 21, 2014
I have just ordered Homeland Security to step up our already Extreme Vetting Program. Being politically correct is fine, but not for this!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 1, 2017
Trump and his supporters objected to politically correct speech because the fear of being called a racist made America less secure. So every penis joke, "lock her up" chant, Mexican rapist comment, and disabled reporter impression just strengthened him. 
Where did "civility in America" go? Down the toilet with "politically correct" sensitivity about stereotyping, racism, and sexism. 
And this pic I will keep pulling up every day until this is over.... pic.twitter.com/A9XJOL6ryt

— Charles Gaba (@charles_gaba) June 29, 2018
Now, the people of Twitter aren't going to let conservatives have their cake and eat it, too. Many have pointed out that "civility" is just a re-branding of "political correctness," something that conservatives previously pinpointed as the source of America's ills. 
If conservatives were so concerned about preserving their ability to use slurs and "tell the truth" even if it offended people, why are they opposed to liberals using the sharpest arrows that speech allows to protest conservative policy, in the face of those enacting that policy?
The see-sawing between “we need more civility” and “we need less political correctness” is really something to behold.
— Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) July 1, 2018
Regarding the right whining about a lack of civility in public discourse after years of also whining about Political Correctness: I once set someone off in a bar by telling him 80% of what he derided as Political Correctness was simply being polite. So fuck your feelings dude.
— jackwilliambell (@jackwilliambell) July 1, 2018
We need civility but NOT political correctness
— Demo (@__demosthenes) July 1, 2018
What exactly is the difference between "civility" and "political correctness" and how does one rationalize loving one and hating the other?
— nate bowling (@nate_bowling) June 25, 2018
I remember when civility was called political correctness, and it was bad.
— Jake Maccoby (@jdmaccoby) June 30, 2018
If Republicans want civility, they can start by rejecting Trumpism whose very foundation is built upon incivility & anti-political correctness.
— William LeGate (@williamlegate) June 25, 2018
It can feel like a maddening exercise in futility to point out every Trumpian hypocrisy or blame-shift. But in this instance, dissecting the language used to paper over real issues is crucial.
Let's remember: Sarah Huckabee Sanders' Red Hen incident tweet distracted from the media shitstorm that the family separation policy had caused. Now, by interrogating the narrative of civility, we are actually able to bring the conversation back to the issue of immigration at hand. That's because Trump invoked arguments against political correctness to lay the groundwork for the inhumane immigration policy that it is now enacting. 
Recently, the New York Times reported on the Right's newfound embrace of the First Amendment to push forward an ultra-conservative agenda. From this report, and from how civility and political correctness have been summoned as a distraction from landmark Supreme Court decisions and family separation, it's clear that the battle over freedom of speech has consequences beyond language. 
Let's make sure those who seek to lock up immigrants, enable unlimited campaign spending, or abolish abortion, don't have the last word.
WATCH: Trump loved Mexico and left, then came back to the U.S. and forgot all about it

Everybody wants glowing skin, but if you’ve ever walked into a Sephora and taken one glance at the skincare section, you know very well that beauty often comes with a hefty price tag. So what do you do when you want that celebrity fresh-faced look without the $4,000 price tag of Kim Kardashian’s skin care routine?
You look in your fridge.
There are plenty of household items and even everyday cooking ingredients that can amp up your beauty routine. Below are just a few of my favorites to help you get that J-Lo glow.
ZIT-ZAPPING
The bacteria found in yogurt isn’t only good for your gut, it’s been proven to help with many chronic skin conditions, including acne. Grab your whole milk yogurt from the fridge and place a small amount (about 2 tablespoons) in a bowl. Add 3-5 drops of lavender oil or any essential oil you like and mix. If you’re really feeling fancy, you can add a small amount of lavender flowers for an exfoliating component. Leave on your skin for 30 minutes and you’ll immediately look fresh.
HYDRATING
Add equal parts banana and papaya and a splash of aloe water in a bowl and start mashing. Papaya is rich in vitamin A and vitamin C, which means it’s great for healing dry, flaky skin and boosting collagen production. Leave on your skin for 20 minutes for a mask that both hydrates and tastes good.
BRIGHTENING
Mix one egg white with 1teaspoon of orange or grapefruit juice and teaspoon of turmeric powder and leave on your face for no more than 15 minutes. Curcumin, a chemical found in turmeric, is a natural anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal. The component makes this turmeric mask a great brightening tool. Just make sure you reserve this mask for people with tanner complexions because of the goldenrod-colored glow the masks leaves.
