It's actually just a secret autism test oops
A 2007 study provided evidence that individuals with Asperger syndrome, a high-functioning autism spectrum disorder, score higher than other individuals on Raven's tests.[12] Another 2007 study found that individuals with classic low-functioning autism score higher on Raven's tests than on Wechsler tests. In addition, individuals with classic autism provided correct answers to the Raven's test in less time than individuals without autism, although they erred as often as the latter.

Friday is a fantastic DM who provides a welcoming and inclusive table for new players, she explains the rules and is very patient with her players. She is fantastic at being able to create a great environment with interesting and well thought out NPCs. She is able to balance out combat and make it flow very well. She warns you right off the bat if something is super dangerous and what to expect for player agency above table! Such an immersive experience with music and great maps as well! We had a lot of laughs and I enjoy playing with her. 10/10 would recommend!

DRINK FROM ME AND NO OTHER is a sapphic vampire/paladin dark romantasy 📚💙
"Yes, my Lady. I'd never known a Lord to seek vengeance for a dead woman and child. It seemed like the work that needed to be done."

Rosalyn's words grabbed Vladisi by the proverbial shoulders and shook her out of her intellectual perch. If she were boasting, she might have led with the admirable comparisons to her life of service. The woman's devotion to the Church was borne of a desire for humble service, not a place to sit in a taller chair. How pleasantly naive and noble.

In the dreary, dim and  barren family estate Vladisi began to see the squire clearer than she had all night. Rosalyn was a square faced woman with impeccable cheeks and a lips pulled so ever slightly upward about something optimistic. Her hair wasn't particularly shined or oiled, she was a working woman after all. It even gave hints of the hasty upkeep of late, the sides a bit uneven in its trim. The damned woman probably cut it herself in the mirror.

The way she stood since the danger had appeared, it was tense and ready. Vigorously aware. Prepared for violence; yet she was able to keep such a casual way in address. It was as though Rosalyn wanted to serve her the peace of mind. She was so casual about all of this.

If I get to 2.5k followers I'll drop a sex scene preview from MOTHERS OF GUNS between Lina & Zuri. It's a flashback of their first time hooking up, which in Book 1 was a fade to black cut. It's also a Zuri POV. 📚💙🪐
Chapter 19 (Flashbacks)

 

316 UD. 5 years ago. Aboard The Galley docked at Zenith Trade Station.


It was Zuri's first time sucking a woman's cock, contrary to what she had just said. Honestly, she had only sucked a strap before. It had been awkward. Relaxing for an object wasn't thrilling. Zuri had encountered women out there who throated dildos for love of the game. She wasn't one of those lesbians. But this? Entirely different situation. It was like eating pussy, kinda.

Warm Machine is a sweet, engaging sci fi story about robots, bodily autonomy, identity, purpose, and even love. Aimee delivers a story that is especially strong in voice! The prose is especially charming. Sterling goes on is a wonderful naive robot archetype story that might at first glance fit into the YA genre but it also deals with mature themes. I might give this to my kid when they just start reading adult level novels. This book is a wonderful way to spend a couple nights reading if you enjoy transhumanism stories. Should you pick it up, I recommend you get the PDF version for additional formatting fun in how the story is presented.

DRINK FROM ME AND NO OTHER (draftin) 📚💙🪐
It happened fast. Both lanterns had been placed on the same table for the Baroness's sake, allowing her to see the pages clearly. When Vladisi began to scream, Rosalyn was deep in the examination and application of material in Dance & Song Of The Uvalla Province, a dusty tome near a century old. The diagrams in particular were fascinating. She was midway into a slip and turn, arms extended as though holding the hands of a partner.

Within Vladisi's wine-dark purple eyes Rosalyn saw a fright that shrieked much louder than her voice could. Her hair began to stand on end as a jolt ran up her spine just before she looked down to see a shadow passing over her left arm. Its cold embrace came in the shape of clawed fingers around her bicep, pinching the cloth of her tabard before its buckle-thick nails dug into her flesh.

There was no resisting the pull of the creature. Her body snapped as a bag would when picked up and slung over a shoulder, dragged from the familiarity of the ground and illumination provided by the dimming lanterns. Rosalyn sailed through the air like a rag doll, snatched up by the little girl who owned her. A ravenous smacking of its lips escaped the maw of a monster just out of sight, its shape inscrutable. The wet bog of its belly waited below, the stench of death hitting her in a wave of guttural heat. It was about to feast.

DRINK FROM ME AND NO OTHER
Her driver and servant had the good grace to ask to excuse himself, which Vladisi permitted with a flick of her hand that might as well have been for a fly. She lit a second lantern for Rosalyn and held it out. Their hands touched and everything stopped. Instead of jerking back from Vladisi as she might have guessed by her shyness earlier, she was shown a new side. Rosalyn was not at all unfamiliar with taking a heavy object from someone, so much that it was trivial to accept it with a pair of fingers. They wrapped around the ring and the weight of the thing floated away. Effortless.

It was now Vladisi's turn to be caught off guard. "T-thank you, Rosalyn." It was only a moment later that she withdrew her hand and caught her breath. "I'm afraid this might take quite the while."

Hi Friday,



A few months ago, I sent a Reedsy marketing newsletter essentially claiming that “if your book isn’t discussed on Reddit, ChatGPT won’t recommend it.”



The gist of it was this: Reddit was one of the most-cited domains in ChatGPT (and Google/Gemini) — which suggested that it was also one of the domains these AI models trusted the most when searching for information to answer our prompts.



Well, guess what? This apparently just changed.

The second POV in my goth-horror lesbian dark fantasy DRINK FROM ME AND NO OTHER is a rich woman 📚💙
Lady Vladisi Mhab stepped out of the carriage to the damp street at the corner of Wheel and Thrust, taking the hand of her man-at-arms Khalil for balance. Her snake scale slippered feet soaked to the bone in an instant; an ill omen to accompany the sickening duty of supervising visitors of the Church to her humble piece of the kingdom. Lightning zipped through the clouds above, a thrilling flash, before the night rumbled and swallowed its brilliance. The Chipped Shield was as fine as an inn as you might expect to find in a town near the Ailing Wood.

The sky wept. Adding insult to bloody damned injury was her man Phillipo in that silly hat taking his fool time getting off his ass with the umbrella. One would think he was wholly incapable of moving with any sense of purpose except to breakfast. She had overheard him talking to his favorite meal of the day more often than to his peers at the estate.

Vladisi ignored Phillipo as he called out, "I'm on my way!" and marched down the door of the inn. Its sign swung with a chill wind and rain poured from its triangular bottom. The bed of flowers beneath it was terribly over-watered. The gardener's salary would have been more useful as skipping rocks this year.

The inn hardly made much business sense for such a town that rarely had visitors, but she ordered it to be maintained for such occasions. The more travelers who stayed at the inn, the more coins would be spent in the other businesses as caravans came and went. To not have an inn was to invite people to move on as quickly as possible.

I'm Friday Strout and I approve of this message. You can expect more consensual rough sex in book 2.
Roy Adams rated it 4/5 stars
Good characters and great story, I look forward to reading more in the series. Black holes, pirates, mercenaries (guns) for hire and some romance too.
Content Warning:
There is consensual rough sex described several times. I recommend just skipping/skimming those sections if that isn't your cup of tea.

guys you're not gonna believe this but
A Minnesota judge has ruled that former NBA player Royce White abused his ex-wife and their teenage son, issuing a sweeping protective order that bars him from contacting them for decades.

According to The Minnesota Star-Tribune, the decision, handed down in Hennepin County, determined that White's behavior left his ex-wife and child "plainly in fear," leading to a 50-year no-contact order involving his ex-wife and a two-year restriction involving their son.

This excerpt is a visit to the Guns' berthing by Lieutenant Rochelle Alvarez, one of the new POV characters in book 2 of the Black Hole Guns series. 📚💙
Some of the Guns had noticed Rochelle and were whispering their warnings that an officer was present. Though there lay less separation between her and the enlisted folk in a Navy outfit, there was still a culture of deference aboard the ship here. Captain Bho wasn't particularly enthusiastic about enforcing any of the norms carried over from the UE military; Some parts of the culture were more habits and social mores than professional obligations. The AFA, from what she had seen, were less relaxed than they were, too.

Rochelle offered an apologetic smile. "Didn't mean to interrupt." 

One of the Guns replied, "No sir. We were just having a speed cube comp."

Rochelle laughed before she realized it was not a joke. The Rubik's Cube was right there, the most obvious thing in the galaxy. She had expected arm wrestling, submission grappling, boxing, or bodybuilding. Speed cubing? Perhaps the stereotypes were all wrong.

"Sounds fun." 

They stared at Rochelle with saucer eyes before gradually looking at one another. The Guns seemed to be coming to the same conclusion through cooperative brainstorming. One blurted out, "You should race Vega, sir!"
