There is a part of Shane that when people ask him "why Rozanov?" wants to respond with "are you fucking blind?"

dry humping until he’s leaking through his boxers and you lick at it through the fabric while he holds your head against it

Shane is like do not buy me a fur coat Ilya is like I’ll kill myself if I don’t buy you a fur coat Shane is like don’t make jokes like that Ilya is like we will be 68 and gay marriage will come to Russia but they will not let me in because i never bought my western wife a fur coat Shane is like if you buy a fur coat you’ll be dead before we can get gay married in Russia and Ilya is like wow…only i can make jokes about my country being homophobic. So you hate Russian lives 😒 and Shane trying not to laugh is like I’m sorry i know it’s sensitive baby and Ilya tells him you can make it up to me by trying on the fur coat getting delivered during time estimate 10-1pm

this is from "research as a leisure activity" by celine nguyen, publs. on stubstack in 2024. it's a very good read

I met someone when I was pretty young who had received a generous inheritance -- not enough to live a life of luxury, but enough to live on comfortably without working. He had chosen to simply keep going to school his whole life. He did get degrees, but he didn't use them for anything other than pleasure -- he had a Ph.D but also two Master's degrees, three BAs, and was currently serving an apprenticeship in blacksmithing while considering trying out some trade schools next. I thought, if I had the money I'd do that too, and then thought about how I still could learn all the time, it would just have to be a hobby instead of the career he'd made of it. It definitely changed the way I saw both education and leisure.

devastating when good characters are put into a stupid show. you were born to fly but that evil hag of a showrunner clipped your golden wings. be free on ao3, my little dove. be free

one of the biggest tragedies of early 2010s tumblr is that the devil (bbc sherlock) took root as the face of johnlock when the guy ritchie films were RIGHT there
