[picture of a pretty, airy bedroom in a high rise floor. on the right, there is an ENORMOUS bed with blue and white striped bedding. there is a big window that overlooks a city, and against it, an uncomfortable looking chair. next to the bed, there is a thriving monstera plant on a bedside table, and pendant lights hang on the walls and overhead. the curtains on the window are gauzy white material, and the top left pane of the window is open. the impression is of a bedroom that is lovely and restful.]

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Leah 🐸 McElrath @leahmcelrath.bsky.social · 13d

⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.

The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.

Day 9: Reading. Taking a quick detour to work on some bookmarks for Illo Mart next month! If I ever stop accidentally reading until the sun rises, I won't know who I am anymore.
#doggust #doggust2025

Two bookmarks:
A yellow lab smiling with a 'no thoughts' expression, with an open book on a desk. The background is red-orange, the desk in blue, and there are some pale yellow action lines above the dog. Black serif text below says: "I can't stop reading! HELP!!"

A black and brown rough collie napping with their long nose in an open book on a brown desk. The bg is light blue. Black text below reads: "ZZZ Just resting my eyes..."

When Rey's shitty landlord pulls the rug out from under her, she has only two weeks to find a new place to live.
Luckily, her best friend, Kaydel, has a solution: take her older brother's spare room until she gets back on her feet.
It's a shame Kay didn't ask her brother, Ben, first, but they'll all survive without any permanent damage to their social group's ecosystem! Probably!]

update beginning at Chapter 23

Such Devotion
AnonPenguin

Summary:

** FIC NOW COMPLETE **

Seven years after Rey was persuaded by her friends and family to reject him, Alpha Ben Solo, returns to Jakkson to challenge the leader of their pack. Devastated by the prospect of being reunited with a man she's never gotten over, it becomes even more unbearable when he takes his place as their new leader.

With a powerful new Alpha wolf in charge, the pack families put forth the names of their Omegas in order to find him a suitable mate.

No longer deemed eligible, Rey is forced to chaperone any potential courting rituals, placing her in direct contact with her former lover. A former lover who's eager to make his great success and plans to find a mate well known to the woman who broke his heart long ago.

OR

it's a Wolf/Omegaverse/Persuasion-inspired AU, y'all

I’m a PASSIONATE fanfic commenter, but sometimes it slows me down because I feel like I need to leave long notes. But, as an author, I know even a short comment matters. So I made a guide to make it easier. Hopefully this helps someone else too! #fanfiction #fanfic #leaveacomment #harrypotterfanfic
