1/15/25 WIP Wednesday (CLOSED) | Pretty Boy
“I should…have been more clear when we talked about this earlier and agreed to talking during this. I liked all of the talk about how I felt, what you were going to do, what you wanted to do, and what you were going to do. I…don’t want you to degrade me when we’re together like that.” He watches as Neil wraps his arms around his middle as if to try and comfort himself.
Andrew feels like Neil has just said something in a completely new foreign language.
“Neil, what did I say that you took as me degrading you?” Andrew asks because he can’t think of a single degrading comment he’s made when they got started.

Again, I had to illustrate part of the newest chapter of "The line is covered in jellyfish" by @yunuen : click for better quality as always!
Deadlifted 405. 3 reps 8 sets.
No idea if nora did it on purpose or not, but the coach jackie's surname from the sunshine court, lisinski, has the word fox in it in polish.
Lis, the first part of the surname, means literally fox.
I've just read sunshine court and it stuck out to me immediately, because if this was a coincidance then it's crazy how nora nailed it right on the spot.
If it wasn't, which i belive was the case, then my heart warms in the research nora put into naming the characters.
Also i have no idea if this was pointed out already. Maybe some other polish/slavic person saw it before me
hello hello! tomorrow is wednesday. i will be posting an update to one of my wips. which one would you like to see?
road trip to new rome: 1 2
royalty au: 1 2

Wish that was me😭

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse. It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms
As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable. As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.
Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.
⁂
Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.
www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.
www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.
https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.
www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.
http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.
www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.
www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.
www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free
