I try not to read these so that I have a fresh perspective when I beta, but it was the first thing on my dash and Chris was pulling Zach’s pants off and I couldn’t resist–all of this is incredibly hot.

Oh, I didn’t know you did that. Well, I think by the time the chapter is done you probably have enough distance from these out of context snippets to be safe, but I appreciate your dedication. And so glad you thought it was hot 😀
Did you enjoy the picspiration?

I saw your picspiration post and scrolled through, thinking, yes this is good, where can I sign up, then I got to the end and saw it was for your story and got really excited about the next chapter.

As for my beta–I have this problem where if I read something once, I feel like I already know what it says
when I see it again, so I get kind of lazy at that part, even if it’s been changed since.

Ah, I see.  That’s basically why I can’t see even glaring errors in my own writing.  I know what it’s supposed to say, and just fill it in.

Glad you liked the pics.  I had to split the mood board into two parts because I couldn’t chooooose!

Six(ish) Sentence Sunday

From Cleaving 7 (and ICYMI, here’s a NSFW mood board for the first half of the chapter):

“Come on, baby.  Let me,” Chris said, tugging at Zach’s jeans and briefs, rotating him toward the edge of the bed, pushing him to sit — which was a very good idea considering where this was heading and the fact that Zach couldn’t feel his knees.  “Then you can take as long as you want with me.  Until you’re ready again.”

Falling back on his hands, Zach didn’t even try to do more than nod as Chris knelt to remove Zach’s clothing and toss it aside.  He dragged fingertips up the inside of Zach’s calves, applying  gentle pressure when reached the knees, encouraging Zach to spread them and let Chris kneel closer.

Really, who was he to argue when Chris seemed to have his heart so
set on making him come before his own pants were even off?  Sensing his
victory, Chris slowly pushed Zach’s knees apart and licked a stripe up
his cock.  Zach groaned and collapsed back onto his elbows, resisting
the pull of gravity just enough to be able to continue watching Chris as
he met Zach’s eyes and took his cock in his mouth.

The Jewish people angry at you aren’t “concern trolls”. They’re upset that you only want to listen to the Jewish people who agree with your insistence on using the Holocaust as a prop. You’ve hidden in an echo chamber of your own opinion. :/

I don’t want to spend the rest of my Saturday on this, but this is important to me, and I hope to get past “Someone is wrong on the Internet”.

Talking about one of the worst genocides in the history of our species, which happened less than a century ago, isn’t using it as a prop. RIght now, at this moment, when someone who embraces the exact sort of nationalism, xenophobia, bigotry, and appeals to fear and hatred as the man who lead the Holocaust is dangerously close to power – and not just him, but the people who feel empowered, emboldened, and welcomed into the mainstream of society by him – we have a moral duty to talk about it. Because if we are to ensure that it never happens again, we have to shine the brightest and clearest light possible onto the anyone who would even consider allowing it.

We all know that Donald Trump isn’t going to put people into camps and murder them, and I understand that for someone who feels strongly about the horrors of the Holocaust, bringing up Hitler’s rise and what he did to millions of people can seem like I’m trivializing that, or as you say, “using it as a prop.” 

It’s impossible to talk about Hitler and the Nazis without people thinking about the Holocaust. As far as I can recall, I’ve never said “Trump is going to unleash another Holocaust.” What I have said, and what I will continue to say, is that he is a fascist who has no respect for the press, the Constitution, the marginalized and the vulnerable in our society. He began his political life by spreading his ludicrous Birther conspiracy, and he began his campaign this year by attacking immigrants, specifically Mexicans. He’s attacked Muslims, African Americans, and women. He’s incited violence against anyone who disagrees with him. He’s embraced and refused to disavow very loud and very public support from neo-Nazis, members of the KKK, and other white nationalists. He put the editor of Breitbart in charge of his campaign. 

And I could go on and on like this, but my point is: he is doing many of the same things that Hitler did in the 1930s during his rise to power. Don’t take my word for it, listen to people who lived through WWII (including Holocaust survivors) and they’ll tell you that they haven’t seen or heard anyone in American politics who reminds them of Hitler until Trump, not even Goldwater or Wallace. The fact that Donald Trump is this close to the presidency should be appalling, sickening, and terrifying to all good and decent people, and we should all be working as hard as we can to stop him, and defeat him and his ideas in a landslide that unambiguously repudiates him and everything he stands for.

So I’m not going to stop talking about Donald Trump’s embrace of neo-Nazis, or how things he does echo things Adolf Hitler did, because I don’t want someone like that to have the amount of power that the American president has. I don’t want the people who follow and support men like them to be close to power, and I’m not going to be silenced by someone on the Internet who has decided what I can and can’t talk about, when I’m deeply afraid and upset by what’s happening in my country.

In any other election at any other time, the hyperbole of “X is Hitler” would be a wrong thing.

This is not that time.

This is the exception.

Trump is literally like Hitler.

Saying so is not wrong; it is the most appropriate thing in this drastic scenario we’re forced to live in.

Hitler in the early 30′s was a charismatic leader who appealed to a population that felt it had been wronged and was losing power, and promised to make them great again.  His disdain for freedom of the press, freedom of speech, and human rights were part of his campaign (sound familiar?).

And though he was elected as Chancellor in January of 1933, by March he was Dictator.  He disbanded freedom of the press and speech, created laws targeting specific populations.  Trump has already said that if he’s elected, certain press outlets (basically anyone who pisses him off) will “be gone”.  This is not how the president of a democracy, even a flawed one, should think.

People aren’t comparing Hitler’s end-game with Trump’s endgame.  They are comparing their campaigns, how they did or are trying to rise to power, and the similarities are eerie.

I don’t think Trump plans on death camps, though the specter of internment camps ala the US in the 40s has been raised.  I frankly don’t think he’s as smart as Hitler.  But the fact that this campaign approach is working AGAIN despite devastating results last time is SHOCKING, and if we don’t recognize the similarities, shame on us.

Like Utah Phillips always said, the past didn’t go anywhere:  “I always thought that anybody who told me I couldn’t live in the past
was trying to get me to forget something — that if I remembered it — it
would get them serious trouble.”
