Sir please thats my emotional support stack of books that i havent read
Just seeing the titles and covers and authors reminds you of the ideas inside.
Buying books (or Steam games, for that matter) is buying the possibility of reading in the future. You can always choose to do something else, but to be able to see what you could learn and experience right in front of you matters.
Also, books are pretty and easy to store.

I want to share some of the sexy stories and fantasies I have in my life with you all. I have no one to tell, so I hope you all do :*
I absolutely love getting woken up to fuck. Doesn’t matter what time, what day, if I’m exhausted, etc, etc…if I wake up to fingers in my pussy or a hard cock in my face, I am instantly wet. 1am, 2am, no matter what time. I LOVE the thought that Tod is horny, and he just can’t handle it and HAS to have me. Immediately.
Tod wakes me up by rubbing my ass hard, or I will feel him slip fingers into my pussy or rub the lips. Sometimes he will just start jerking off and his motion wakes me up…and I’m so turned on I have to stop him and at least suck him off. Usually he’ll whisper to me if I want to fuck him, or he’ll demand I get up to fuck him. The panties are off immediately, and I’m bent over the side of the bed letting him slip his hard cock into my already wet pussy and pound me until we cum. If fucking does make him cum, then he’ll let me suck him off, because I can’t stand it if he doesn’t get off and I do.
After we fuck and we’re both satisfied, it’s back to sleep. I love it!
Hope you liked reading this…there are plenty more to come.

2021 Reading List Update
2021 Reading List Update
Two things in my life are the biggest effects the pandemic has left on me: my relationships with exercise and reading. I have gone on at length about my struggles with exercising and getting my body moving again, but honestly my inability to do much reading bothers me more, because it’s more out of character. I’ve always hated exercise, so being extra uninterested in it isn’t that surprising. But…
“An hour on a painting, fifteen minutes cooking… there’s no time in a day. I’m up by seven, eight at the latest; I’m hardly washed and brushed up when midday is upon me. There is less time in the country than the city, Neil Tennant said last night. It surprised him at first.

How can you live in that bleak landscape? Asked the lady from the Folkestone Herald.
It’s much more interesting than Folkestone, I said.
A nuclear power station in your backyard?
Yes. But it’s yours as well. North Wales found itself the backyard of Chernobyl. At least I can see it.
I didn’t convince her.”
-Derek Jarman, Modern Nature
“That a revolutionary minority might succeed in its struggle was a lesson which Lehi derived from three models. The first was provided by Poland, where most of Lehi’sleaders had been born, and which also possessed its own tradition of messianism and failed revolts. The second model, similarly favoured by all Revisionists, was Italy. Lehi’s specifications found a suitable match in the slogans of ‘Young Italy’ [..]. Finally, there was the model provided by the revolutionary socialists of Russia, starting with the Narodniks and ending with the Bolsheviks. [..]
[..] The Zionist movement, on the other hand, [had] transformed the liberation of the homeland into a topic for debate and for elections. Emphasising that fact, [Israel] Eldad rejected Zionist democracy and therefore democracy in general. [..] Reiterating the words of the maximalists of 1932, he stressed right of the minority, representing ‘the most vital force of the nation’, to take decisions without consulting the majority. The minority expressed ‘the best of the yearnings of the nation throughout the centuries’, its messianic aspirations. Lehi was a numerical minority, but it was not a minority in the context of ‘psychological, biological and cultural values’.”
—The Stern Gang, Joseph Heller
It is not the opinions of the majority that determine this destiny of life for our people. They, majorities, can only get nearer or farther away from it according to their state of consciousness and virtue or that of unconsciousness and decadence. Our people have not survived through the millions of slaves who put their necks under the foreigner’s yoke, but through Horia, Avram Iancu, Tudor, Iancu Jianu, through all the haiduci, who, faced by the alien yoke, did not submit, but put their muzzle-loaders on their backs heading up the mountain paths carrying with them honor and the spark of freedom. It was through them our people spoke, not through cowardly and well-behaved “majorities.”

Read an interesting article on the NRM website that tried to distinguish ‘fascism’ from ‘National Socialism’, which is not actually an uncommon or totally unfounded distinction. The argument was that fascism as practiced in Italy combined realpolitik, corporatism, and (authoritarian) nationalism, and that while National Socialism has all of these qualities, it is also racist, antisemitic, and fundamentally anti-Christian. I’d point out that plenty of revolutionary ultra-nationalist movements in interwar Europe did not fit either of these paradigms (Hungarism, Legionarism, Lapua) and thus perhaps they all ought to fall under the larger umbrella of generic fascism based on that core of totalizing ethnic rebirth.
The NRM’s distinctions are remarkably similar to those drawn by feuding Nazis and Fascists in the mid 1930s – Fascists accused Nazism of being pagan, racist and barbaric, Nazis accused Fascism of being reactionary and capitalistic. (Granted, the NRM is not trying to slander fascism as its predecessors were, just to delineate its ideology from that of other far-right phenomena.) It is also, I suppose, true that the rare modern movements which self-identify as fascist (CPI, NBP) tend to also renounce racism. Patriot Front, of course, breaks the rule – they have a Roman fasces on their flag and have self-identified before as fascists, but they more significantly identify as National Socialists and are definitely biologically racist (and visited the NRM on their tour of Europe).
Mosley, always ahead of his time in fascist discourse, probably has the most coherent answer here:
4. Why is the Movement called Fascist?
Fascism is the name by which the modern Movement has come to be known in the world. [..] The alternative name for the modern Movement is the National Socialism used in Germany. [..] National Socialism and Fascism in my view are the same Movement, finding different expressions in different countries in accord with different national and racial characteristics.
He later goes on to explain specifically why the racial theories of British Fascism and German Nazism differ, seeing no contradiction since “They are German and we are English, therefore our views [..] will be different” — i.e. Britain was a global, multiracial empire while Germany lacked an empire and instead sought “a revived German race, geographically united.” Wonder what the NRM would think of that.
Mussolini, the brave man who trampled the dragon underfoot, was one of us, that is why all dragon heads hurled themselves upon him, swearing death to him. For us, the others, he will be a bright North Star giving us hope; he will be living proof that the hydra can be defeated; proof of the possibilities of victory.
“But Mussolini is not anti-Semitic. You rejoice in vain,” whispered the Jewish press into our ears. It is not a matter of what we rejoice in say I, it is a question of why you Jews are sad at his victory, if he is not anti-Semitic. What is the rationale of the worldwide attack on him by the Jewish press? Italy has as many Jews as Romania has Ciangai [a quite minor ethnic group] in the Siret valley. An Italian anti-Semitic movement would be as if Romanians started a movement against the Ciangai.
But had Mussolini lived in Romania he could not but be anti-Semitic, for Fascism means first of all defending your nation against the dangers that threaten it. It means the destruction of these dangers and the opening of a free way to life and glory for your nation.
