heres whats gonna happen. me and my domme are gonna go to mall of america and get cinnabon or jamba juice. whatever we want, i mean whatever we are feeling. in that moment. im gonna put rat poison in our drinks. then we hit up sealife aquarium. i pay the $15 admission fee. by the time we get to the little underwater tunnel part our bodies are weakening. Ill explain everything, Mistress will understand. we share a last kiss there with the sharks swimming along side us and rays soaring above our heads like birds. after we drag ourselves through the shimmering tableaus of the seahorse zone well finally collapse on the wiry carpet under the gentle blacklight of the jellyfish display were we breathe our last.. our love will be memorialized on the third or fourth page of the minneapolis star tribune

And let all the hurt,
inside of you die.

Frenchmen be like “this pitch black cave full of skeletons is not scary enough, I must make it worse”
thinking about the woman next to me at the self checkout earlier today who tapped my shoulder and whispered "hey look at this" and when i turned around she had the biggest grin on her face as she held up an enormous strawberry that was shaped exactly like a penis
2,300-Year-Old Plush Bird from the Altai Mountains of Siberia (c.400-300 BCE): this artifact was crafted with a felt body and reindeer-fur stuffing, all of which remains intact
This stuffed bird was sealed in the frozen barrows of Pazyryk, Siberia, for more than two millennia, where a unique microclimate enabled it to be preserved. The permafrost ice lense formation that sits just beneath the barrows provides an insulating layer, preventing the soil from heating during the summer and allowing it to quickly freeze during the winter; these conditions produce a separate microclimate within the stone walls of the barrows themselves, thereby aiding in preservation.
This is just one of the many well-preserved artifacts that have been found at Pazyryk. These artifacts are attributed to the Scythian/Altaic cultures.
