They said it was an accident, but the looks and whispers say differently. He killed her, he's sure of it, but he can't remember the moments that lead up to Raven's disappearance. She was there, then she was gone and he was left behind. | Author: C. E.

A Lambda Literary Award Winner Teenage baker Syd sends ripples of heartbreak through Austin’s queer community when a batch of post-being-dumped brownies turns out to be magical—and makes everyone who eats them break up. “What’s done is done.” Unless, of course, it was done by my brownies. Then it’s getting undone. Syd (no pronouns, please) has always dealt with big, hard-to-talk-about things by baking. Being dumped is no different, except now Syd is baking at the Proud Muffin, a queer bakery and community space in Austin. And everyone who eats Syd’s breakup brownies . . . breaks up. Even Vin and Alec, who own the Proud Muffin. And their breakup might take the bakery down with it. Being dumped is one thing; causing ripples of queer heartbreak through the community is another. But the cute bike delivery person, Harley (he or they, check the pronoun pin, it’s probably on the messenger bag), believes Syd about the magic baking. And Harley believes Syd’s magical baking can fix things, too—one recipe at a time.

I raise my hand and tip the runny liquid into the bowl, letting the yolk slip out. It’s bright, orange, unbroken. It’s beautiful, and I want to keep it that way. Maybe forever. But I have to whisk it, and with a few turns of my wrist the batter swallows it up. The yolk disappears like it was never there. I dump the dry ingredients in with the wet, then check my recipe card for the fourth time. Red velvet. My hands know how to do this. Snap the bowl into place on the stand mixer. Stir on the lowest setting until everything barely swirls together. Don’t overmix, or the cake comes out stodgy. I flick the switch at the perfect moment, as the last of the dry, crummy bits dissolve into silk. My hands are good at this. Which is helpful, because the rest of me isn’t really here. I slap butter-flour paste into four round cake pans, then pour batter into each one. It folds on top of itself like a ribbon. This part usually feels like I’m finishing off a present, and the people who eat the cake later will be able to taste that it’s a gift I made with them in mind. Even if we’re strangers. They’ll taste it, and they’ll know I want them to be happy. Baking is magic that way. But I don’t feel like giving presents right now. And I’m not really here because I’m still in her bedroom, wrapped in her towel, shivering as she peers at me without her glasses on and says, “Maybe this isn’t working.” Like we’re a recipe that isn’t coming together right. “Syd, do you have a minute to take muffins to the front?” Marisol calls from across the kitchen. She’s being delicate with me. Marisol isn’t delicate with anything, not even meringues. On a normal day she’d let me know how unacceptable it is that I’m four cakes behind when we’re about to open. She’d remind me that I’m so young, too young to be a full-time baker, even though she’s only a few years older than I am. I do the whole routine in my head. Then I throw my red velvet rounds in the oven. I grab the muffins, warm and waiting. Drop them in pale wicker baskets, inhaling the comforts of triple ginger, oatmeal and peaches with a brown sugar crumb topping, cherry vanilla strewn with dark chocolate. Each smell hits my nose and burrows into the part of my brain that believes things will be all right. But then I get to the savory breakfast muffins, sharp cheddar and smoky bacon and green onion. Those are W’s favorites. I don’t know whether I should put one aside for her. I don’t know what she wants anymore. I head to the front, where Vin is standing at the cash register, settling rolls of change into the little nooks. “Hey, Syd darlin’. ” His voice is a dark crackle, his southern accent like a drizzle of honey on top of burnt popcorn. Actually, that sounds good. I start a recipe in my head. Anything to avoid thinking about W. “Need to talk?” Vin asks, without looking up from the quarters. “What?” “Seems like you’re holding something in,” he says. “That’s not good for your constitution.” I look around the bakery. The front room is filled with early morning light and nooks where people can have private conversations. Beyond that is the wooden porch painted in thick rainbow stripes, and wrought iron tables set in a lush, wild garden. Upstairs is a wide-open community space lined in vintage couches and bookshelves stuffed with queer literature. Vin and Alec have done everything they could to make this place safe and comfortable for someone like me. Every day since I found it on a lucky wander through South Austin, that’s how I’ve felt. Safe. Comfortable. But right now the Proud Muffin’s magic isn’t working. I feel foul. And Vin can tell just by looking at me. “Don’t worry,” I chirp. This isn’t my normal voice. Did I leave it behind at W’s? How much of me is missing? “It’s my job to worry about all of you,” Vin says. He means it, too. He and Alec treat everyone who work for them like the ever-expanding family that seems standard in Texas. I was born in Illinois. I have parents, a sister, a scattering of aunts, and a single awkward cousin. When I told her I was dating W, she said, and I quote, “That’s a bad idea, but okay.” “Syd, you still with me?” Vin asks. I can’t let him think that my feelings about W are shaking my ability to get through a shift. I could lose the best job in the world. No matter how nice Vin and Alec are, I’m the youngest person they’ve taken on as a baker—and it wasn’t a picnic to convince them. Actually, now that I’m thinking about it, every picnic I’ve been on has felt like a high-stakes situation involving me making lots of food with the likelihood that the entire outing will be ruined by some unforeseen factor. Convincing them was exactly like a picnic. “I think I’m hungry,” I say, and my voice sounds as least halfway mine. “Didn’t get a chance to eat this morning. I’m going to grab a Texas Breakfast if that’s okay.” Those are the peachy oatmeal muffins. Vin nods sagely. He does everything sagely. He rides a motorcycle and listens to endless history podcasts and works out constantly. His tanned white skin is heavily tattooed, mostly with poetry running in all directions, and even though he’s as friendly as Alec, he hides it better—which all adds up to a burly dad vibe. “Take the register for a few minutes, will you? Gemma’s coming in, but I need to run to the bank and get change. Y’all keep going through my singles like this is a strip bakery.” Marisol would have laughed at that. I just nod at Vin, completely mature and trustworthy. Show More

King Charles grew up with strict rules, as do most of the royal children. But he's relying on William and Kate to not make the same mistakes he did.

“He stopped, and now, even at the confines of light (thoughtless alas!) and deprived of understanding, he looked back at his Eurydice: there all his labour vanished, and the conditions of the cruel tyrant were broken and a groan was thrice heard in the Avernian lake. Then she; who is it, O Orpheus, that has destroyed miserable me, and thee also? Whose great madness was this? Lo, again the cruel Fates call me back, and sleep seals up my swimming eyes. And now adieu: I am carried away encompassed with thick darkness, and stretching out my hands to you in vain, alas being no longer yours. She said, and fled suddenly from his sight a different way, like smoke mixing with thin air: nor did she see him catching in vain at the shadows, and desiring to say a great deal more; nor did the ferry-man of hell suffer him again to pass over the withstanding lake.” (-Virgil, Georgicks) And what symbolism is there in this mistake of Orpheus turning back too early? Does it portray the danger and punishment of not respecting the gods and following their rules? Perhaps it symbolizes time, and by looking back (livig in the past) we will find pain and not be able to move on with our lives in the present and future. There are many fascinating examples of the reoccurring motif of “Mortal’s not heeding a divine warning” in Greek myth. When Psyche looks upon her secret lover’s face (Eros) against his orders, it sets her on a long journey where she ultimately must perform impossible labors to appease Aphrodite. In the final task, after trekking to Hades to collect some of Persephone’s beauty in a box, the girl can’t help but peak within the box, which renders her unconscious, and she is only saved by Eros in the end coming to remove the sleep. Pandora, the first mortal woman created by Hephaestus, was warned not to open the jar offered by Zeus as a present, but when her curiosity overpowered her, she opened the lid, releasing ills and evils into the world. When King Pentheus, in his arrogance, denied the divinity of Dionysus, the god bewitched the king’s mother and aunts who tore the man apart, thinking him a lion. King Erysichiton, ignoring the warning, cut down sacred trees in the grove of Demeter, and was cursed with everlasting hunger, resulting in him later devouring his own flesh.

A collection of poems that address the mindset Cornell Bunting had after being release from jail, seeing his three boys with the goal of creating moments with them and cherishing all the quality times. Understanding the unknown and how certain it is with trying his faith. The journey that only he could tell in different art forms, a journey of what his life was like, from as far back as he could remember, the tale and the drama. Life as he saw it then and life as he sees it now. A man about his dream journey, the Cornell Bunting journey looking out as a walk with great patience, hoping the words will find ears. Imagine him drawing a map, movements, no blind alley way, paying attention, wasting time making wrong turns, not here as you hold tight to good advice, don't relax yet, as he ask you to guard the information, lives at stake! seal up, don't take wicked bypass, maybe stay clear of the wrong path, right or left, make a detour, go with the best feelings, bad people are restless and bad, no time for trouble making, keep on, as a read will find. Poems of LOVE, praise, motivation, drama and action. | Author: Cornell Bunting | Publisher: Independently published | Publication Date: Dec 12, 2018 | Number of Pages: 171 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 179161874X | ISBN-13: 9781791618742

Riley Reid Signed Autograph Signature Adult Movie Actress Selfie 5X7 8X10 Reprint Picture Celebrity Actress Poster Print We are a huge collectors of just about all vintage and modern photography and we are now happy to share some of our photo's prints and posters with you. For the first time, we are offering public access to a selection of our rare, hard to find vintage historical archival images collection. These images have been the main source for numerous conceptual interior design projects for restaurants, bars, retail spaces, national and boutique hotels, high-end residences throughout the world. All our photo reproduction prints are of the highest possible quality available anywhere. We offer many various print sizes where possible. Because photography was a lot different back in the day than it is today, some of our vintage images may not always fall within modern day photo sizes of 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, 8.5x11 etc. If an image requires slight cropping, it will be very minimal and may not even be noticeable, but we will only do this as a last resort. For the most part, photographs are left original and untouched. As vintage photographs were taken with a small format camera before the advent of high resolution cameras there can be a grainier look than the HD cameras of today produce. The only way to avoid this is by posterizing or otherwise altering the image in photoshop, which we will not do. You get the original unaltered image. All our photos are of the highest possible photo print quality. Shipping & Handling: All orders are usually processed and shipped out to you within 1-2 business days. Typically, we will try and ship the same day if possible. Where possible, we will offer photos in the following sizes;- 4x6 - 5x7 - 8x10 and 8.5x11 size.
