Nearly 130 public libraries closed across Britain in the last year

Almost 130 public libraries have closed in the last year in Britain while an extra 3,000 volunteers have been brought in to run remaining services, as the decade’s austerity pressures see local authorities continuing to apply swingeing cuts to budgets.

The annual survey of British libraries by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (Cipfa) has revealed a similar picture each year since 2010, with the number of branches and paid staff falling every year.

DEVIL JOHN

Fandom: Sherlock

Rating: Explicit

Summary: John is dead, but that's not the end for him. Not when he has a soul left to corrupt.

Excerpt:

Why was it so dark here?

His wound was gone now, but there had been an awful lot of blood before.

“Are you done now?” A voice called out, a lilting voice that rose and fell like music. “Have you realized yet, or are you still in denial?”

“Hello? Where am I? I can't see you.”

“It's hard for you, I know, but I would have expected that as a doctor you would realize the truth sooner rather than later.”

The voice sounded familiar, male, a bit high pitched, sing-song. No, it couldn't be. “Who are you?”

“You know who I am. You just don't...want...to believe it. You don't want to see it either. I haven't seen this much smoke since the first time I burned down my orphanage.”

“Moriarty? But you're dead!”

“Yes, I am...Ah! You almost see it, but your mind is fighting it. You have such a titanic skill at denial, don't you John?”

“Denying what!”John barked. The light became darker. “What are you doing with the lights?”

“Nothing Johnny boy. It's you who is doing it.”

“I'm not dead!”

“You are, that's why you won't see me. When you realize the truth, it will all become clear.”

Sexual Anatomy from top to bottom

I am changing the theme of this blog to cover human sexual anatomy.

Why Sex?

When I was young, people talked about the sexual revolution. As a child, I didn't really understand what they meant. It seemed to have something to do with women dancing with their long hair down, and men trying to pick them up. The one thing that everyone agreed on was that the world had changed. We would never be sexually repressed again.

But when I came of age, it was the area of JUST SAY NO. Although it was supposed to be about drugs, sex was also a big no, no. AIDS was a punishment for the swinger life style, and our fathers knew better after all.

In the twenty-first century it's even worse. Abstinence-only education is the norm in the United States, and sex education is spotty and full of moralizing and misinformation.

After the second or third time that I heard someone post that they had learned about sex reading fan-fiction, I felt that there was a need for a source of reliable sex education that could be reached by the typical eleven year old, and yet would be relevant to adults as well. This blog will now discuss sex, human sex. Everything I can find about the anatomy, physiology, and biology of human sexual experience. Feel free to give me asks in the comments as it is a work in progress. Please correct me if you see any mistakes. Please tell me if this is useful to you. I will try to make it accurate and if possible interesting.

Re-post an old fic!

Hey! I’m going to start a little thing, if you’ll join me! It’s very much like a thing I did a couple of summers ago, the Summer Saturday Self-Reblog thing. It’s not summer and it doesn’t have to be Saturday - just re-post an old fic of yours. Lots of people may not have read it, and lots of people may be in the market to read something new. Make a fun header for your post. Or not! As you like. :) I’ll be back in a few with my first one. :)
