Senate Chamber Program for Friday: Senate will resume consideration of the House Message to accompany H.R. 4366, Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024. Senators should expect a live quorum at approximately 10 a.m., with the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to concur ripening at 12 noon.

The deadline for the six appropriations bills in this minibus is midnight. The Senate is expected to vote on several amendments today, all of which will be defeated, otherwise the bill would have to return to the Senate. Expect a vote early this afternoon and President will sign it this evening. This will end the drama for 30% of the Federal Government, setting their funding for the rest of the fiscal year (five and a half months).

The deadline for the other six bills is March 22nd. Two weeks away.

spn was really like

“hey what if the spawn of Lucifer was a mama’s boy and loved his mother so much but also she died in childbirth because of what he is so he has this entire guilt complex about inadvertently killing her by existing for half his life, and so he decides to save his friend dad guys’ mom bc he’s projecting his own loss onto them so he rips the universe in half to go find her and then they bond together until she sees him as one of her sons and he sees her as a mother figure and she calls him sweetheart and he swears to always protect her and they both truly genuinely love each other, and then he’s gonna actually kill his mother for real this time and spiral into even more self hatred and guilt over it because for the second time in his life he’s killed his mother just by being what he is”

and you expect me to be normal about it.

Mushy May Day 5: Hair braiding

Dew and Mountain have regular hair braiding events going back to when they were first summoned. Rain learns the serene intimacy that comes along with braiding somebody's hair and having somebody braid your own.

I might rework this into something longer and/or more in-depth another time, but enjoy this for now. Happy Mushy May <3!

The event of the night was a near sacred ritual for Dew and Mountain. They had originally learned how to braid hair from one of the sisters in an attempt to keep it out of their faces during practice, but within a few short weeks both found that they had come to appreciate the silent intimacy that the gesture brought and it all had blossomed from there. 

The two established a monthly tradition to dedicate at least one night every month to weave as intricate of braids as they could into the other’s hair. Mountain would always bring small flowers that he thought would compliment the other ghouls long silvery hair to weave in, and Dew would bring fascinating rocks and trinkets that he would find in the lake or nearby river. It added an extra layer of knowing one another that made the night feel extra special.

The first time that the ghoulettes saw them after one of these nights they had immediately asked to join, and the pair were more than happy to let them. It seemed like the perfect way to grow closer to the new ghoulettes. Dew and Mountain taught them slowly how to braid, but no matter what they always did each other’s hair so that the original intent of the tradition was never lost. 

Now here they were once again with their newest addition to the night. Rain had not really seen the point of the tradition at first, but now as he felt Dew’s fingers softly work down his scalp grabbing small sections of hair he was starting to understand. 

The combination of the soft hum that Dew let out as he concentrated and the attention to detail made him feel so seen and cared for considering the simplistic action. He had decided to start small, mostly wanting to observe the other ghouls before jumping in fully, but the delicate pull of the twin french fishtail braids that Dew had talked him into was leaving him wanting for more. 

Rain watched the intricate looping braids being built up by Cumulus on the other ghoulettes head and was mesmerized. He had no idea what was happening but the serene look on Cirrus’ face and the dedication on Cumulus’ left him feeling almost jealous. 

Right as he was getting lost in the motions of the ghoulettes he felt Dew’s breath ghost across the back of his neck as he hummed in satisfaction at a job well done. After securing the hair off with an elastic, Dew moved to pining occasional forget-me-nots that Mountain had brought into the water ghoul’s hair. 

“Those really bring out your eyes, Rainbow” Mountain called out from across the room where he was trying to organize the trinkets that he and Dew had brought. “I’m really glad you decided to join us” he heard Dew whisper just loud enough for him to hear, the tiniest whispers of his broken purr beginning to start up. 

Finally the fire ghoul finished and brought him over to the mirrors so he could see how everything looked. 

“So Rainy, do ya like it?” Dew prompted, moving the small hand mirror around behind Rain’s head so he could get a view of the back. 

“This is so much better than I imagined. I adore this.” he replied, a loud purr of his own kicking up. Yeah, Rain would definitely be making an appearance at these functions from now on.
