🎮💙⚽️The Blindfold Date: MM Contemporary Romance

Facing his crush from uni was not what E expected on a blind date. 🔗 mybook.to/TheBlindfoldDate

🎮 video games programmer ⚽️ ex-football player 🔥 steamy scenes ♾️ autistic MC 🍆 D/S dynamic 👀 s€x toys 🏳️‍🌈 MM 🥰 HEA

A new dating app. Rules: both parties sit at a table with blindfolds on. Each can ask three questions. If they don’t like the answers, they can leave. If both parties enjoy the conversation, they take the blindfolds off. What can go wrong? Nothing. Unless you come face-to-face with your old crush.

This is exactly how Ernesto—an autistic video game programmer with a dominant streak, reconnects with Brian—an easy-going ex-football player with a burgeoning desire to submit. After his secret obsession with Brian comes to light, he realises both of them have changed since their time at uni. E is willing to risk a potential emotional disaster to have Brian under him, even if just for one night.

Brian threw himself into his bi-awakening with so much enthusiasm, he got hurt too many times to count, but succumbing to the demands of this lean, geeky Dom may be just what Brian needs. He has to overcome his past to truly give himself to E, at the danger of having his heart broken by a man who desires his body but doesn’t know his secrets.

A standalone MM book 2 from the contemporary Pursuit of Love series. High steam/low angst.

Available in KU, ebook and paperback 📚

Still laughing at Brian May offhandedly writing the greatest understatement in the history of academia in his astrophysics doctoral dissertation:

Ah, yes - “various pressures.” Like being one of the greatest guitarists ever and playing/writing/singing for the most legendary rock band of all time.

Those various pressures.

Lisa Needham at Public Notice:

It’s no secret that Trump has been flouting court orders. But that’s not the only way the president and his henchpeople at the Department of Justice are expressing their disdain for the judicial branch. The Trump administration is also brazenly changing its arguments on the fly — often in front of the same court — when faced with a loss or ruling that they don’t like. That’s what happened in DVD v. United States, where the administration deported eight individuals to South Sudan, though they are currently being held in neighboring Djibouti. In this case, the administration tried both approaches, first defying the court and then trying to reverse course on their own arguments.

US District Judge Brian Murphy entered a preliminary injunction back in April, saying detainees could not be removed to a third country without written notice to the detainee and counsel, if any, in a language the detainee understands. The administration was also ordered to allow detainees a “meaningful opportunity” to raise credible fears of persecution or torture. In addition, migrants were to be given a minimum of 15 days to reopen immigration proceedings to challenge their removal to a third country. But that isn’t what happened. Instead, eight people were deported with less than 24 hours’ notice, no access to counsel, and no information about South Sudan, despite that country being considered so dangerous that the US government warns people not to travel there. On May 20, Murphy called an emergency hearing after attorneys for the plaintiffs notified him that a deportation flight was potentially leaving for South Sudan. Though Murphy found that the government had ���unquestionably” violated his order, he nonetheless worked with the administration to craft a remedy, extending them a grace they certainly don’t deserve. Plaintiffs’ counsel argued that the only remedy for the unlawful removal and failure to provide due process was to return the detainees to the United States to challenge their removal. When asked by Judge Murphy what remedy the government proposed, the DOJ attorney said that bringing the detainees back was too broad, but agreed that conducting reasonable fear interviews where the detainees were currently located was feasible. An ICE assistant director told the court, “I know it's possible and the department can work it out. We've been working on it for the last couple of hours to make sure that we can do it, and it is possible to do it." Judge Murphy told the government that if they wanted to do interviews overseas, “you have to do them appropriately: if you don't want to, you can always bring them home of your own volition and do it there.”

[...]

Making it up as they go

These blatant stalling tactics are not new for the administration. It’s basically the same thing they did in a different case before Judge James Boasberg, JGG v. Trump. This is the case where Judge Boasberg ordered the administration to immediately stop the deportation of hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador’s notorious Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), including turning the planes around if necessary. But the administration did not turn the planes around, instead trying out a variety of excuses for not following the order, including “the planes were in international waters,” “only written orders count,” and their old standby, “no one can tell the president what to do when it comes to immigration.” As with the case before Judge Murphy, the administration hasn’t just defied orders here. They’ve also made up new arguments whenever it suits them. During the hearing where Judge Boasberg was trying to figure out exactly where the planeloads of detainees might be while the government was trying to stall, the DOJ attorney said he had learned of “operational details” that “raised potential national security issues” and therefore couldn’t discuss anything in a public courtroom. He offered to provide the court with additional information, but only in camera — outside the presence of the public. Boasberg obliged, at which point the government admitted that they didn’t actually have any additional details, but totally would share them if they did. [...] In multiple immigration cases, the administration has argued that there is only one way that detainees can challenge their detention: via a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. A habeas writ requires the government to bring the detainee before the court to determine if their imprisonment is lawful. That’s a scummy argument in that it requires each detainee to figure out how to raise a habeas challenge while the administration is shuffling them around the country or secretly deporting them overseas, but at least it’s an argument with some legal foundation. Habeas is frequently used to challenge immigration removals, though it is not the exclusive way to do so. The problem is that the Trump administration quickly made abundantly clear it had no intention of letting immigrants meaningfully petition for habeas relief. In the case about the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Ábrego García, they gave away the game, arguing that “because Plaintiffs' claims sound in habeas, they can proceed only in habeas. But because Plaintiffs concede that Ábrego García, is not in United States custody, this Court cannot hear those claims.” Yes, the administration deported Ábrego García, in error and with no due process, claimed habeas was his only way to obtain relief, and then smugly argued that Ábrego García, can’t bring a habeas claim any longer because no US court has jurisdiction now that he is in El Salvador. Not content to show the futility of habeas case by case, the administration has pivoted to saying it may entirely suspend the right of habeas corpus instead. That would remove even the meager protections that detainees are owed and make the administration’s actions largely unreviewable by the courts. Sure, that suspension is only supposed to happen in “cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it,” but the administration has constructed a fantasy world where the United States is under siege from an invasion of Venezuelan members of the Tren de Aragua gang. 

The Trump Regime’s mockery of court rulings going against them is brazen fascism.
