A Locked Tomb question that I can’t seem to track down an answer for: Cytherea claims that she never lied to anyone when speaking with Palamedes. But earlier in the book, she speaks about being a child and wanting to join the Ninth:
My understanding of the timeline is that this can’t be true for Cytherea. Do I have it wrong? Did Cytherea forget she had lied? Is it an authorial oversight?

I need help finding some good sex ed videos.
My kid’s (quite liberal) school is using a video called “the great sperm race” and it is eye wateringly misogynist. Also, it tells the story of fertilization from the pov of individual sperm (statistically almost impossible to be the winner) so that even my highly educated teenager came away saying “seems like it’s really hard to get pregnant from having sex” - which is the worst possible takeaway for this demographic.
I think the science teacher should have materials that share information about what kind of sex leads to pregnancy that is not filled with images of faceless zombies inhabiting the uterus and killing sperm, images of hog farmers stimulating sows nipples while a male voiceover speculates on the relative uselessness of the female orgasm, or charming comments about how when a wife doesn’t allow her husband to climax for days or weeks before trying to get pregnant, she is making a mistake (presumably, he is not involved with family planning at all.). But please imagine what googling for a good sex ed video has been like.
Any recs?

Hey tumblr folks!
Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah is a beautiful song for sure and a million people have done covers of it.
The song has lots of versus! Apparently Cohen originally wrote 80! What the hell my dude! My favourite version of the song is the one with the religious verses which I believe was the original one recorded as well, though I’m not 100% sure. Ie, the versus that begin with:
“I heard there was a secret chord”
“Your faith was strong but you needed proof”
“You say I took the name in vain”
“I did my best, it wasn’t much”
Specifically this version with these verses.
I am trying to find a nice cover of this version of the song. But it seems like almost universally, the only version people do covers of is the one with the romantic verses, ie:
“I heard there was a secret chord”
“Your faith was strong but you needed proof”
“Well maybe there’s a god above”
“Well people I’ve been here before”
“There was a time you let me know”
I can only find this version covered. Only this one, covered a million times. Plus some really obnoxious Christian rewritings. There’s nothing wrong with this version but I really, really want to find a cover of the first version and I can find none and I think that’s sad.
Do you guys know of any covers of that version specially?

Teen Wolf Fic Search
Okay, I give up.
Anyone who reads/used to read Teen Wolf fic - does anyone remember a story where the Sheriff knows/learns about werewolves. And there's a scene at some point where he goes out to Derek's house in the Preserve and sees all of them training and Scott goes to try to attack Stiles, and Stiles touches Derek and brings up a circle of protection that Scott can't break.
This has been driving me nuts for a solid two weeks.

Where's that post about being, like, the opposite of sapiosexual? Like, being attracted to absolute dumbasses?
I need that for... reasons.
