“The more time you spend around me, the deeper you’ll sink. I know you can already feel it. You’re becoming loyal.” I was at the gym when it first happened. Ty started flexing his muscles, and it was like my brain completely switched off. He made me feel his biceps. He made me smell his body. I started to feel so weak… Now, I’m bound atop his bed. His sapphire-blue eyes glitter as he places his powerful hands on my tiny frame. I spent all day doing his homework for him, and this is my reward for being an obedient boy. “It’s time for your first milking session. You’ll like it—I promise.” My eyes glaze over as he speaks. I’m ready. --- CONTAINS EXPLICIT GAY SEXUAL CONTENT. For exclusive stories, visit www.ArcherVale.com.Ver livro

In late December 1776, the American War of Independence appeared to be on its last legs. General George Washington's continental forces had been reduced to a shadow of their former strength, and the British Army had chased them across the Delaware River into Pennsylvania. Desperate times call for desperate measures, however, and George Washington responded to this crisis with astonishing audacity. On Christmas night 1776, he recrossed the Delaware as a nor'easter churned up the coast, burying his small detachment under howling sheets of snow and ice. Undaunted, they attacked a Hessian brigade at Trenton, New Jersey, taking the German auxiliaries by complete surprise. Then, only three days later, Washington struck again, crossing the Delaware, slipping away from the British at Trenton, and attacking the Redcoats at Princeton. The British, now back on their heels, retreated toward New Brunswick as Washington's reinvigorated force followed them north into Jersey. Over the next eight months, Washington's continentals and the state militias of New Jersey would go head-to-head with the British in a multitude of battles, eventually forcing the British to flee New Jersey by sea. In this captivating narrative of the American War of Independence, Jim Stempel brings to life one of the most violent, courageous, yet virtually forgotten periods of the Revolutionary War.Ver livro

Baruch Spinoza's philosophy is a comprehensive system that integrates metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and political theory into a unified framework. Central to his thought is the idea of God and nature as a single, infinite substance, which Spinoza refers to as "Deus sive Natura" (God or Nature). This concept encapsulates his pantheistic view that everything that exists is a part of this one, all-encompassing reality. Metaphysics and Substance Spinoza's metaphysical framework revolves around the notion of substance monism. He argues that there is only one substance in the universe, which is both God and nature. This substance possesses an infinite number of attributes, with thought and extension being the two that humans can comprehend. Everything that exists, according to Spinoza, is a mode or manifestation of this single substance. This idea challenges traditional theistic views by rejecting the notion of a personal, transcendent God who is separate from the world. Epistemology and Knowledge In epistemology, Spinoza emphasizes the role of reason and intuitive knowledge in understanding the nature of reality. He distinguishes between different types of knowledge: imagination, reason, and intuition. Imaginative knowledge, based on sensory experience and inadequate ideas, is unreliable and often leads to confusion. Rational knowledge, which arises from understanding the necessary connections between ideas, is more accurate. The highest form of knowledge, according to Spinoza, is intuitive knowledge—an immediate, direct understanding of the essence of things.Ver livro
