Notes Fa uns mesos va néixer una nova iniciativa per crear espais de trobada entre catalanoparlants nadius i aprenents. Es tracta de Speak Catalan, un projecte d'Arnau Torner i Eloi Rodríguez, que es proposen fer tota mena d'activitats per connectar gent local i internacional per passar-s'ho bé tot parlant en català, perquè com diuen ells, "el català és viu, si el català es viu". Som-hi! Speak Catalan Perfil a Instagram Pàgina web Cursos intensius de conversa Apunta't a un curs intensiu de conversa aquest estiu i practica el català cada dia durant 3 setmanes.

Transcripció Andreu: [0:15] Bon dia a tothom i benvinguts al pòdcast d'Easy Catalan! Per si algú de vosaltres és nou i comença a escoltar el pòdcast amb aquest episodi, em presento: jo soc l'Andreu Monfà, soc de Lleida, però visc a Barcelona, i formo part d'aquest projecte juntament amb el Joan, la Sílvia i tota una colla de voluntaris i professors que no només en saben molt, de llengua i cultura catalanes, sinó que a més els encanta compartir aquest coneixement amb vosaltres. Aquestes persones són la Marta, la Cesca, la Valentina, el Francesc, la Meritxell, la Judith, la Clara, el Matthew, la Sònia... Alguns de vosaltres ja els coneixeu, per exemple la Judith i la Valentina, que van venir com a convidades als episodis 70 i 148, o la Cesca i la Marta, que fan una xerrada a Discord cada setmana. I tot i que les seves veus no se sentin gaire aquí al pòdcast, heu de saber que són una part molt important del projecte. Així que, sisplau, un aplaudiment col·lectiu per ells i per elles. Va, aplaudiu amb mi. Andreu: [1:26] Parlant de xerrar, aquesta setmana hem obert les inscripcions als nous cursos intensius de conversa que farem el mes de juliol. Us imagineu què passaria amb el vostre català si el parléssiu com a mínim una hora cada dia durant tres setmanes? Cada dia parlant d'un tema diferent, amb algú que dinamitzi la conversa i et pugui fer correccions o comentaris de tant en tant. Doncs això mateix podreu fer del 29 de juny al 17 de juliol si us apunteu a un grup de conversa. Hi ha dos nivells: el nivell A2-B1, un intermedi baix, i el nivell B1-B2, que és un intermedi més alt. I per a cadascun d'aquests dos nivells tenim tres horaris: de 10 a 11 del matí, de 18 a 19 h i de 19 a 20 h. Com he dit, les dates són del 29 de juny al 17 de juliol, i és una hora de conversa al dia de dilluns a divendres, així que en total practicareu el català durant 15 hores. La web per fer la inscripció és classes.easycatalan.org. Teniu l'enllaç a la descripció. Apunteu-vos-hi si voleu guanyar fluïdesa, tenir més confiança a l'hora de parlar i ampliar vocabulari sobre temes ben variats. Andreu: [2:38] I si fins ara només he parlat jo, és perquè a l'episodi d'avui no hi tenim ni el Joan ni la Sílvia, els altres protagonistes d'aquest pòdcast, sinó que hi tenim un convidat. O, més ben dit, dos convidats. Ells són l'Arnau i l'Eloi, els impulsors d'un projecte que us pot interessar, sobretot si viviu a Catalunya o veniu de viatge. Es tracta de Speak Catalan, una iniciativa que vol crear espais de trobada entre catalanoparlants nadius i aprenents, organitzant tot tipus d'esdeveniments i trobades socials per practicar la llengua. El projecte va arrencar tot just fa uns pocs mesos, però ja està tenint molt d'èxit i ha arribat a moltíssimes persones que volen socialitzar en català a Barcelona i a altres llocs. Segur que molts dels que esteu escoltant això ja sabeu de què parlo, així que no dic res més, perquè el que ens interessa avui és que l'Eloi i l'Arnau mateixos ens expliquin amb més detall tot això de Speak Catalan. Eloi Rodríguez, Arnau Torner, creadors de Speak Catalan, benvinguts a Easy Catalan. Algú podria pensar que es tracta de projectes en comú o semblants, però són projectes diferents. Però bé, abans d'entrar a parlar de Speak Catalan, m'agradaria que els oients us coneguin una mica. Aleshores, qui són l'Arnau i l'Eloi?

[**New episodes of ATTC are now available in video! You can watch on Spotify, or YouTube. Or you can just keep on listening in all the same places you usually do.**] The NYC and American chef community lost a beloved and influential figure last week with the sudden death of Chef Tom Valenti after a short illness. Tom presided over the kitchens of such fabled restaurants as Alison on Dominick Street, Cascabel, Butterfield 81, Ouest, and Cesca, among others. In addition to becoming known for a bold, lusty culinary style, Tom helped found the Windows of Hope charity to raise money for the families of restaurant workers who perished in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on New York City. He also possessed a quick wit and abiding gift for silliness. (In addition to all of that, he authored three cookbooks in collaboration with Andrew, who was also his publiciast in the 1990s.) In this episode, Andrew shares some remembrances of  Tom, and airs a conversation with Tom that they began in 2020, and which was never finished. We recommend you read the NY Times obituary of Tom Valenti mentioned in this episode. Our great thanks to our presenting sponsor, meez, the recipe-operating system for culinary professionals. And thanks to S.Pellegrino for their longstanding support of the pod. THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:Andrew is a writer by trade. If you'd like to support him, there's no better way than by purchasing his most recent book, The Dish: The Lives and Labor Behind One Plate of Food (October 2023), about all the key people (in the restaurant, on farms, in delivery trucks, etc.) whose stories and work come together in a single restaurant dish.We'd love if you followed us on Instagram. Please also follow Andrew's real-time journal of the travel, research, writing, and production of/for his next book The Opening (working title), which will track four restaurants in different parts of the U.S. from inception to launch.For Andrew's writing, dining, and personal adventures, follow along at his personal feed.Thank you for listening—please don't hesitate to reach out with any feedback and/or suggestions!

Tema del dia En aquest episodi parlem de la pressió social que sovint reben les famílies amb nadons, sobretot quan es tracta de la lactància i de com alimentar-los. A partir de la seva experiència recent com a mare, la Sílvia comparteix reflexions molt sinceres sobre els consells i opinions no demanats, la idealització de la maternitat i la diferència entre el que es veu a les xarxes i la realitat. Perquè la vida real no és com la veiem a Instagram, sinó que sovint implica cansament, dubtes i moments difícils. La regla dels 5 segons: si has de donar una opinió a una persona i en els següents cinc segons aquella persona no pot canviar el que tu li estàs dient, no cal que l'hi diguis. Els pròxims cursos de català d'Easy Catalan comencen els dies 7 i 8 d'abril! Bonus Continuem la conversa sobre el fet de donar el pit davant d'altres persones. Fins a quin punt ho tenim normalitzat? Totes les mares ho viuen igual? Transcripció Andreu: [0:15] Bon dia, Sílvia! Sílvia: [0:17] Bon dia, Andreu! Com anem? Andreu: [0:19] Molt bé, ja és primavera! Sílvia: [0:20] Ja és primavera. A més, els ametllers han florit, que estan preciosos, tot comença a brotar… És aquell moment fantàstic per anar a fer passejadetes per la natura. Andreu: [0:30] No et sembla molt fort que ràpid que ha passat l'hivern? O sigui, a mi m'ha passat volant. T'ho juro. Sílvia: [0:36] A mi més. A mi més, però no ho dic, perquè de vegades semblo ja una iaia, no?, quan dius aquestes coses, llavors... Andreu: [0:43] Ah, bé, cap problema. Hauríem de trobar una traducció al català d'aquesta paraula castellana que és "viejoven", que és per dir una persona que és jove però amb actitud de persona gran, una mica, o amb comportaments. Sílvia: [0:56] Jo ho he sigut sempre. Andreu: [0:58] Jo també. Sílvia: [0:58] I molt a favor de tothom que sigui com jo, eh?, vull dir… Andreu: [1:01] Jo també. Avui he anat a comprar caramels de llimona i de menta. Sílvia: [1:06] Ah, perfecte. Sí, doncs… Andreu: [1:08] Ara, saps el típic que va al teatre i treu el caramelet a mitja funció? Sílvia: [1:15] No, eh? Sisplau, Andreu, això fot molt, eh? Entre aquest i el que li sona al mòbil i no té collons d'agafar-lo i quan l'agafa comença a cridar… Andreu: [1:25] Terrible. Fa una ràbia! És que fa una ràbia, això. Vull dir, mira que avisen. Sílvia: [1:29] Avui hem vingut ja una mica emprenyadets, eh? Veig que serà un dia complicat. Vinga. Andreu: [1:35] Sí. Bé, però abans d'entrar en el tema del dia, recordem que falta només una setmana perquè comenci el pròxim trimestre de català, dels cursos de català d'Easy Catalan. Aleshores, si algú de vosaltres que ens està escoltant té pensat fer algun curs properament o vol començar aviat a aprendre el català d'una manera més formal, amb un professor o professora que t'ajudi, doncs… aquest és el moment! Sílvia: [1:59] Oi tant, no espereu més, perquè les places volen, i el que heu de fer és entrar a classes.easycatalan.org, mirar totes les opcions d'horaris, preus, tot, tot, tot, tot, que està molt ben explicat, i contractar el que us vagi millor. Andreu: [2:13] Sí, allà també trobareu les presentacions o una breu descripció de cada professor i professora. Tenim la Valentina, el Francesc, la Cesca, la Meritxell, el Joan, jo i ara també la Sílvia! Sílvia: [2:25] Ueee! Jo. Andreu: [2:26] Sí, aquesta Sílvia, sí, no cap altra. Doncs sí, la Sílvia farà potser algun grup o classes particulars. Per tant, doncs, és possible que la tingueu com a professora. Sílvia: [2:39] Sigui qui sigui, el que sigui la professora o el professor que us toqui, ho farà estupendament. Andreu: [2:45] Exacte.

 Francesca's Garden of PleasuresBy neruval442. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. I woke to a feeling of bliss, still flanked by two beautiful women, one of them my beloved Beth. She smiled as she always did when we woke together. "Hi.""Hi yourself."I felt Francesca stirring. "Buongiorno" she wished us as she stretched luxuriantly.She sat up, and as always I couldn't help my eyes being drawn to her breasts. "Such a lovely day," she observed as the sunlight slanted in through the gap in the curtains.Beth nodded. "Perhaps we could all go out somewhere?"Francesca thought for a moment. "I know a place."She got out of bed, starting to dress, and Beth reached to touch her arm. "You don't need to go."Francesca smiled. "I think you two lovers need a little time to yourselves, maybe? I will go back to my room, take shower, I see you at breakfast."She deftly tied the fastening of her dress in place, and she was gone, closing the door behind her.Beth turned over, and I wrapped my arms around her. "She's very considerate."Beth nodded, a grin slowly spreading across her face. "Wow, last night really worked, didn't it."My expression was thoughtful, even a little puzzled. "We didn't quite stick to the plan, did we?"Beth smirked. "You men and your plans. What do you mean?""Well, I don't think there was any time when she and I were both giving attention to your breasts."Beth acknowledged my point. "Something still to look forward to, then."I hesitated. "And the way I was in her, you and I haven't done exactly that, have we. I'm sorry."Beth looked surprised, putting her hand on mine. "You were worried about that? Don't be silly. Anyway, I prefer to see your face, usually. Not that we shouldn't try it sometime."She smiled. "Anything else?"It was my turn to show surprise. "Well, um, you and she didn't, you know, there,”Beth's response was a shiver of anticipation. "Now that, I definitely hope we put right today."She took a deep breath. "Right, time for a shower so we can get going straight after breakfast. I wonder where Francesca has in mind, ?"When we walked into the dining room, Francesca was already at the table we'd shared the previous morning. "The girl will bring your usual breakfast," she grinned.She'd changed into a summer dress, still elegant but more suitable for a casual day out, and her dark hair was caught into a neat ponytail. "Any clues on where we're going?" I hinted."It is very close, but also private," came her enigmatic response.When we'd finished eating, Francesca bent down to pick up a blanket she'd kept under her chair, incidentally giving me a clear view down her cleavage, confirming that as yesterday she hadn't felt a bra was necessary to her outfit. "Follow me."She led us into the hotel's back garden, the grass neatly trimmed but the shrubs and bushes less and less well-tended as we moved further in. Finally we reached a high brick wall almost entirely concealed by overgrowth, and Francesca carefully stepped forward, pulling the ivy aside to reveal a wooden door, its iron latch showing signs of rust but still solid.She pushed the door open with some effort, and turned to us. "Please, enter."Beth stepped through first, and I followed. "Wow,”We were in a walled garden, trees and shrubs wildly overgrown, but with an inviting mossy lawn in the center. Francesca eased the door closed, brushing dust off her fingers, and smiled. "A wonderful place, no?"She walked to the center of the grass and spread out the blanket, sitting down and patting the space beside her in an obvious invitation. Beth walked over, kneeling, and I laid down in the space she'd left, my hands behind my head. "Um, it's idyllic."Beth looked around thoughtfully. "I'm sure the medieval writers used an enclosed garden as a symbol of a woman's body,”Francesca blinked. "You also read old books?"I chuckled. "Oh, you wouldn't believe it. That's why we've had so many holidays in this town, after all.""Of course we've both read quite a lot of Dante," Beth remembered.Francesca smiled. "There was a man who knew what it was to love. But also to lose."She looked sad, a little lost. "Tomorrow I must fly home,”I reached a hand out to hers. "We'll make sure we don't lose touch. And, all the more reason to make the most of the time we have."I leaned across, kissing Francesca softly on the lips. "That's by way of a promise."She placed her hand flat on my chest, and even this innocuous contact sent a thrill through my body. "Francesca, you've made my nipples tingle," I confessed.She glanced at Beth, who was grinning. "In that case, we must do something about it."Francesca started to undo my shirt buttons, and Beth joined her. As soon as one nipple was exposed to view, Beth dabbed her tongue on it, then pursed her lips to blow a stream of cooler air, making it harden almost painfully. "Hey," I pretended to scold, "you know that's not the way I like.""Is this better?" Francesca queried in a low, seductive voice, placing her moistened lips around my other nipple and sliding her tongue wetly over it."Oh god, yes, “ I gasped, and Beth relented, her lips and tongue mirroring Francesca's. "Oh, that is absolute bliss," I murmured, looking down to see Francesca's dark hair to one side, Beth's glossy brown on the other. "I could let you do this all day."I felt Francesca's fingers working deftly at my belt, then the zip of my jeans. Her fingers slid inside, finding my hardness, and she glanced across at Beth. "He does not need so many clothes, no?"Between them they slid my jeans and y-fronts off, then returned to my chest, Francesca's fingers now wrapped gently round my shaft. "Maybe I give you a small treat," she teased, leaving Beth to play with my nipples while she moved downwards. She dabbed at the drop of clear liquid on my tip with her tongue, then glanced up to watch my expression. She wrapped her lips softly around me, and my eyes widened as despite my best efforts to hold back, a surge of pleasure rippled through me and sticky fluid splashed her lips, her tongue. "Francesca, I am so sorry," I gasped.She swallowed, running her tongue over her lips, using a fingertip to catch a stray drop. "Is no problem, I like,”"Don't worry," grinned Beth. "He'll be ready for more before too long."She shifted a little closer to Francesca. "Anyway, this is our chance for you and I to get to know each other better."I held my breath as Beth kissed Francesca softly. "You taste your lover, no?" Francesca murmured, and Beth grinned. "It wouldn't be the first time."I watched as their hands began to explore one another, Beth's fingers brushing over Francesca's nipples, eliciting a gasp, and Francesca raised her arms so that Beth could lift her dress over her head. Today Francesca wore a barely-there thong, and Beth watched her face with an almost wanton expression, fingers tugging the filmy fabric into Francesca's most sensitive place while Beth's mouth returned to her nipples. "O dio," Francesca breathed, her hands cupping Beth's breasts. "Let me touch you also."Beth slipped the straps of her dress off her shoulders, letting it slide to the floor, then moved to kiss Francesca again, fingers tangling in her hair as Francesca sought the clips of her bra, finally releasing them. Francesca carefully laid aside the lacy garment, then touched her tongue to each nipple in turn. "Um," breathed Beth, "let me lie down."She lay back, hands behind her head, and Francesca returned to her nipples, suckling one then the other softly. She paused to glance at me, eyes dancing. "You can help, no?"I caught Beth's eye. "One down," she grinned with a raise of her eyebrows, then parted her lips in a soundless moan as I bent to her breast, Francesca's mouth already busy on the other. "Oh god, that's good."Beth parted her thighs as Francesca's fingers explored upwards, meeting the soft cotton of her panties. "So damp," Francesca whispered. She hooked her fingers through the elastic, and Beth lifted her hips to let Francesca slide her panties down and off. I felt myself stir as Francesca deliberately lifted the soft cotton to her face, tonguing the moisture Beth had provided. "Um, sweet.""Oh, my breasts again," begged Beth, and I glanced at Francesca as my mouth returned to Beth's nipple. "Greedy," Francesca teased. "I know soon you will want something else."Her words proved true as moments later Beth flexed her hips upwards. "Please,”I watched spellbound as Francesca moved down, kneeling between Beth's feet and leaning forward. Francesca buried her face in Beth's fur, breathing in deeply, then Beth's eyes widened as Francesca used the tip of her nose to explore lower, brushing her nub. "I hope you're taking notes, Tim," she gasped.Francesca threw me a grin, then took a deep breath, blowing gently on Beth's most intimate place. Beth's response was a frustrated sound, almost a growl. "God, 'Cesca, touch me again."Francesca relented, bending to place a soft kiss, then dab with her tongue. She hesitated, then carefully slid two fingers into Beth's opening, her tongue beginning to brush Beth's hard nub more insistently.I shifted position so that I could continue to use my mouth and tongue on Beth's breasts while still watching. The muscles under the smooth skin of Beth's stomach began to tense, and I paused to lean down and whisper in Francesca's ear, getting first a widening of her eyes in surprise, then a nod of understanding.I renewed my attention to Beth's nipples, and watched Francesca continue to use her mouth, her fingers thrusting gently as Beth clenched her hands on the blanket.Francesca's eyes met mine, and I nodded. She slowly withdrew her fingers, her tongue still moving insistently on Beth's nub, and again I saw the telltale tightening of muscles that betrayed how close Beth was to her release. "Ready, darling?" I queried, and Beth nodded wordlessly.I held my breath as Francesca moved a slippery fingertip a little further back, and gently touched the center of Beth's other opening. Beth's response was immediate, a cry of ecstasy, her hips shuddering, her nipples hardening under my lips as never before. Her thighs tightened on Francesca, who fought to keep her place, tongue flickering to draw out the last moments of delight.Finally Beth subsided, chest heaving, eyes wide. "Oh, my, goodness," she managed eventually. "That was,”Francesca moved up to cradle Beth's head softly against her breasts. "For me, too."She placed a soft kiss on Beth's hair. "And now I know another of your little secrets."Francesca breathed in, her chest rising. "I think I too would enjoy, at the proper moment."Beth stirred in her arms. "Oh, I think we could oblige."She pulled out of Francesca's embrace, lying back again. "Ready?"Francesca slid across Beth's body, kneeling with her parted thighs offering access to her intimate place. A drop of clear liquid splashed down, and Beth caught it on her lips. "I think more than ready," she murmured.Beth cupped Francesca's breasts in her hands, then imitated something I knew she liked when I did it, pulling Francesca's nipples gently away from her body with pinched fingers. Francesca gasped, flexing her hips, and Beth took the hint, burying her mouth in Francesca's wetness.Francesca looked over her shoulder at me, her face betraying the ecstasy she was already feeling. "Come do whatever you want to me," she invited.I moved behind her, feeling Beth's fur gently tickling me as I lowered myself onto her body. My fingers explored Francesca from behind, feeling the movement of Beth's tongue close to my fingertips.Francesca gasped as I slid fingers into her, leaning forward a little, exposing her pink star to my view. I moistened a finger with my tongue, then used it to brush softly across her other opening. Her reaction was a moan, "Oh, more, “ and I pressed my finger a little more firmly, the tip now surrounded by a ring of smooth muscle.Francesca tilted her head back, her breasts pushed into Beth's caressing hands, her hips flexing, and I heard her begin to gasp with each thrust of my fingers inside her. "Oh, so good, Um, più forte."I felt the first tightening of her muscles on my fingers as she cried out unintelligibly, then I thrilled as her pink star contracted, rippling visibly as evidence of her climax, the tip of my finger squeezed repeatedly as Francesca's whole body shook.I withdrew from her carefully, and she slid from Beth's body, her eyes unfocused. "Oh, again new, and more,”She laid down on her side, Beth tenderly stroking her hair. "Rest now, darling."I joined them, one arm under Beth's head, the other stretched across to embrace Francesca, and closed my eyes, letting the warm sun lull me to sleep,When I opened my eyes, the sun had passed its highest point, and I leaned across to kiss Beth. "I'm beginning to wish we'd brought something for lunch."Beth rolled her eyes, grinning. "All you ever think about."She glanced towards the door through which we'd entered the garden. "I think I saw some strawberries growing, they must be from when this place was used."I got to my feet and walked along the border. Here and there, red berries peeped out from under the foliage, and I gathered them as I went. When I returned to the blanket, Francesca was sitting up, and I offered her a strawberry. "Um," she smiled, "sweet."We shared the fruit, but as we reached the last couple of berries I closed my hand. "Ah-ah, I have an plan for these."

"It wouldn't be the first time."I watched as their hands began to explore one another, Beth's fingers brushing over Francesca's nipples, eliciting a gasp, and Francesca raised her arms so that Beth could lift her dress over her head. Today Francesca wore a barely-there thong, and Beth watched her face with an almost wanton expression, fingers tugging the filmy fabric into Francesca's most sensitive place while Beth's mouth returned to her nipples. "O dio," Francesca breathed, her hands cupping Beth's breasts. "Let me touch you also."Beth slipped the straps of her dress off her shoulders, letting it slide to the floor, then moved to kiss Francesca again, fingers tangling in her hair as Francesca sought the clips of her bra, finally releasing them. Francesca carefully laid aside the lacy garment, then touched her tongue to each nipple in turn. "Um," breathed Beth, "let me lie down."She lay back, hands behind her head, and Francesca returned to her nipples, suckling one then the other softly. She paused to glance at me, eyes dancing. "You can help, no?"I caught Beth's eye. "One down," she grinned with a raise of her eyebrows, then parted her lips in a soundless moan as I bent to her breast, Francesca's mouth already busy on the other. "Oh god, that's good."Beth parted her thighs as Francesca's fingers explored upwards, meeting the soft cotton of her panties. "So damp," Francesca whispered. She hooked her fingers through the elastic, and Beth lifted her hips to let Francesca slide her panties down and off. I felt myself stir as Francesca deliberately lifted the soft cotton to her face, tonguing the moisture Beth had provided. "Um, sweet.""Oh, my breasts again," begged Beth, and I glanced at Francesca as my mouth returned to Beth's nipple. "Greedy," Francesca teased. "I know soon you will want something else."Her words proved true as moments later Beth flexed her hips upwards. "Please,”I watched spellbound as Francesca moved down, kneeling between Beth's feet and leaning forward. Francesca buried her face in Beth's fur, breathing in deeply, then Beth's eyes widened as Francesca used the tip of her nose to explore lower, brushing her nub. "I hope you're taking notes, Tim," she gasped.Francesca threw me a grin, then took a deep breath, blowing gently on Beth's most intimate place. Beth's response was a frustrated sound, almost a growl. "God, 'Cesca, touch me again."Francesca relented, bending to place a soft kiss, then dab with her tongue. She hesitated, then carefully slid two fingers into Beth's opening, her tongue beginning to brush Beth's hard nub more insistently.I shifted position so that I could continue to use my mouth and tongue on Beth's breasts while still watching. The muscles under the smooth skin of Beth's stomach began to tense, and I paused to lean down and whisper in Francesca's ear, getting first a widening of her eyes in surprise, then a nod of understanding.I renewed my attention to Beth's nipples, and watched Francesca continue to use her mouth, her fingers thrusting gently as Beth clenched her hands on the blanket.Francesca's eyes met mine, and I nodded. She slowly withdrew her fingers, her tongue still moving insistently on Beth's nub, and again I saw the telltale tightening of muscles that betrayed how close Beth was to her release. "Ready, darling?" I queried, and Beth nodded wordlessly.I held my breath as Francesca moved a slippery fingertip a little further back, and gently touched the center of Beth's other opening. Beth's response was immediate, a cry of ecstasy, her hips shuddering, her nipples hardening under my lips as never before. Her thighs tightened on Francesca, who fought to keep her place, tongue flickering to draw out the last moments of delight.Finally Beth subsided, chest heaving, eyes wide. "Oh, my, goodness," she managed eventually. "That was,”Francesca moved up to cradle Beth's head softly against her breasts. "For me, too."She placed a soft kiss on Beth's hair. "And now I know another of your little secrets."Francesca breathed in, her chest rising. "I think I too would enjoy, at the proper moment."Beth stirred in her arms. "Oh, I think we could oblige."She pulled out of Francesca's embrace, lying back again. "Ready?"Francesca slid across Beth's body, kneeling with her parted thighs offering access to her intimate place. A drop of clear liquid splashed down, and Beth caught it on her lips. "I think more than ready," she murmured.Beth cupped Francesca's breasts in her hands, then imitated something I knew she liked when I did it, pulling Francesca's nipples gently away from her body with pinched fingers. Francesca gasped, flexing her hips, and Beth took the hint, burying her mouth in Francesca's wetness.Francesca looked over her shoulder at me, her face betraying the ecstasy she was already feeling. "Come do whatever you want to me," she invited.I moved behind her, feeling Beth's fur gently tickling me as I lowered myself onto her body. My fingers explored Francesca from behind, feeling the movement of Beth's tongue close to my fingertips.Francesca gasped as I slid fingers into her, leaning forward a little, exposing her pink star to my view. I moistened a finger with my tongue, then used it to brush softly across her other opening. Her reaction was a moan, "Oh, more, “ and I pressed my finger a little more firmly, the tip now surrounded by a ring of smooth muscle.Francesca tilted her head back, her breasts pushed into Beth's caressing hands, her hips flexing, and I heard her begin to gasp with each thrust of my fingers inside her. "Oh, so good, Um, più forte."I felt the first tightening of her muscles on my fingers as she cried out unintelligibly, then I thrilled as her pink star contracted, rippling visibly as evidence of her climax, the tip of my finger squeezed repeatedly as Francesca's whole body shook.I withdrew from her carefully, and she slid from Beth's body, her eyes unfocused. "Oh, again new, and more,”She laid down on her side, Beth tenderly stroking her hair. "Rest now, darling."I joined them, one arm under Beth's head, the other stretched across to embrace Francesca, and closed my eyes, letting the warm sun lull me to sleep,When I opened my eyes, the sun had passed its highest point, and I leaned across to kiss Beth. "I'm beginning to wish we'd brought something for lunch."Beth rolled her eyes, grinning. "All you ever think about."She glanced towards the door through which we'd entered the garden. "I think I saw some strawberries growing, they must be from when this place was used."I got to my feet and walked along the border. Here and there, red berries peeped out from under the foliage, and I gathered them as I went. When I returned to the blanket, Francesca was sitting up, and I offered her a strawberry. "Um," she smiled, "sweet."We shared the fruit, but as we reached the last couple of berries I closed my hand. "Ah-ah, I have an plan for these."

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery interviews Stephanie Cesca about her acclaimed novel, Dotted Lines (Guernica Editions, 2024) which has been named a finalist for the Rakuten kobo Emerging Writer Prize. Dotted Lines is a powerful and binary-breaking story that explores the complexities of families, bringing to brilliant light the vital but underrepresented perspective of a non-traditional family where the step-father is the hero, and it's the person who owes you nothing that gives you everything.  Abandoned as a child, Melanie Forsythe seeks stability and belonging after her mom's boyfriend is left to raise her. Despite her raw deal, Melanie grows up to have a good head on her shoulders and a strong bond with her stepdad. But her dream of having a family of her own is shattered when she suffers tragedy and betrayal. Still, the relationship with her step-dad—the one that's illustrated with a dotted line in her family tree—ultimately inspires her to create the life and family she wants. “As a family dissolves and reunites, Cesca's seamless writing traces the unpredictable ways in which those we love stray and return to us throughout our lives. Clean and understated, Cesca's novel reveals the complicated layers of an unorthodox childhood through compelling characters willing to open themselves to new truths.” —Ibi Kaslik, author of Skinny, New York Times Bestseller About Stephanie Cesca: Stephanie Cesca was born and raised in Toronto, where she lives with her husband and three children.

Today,  Morgan is back on the podcast after being affected by Hurricane Helene. We can finally discuss If I Were You by Cesca Major, a novel that we were supposed to discuss two weeks ago. So this will be fun... About The Novel: From the author of Maybe Next Time comes a funny and emotional read about a couple struggling in their relationship who accidentally swap bodies on their way to a family wedding weekend. Amy and Flynn have been dating for two years. And they love each other. Don't they? Only Amy can't read Flynn's mind and Flynn can't read Amy's. Little do they know this weekend is make or break. Amy's nervous older sister is getting married at the world's swankiest wedding venue in rural Devon and is relying on her younger sister to be the perfect Chief Bridesmaid. Frustrations on the way to the wedding escalate until both Amy and Flynn are shouting at each other in a country lane during a thunderstorm. Why can't they see things from the other's point of view? When lightning strikes, Flynn and Amy are thrown to the ground, and when they stand back up they realize—they've switched bodies. Forced to attend the glamorous wedding weekend as each other is surely an impossible task. With spa mornings, exes, flash mob rehearsals, speeches and more, getting through this swap will test their relationship to breaking point. And when they each discover big secrets in the other's past—it seems that switching bodies could be the least of their problems. Even if they do manage to swap back—can their relationship survive?   Donate To Those Who Were affected by Hurricane Helene and Milton:  United Way Care Donation For Food, Clothes, and Meds Donate To Florida Donate To North Carolina Check Out Our Other Socials Here!

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.01.10.523252v1?rss=1 Authors: del Puerto, A., Marti-Prado, B., Barrios-Munoz, A. L., Lopez-Fonseca, C., Pose-Utrilla, J., Alcover-Sanchez, B., Cesca, F., Schiavo, G., Campanero, M. R., Farinas, I., Iglesias, T., Porlan, E. Abstract: In the adult mammalian brain, neural stem cells (NSCs) located in highly restricted niches sustain the generation of new neurons that integrate into existing circuits. A reduction in adult neurogenesis is linked to ageing and neurodegeneration, whereas dysregulation of proliferation and survival of NSCs have been hypothesized to be at the origin of glioma. Thus, unravelling the molecular underpinnings of the regulated activation that NSCs must undergo to proliferate and generate new progeny is of considerable relevance. current research has identified cues promoting or restraining NSCs activation. Yet, whether NSCs depend on external signals to survive or if intrinsic factors establish a threshold for sustaining their viability remains elusive, even if this knowledge could involve potential for devising novel therapeutic strategies. Kidins220 (Kinase D-interacting substrate of 220 kDa) is an essential effector of crucial pathways for neuronal survival and differentiation. It is dramatically altered in cancer and in neurological and neurodegenerative disorders, emerging as a regulatory molecule with important functions in human disease. Herein, we discover severe neurogenic deficits and hippocampal-based spatial memory defects in Kidins220 deficient mice. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that Kidins220-dependent activation of AKT in response to EGF restraints GSK3 activity preventing NSCs apoptosis. Hence, Kidins220 levels set a molecular threshold for survival in response to mitogens, allowing adult NSCs to proliferate. Our study identifies Kidins220 as a key player for sensing the availability of growth factors to sustain adult neurogenesis, uncovering a molecular link that may help paving the way towards neurorepair.

This week we're joined by Cesca Echlin and we're doing something a bit different. Infamously, Boris Johnson's chief political advisor Dominic Cummings broke lockdown rules to drive his wife and son to a cottage in the grounds of his parents house in Durham. He subsequently broke the rules further with an eye-sight-testing trip to Barnard Castle. A month later, he was caught out by the media and sat down for a press conference in 10 Downing Street's rose garden. That press conference is what Cesca has brought us to stage. We dig further into writing a piece around a true-story for the stage, as well as the usual discussions around space, music, casts and more.Read up more on the story around the press conference here.Let us know what you thought of the episode on social media or email in.Twitter/Instagram: @maybeulikeitFacebook: @maybeyoulikeitEmail: info@maybeyoulikeit.co.ukCaleb is on twitter, instagram and letterboxd @caleblebsterJake is on twitter and letterboxd @jakereeshCesca is on twitter @cescagathFind out more about us at https://www.maybeyoulikeit.co.ukMusic is from Kavana CrossleyMaybe You Like It, Maybe You Don't Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Behind the Screen Series: The Lightbenders, Part 1 In this special sub-series of Third World Cinema Club, we take a look at the people involved in film production, whose work audiences see and feel on screen, but might not know about. For this episode (and in celebration of International Women’s Month), we talk to two cinematographers: the people responsible for capturing the images we see on screen. Sleepless (2015) Tey Clamor is responsible for some of the most beautiful films in contemporary Philippine cinema. She has collaborated with directors like Prime Cruz, creating the lush cityscapes seen in films like Sleepless (2015) and Ang Manananggal sa Unit 23B (2016). She has also done work in TV in series like Angelito: Ang Batang Ama. For her work, she has received several nominations from award-giving bodies such as FAMAS, the FAP awards, and the Star Awards for Movies. She garnered Best Cinematography for Ned’s Project (2016) at the Cinefilipino Film Festival. Mga Anak ng Kamote (2018) Cesca Lee made her debut as cinematographer in Elwood Perez’s Otso (2013), but she already has an impressive body of work. She has collaborated frequently with director Joselito Altarejos, creating the surgically precise frames of films like T.P.O. (which garnered her a nomination for Best Cinematography) and Tale of the Lost Boys. She is also cinematographer in Carlo Enciso Catu’s mindbending Mga Anak ng Kamote (2018), creating that film’s peculiar visual style, and the visual dread in films like Kenneth Dagatan’s Ma (2018) and Derrick Cabrido’s Purgatoryo (2016). Tey and Cesca talk to us about the collaborative process involved in creating images that move us, their most well-known work, the challenges facing women in the industry, and helping break the glass ceiling with their own hands. notes: This episode was recorded in Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Tomas Morato, QC. *On the Basis of Sex.
