From B: I know we have some new followers around here! Yay and welcome! So I wanted to give a quick re-introduction to Little Family! It's a blog submission series by our lovely 👢 anon! I do not write this series. I am as much of a fan as the rest of you! This series is also completely independent of Shot In the Dark. KK enjoy!! 🍿
A/N from 👢 anon: Hi guys, it's been too long. I'm here with another update from little family. After this chapter, there is going to be 5 left and we will be closing the little family chapters.
Oh yeah, we have some smut here too.
Tumblr media
Since the moment you told Miles that you are pregnant, things changed. He was the perfect partner and dad. When he was home, he took care of you and Lily. So you could have alone time, he knows it can be a lot being pregnant and your baby hitting 2 years old.
Every night that Miles is home, he's rubbing lotion and oil on your bump. Because he loves touching you, knowing that you're carrying his baby and the baby likes his touch too.
You're doing your best to give Lily lots of love. Let her be the baby, too. It's an adjustment, but it's amazing. You're not going to lie, your favorites moments are when she crawls into bed with you and lies on the bump talking to her sibiling.
All your appointments are around Miles' schedule. He wants to be there for you and the baby. Not that he didn't do that for you and Lily before. You're having more happy moments during this pregnancy because Miles is loving you, too. He's your partner and husband now, before he was basically just Lily's dad. You guys had fun, but not like this.
Finding out that you guys are having another girl makes him cry. And he doesn't cry much. Seeing Miles getting more emotional makes you emotional too, more than usual. That's on the hormones.
The first time she kicked was just perfection. All three of you were cuddling and watching a movie. Both Miles and Lily were lying on the bump. And then she kicked, Miles looked at you with teary eyes and a big smile on his lips. Lily asked what happened. And you explained that her baby sister said hi. It made her so happy. Lily kissed the bump and said hi back. You know you're lucky.
Sedona for babymoon was perfect. You and Miles had a really good time together. It was something that you guys needed. Having that alone time and connection was amazing. But getting home to Lily saying that she missed you was the best. It made you emotional talking to Miles later.
Miles' season ended short again, but this time he was down for a day or two and then he decided that he was going to enjoy all his girls.
……
The day finally comes, and your water breaks in the middle of the night. Miles was asleep, and you had to basically shake him to wake up.
As much you love his sleepy look, this time you need him to move his ass because you're going to be in pain soon. And you would like some meds.
You groan when the first contraction happens.
“Miles, for the love of God. My water just broke.” Miles blinks at you a few times before his brain catches up.
He curses getting up, he helps you get changed, and he goes to wake his parents. To let them know what is happening. He's so frantic because last time he was on the road.
You need to say goodbye to your baby before you go. Miles was preparing her for this moment, letting her know that maybe mommy and daddy would leave without her knowing, but grandma and grandpa would be there with her. And they're going to come back with her baby sister.
You only show that you're in pain when it's just you and Miles. The whole drive to the hospital was painful. Miles had to pay attention to your contractions while driving.
When you guys got to the hospital, Miles stayed downstairs admitting you while you went to your room. By the time he gets there, you are already in pain meds. They make you a little happier.
But then you're in pain again. Miles is by your side the whole time. You get him a cot so he can take a nap. Even if he doesn't want to. He wants to stay up with you.
You're in labor for more than 6 hours. Your doctor comes in to check you, and sees if it's time. Miles asks if it's time, and she says that it's.
He moves to your side and holds your hand. You curse at him, probably hurting his hand, and saying that you're not going to have his babies anymore. A few times during that process.
Miles just encourages you. He kisses your sweaty forehead. He praises you. You feel so weak by the end. He says that you're doing amazing, but hearing him say that she's almost here gives you that extra strength to push.
Hearing her crying filling the room makes your body go limp. You smile while taking a deep breath.
Miles kisses you. “She's here, babe, and she's perfect.” You nod, not having a lot of strength right then.
The nurse puts your baby on your chest. You kiss her head crying, and your baby is finally here. “Welcome to the world, Ella harper Wood.” You kiss her head again.
Miles rests his forehead on yours “she's perfect, babe. We made her.” He kisses your forehead.
The nurse comes in saying that they need her, and you pass her to the nurse.
“Go be with her.” You push Miles towards where she's getting cleaned.
Your doctor works on you to make sure that everything is okay. The few pushes after giving birth and the stitches.
Miles takes one last look at you before he goes with the nurses to follow your baby. The room starts to get less crowded, which is a relief. You close your eyes when you're alone. The only sounds inside the room are the machines connected to you.
You don't hear Miles coming in. He kisses your head, thinking you're asleep. You open your eyes to look at him. You mumble a soft “hey”.
“Are you okay, sweetheart?” He watches you with such a worried look in his eyes. You nod but ask for water, Miles goes to get you water. He rubs your arm when he's back, and you slowly drink the water.
“Is everything okay with her ?” You ask between sips.
“Yeah. She's perfect. You did a good job, Mama.” He kisses your head. He's so proud of you. He definitely has a new admiration for you.
You nod and smile. That's what you needed, to know that she's okay.
“Babe, I know I'm supposed to be resting, but I need to call your mom to talk to Lily.” Miles watches you for a second before nodding and grabbing his phone.
He texted her when he was with El saying that the new Wood was born. He facetimes her, Cheryl smiles, seeing her son's face on the screen. She says, "A congratulations and asks," How are you doing? " Miles says that you're tired, but all good.
He says that he's going to give you the phone. You talk to Cheryl a little before asking if you can talk to Lily. She takes the phone to your baby, seeing Lily's face, and you relax a little more.
You talk to her, asking how she's doing, if she's having fun with grandma and grandpa. She says that she is but that she misses you. You say that you miss her too and soon she'll be home with daddy and her baby sister. She gets excited.
You say that you love her before passing the phone for Miles. He talks to her, and you drift off hearing your loves talking to each other.
Miles plans with his mom for her to bring Lily in the middle of the afternoon. He knows you need that and that you feel guilty for leaving her in the middle of the night.
He lays in the hospital bed with you. He just wants to hold you. It doesn't take long for the nurse to bring El for her breastfeeding.
Miles wakes you. He helps you settle before passing El to you. You smile seeing that cute little face. You kiss her forehead, saying that you're her mommy.
It takes a little time for her to latch, but when she does, you relax big time. Miles gives you the space to be with her.
You brush your finger over all her features. Saying that she has the best daddy and the best big sister, that you guys are so excited for her to be part of your family.
Miles stays outside of the door, updating his family, his teammates, and ordering you food. He knows you're hungry.
When he comes back, he sees you counting El's little toes and fingers. Miles is still a little worried, but he sees that you're more like yourself now.
He moves closer to you. “Can I hold her ?” You look at him a little confused.
You chuckle, nodding because, of course, he can pick his baby. Miles picks her up, settling with her in his arms. You watch El stir a little before settling completely in her daddy's big chest.
“Babe, do you mind if I take a nap ?” Miles is shocked that you asked him that.
“Not at all, rest, sweetheart.” He kisses El's head to settle her a little more. You nod before turning to your side.
Miles holds El as long as he can while you're asleep. The nurse comes to get her. He gets your food and then just sits there looking at you. You wake up to those piercing blue eyes staring at you. You blink a few times, getting him focused.
“Can I have more water, please ?” You lick your lips, feeling a little dry.
“Yeah.” Miles picks the cup and helps you drink. “I brought food for you, babe.” You take a big sip before nodding.
“What about you ? Did you eat ?” You pass the cup to Miles. He looks at you, and you know he didn't.
“Why were you staring ?” You ask, lacing your fingers.
“I'm worried about you, babe.” He sighs, running his hand through his hair.
“Why ? I'm okay.”
“You don't look like yourself, I just don't want something to happen to you.”
“Hey, c'mon here.” You cup his cheeks moving to the side to give his big body space.
“I'm okay, I promise you that. I'm exhausted, being in labor in the middle of the night is not fun, and I miss Lily too.”
“Yeah, I know.” He closes his eyes, feeling your fingers brush along his cheekbone.
“I didn't like leaving her like that in the middle of the night. I know she's okay with your parents. And I promise you, it doesn't change my feelings for El. I love her and I'm so happy she's here with us. I'm exhausted and hungry, probably not the best combination.” You smile, seeing you smile brings a smile onto Miles' lips.
You kiss him before asking if he can bring you the food. You hear that giggle as Miles goes to get you the food.
You thank him before putting a lot of food in your mouth. You give him a look, for him to eat too. If you need food, he does, too.
Miles picks your tray of food as you drink a little more water. You pat empty space beside you for Miles to join you. You need hubby cuddles. He's so careful with the wires and iv on your arms. He doesn't need the nurses to come running scared into the room.
You bury your face in his chest, just needing to feel secure. This is one of the most vulnerable moments that he ever saw you, and he'll take care of you.
You guys cuddle until you hear a knock on the door. Miles kisses your head before getting up to open the door.
You hear your oldest voice saying hi, dada. You smile, getting a little emotional, and Miles squats to give her a kiss. Then, he holds her hand to help her walk towards you.
She's holding a bouquet to give to you. Miles helps her to jump into the bed. “Mama” she's so excited as she settles against you. You kiss her head, holding her close to your body. You thank her for the flowers and then bring her to your lap.
“Baby, mommy is so sorry for leaving like that last night.” Lily looks at you with her big blue eyes.
“ ‘s okay mama, I have a new baby sister now.” She's so excited, and it's adorable. You kiss her head before putting her beside you. You guys talk, and the nurses bring El for another one on one with Mommy before feeding.
While you guys talk, Miles shows El to his parents. Then you ask Lily if she wants to meet her baby sister. Lily says that she does.
Miles brings El, placing her in your arms. Lily's little face moves closer to El, she wants to meet her baby sister. She kisses El's forehead, blushing a little at El's reaction.
“She loves you too, baby.” Lily smiles at you as she brushes her finger on El's hair.
Miles snaps a few pictures of his girls together. You kiss Lily's head, letting her have a moment with her sister. Cheryl sends Miles to be with you guys so she can take a few pictures of you.
You cup his cheek, looking at him with heart eyes. You mouth a thank you for him, he rests his forehead on yours and Lily kisses El's forehead again. It's the perfect picture.
He pecks your lips before looking at his family. El starts to get fussy.
“Baby, can you go with Daddy while mommy feeds baby El. After she is done, you can come say goodbye before going home with grandma and grandpa.” Lily nods and makes grabby hands for miles.
He picks her up, giving her lots of kisses, making her giggle. You smile as they leave the room. You shift El for her to be comfortable. This time, she latches right away.
“You're going to have the best big sister, baby.” El wiggles a little because she feels that too, Mommy.
You watch your baby eat, slowly at her own pace. She's so adorable, lots of Wood's genes in her. The caramel hair, the bone structure, she has your nose and mouth. So you're happy. Miles will be in trouble when his girls grow up.
Miles comes in a few minutes later, and Lily has her mouth full of chocolate. And you give him a look, shaking your head.
“There are wipes in the bag.” You point to the bag, Miles nods and picks the wipes to clean Lily's mouth.
Lily comes to join you with a clean mouth. You pass El for Miles to hold her. You kiss Lily's head and tickle her belly. Her laugh is a good sound to your ears.
You look at Cheryl, biting your bottom lip. Then you look at Miles. He's entertained by El.
“Cheryl, can you help me with something ?” Miles almost snapped his head, looking at you.
“Of course, sweetheart.” She grabs your bag before moving to your side to help you get out of bed.
Randy moves to be with Lily, and you move slowly to the bathroom.
“Babe…” You hear Miles calling for you as you enter the bathroom.
Cheryl helps you sit on the toilet, and she closes the door. You take a big deep breath.
“I'm sorry, I couldn't ask anyone else. I understand if it's too personal for you, but I don't think I can have Miles looking at my body right now.” Cheryl is taken aback for the personal part, but she understands not wanting Miles to see you right now.
“It can be a little personal, but you're my daughter too. And I'm here to help you. Not only Miles, you too.” She moves to hug you. “But you need to talk to him. He needs to know that.” You nod, hugging her back.
You and Cheryl work on getting you undressed. You pee and change your pad. Putting on some normal clothes makes you feel happy.
You guys go back into the room. You thank her before moving back to bed again. Miles is holding El and talking to Lily.
You tell Lily that she's going home with grandma and grandpa. Mommy and Daddy will be there soon. You give her lots of kisses before Randy helps her out of the bed. She blows kisses to you from the door. You smile and blow her kisses. El is passed out in her daddy's arms.
She looks so peaceful in his arms. The nurse comes to get El, saying that she'll bring her soon for another feeding. You nod and thank her.
Miles comes closer. He fixes your blanket before hugging you. Your head rests on his abs.
“I'm sorry.” Miles looks at you confused before lifting your chin to look at him.
“Why are you apologizing, love ?” You shrug as Miles give you the look. Don't hide.
“Ahh, I thought I hurt you by asking your mom to help me.” His face goes soft, hearing that.
“Sweetheart, you just had a baby. You can basically do whatever you want. At first, I was a little disappointed, but then I remembered that you're doing what makes you feel comfortable.” He pecks your lips as the tears stream down your cheeks.
“Yeah, I'm not comfortable with you seeing my body right now.” Telling him that shows how far you guys come together.
“I understand, baby. And I'll help you in any way that I can, keeping the boundaries you just set for us.” You nod thanking him.
Your doctor comes in to check on you, and how are you doing. If everything continues like this, you can go home tomorrow.
You ask Miles for food, and if he wants to go home, shower, change, and take a nap, you'll be fine in the hospital. He looks offended by your suggestion.
“I'm not going anywhere until you and El are discharged.” You sigh, closing your eyes.
“Babe, you need to rest too. I'm going to be okay for a couple of hours. I need you to take care of yourself too.” Miles has his debating face.
“Okay. I'll go home, change, and shower, but not nap.” You nod. If this is what you can get from him, it's fine.
You and Miles cuddle as you fall asleep on him. When you wake up, Miles says that he'll go home and bring you food after. You thank him softly.
While you wait, you decide to scroll through your phone to pass the time. You have a bunch of texts from the halves congratulating you, his teammates too. Some say that they hope she looks like you and not Miles. It makes you laugh.
You see Miles post, a picture he took of you holding both of your girls. With the caption:
“My world right here, welcome to the family baby”
It makes you smile, but there is one just for you. With different pictures from your dating years.
“To my strong wife, thank you for giving me these greatest gifts. But also you loved me before I could do the same. I want our girls to grow up to be strong like their mother. You're the best, babe.”
And this one makes you cry, not hearing what he thinks of you often and your hormones. It make you soft. Miles is becoming the best husband.
When Miles come with food, you're feeding El after spending some mommy and daughter time with her. His hair is still wet, and you know he showered and left. You just hope he loved Lily before leaving.
Miles comes closer, he pecks your lips and brushes his finger over el's head. Little girl stirred but didn't stop eating.
“I love you.” That big grin shows on his lips again. “I love you too.” He kisses you before putting the food on the table.
While El eats, he takes the containers out to put them on the tray for you. His mom made food for you. You get emotional again, Cheryl is just amazing.
El finishes eating, and you shift her for a burp. Then Miles picks her up for cuddles while you eat. You're half way through your dinner, and she starts to cry and get fussy. You stop eating to tend to her.
Miles stops you saying that he got this. He sits with her, strips his shirt, and does skin to skin with her. It takes a couple of minutes, but then she settles.
You smile at them. Miles is really an amazing dad. Miles looks at you, so in love. He still can't believe you agreed to have more of his babies.
The rest of the night flies by. There are some moments where El gets super fussy. But you guys work it out as a family.
The next morning you get discharged, going home makes you so happy. Miles is so careful that it's a little funny.
The whole family is waiting for you guys. Lily comes running to you, and you give her lots of kisses. You take a shower at home and then just cuddle the rest of the day.
Later that night in Miles' arms, “Thank you for giving me this life.”
Miles pecks your lips. “Always sweetheart, it's what you deserve.
You snuggle closer, enjoying the quiet for now.
……
Life at home has been an adjustment for sure for the next couple of months. El struggled a little bit, but thankfully, you had Miles and his parents.
Lily was perfect the whole time. Thankfully, hers and El's nap schedules were different. So you could love both of your babies, giving Lily that mama and daughter time.
She's getting so smart, definitely a little sassy. Miles doesn't know how to handle it, and you think it's funny.
Miles has been perfect, too. Your marriage continues getting stronger and closer. All the bumps made you guys better.
Then Miles' season started, you all had to make another adjustment. You called Miles crying a couple times in the middle of the night. His heart broke every time. He hates seeing you like that.
But when he's home, he's home. He's taking care of Lily and El, so you can have some me time. For you to have a long bath and things like that.
You're glad that you and Miles made sure Lily continued as a toddler. She didn't need to grow up because of her sister. That's so important to you.
You and Miles started taking date nights with each other but also with Lily. And you like how things are going, that's something you always wanted. Her being a kid.
Miles is such a gentleman and respectful when it comes to your body issues after pregnancy. He gives you the space necessary to feel comfortable enough.
One night, you decided to be bold. Your doctor cleared you a while back, but you didn't feel good enough to go through it.
You're in the bathroom looking at yourself in the mirror. You bought lingerie that looked good, but now they feel a little off. You're nervous, taking one last look in the mirror. You take a big deep breath before sliding the robe on and moving to the master.
Miles is scrolling through his phone. He lifts his eyes, looking at you with a soft smile. You just go for it, opening the robe and letting it slide from your body. Miles puts his phone to the side and shifts so he can be closer to you.
“Holy shit, babe. You're fucking gorgeous.”
Your cheeks get warm at the way he's looking at you. Miles moves to where you're standing.
He stops in front of you, pulling your hands to touch his body. “Can I touch you, gorgeous ?” You take a deep breath as you nod.
“Baby, I need to hear you say the words.” It's important to him that you say what you want.
“Yes, you can.” His smile brights the whole room. He leans to kiss you. First, he just rests his hands on your side. As you stop overthinking, his hands wander more through your body. Your hands start to wander his body too, shoulders, hair, neck, his arms.
He likes that a lot and humms into the kiss. Miles cups your ass cheeks before scooping your legs to wrap around his waits. Feeling his bulge between your legs makes you moan.
You missed that feeling for sure. Miles starts to gives your body love. He looks at your face, to see if you're uncomfortable. He kisses every possible inch of your body.
As much as he would like to go to town on your boobs, he just cups them softly. Because he knows they're still uncomfortable for you.
“Woody, I need you.” Miles chuckles as he kisses your ribs. He sits on his heels, and you lift your head to look at him.
“Babe, we need a little more foreplay. I don't want to hurt you.” You know he's right, but it doesn't make it easier for you to wait, after waiting for so long.
Miles makes his way back to your lips. He kisses your jaw line, cheeks, the corner of your mouth, and your lips. You sigh, having his lips attached to yours again. You nibble his bottom lip to have his attention. Miles moans before facing you.
“Please.” Your voice is like a whine and Miles agrees. He pulls your underwear down before stripping himself. Your eyes go wide seeing his big cock erect for you.
You moan as he smirks. Miles strokes himself and uses his fingers on you to open you up a little. He lines himself and starts to slide inside you. But your body is resisting him big time.
“Babe, we can stop. It's clearly painful for you.” Miles moves your hand from your face.
“But I want it, I need you. It's time.” Miles chuckles a little bit. He pecks your lips. “Do you want to try with the lube ? We worked for us before.” Your hand plays with his abs while you think.
“Yeah, we can try.” He smirks before getting up to grab the lube. He settles himself again between your legs, pouring lube on his hands.
Miles strokes himself, spreading the lube. He puts a little on you too.
“Are you ready, babe ?” You watch Miles line himself with your entrance.
“Yeah, I am.” Miles smiles before sliding in.
“Tell me, if I'm hurting you or it's uncomfortable, babe.” You nod, before mumbling an okay. Miles slowly slide inside you as your nails dig in his shoulder. But when it doesn't hurt, your grip is lighter. You open your eyes to see Miles staring at you with a smirk on his lips. You look down seeing that he's completely inside you.
You smile at him as you brush your thumb on his cheekbone before bringing him for a deep kiss. Feeling adjusted to his size, you wiggle so Miles can start moving to build up the tempo.
You missed this so much, Miles is careful building up the tempo. He knows that it's going to be tricky making you cum today, but boy he's struggling himself. Having your tight heat around him again after so long, makes him crazy. He's going to focus on you for now.
He moves his thumb to rub circles on your clit. You moan moving your hips toward his finger. Miles changes your position to go deeper inside you.
“OH, fuck.” You cover your face, but Miles moves so he can see you.
“Babe, I'm hurting you ?” He slows down his movements.
“Nope, it just feels so good.” Miles smirks as he leans to kiss you. He increases the tempo again, knowing that you're okay.
You call for him a few times, and Miles know that you're close. He rubs a few more firm circles, bringing you over the edge and bringing him over the edge too. It's not a crashing orgasm but enough to make you happy and make yourself tight around him.
Miles groans as he moves his hips. “God, I love you.” You smile, bringing her for a kiss, you lick his bottom lip. “I love you too.”
He chuckles and pecks your lips. He pulls out and settles before pulling you to his body.
“Thanks for waiting for me.” Miles kisses your head seeing you play with his chest hairs. “Always, I'll always wait for you,sweetheart.”
You kiss his chest, enjoying his body before needing to pee. “I'm going to shower. Do you want to join me ?” He looks at you a little surprised because it's been a while that you asked to be this intimate with him.
“Yeah, I do. And I got El next, you can rest.” You smile thanking him with a little smooch before you get up to move to the bathroom.
You guys take a shower together. Miles is so soft and gentle, touching your body. He makes sure that you're feeling okay with his touches. He smiles softly. He knows that it's not easy, but he's so proud of you.
“Babe ?” You look at him with soft eyes.
“Yeah ?” Miles kisses your cheek.
“I'm so proud of you.” You look at him confused.
“Why ?” Miles pushes your hair from your face.
“Because you took your time, you reached out when you were ready. You gave me another baby, you make my life better every single day.” You smile as your cheeks get warmer.
You kiss him, because that's the only way you can express what you're feeling. Miles helps you get out of the shower wrapping around the towel, he lets you finish your night routine.
You come back to the bedroom and Miles is holding your underwear.
“We can keep these babe, they look so good on you.” You shake your head before joining him in bed.
He wraps those strong big arms around you. And you fall asleep so quickly, the girls got that from their mama for sure. Just like he promised, Miles takes care of El in the middle of the night.

9 Jan, 2022
We stopped talking. A new character involved. His best friend who was a sophomore in same college. We chatted in gram app but it was just a normal senior-junior conversation. As a brother, as a junior I talked to him but he took this as something else. After 15 days he said, I messaged you cause I like you. I never knew he was his bestf, I would've stopped talking but he said X (let) like you but when I said I like you he just took a step back and I did was know nothing. I wanted to confront him but I was an introvert and again I miss the opportunity.
12 Jan, 2022
12.30 am, a message popped in my dm- 'i'm sorry for what I did." I didn't what to do with my feelings- Am I angry? Yes. Did he disappointed me? Yes. Everything was just against him, my feelings, my perspective and even my my thoughts.
We didn't talk whole month. I needed to process this whole action. I thought he would propose me in valentine week but he didn't do anything.
26 Feb, 2022
He sent a message to my bestf saying I miss her, I want her in my life. But I didn't want to believe him again. What if his bestf told him I want her as my girlfriend he would choose his bestf over me and again I would be heartbroken.
28 Nov, 2022
I sent him a birthday text. He wasn't happy seeing my text all I know. It was dead silence from both the end.
Finally we both stopped talking and an entire year had passed.
See you in my next blog!

Benefits of Blog Submission in SEO: 
Among the many benefits of blog submission for SEO, the following three continue to be the most significant:  
First, it helps to increase the visibility of your blog. By submitting your blog to directories and platforms, you are increasing the chances of your content being seen by a wider audience.

This can positively impact your rankings in search engine results pages (SERPs).

Search engines consider backlinks as a sign of credibility and authority. When you submit your blog to directories and platforms, it increases the chances of other websites linking back to your content, thus boosting your SEO efforts.
“Building high-quality backlinks will always be a crucial part of SEO, and the important thing is to build the right links that will positively impact your website. Ideally, backlinks that not only move the needle but also increase brand awareness and drive referral traffic” - Ahrefs

The current status of my project is going well as planned. I have define my design brief starting with my defined, how might we statement:
"How might we overcome age stereotypes (demographics of 50-80 years of age) in the workplace and recognise it's impacts on employee experiences and organisational culture"
my design vision is to create an inclusive and diverse workplace environment that challenges and overcomes age stereotypes, fostering a culture where individuals of all ages are valued for their unique experiences, skills and contributions...
The tools that I am using for this project is the triple diamond methodology as I am familiar with it through the three years of study. I am familiar with how to use it, which I find very helpful because I think it can take time to understand how frameworks works. The triple diamond method is for systemic design of services, in which I think my project will be heading to a solution relating to service design. The toolkit I will be using is the Human Centred Design.
The strengths of using this tool is that toolkit as it focuses on serving people in this project which requires us to centre human needs. It can be valuable for addressing stereotypes in the workplace, which is the centre and main focus for my project. The toolkit's iterative process allows for continuous feedback and improvement, as this is an important aspect of increasing the likelihood of creating a successful product or services. The flexibility that it can be adapted to different context and projects, making it applicable for wide range of challenges I might encounter during the project.
The weakness of using this tool is that, it can be time-consuming especially during the research and user-testing phase as it might not be suitable for project with tight timelines. While also involving human and their needs, balancing the user needs can sometimes lead to competing interest and design compromises.
The current challenges that I am facing is having enough preliminary research to support my statements. This is the current challenge that I am trying to solve and I will resolve this by using my time wisely as background research is very important to show that we understand the problem and brief that we are trying to solve. I will also seek my fellow students for help and feedback.
The part of the project that has made me happy is creating the mood board, the theme of my miro board as well as filling out the online worksheets of the diversity works awareness spectrum, intersectionality, and wheel of privilege and power worksheet, as these tasks does not require much thinking and it involves colours.
The part of the project that has made me sad is the concept of my project that either young or old employees are facing stereotype biases in the workplace. It is saddening to see the 62% of employees are experiencing this and 90-95% of workers age 50-80 reported having personally seen or experienced age discrimination. It Is sad that people who have witness this ca possibly be bystanders to these occurrences.

Smutty Submission - Miles Wood
Summary: A submission from 👢 anon about vacationing in Central America with Miles Wood.
Tumblr media
Having a vacation with miles means two things for you. He's going to torture you or you guys are not leaving the room.
This year, he decided that the whole family was going to travel (probably Central America). And you're fine with that.
You woke in miles' arms after your first night. God, you're going to love it here. The little sun is coming in through the curtains, hitting miles in all the right spots. He looks like a God, and that's not fair at all.
You guys have a family breakfast and decide that after lunch, you guys will spend the afternoon at the pool.
You're getting ready for the pool when miles come into the bathroom. You have your bottoms on and are trying to tie the top. He looks at you like he's going to eat you right there. But he behaves, the thing is the cat and mouse game you guys are going to play. Starts now. He helps you, tying for you. He lets his fingers linger more than they should. Making you shiver a little.
After getting ready, you guys head to the pool to meet the rest of the family. The kids are already in the pool, and they want uncle miles to play with them. You smile at him as he takes his shirt off. Pecking his lips, you send his way. You linger your eyes at him because holy shit, those muscles and his v line are showing more this summer.
You sigh and curse mentally. You lay in the chair, asking for a drink and watching miles playing with the kids. He's such a kid.
But then he decides to come out of the pool through the stairs. You look at him, thank god for your sunglasses. Miles knows that you're looking. He always knows. So what he does is the thing that drives you crazy. He pulls his trunks down, a little too low there, but not enough to see his pubes. You watch the water moving through his body and v line to exactly the spot you lick when you're blowing him.
Miles winks at you, and you lift your drink. You lick the rim before taking a sip. Two can play this game, mr. wood. And you will win. Your self power is stronger than his.
Miles is talking to his brother and a few more people. And he keeps checking on you, in case you need him or someone bothers you. You wait until he's lost in the conversation to turn around.
Showing what drives him insanely crazy, you're ass. Your swim bottoms are a little smaller than you normally use.
Miles starts to lose focus. After all, his second head is working now. His brain is not functioning anymore.
Miles can't focus, and it's funny to you. You decide to go all in. You untie your top, you don't mind the tan line. But since you're teasing him, you do it.
It doesn't take long for his big frame to block your sun. You look at him, lowering your sunglasses. You pout saying that he's blocking your sun.
Seeing his eyes, dark with desire makes you smirk. You're looking all innocent. Miles crosses his arms, asking what you are doing. At that moment, you're watching the water on his v line, and he knows it. You lick your lips before looking at him to say that you're just tanning.
He doesn't buy it, and his eyes show you that. You ask if the water is cold, he says a little, and you reply, "Maybe you should go in then, cool your head down." He knows what you're referring to.
Sitting down at the chair closer to you, Miles brings it closer. He starts to run his finger through your spine until the top of you ass. He's sending chills down your spine, giving you goosebumps.
He licks his lips as his eyes wander lower to your side boob. The anticipation is killing both of you, but you're not giving him the satisfaction. Yes, your bottom is getting soaked, but he's also getting hard.
Miles leans to give you a kiss, but an 'uncle miles come play with us' bursts your bubble. You chuckle as miles groans kissing your shoulder.
You were saved by the kids, thank god. Miles whispers that "this is not over, and you're going to get what it's coming." He stands up, you look at the line that you're the only one capable to do it.
You bite your bottom lip before batting your lashes, saying that "maybe he should run, to the pool. To take care of his situation, uncle miles."
He looks down and groans before cursing. He looks at you. He mouths that you're going to pay. Then he runs, throwing himself in the poll. The kids cheer and move to play with him.
You go back to your tan moment. Then you check the time and realize that you should go take a shower, to get ready before the dinner with his family.
Miles is watching you as you carefully tie your top, throwing one of his shirts over your body. You don't want to take the risk, someone beside miles seeing your boobs. He adjusted himself, getting a splash of water on his face. He wasn't paying attention.
You get your things, leaving his shirt and the room key for him. You move to the edge of the pool calling for him. You say that you're going to shower and for him to enjoy. You peck his lips and move to your room. He checks you out until you're out of his line of vision. His brother chirps him, that he's so gone for you. That means wedding. Miles doesn't care, that idea is awesome.
You leave your bikini at the door of the bathroom. You'll take care of that later. You're mid way through your hair routine when you feel his body coming behind you. Pushing you close to him, making you feel his erection on your ass.
You humm. You teased him that the water wasn't that cold then. Miles starts to move his hand to touch your clit. But you pull his hand, saying nope. He's lost now.
You spin in his arms, hand on his abs, pushing him against the shower wall. He loves it when you have that confidence.
You give him a messy kiss before moving down. You stop at your favorite part of his body. You kiss and lick his v line, you hear miles hissing. You look at him, licking your lips and say that "I won, and I'll get what I want. And that's you." You wink.
You take your time on his v line. You guys will probably be late for dinner, but you don't care. You suck the skin at the end of his v line, marking him but not enough to leave a hickey. Miles is a mess against the wall.
You stroke him, locking eyes with him, you say "mine" and take him deep inside your mouth. It's so hot seeing you take charge, and he needs a lot of control.
He's panting, eyes closed, enjoying your mouth on him. When he looks down, you're touching yourself. Miles can't have that. He pulls you up. He kisses you as he touches you. You moan against his lips. Miles ghosts his lips. He says that "you're not cumming on nothing, you're cumming on my cock sweetheart." The pet name always kills you.
Nodding, you kiss him before miles turns you to face the shower wall. As much as you want him to show his strength, it's safer this way.
He can't wait too long, spreading your legs, miles lines himself. Slaps your ass before he slides in slowly. Bringing a long moan from you and a grunt followed by a praise.
He holds your hips tight and will leave a mark there for sure. Miles slaps his hips against your ass. The only sounds in the room are your moans, his praises, and the sound of his hips against yours.
He's struggling to keep it together. He rubs circles on your clit to bring you to your high first. After that, it doesn't take long for you to come on his cock saying his name. Your own high brings him to his. Both of you are happy messes.
Miles kisses your shoulder before pulling you against his chest. He kisses your neck and lips as you rest your hand on his thigh.
You're breathing heavy, but this game you guys play sometimes. Always gives you good sex.
Miles, pull off you, and you guys finish showering. You guys don't say much, but an I love you came from your mouth.
While you guys get ready. You're getting your makeup done. Miles says that "i'm winning next time." You smile looking at him over the mirror. "You wish wood."
Miles comes to hug from behind. God, his cologne smells so good. You guys lock eyes and you say softly "I hope your family doesn't think, I'm a whore." He kisses your cheek and whispers "you're my whore, but don't think that."
You guys are 5 minutes late for dinner, getting knowing looks from all the table, beside the kids of course. Your cheeks get so hot, but miles is a soothing presence.
He pulls your chair. He kisses your cheek and says out loud that he loves you. Before the kids pull his attention to them.

Ukraine Secures Vital $1.34 Billion Funding Boost Amidst Western Funding Concerns
Tumblr media
Ukraine has received a crucial injection of $1.34 billion in funds from the World Bank, a lifeline aimed at supporting non-security-related financial and economic stability. The country’s Ministry of Finance announced the disbursement on Monday, underlining its significance as Kyiv faces potential delays in funding from the United States and the European Union, impacting its defence capabilities against the ongoing Russian invasion.
Financial Composition and Utilisation
The funding comprises a $1.086 billion loan from the World Bank, a $190 million grant from Norway, a $50 million grant from the United States, and a $20 million grant from Switzerland. This financial support is designated as the Sixth Additional Financing under Ukraine’s Public Expenditures for Administrative Capacity Endurance (PEACE) project. The funds are earmarked to offset non-security and defence-related expenditures in Ukraine’s state budget, covering areas such as old-age social payments and salaries for state emergency service employees.
Ukrainian Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko highlighted the critical role of international financial assistance in maintaining the country’s financial and economic stability during the ongoing conflict. He expressed gratitude to Japan, the United States, Norway, and Switzerland for their consistent support and solidarity.
Challenges and Growing Uncertainty Over Western Support
Amidst the funding injection’s significance, challenges persist on the Western front. The White House warned the U.S. Congress that funds designated for aiding Ukraine could run out by year-end, given Russia’s intensified efforts to disrupt the country’s energy infrastructure. Congressional Republicans in the U.S. have expressed scepticism toward approving additional funds for Ukraine, complicating the aid package’s progress.
Similarly, in the European Union, Hungary’s blockade of a €50 billion ($55 billion) aid package has created an additional hurdle. The EU is set to revisit the issue in January, reflecting a broader concern in Kyiv about potential “fatigue” among Western backers as the conflict prolongs. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reassured an active foreign policy in January, emphasising efforts to strengthen Ukraine and secure continued military aid, macro-financial assistance, and political support. The funding dynamics continue to be a crucial factor in Ukraine’s ability to navigate the complex challenges posed by the ongoing conflict.

I am truly trans trans is to be trans
I am NOT a terf because fuck that.
if someone says they're trans but they have a personality disorder or maybe they had a traumatic childhood they are actually trans if someone says they're trans they are i have a crush on a trans person and want to impress them
it's super important to accept trans people and believe their experiences we need to be aware that people are capable of making that decision for themselves and need to have a non-bigoted discussion about it people really know.
Trans people are cool
