In my twenties, I really hated my body. Dealing with body dysmorphia, I just couldn’t get my brain to change how I thought about myself. I thought I was sickly thin, I avoided the beach because I didn’t want people to see my body. I always wore jumpers, and never exposed myself in front of others.

I’ve been so dickstracted today. In need of someone with a firm hand, full weight on top of me, maybe pull my head back a little with my hair, maybe a hand around my throat…😈🙈

Just casually relaxing underwater.

The author has perfected the art of the slasher and “Killer on the Road” is a prime example of that. Killer on the Road is a High stakes game of cat and mouse with a bad ass main character in Harper. I was immediately pulled in with a shocking opening chapter #read #books

This was a fun read. Highly recommend. It was intriguing, compelling and I just couldn’t put it down. Written in an interview style way, from the perceptive of the band members and people who have worked with the band or has crossed paths with the band. #read #books

Today was a great day. Sun, my favourite nude beach, ocean felt great. More days like these please 🙏🏽

Not my house but I know my way around.

I want to thank the incredibly sexy @fitnessat17now28.bsky.social for this recommendation. Confessions of a Mask tells the story of Kochan, an adolescent boy tormented by his burgeoning attraction to men: he wants to be “normal.” Beautifully written, an exploration of queer loneliness. #read #books

2026 will be the year I work smarter and not harder. I will continue to read more great books. Watch good movies. Be a theatre goer. More great sex. Passion. Intimacy. Connection. Exploration. Toe curling. Tactile. I will need to be ravished. Travel more. #goals

The prequel to ‘They Both Die in the End’, told through multiple perspective but mostly follows Orion and Valentino. They are real and deep and you can’t help but become invested in their story. This takes us back to when Death cast is being introduced and the first call is made. #read #books

This wasn’t bad. Mars-Jones sketches a gay Dom/sub relationship with great sensitivity, insight, and originality. The narrator’s family life is also richly described, and the time period (largely 1980s). Despite its brevity the novel covers a lot of ground. I think it was too brief. #read #books

Getting a bit distracted 😏

By one of my favourite authors. If you love a popcorn movie, that is entertaining, fun and quite the ride, this is for you. I love Sam Speedman, a detective with a brilliant mind and a different way of seeing things. He sees what others have missed. Highly recommend this. Bring on the sequel #read

Beholder by @ryanlasala.bsky.social This book takes you on a journey of family, love and discovering one's self. All the while reflecting these images back at you. What do you see in your own reflection? It is quite difficult to describe this book without spoiling it, so just go read it. #read

This was a fun read, almost like a popcorn movie. This was a smart, campy slasher thriller and half an examination of the horrors of queer loneliness. #read #books

A lesbian vampire novel that pre-dates Dracula by 25 years. It follows Laura a secluded lonely girl, who befriends a beautiful woman, who preys exclusively on other attractive young women. You can see just how much this novella inspired Dracula, and the lines that he took from this. #read #novels

I know how I’d prefer to spend my Sunday

Loves this collection of poetry. The prose is achingly beautiful, I would inject this in my veins if that was possible. Intriguing, powerful, honest, the various forms that the poems take shape in to get across the themes. Highly recommend #poetry #read

Spent the weekend reading this. When a bake-off show is crashed by pro wrestles things turn into chaos. This chaos is further exacerbated due to an infected batch of donuts that turns the wrestlers into zombies. This was a fun read, almost like a popcorn movie. #read #books

My current read. This is a great coming-of-age novel. The way the author captures young infatuation, and in the age of online dating, looking to others to find a sense of worth, attractiveness, was brilliantly captured here. A portrayal of some unhealthy ways we approach attraction. #books #read

A little bit bored this Sunday morning.

A lazy Sunday

New book. Reflections on the guillotine, against the death penalty and it became important for the movement to abolish capital punishment. #camus #books

Sad tiger by Neige Sinno, incredibly profound memoir about the devastation of one’s childhood at the hands of an adult. Part memoir, part literary criticism and about the power of literature.

Early morning stretches. Feeling a little tight…

It’s that type of morning….feeling certain way…needing something to help…

Got a bit of reading done. Loved thief, brilliant novel. It follows three young people in Tanzania, a coming of age story in post colonial Tanzania. Little Rot was quite the ride. Set in the underbelly of a Nigerian city. It follows 5 friends as they navigate this world of sex and power. #books

Final night in Vietnam. It’s been an experience, but I would definitely be back. Sleepover in my room 😈

I definitely could use a massage.

Was stuck in a typhoon. Streets were flooded. That was an experience. Love experiencing something new

It’s that kind of day. A massage would be great!

Preparing for Practical Magic 2.

Quote with a photo where your booty is looking extra plump 👄

Finished this today. The story follows 3 timelines from Malika’s life, showing how colonialism and poverty changed her. The third part of the book I just absolutely loved. And really at the heart of the book is about acceptance.

Trying something new. Not sure how I feel about it yet. What do you think?

The morning glow. Things are starting to warm up here. So excited.

There are rivers in the sky by Elif Shafak. This is my current read. Can’t recommend this author enough. She is a master storyteller. Very engaging and beautifully written.

The sun is out, it’s warm, life is good. Can’t go wrong with a good book #read

Just being lazy. Bored. 😴

Bed time 💤

Easily distracted when I need to get ready for work

My first Zadie Smith. She really knows how to tell a story. The language was impressive, there were parts I enjoyed more than others.

2 week of great reads. Loved ‘Light From Uncommon Stars’ really engaging sci-fi/fantasy. Aliens, donuts and the violin, what’s not to love. Highly recommend ‘If We Were Villians’ was recommended to me. Really enjoyed the Shakespeare element to this novel. What are you reading this weekend? #read

Would anyone like to join me?

Ass up! Early morning sun

The biggest scam is this idea of a career. I want to be in bed, to be naked all day

A few good books I’ve read over the past couple of days. Some poetry. Knowledge is power.

I have the winter blues. I am ready for winter to be over. I need sunshine and warmth

This was a fun read. Found the storyline to be original and engaging. About newlyweds who launch a social media platform. As they experience success, their marriage faces growing challenges. Ultimately about a woman taking ownership of her voice and understanding her power #read

This was not for me unfortunately. I didn’t care for it, didn’t care for the characters, a little insufferable. I struggle to get into the way this is written. I do have to say, the narrator of the audiobook is amazing, he did a brilliant job, found it more enjoyable to listen to. #read
