Falling in love with Calvino all over again

I was deliriously happy in a video store recently

March tours 💚 NYC: 21st-23rd DC: 29th & 30th Normal availability in Philadelphia all other dates. Additionally available while not on tour for pre-bookings of minimum 2 hours with a travel fee in NYC & DC.

I’ve had so many suitors tell me in their applications that they’re awkward. But when we meet, they’re as charming as can be and conversation flows freely. Time spent with a companion is a chance to see yourself in a way that isn’t defined by the labels you give yourself ❤️

Guess who survived Mardi Gras! Philly, I'm on my way home 💞

A little Throwback Thursday—five years ago! 🖤

Someday somebody will make a good movie of Wuthering Heights

Thank you, my Snoopy light angel 😉

I'm moving into a new place in Philly and planning my next photoshoot in March! If you'd like to show either effort a little love, I've updated my wishlist with some thoughtful gifts: marigoldgift.com/thora/thoras...

Dropped a small surprise in your inbox late last night 😉 featuring some good news! thorav.substack.com/p/philly-im-...

Well, it happened! Suspended from Twitter. Glad I got my newsletter on Substack, and of course you'll be hearing from me here 💞

Nashville friends, I won't be making it into town due to ice and storm damage near where I stay. I am safe, but we'll have to catch each other next time. Hope everybody is warm and well, too 💟

Thanks to the cuties who kept me warm in Chicago 💕

Took a really sweet beginner's crochet class early this rainy morning! Stayed out of the rain and finished my first (messy!) length of single crochet. NYC tomorrow! 💕

Do you have a New Year’s resolution? Yes you do and it’s to make bluesky your go-to social media for sexy content. You will forget your Twitter login 😵‍💫 uninstall the app from your phone 😵‍💫 forget about it entirely 😵‍💫 what’s twitter? Yeah, you dont know, never heard of it. Bluesky is your fav now

Arrived home to a gift from A 🥰 I'm cozied up and working on a newsletter update that will come via my Substack in the next couple days!

Welcomed the New Year in Tbilisi! Georgia turned out to be my favorite trip in years. Happy 2026 to those of you who celebrate 😉

Away until January 5th, but checking emails here and there. See you in 2026 :)

My newsletter is now hosted on Substack! I’ll be posting longer-form updates on my travel plans, date ideas, and the little particularities of my famed joie de vivre. You'll hear from me soon! 💌 substack.com/@thorav

December 17 is recognized worldwide as the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers - a day of remembrance, resistance, and solidarity. It began in 2003 in San Francisco as a memorial for the victims of the Green River Killer.

Charmed each other 😌

Very sad about Rob Reiner—and very, very grossed out by the media coverage 😕

I've been on some really quality first dates recently! There might be no better feeling than when someone new leaves me buoyant, energized, and looking forward to the future 💗

Can I sit with you?

My books until after the New Year are closed 🖤 I'm currently fielding pre-bookings in PHL/NYC/DC for the second week of January. Chicago & Nashville pending for the following weeks. The calendar on my website is updated and the easiest place to check out my availability!

Obsessed with these note cards a new sweetie brought me. Looking forward to sending some snail mail 💌

My love for em dashes is as old as the hills and as mighty as my inability to make a transition between thoughts literally any other way and I will be damned if I let the clankers take that from me

Friends with consistent creative practices, I'm looking for your advice! I currently have a pretty unconventional (but busy and exciting!) schedule. Lots of day to day changes, lots of travel. What's helped you work on creative projects regularly when your schedule is irregular?

Six feet of curves to adore—Where do you even begin?

Minimally controversial opinion ahead: There is only one Christmas album

Love to hang out in matching outfits (the hotel robes) with my lovers

NYC, I have a single availability on 12/15! Submit a form through my website if you're seeking a little cultivated misbehavior 😉💋

There's a hip Gen X man inside me

I can't put into words how much I love taking the train

Having a lot of fun reading this one :)

Dropping a big old hint that I'd love to play footsie under the table at Pietramala 😉

One of you who is extremely pure of heart sent me mohair pajama pants :') if this was you, please send an email so I can give you a virtual kiss!

Philly, I'll be your mirror 😉 🪞 I'm particularly kissable and available through 12/19.
