what you won't do, do for love ⋆⟡.₊⋆˙♫⋆

Congratulations NYC! May working class solidarity continue to trump cultural divides and may the circle of safety, dignity, autonomy and belonging grow ever wider ♡

Ideally, every date would feel like a scene from Charles Schridde's 1960's Motorola ads—minus the notable absence of color ₊⋆˙✦ ݁⋆

if there's a cure for this, I don't want it @cedar-parker.bsky.social @wondrashoots.bsky.social

beauty is a frequency ✦₊⋆ ~ the only @goddessgiafox.bsky.social

without positive obsession, there is nothing at all ~ Octavia Butler, Parable of the Sower, 1993

paying for intimacy isn't a sin, but time wasting is ~ psalm 3:33 ♡

shapeshifting back into my truest form ✦₊⋆˙⟡

though it's hard to remember when you're in it, suffering is a door. love doors. —luce bella rossi ✦₊⋆

Directness is such a turn-on. Lay it on me, babe. I can take it. All of it.

bless our love and sapphic friendship bless our aging, beautiful bodies bless our poetry, past + future bless our lineages and ancestors bless our path toward ever more awakening ✦₊⋆⟡ ~ excerpt from a note my dear friend Luce wrote me today

it is easy to forget to appreciate the ephemeral gifts of a strong, healthy body, a duty-free morning, a young green month anointed with the fragrance of jasmine and other icons of spring, a three-quarter moon that keeps on filling, pinned between two bodies so bright they must be planets ✧

that time me and @cedar-parker.bsky.social recreated @soeymilk.bsky.social's painting 'Earthlings' w/ the one and only 📷 @wondrashoots.bsky.social ⋆˚✿˖°

Haven’t we learned yet that love that moves us into action is the only way we survive? ~ June Jordan via www.instagram.com/khalilsfriends

Who else is participating in the general global strike today in solidarity with Gaza? ✰

I think often of Audre Lorde's essay Uses of the Erotic where she distinguishes between the erotic and the pornographic, writing that "pornography is a direct denial of the power of the erotic, for it represents the suppression of true feeling. pornography emphasizes sensation without feeling" ✧

James Baldwin wrote "perhaps home is not a place but simply an irrevocable condition" and this never feels truer than upon returning to my current home in California after spending a big pocket of time "back home" on the East Coast ╔══ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══╗

trying to take advantage of all of the beautiful spaces I get to pass through

Pittsburgh! Do any photographers want to collaborate with me? I don't have a space, but I'll be here til 3/28 and could shoot anywhere in the city ✰

imagining life as my sister's cat, spending my days napping, grooming, sprawling in pools of sunshine and watching the world go by from my third story apartment in Crown Heights ✧

as a white girl from the east coast, it's a biological imperative to get naked anytime it's over 60° and sunny outside

I'll be in Brooklyn til Tuesday! Please send your recs for strip clubs, cocktail bars, vegan cafes and restaurants, city hikes, views, thrift stores, art galleries, museums, etc. ♡

I'm packing to visit New York City for the first time in over a decade and can't stop thinking of Cat Power's cover of Liza Minelli's New York, New York and @ellestanger.bsky.social's iconic, covid-era dance to this song ✰

life is too short to be insincere

in a 1975 interview with Maya Angelou, James Baldwin said "all I know about human life is if I love you, I love you. and if I love you and I duck it, I die." this goes for not only who you love, but what you love, because who and what you love is what you are ✦

think of it this way, you could either be successful or be us ♫⋆♪₊˚♡ @cedar-parker.bsky.social

Just finished the most comical and sexy shoot with @lilycandid.bsky.social ✨
