eating is passe as a metaphor for overconsumption

people are buying dinosaur skeletons at auction and just shoving them in warehouses, because they CAN. that's fucking gluttony.

gluttony is a ceo who has spent more on cosmetic surgical procedures than the gdp of a small country, an executive who owns original rembrandts and keeps them in a private showroom where no one can see, an heiress who has her breakfast flown in by chartered jet from her favorite parisian cafe

you can always start masking again if you’ve stopped. it’s fine, good actually.

said it before and I'll say it again: if you can copy/paste any couple into a sex scene, then it's not a good sex scene

Faine Monroe doesn't understand what’s happening to her, but she knows: 1. Vampires are real 2. The vampire Verris might be able to save her She uses the only tools she has—her body, her blood—to make a pact. Now, all she has to do is survive. Read Bloodbound: alilyflower.itch.io/bloodbound-a...

While cancelling Nitro is all well and good, just a reminder that age verification itself won't go away as a whole unless KOSA, the SCREEN Act, and tons more are buried and done with. Please contact your reps if you don't want this to spread to other platforms.

Sorry to vent on main but I'm just so sick of being a grown-ass adult online who can't openly enjoy talking about or drawing sex stuff even in completely adult spaces where all minors are completely banned just because everyone has gotta be such fascist controlling fucking babies about it

I know times are absolutely bonkers rn, but if you have $22 bucks to spare and want to spend it on getting 22 sapphic books (including mine!), there's currently an Itch bundle going until Valentine's day. Don't miss out!

butches,

Me: Wow I wish I had more friends in my city Also me: I have decided to stay in and not go to an event where I could make friends because its cold

We're making great sales on this bundle, if you've been wanting to buy, don't miss out on your chance! the bundle is live for another week. Grab some hot sapphic stories to cuddle up with this Valentine's day <3

This fight still needs fighting

I'll start with my own, Bloodbound. Bloodbound is about lesbian vampires with themes of identity, autonomy, and control. Come for the lesbian sex, stay for the prose????? Four parts are currently available. It's free to read on Payhip and Itchio: linktr.ee/lilyflowerbo...

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

The Sapphic Stories Bundle is still ongoing! Don't miss out on these incredible titles. If you've already read Beyond Bringers, I highly recommend @authoralexharvey.bsky.social's A Sharper More Lasting Pain and @alilyflower.bsky.social's Blood Bound. You can get all of these and more for $22

I think one of the things that I'm finding the most challenging about learning to draw is understanding what I'm supposed to do, but being unable to make my hand do it. This like is normal I'm sure but it feeds right into disability stuff and the whole thing ends up way more emotional than it should

Tapping the sign

not to be all "I need money" but if 4 people get a copy, I can cover a phone repair :')

Hi new folks!
