I’m really hoping to get into Skylight, but feel rather perplexed so far. Regardless, please do follow your favorite creators via their email lists! And if you’re a writer or other creative, make sure to have and prioritize that list. It’s one thing I wish I’d started far sooner. ❤️

Some peaceful morning vibes from Via and me ❤️

A favorite recent memory with my Mom:

We were having brunch out and the server asked about her necklace.

“It’s a Bible and contains verses,” my mom replied. “And my daughter is wearing a vibrator!”

She said that proudly, which said so much. 💜 @lovecrave #MothersDay

I know there are more important things going on in the world, but also the other day my dog ran into my leg (my fault) and left a self-portrait. #bruisesky #miracles

"Part of supporting a society in which sex is celebrated, [is] also supporting the right to choose, & the agency to have sex or to not have sex." @thelilithfoxx.bsky.social augustmclaughlin.com/celibacy-wedding

My parents got married on April Fool’s Day, 50+ years ago. There was a snow storm & they were locked out of the church. My mom made her gown, & she & my dad did a lot of the cooking. I still sometimes call and find them “on a date.” So fortunate to have them & still witness their love. 💕

So Meta can pirate sexuality books (among millions of others) while the actual creators get blocked/restricted for posting about sexuality. 🤔 🙃

I love this gem from Susan Morgan Taylor. 🔥 Her story of learning to claim this idea (which changed her life) is so important. augustmclaughlin.com/susan-morgan-taylor/

A lovely view from our post-rain walk. 🌅

What even is sex? What happens when you go from ashamed of your limited experience to others' shame over your spicy career? How can we *all* embrace our desires?

My partner & I were displaced before the fires, due to a burst pipe + repairs. Especially since we have a parrot (even cooking w/Teflon is lethal for birds), AQ when moving back in was our top priority. Some vet-approved practices we used that may help if you’re near #wildfires or evacuation zones:

Jann told me she still talked to Harold, though he died over 20 years ago. She believed they would meet again and spend eternity with their many cherished pets. I like to picture her doing just that. 💕 💫 🐾

When I’m dysregulated, little helps as much as a good hike. The sunset views with this one were such a bonus. 💫

Hey all, happy to be here! I’m hoping it feels like my walk view this morning compared to the other app. ✌🏻
