With Running Close to the Windy by @alexandrarowland.bsky.social coming back as of yesterday, it's important to remember all other teams that aren't the Magnificent Sea Turtles are by default the absolute worst.

And have lesser spreadsheets not created by @meridianriver.bsky.social.

I had the honor of winning @cdckrescue.bsky.social’s t-shirt design contest for National Pet Giving Week! I adopted my cat Squirrel from this rescue back in 2023 and am so grateful to them for bringing my best friend into my life. ❤️

there's sort of an inverted bell curve effect with websites where you can buy stuff, where' there's Normal Store like target or whatever, and then a lot of stuff where it sketches you out, and then there's a website that is so incredibly bad that it's obviously the Most Legit Specialist Company Ever

If you're a LGBTQIA+ artist, crafter, creator, editor, writer, etc (anything at all, really),

drop a link for your goods and/or services here so people can find you. I want to drive funds in your direction.

Do any fellow #queerwriters make playlists for their characters? I kinda want to try it but also the urge to give all of them my same music taste is very strong (even though in reality none of them would listen to the same music as me)

I decided to make my own 2025 book bingo boards! One challenge is more general, and one is for romance books specifically.

The general book bingo was heavily inspired by Politics and Prose on insta, and the romance bingo was inspired by the Sapphic Book Bingo created by @jaeauthor.bsky.social

It's finally done! 🤍✨

I've tagged and archived ALL 670+ of our free pose references! These are the references you see me post to socials, including our Pinterest.

This library will be updated each pack launch, and more filters will be added. It's just a little library for now, but she'll grow.
