Ok orders received! Although, to be fair, @reverenceintimates.bsky.social took this particular thirst trap, which is why it's ART, too (and I'm so incredibly grateful, this was part of a very fun shoot that challenged me to try something I've not really done before). 🤠
Black and white photo shows Emily, a white non-binary person with very short hair, standing under a shower. They are topless and holding a straw cowboy hat over their chest.

The world is shit but this picture @reverenceintimates.bsky.social took of me while glamping is incredible. Please enjoy.

Grateful to have friends who prioritize queer joy & silliness in the midst of a lot of hard work/times. All credit to @reverenceintimates.bsky.social for the incredible photos. Queer Polyamorous Bridgerton: Season 2
Four people stroll arm-in-arm thru a grassy field. Two are dressed as dapper Regency-era gentlemen, in top hats and tailcoats. The other two are beautiful Femmes in flowy dresses. A gentlethey bites their fist in barely suppressed longing as they feed a cupcake to a buxom woman. Four people sit at a picnic table, toasting with crystal glasses. They are dressed in Regency-era clothing and situated in a grassy meadow between oak trees. The gentlethey in top hats and tailcoat kneels in front of a woman in a flowing dress and holding a parasol.

(1/?) 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁? 🤫 99.9% of the people you think are wildly confident merely 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 confident (sometimes for years) before they actually 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 confident. And that's freeing, isn't it?

Black & white image of a Black woman with short curly natural hair in a larger body, wearing a mesh playsuit, twirling a large flogger. She has on black glasses and dark lipstick, and is smiling saucily at the camera. There is a black censor bar across her chest that says "This is beautiful art."

I love photographing folks in front of this insanely beautiful backdrop. It lends a renaissance feel to every subject!

A Latina woman with dark brown medium length hair and black lipstick is in a sheer black string bikini top and g-string. Her tattoos are visible. There is a faint outline of trees behind her on what appears to be a dark olive background, and a faint halo around her head. She is in motion and her head is tilted back slightly and she is smiling.

An image of a white woman with dark brown & grey hair wearing a light orange waffle henley long-sleeved tee and a gold necklace. She is mid-laugh, and her eyes are closed and she is tilting her head back as she laughs and her hands are in motion. The background is dark behind her.

I think a lot of people have mutual aid confused with charity on here, maybe because folks most often see it in the context of fundraiser asks (which are great!).

I want to talk a little about what it looks like in everyday life.

Because we need it more than ever. Government is getting shredded.

An image edited in a retro style of a white non-binary person with short grey hair wearing a regency-era style outfit including top hat, a Black woman with short black curly hair in a larger body size wearing a fancy old-fashioned dress in greens and pastels holding a white lace parasol, and a white woman with brown hair wearing a peach colored old-fashioned dress holding a bunch of lavender. They are in front of a prairie with trees visible in the background.
