Reminder: Bisexuality means attraction to two OR MORE genders. It's an inclusive umbrella term, y'all.

I hope all my fellow bi babes had a good #BisexualAwarenessWeek and I wish you a very safe and fabulous #BisexualVisibilityDay 🩷💜💙✨
Over a background of the bisexual pride flag (pink, purple and blue) are two photos: on the left is David Bowie as Jareth, the Goblin King in ‘Labyrinth’, and on the right is Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley in ‘Aliens.’ Text reads: “How was I meant to be anything but bisexual with these two running around?”

Excerpt from Thistlewood House by Robin Pine. A screenshot of a page over a moody floral background. Text reads: “His lips give under mine deliciously, softer than I thought they’d be. His fingers creep up into my hair, tugging gently at my scalp, sending a shiver of pleasure up my spine. My grip bites into his shoulders as I sink against him, clutching his jacket in my fists. When his body relaxes and his mouth slants deeper over mine, I can’t help releasing a faint whimper of need. He breaks the kiss and pulls back to peer up at me with wide eyes. “I’m sorry,” he says. “I dunno what I was thinking. The moonshine might have gotten the better of me.” “What?” I gasp, breathing hard. “No, I— I want this.” But he stiffens and backs away. “I can’t, Rye,” he says, regret filling his eyes.”

I made a cheeky little game! "Buy a Book Boyfriend: Moody Cottagecore Edition." If I had to pick only 5 (I want 'em all), it'd be: a, b, e, g, and j. What about you?

A text-based game for readers. Over a dark background of green leaves, text reads: "Buy a Book Boyfriend. Moody Cottagecore Edition. Each item is $1. You only have $5. What do you spend it on?" Then, below, more text reads: "a. Lives in a cottage in the woods. b. Bakes bread or makes jam. c. Has a cool animal companion. d. Is a professor or historian. e. Can rock a sexy waistcoat. f. Makes a mean cup of tea. g. Wears slutty little glasses. h. Owns a pocketwatch or walking stick. i. Writes stirring, romantic letters. j. Has a cozy reading nook."

When I’m overwhelmed by the state of the world, it helps to watch my son discover something new. This kid loves exploring nature & refuses to squash a mosquito that’s biting him because he doesn’t want to hurt it. I just imagine all the ways he might change the world & feel hope again. 💖 #autistic

The blurb for the "Thistlewood House" novella, over wood grain background. Text reads: "OLIVER Thistlewood House is my life. I always knew I would return to my hometown of Willowburn to run the historic museum. It’s my safe place, where I always know what to expect. What took me by surprise was how the place never quite bounced back after the pandemic. Now it’s just as beautiful as it’s always been, but attendance is down and the former monastery is at risk of being forgotten. Until I find explicit sketches proving the long-rumoured clandestine relationship between the famous Friar Randall and the local physician. This is just what the museum needs to make a fresh splash. Now I just need the right art conservator to restore the sketches for display. RYLAN Oliver Wicklow was my dream man back in university. But I was scrawny and painfully shy then, so I never made a move. Since my Dad’s accident, most days he doesn’t remember who I am, and I’ve been stressed and lonely in a way I never imagined. The care home is bleeding me dry, so when Oliver contacts me out of the blue to assist with an important restoration, I jump at the well-paying gig. But the blunt, resilient, enigmatic man I remember is even more alluring now. And with each day I descend into his historic little world in the woods — and feel a strange sense of belonging with the other “Thistles” who work here — I risk getting so lost I won’t be able to find my way out again. And maybe… I won’t want to."

One of the MCs from my current mlm WIP is a cute, hobbity trans man with AuDHD and a small town museum to save, and I love him. 😭💖 This story's got moody cottagecore vibes - here's a snippet:
#WIPWednesday #wip #amwriting
Screenshot of text from my work in progress novella, which reads: "When I step outside into the grey afternoon, I sigh in relief. The air is wet and refreshingly chilled, settling into my bones in a way that’s comforting in its familiarity. Within moments, I’m past my cottage and surrounded by old growth forest. Twisted roots and damp earth and mushrooms. I like being out here among the wood rot, the bugs and the moss. There are no expertly cultivated blooms like the ones in Thistlewood’s gardens. Wild ferns and stubborn seedlings pepper the forest floor. Lichen clings to the trees and a thin layer of natural decay blankets the ground. Nothing is perfect and it’s all beautiful anyway."

Text reads in sky blue then pink: Happy Trans Day of Visibility. Beneath, an illustration of four people of different genders joyfully dance together holding hands in pretty pastel colours. One has an artificial leg and one has vitiligo (a skin condition that causes loss of pigmentation in patches). Pink stars and blue flourishes around them add to the air of celebration!
