Rebuilding calluses is probably the worst part of getting back into playing stringed instruments, but my desire to learn mandolin is currently winning over the numbness in my fingerips

Is there anything that says "two spectrum kids in love" more than a morning of sorting books? (That's right, I'm talking about you, @harpomarxist.bsky.social 😘)

As one of the few people in my immediate group of non-monogamous people with a kid, I often get to be people's favorite MILF by default.

Happy day to us, fellow MILFs!

There's something so fulfilling about hanging out at an explicitly queer brunch spot that's also a neighborhood institution. It really is for everyone, and I love that.

If recent experience is any indication, I have officially reached "need to stretch before and after sex"-years old

One of my favorite things about The Kid being a pre-teen is that he's currently obsessed with MST3K and it's one of the easiest obsessions to indulge

Look at this dummy. Eyes like saucers, mouth slightly open, looks like he's rafting down an imaginary river. What's he looking at? LITERALLY NOTHING. You can practically hear the off-hook tone issuing out his ears. He really is the most perfect himbo and I love him so much

It's been a year since my house burned down. I wasn't sure how I'd feel today.

But I'm okay. Better than okay. Honestly, I was untangling some cumulative grief WHEN this happened, and I think the space I've had to take has given me a chance to work through the other things, too. (1/2)

Went through my old account on The Bad Place--the ratio of mental health post to nudes was NOT what I remembered (way more mental health posts).

In any case, I'll probably repost some of my faves interspersed with new nudes and mental health posts. What will the new ratio be? A mystery!

I know genetic testing is the only real way to determine tetrachromacy, but I feel like the experience of sorting through hand-me-down perler beads and insisting that these are two different shades of blue while my family looks at me like I'm crazy should qualify

Just gentle-parenting my way through my FetLife DMs, like you do after you post a nude

(I've got the patience RN to call folks in...also, objectively hilarious to think about some dude getting back "Whoa, buddy--looks like you didn't think before you acted" as a reply to his unsolicited dick pic)

Love the anxiety of setting a perfectly reasonable boundary with someone who has had a history of telling you that you're bad and wrong for having boundaries...at work. Even when that person doesn't work there anymore and you own the damn business. Sigh.

The tension of opposites between having long nails for sexy reasons and short nails for sexy reasons is endless.

Y'all didn't think you were going to get out of Leo season without a shower pic from me, didja?

First day of 40 and feeling fine. 😊

A million years ago, I began posting under this name so I had a safe place to put my shiny new non-mono thoughts, brags, and spicy pics.

I can remember that person: their hopes, their fears, the way they stood on the precipice of what felt like a new world, a new life.
