Is adult, lesbian, modern-day urban fantasy with a flawed Korean heroine your jam? 🔞🌈🌆
Then welcome to the HARRIETTA LEE series! Check out the first book, DEADLINE, an appetizer-size novella that introduces the magic and mess of Harry's New York.
Enjoy your stay!
books2read.com/harrietta-le...

Image of book jacket for HARRIETTA LEE: DEADLINE, with book synopsis on back reading:
"Disgraced witch Harrietta Lee has made a lot of mistakes in her life; there's a reason she's got a sizable burn scar slapped across the side of her neck and a formal letter of excommunication from the international underground magical community. But who has time to dwell on the past when you're trying to make rent in New York? Things are mostly clean and simple, until her next odd job is brought to her by the representative of a powerful corporate family—a family she once had close personal ties to. As she unwillingly digs through six years' worth of personal baggage, she's also got to contend with an inhuman admirer shadowing her in the street.
"But hey, maybe it'll be worth it for the beautiful women she gets to kiss..."

Right. Because I'm in low-level management now. So the stupid comes to me.

How do I get an adult cat to stop using me as a springboard and in the process scratching me up with his claws???? I've ended up with wounds that look disturbing enough that my boss thought I was being domestically abused, and thats not coolio

Why do I expose myself to other people's stupid opinions? It doesn't add anything to my life except stress.

I feel like therapy would be good for me (with a good therapist) but it would be bad for my life because so much of how I'm living right now hinges on bad coping/survival mechanisms and pulling those apart to make way for things that are objectively healthier would destroy this house of cards

The only thing guaranteed to make me wet is being a little uncomfortable and scared. Like seeing an accurate cross section of human sinuses. I think it's a defense mechanism, like my body is going "Somebody fuck me RIGHT NOW to override the horrible memory this is about to form in my brain."

I love Lucy Liu. After I discovered Charlie's Angels and Kill Bill, being an Asian girl in the US felt like a superpower if it made me even a little bit more like her

this is why adult creators are really emphasizing that non-creators be the ones who contact paypal. Of all the paypros, PP is the most likely to act in a retaliatory manner towards individual accounts. If you dont make adult content or youre just a commissioner, you are able to help a LOT

Suzanne ✨🌑 @tendermiasma.com · Aug 20

Whenever I've called PayPal and brought up issues with adult content they have always asked me first if I'm engaging in selling it through my account. Paypal wants to know if it can target you when you question its policies.

I like how you, as a NSFW creator, need to seek permission - but doing so obviously puts you on their radar and risks getting shit-canned just for trying to be "legit" about it

Uh there's a real chance it's the mold

Steph Ahn @ahnwriting.bsky.social · Aug 21

Cats truly make all of this worth it

Steph Ahn @ahnwriting.bsky.social · Aug 17

Black mold, or depression? Depression, or black mold?

Nightmare about turtles. Giant turtles with long bendy arms and claws. Next time I will not go to sleep after eating a family-sized instant pad thai

Steph Ahn @ahnwriting.bsky.social · Aug 2

Anyone else interested in the fact that more and more indie horror games are using the daily lives of wage workers as nightmare fuel?

I'm reading "Sting of the Wild" by Justin Schmidt, who is the guy who developed the Schmidt Sting Pain Index. He ranked the amount of pain he was in after stings from 83 different stinging insects. I will list some of his descriptions following this.

Found out he also wears clip-on earrings. Loser.

My dad wants to look cool while playing bass in his all-dad band, so for their performances he wears temporary tattoos (cus my mom would kick him out if he got a real one, plus he's too scared and noncommittal for a real one).

Ok I've been on the fence about this De Atramentis Document White ink, but it started really suiting my needs after getting a little gloopy in a cheap Jinhao fountain pen.
