erotica should not come from a soulless machine. erotica should come from your local bookstore or your friends on the internet when they have divine inspiration.

weird painting to test out my new inking pen ☀️

watercolor painting- a woman kneels behind a bush, carrying an approximation of an antique musket/rifle (I did not look at reference for this one so the shape is a bit off lol sorry everybody!). She is wearing a wildly impractical but fun outfit- a high cut onepiece with baggy ankle boots, a helmet and a big swan hat/cape.

When a trans woman dies of natural causes, at an age greater than 75, having lived more than half her life as herself, that is cause for celebration, not mourning.

Thank you, Miss Major.

palestinian lesbians once again ✨
{ #art #pride }

Digital art Illustration of two women in a tender embrace in front of a arched window. Both women are Palestinian and wearing elaborately decorated traditional thobes. The woman to the left has a deeper skin tone and a tender smile. Her braided black hair is decorated with silver ornaments towards the bottom.

The woman to the right is wearing a heavy coin headdress that has chains leading down to her waist. Her face has subtle tattoos that match those on her hand.

In the arched window behind them there are palm trees in the distance and foliage that coveres the bottom of the window.

If you didn’t know, Alaska has been hit by a massive storm, causing severe flooding. Many Indigenous villages have been completely wiped out, with some houses floating away with PEOPLE INSIDE THEM. Please keep posting to spread the info. They need help.

News Eye @newseye.bsky.social · 1d

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm
