One of the most random skills I had to learn as part of a passion project was how to make my own font. The whole project hinged on me being able to have a font with characters I designed. IYKYK fonts are very difficult to make. But it came out great! #font

The gap between where our bodies stood quickly closed and I leaned forward to kiss her. We kicked off our shoes and I wrapped my arms around her and our lips pressed together softly. Our hands shifted on each other’s bodies as the kissing became more forceful. I slid one of my hands down into the back of her pants and grabbed her bare ass. She hummed and then gripped tightly onto my shirt again to pull me closer. I put one hand behind her head, ran my fingers through her hair and finally grabbed onto a fistful as our tongues emerged and brushed gently across one another. I placed my other hand on one of her perfect breasts and caressed it. She let out a gasp and pressed her chest out toward me. I took a glance down the top of her shirt to see her held snugly in a white bra.
Our breathing became heavier and she pulled her shirt over her head. In a flash, I unclipped her bra with my hand and it fell to the floor. I immediately picked her up so that her chest was in line with my face and she wrapped her legs around me. I pressed my face into her and began to kiss her sweet skin, in between teasing her raised nipples with my tongue. I carried her to the bed and laid her down, our lips intertwined again and our breaths heavy. Kneeling before her I removed my shirt and laid down next to her, rubbing my fingers in between her legs as we continued to kiss. She was

Listen friend you and me
yeah we’re one in the same
We can’t let them divide us
gotta fight for some change
Yeah I mean a better life

Until we’re living free
American dream, get paid

Gonna do a little click
yeah look at you go
As you’re surfin’ the ‘tube
And your mind on your goal
Gotta confirm every single fucking belief
That you already had now ain’t that sweet
And you did it! You’re a genius
Everyone else is sheep

See your beauty
Now see your strength
Tell em go and sue me
If you can’t relate
Or be a fucking human
Just a fucking snake
What are you fucking doing
Go and fuck your hate

Antiracist, radical justice
Evil, faceless powers can’t crush this
It’ll take more than kindness
To teach the world to love
I’ll make you learn to love again

When you see corruption
its the hour to change it.
Be the interruption,
it’s the hour to change it.
We the fucking people

You can’t touch this
justice made by the streets
Know we gotta resist
without missing a beat
Make you flame kissed won’t miss
sharing the heat
Yeah, we can’t rest

With all of the hate and awfulness in the news and our feeds. In a world that seems like it only has the ability to get worse. I hope my art made it into your timeline and gave you a bit of joy.
