Mikela Ash has a new queer steampunk mystery out: Warrior Queen.

A volatile cauldron of magic, love, and the empire may be on the edge of a precipice, but witches, humans, and automatons indulge in pleasures of the flesh.

Victoria has been dubbed by her adoring public as their Warrior Queen. ...

Exhibit #Knee on the #TattooTour is my piece of a set known as the bee's knees. A nesting partner has a similar tattoo but with a darker blue (bi colors) and slightly different design. [Previous Exhibit](lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/114270861)

Several people in my life have wanted matching tattoos, and this is often a difficult situation. I know how relationships can ebb and flow over the years, but I am also #poly (relationship anarchy). After some discussion, we decided on bumblebees as it parallels poly social constructs in fun ways.

Also, bumblebees will sometimes get 'drunk' on nectar and fall asleep in some flowers. They also like to just nap in flowers. Occasionally, they may fall out while napping. Moonflowers have psychoactive compounds like scopolamine (anticholinergic), and morning glories can have lysergic acid (LSA). Both those compounds are sleepy making.

So #bumblebees fit the need. It makes it easy to include more people into the tattoo theme as desired, and importantly isn't strictly bound to the set either.

This was also the fastest #Tattoo I've gotten because it is also the smallest.

Ich habe mich bei OKCupid angemeldet. Mehr zum Spaß. Und weil ich neugierig war/bin.
Und so sehr ich die Idee schön finde, so Menschen kennen zu lernen, so sehr stresst sie mich auch.
Ich muss Menschen auf Grund weniger Informationen bewerten. Und zeitgleich hoffen, dass mich eins dieser Menschen ebenfalls positiv wertet um dann zu hoffen, dass diese Person mich nicht komisch findet und ich sie nicht anstrengend.

Some Powell’s think #Poly relationships are mostly sex related. In my experience you know the top three questions I ask in mine? “Have you taken your meds?” “Have you drank water today?” And, “Do you want advice or do you want to vent?”

How about you other poly folks? What are the top three questions you usually ask your partners?

Continued thread

A preface about #PolyGraphTheory : All relationships (edges) are between 2 people (nodes), a poly person has one relationship with each partner; a triangle (or thruple if that's your thing) has 3 relationships in it. A quadrangle has 6 relationships in it, etc. (Each graph of partners is fully connected even if some people are not dating, all partners/metas are on a spectrum from complete strangers to intimate lovers, which itself is a one dimensional projection for the convenience of edge weighting)

Any apparently mononormative language is simply a product of treating each relationship, each edge, individually.

The Tower & The Star

One must accept death in order to truly live.

The concept of a relationship as having expectations, as having any rules, as bonds, must dissolve in order for your partner to have real agency.

Each partner must accept that the relationship is over before it can begin.

Each person is a solar system surrounding the brilliant star 🌟 of their divine spark, they can not be contained.

If you shine bright enough, you won't have to worry about your loved ones leaving.

In this essay I will...

Etwas, dass ich gerade lerne, begreife und noch nicht so richtig gut einordnen kann, bzw. noch nicht weiß, wie ich damit gut umgehen kann:

Es gibt unglaublich tolle Menschen in meinem Leben, die ich liebe und schätze und deren Kontakt ich niemals missen möchte.
Jedes Treffen ist unglaublich wertvoll und schön. Es tut mir gut. Es tut mir in dem Moment gut und auch die Erinnerungen daran tun mir gut.
