I'm so excited for folks to hear this record. It's magnificent. New tracks released episodically until the drop in January. In our time of need, they return, and the journey continues. 🌇

Today, after 30 years, Pete and Pete have finally earned the right to be left alone with the Wrigley family house, following the disastrous events of the episode "35 Hours", where @dannytamberelli.bsky.social sold their house while their parents were out of town.

Big Pete and little Pete look up at their home, basking in the responsibility of being the men of the house.

Embrace Sexual Hedonism - Queer Pleasure is Liberatory - In this time of rising fascism, embracing sexual hedonism is a way to claim autonomy over your own body. Chastity is a tool of the enemy. The Nazis want to see you miserable. Cum like your life depends on it, because it just might. Squirt like there is no tomorrow, because there might not be. - Break Free From Your Cages

But I believe in the power of these increasingly saucy photos! Do it! Do the thing! 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩✂️🤌🍑🫦💖👯‍♀️

Cat is like... totally innocently sticking her tongue between spread fingers and looking mischievously at you. What is she suggesting, I wonder? HMMM💕💕💕

Cat is reeling in delight as a friend demurely play with her hair. How kind and nice!

Fuck, my girlfriend is so gorgeous and I'm so so so gay for her! I can't believe that in a week I'm going to get to kiss her, and our other girlfriend on this very bed!

(VOTE GIRL-LOVE BED '25! There's only two hours left!)

Cat Blackard 🌈🌴✨ @catblackard.bsky.social · 9d

I'm here all sensually splayed in my girlfriend's bed and it'd be so much sweeter if THAT BED WAS FREE. We're still in 2nd and we need you to LIKE this photo of a bed: www.facebook.com/share/1AQaQ3... It's hard out here for wlw. Be sainted by Sappho herself and help us score a free place of worship💗

I cannot believe this woman with her Billy Joel album cover parody. Like I needed any more reasons to be smitten with her beyond all reason.
I'm writing a scene in my book that attempts to capture how it feels when I kiss this girl: vote for the bed to make it real!

hi, cis folks!

do you trust the senate to decide whether you can have healthcare or if you legally exist under the law or where you can legally wash your hands or pee? neither do we!

please tap into the thread & tell senators our civil rights & lives matter—even more than the jimmy kimmel show!

Trans healthcare bans are a part of HB 3944, HB 4016, HB 3838, HB 4213, HB 4779, HB 5342, HB 5304, HB 5116, and SB 2296.
Provisions that end the legal recognition of trans people are part of HB 3838, HB 4552, and HB 5342.
Sec 594 of HB 5342 is a prison ban that sees that no federal funding can be used to place an incarcerated person in a prison inconsistent with their "biological sex
There are SOCIAL transition bans as part of HB 5342 and HB 5304.
A provision to ensure trans and queer foster kids can be taken in by homes where they'll be forced to endure conversion therapy and abuse is part of HB 5304.
Bathroom bans are a part of HB 3838 and HB 5342.
Despite House and Senate Democrats uniting as a bloc against transgender sports bans in January and February of this year (with the exception of the 4 notable and vocal House-D bigots), sports bans are a part of HB 3838, HB 5304, HB 5342, and SB 2296,
Sections that even allow same-sex marriage discrimination appear in HB 4016, HB 4121, HB 4213, HB 4249, HB 4552, HB 4553, HB 5342, HB 4754, and HB 5304.
Are you getting the picture?

This is a great thread and discussion about risk awareness and mitigation for game. In the same way that the kink community has had to grapple with risk as a central aspect of BDSM, games need to be intentional about it. Because risk is a necessary component of meaningful, pleasurable, experiences.

jay Dragon has firmware updates @jdragsky.bsky.social · 23d

i think a lot of conversations about whether or not a game "is safe" would be more productively shaped by:

- how risky is this game
- are players aware of and consenting to this risk
- what are tools players can use to mitigate risk

But Cat, surely this bed can hold MORE THAN TWO LESBIANS! Correct you are! My girlfriend's bed is an altar to sapphic passion.

Nothing says #SapphicSeptember quite like reactivating your Facebook account so you can direct people to "Like" post about the bed that you and your girlfriends plan to absolutely DEFILE in the name of the goddess Bastet because if enough people like the post then the bed is free.

Maybe you like watching it. Maybe you like the idea of it. Maybe you don't care for it, but you're glad that people are out there doing it. Maybe you believe that a sacred altar such as this is priceless and therefor it should have no price. All good reasons to like the above linked post.

When you're stuck doing the worst graphic design job, but you still have fun:

A mediocre collage of clipart assembling a beach scene.

A close-up of the person in the middle of the clipart beach scene who appears to be having an intimate experience with either the beach or the ocean. His face is twisted in a mixture of pain, pleasure, and surprise. Maybe it is also a portrait of the tormented expression of the designer themselves.
