HI CHAT. DID YOU KNOW IT IS INTERNATIONAL LESBIAN DAY? BECAUSE I TOTALLY FORGOT.

Please look at Erika, my dumpster fire lesbian lead of the Azaes Realm series, and her girlfriend Abby. Art by @bmwillows.bsky.social.

And maybe buy the books too please?

A colored digital sketch of two women. On the left is Erika (fair-skinned, brown eyes, light brown hair tied in a messy bun, orange shirt, blue jeans). On the right is Abby (light/warm complexion, long dark straight brunette hair, gray-blue crop tank top, dark blue leggings). Erika looks somewhat coyly over her shoulder at Abby as Abby kisses her shoulder and teases down the collar of her boatneck shirt.

A drawing of two women sitting on a bench. The one on the left (Abby) has very straight brunette hair. She's wearing red and black flannel with her sleeves rolled up to her elbows. She has a black shirt underneath the open flannel and black leggings. The one on the right (Erika) has light brown hair that is mostly hidden under a grey beanie hat. She's wearing an orange hoodie and blue jeans. Erika is resting her head on Abby's shoulder and looking at her lovingly.

I met my best friend because of Twitter. Nearly every book I've ever sold has been because of Twitter/BlueSky/Facebook. I met the most supportive queer community I ever encountered on Twitter (though we've all left). I met another of my closest friends through Twitch and another through 20SB.

And even though it's still being worked on..have the 3 ladies from Project Tasman. Quinn is a lesbian, Brielle...isn't explicitly stated to be but the more I explore her character, I think she is. And Alana is bi, but in a lesbian relationship

(Quinn/Alana; Quinn/Brielle; Brielle/Alana in the pics)

A picrew drawing of two women kissing. One the left is a redhaired woman with a scar on her eyebrow and a black t-shirt with a skull and bones on it. She's wearing blue shorts. The woman on the right has brown hair and is wearing a blue mock turtleneck and a pearl necklace. She is wearing a black skirt

dude, I probably wouldn’t have survived this long without the social connections that social media provided me with over the years

having close online friends during my depressed shut-in NEET phase 10 years ago kept me alive fr

plus I make 90% of my book sales via social media marketing

Just a little over three weeks until I make the move to Montréal, and I'm still raising funds to cover expenses and my future tuition.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have a small human obsessed with Bob Ross. I adored him as a child. I could only dream of having a painting by him in my home if I had money for it. But the reason this is happening is awful.

PBS News @pbsnews.org · 1d

Thirty paintings created by the bushy-haired, soft-spoken Bob Ross will soon be up for auction to defray the costs of programming for small and rural public television stations suffering under cuts in federal funding. https://to.pbs.org/4nEQMrw

All profits will help public TV stations with licensing fees for popular programs that include "The Best of Joy of Painting" and "America's Test Kitchen."

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.
