My Lyft driver told me that art was a fun hobby. I'm nowhere near caffeinated enough for this.

My patrons voted on the theme “Shibari Vampires” so I’m gonna be honest, if you’ve been thinking about joining my Patreon, this might be the month….

Today you should send love to your trans friends. Tomorrow, too. Maybe every day for a while.

Create NSFW art

Porn is not evil, sex is not abhorrent, pleasure is not a crime

Even if you don't agree with all kinks doesn't mean they should be allowed to censor art

This is why we have tags and the blick button, not megacorps deciding what we can and cannot like

Always resist oppression
