Sleep beyond the hues of the blood that remains in view. Allow those breaths to drip in dew.

stretching into the deepest daydreams
we blend this fellowship of initiation
the lingering lightning of my fingertips
matching the taut thunder in her soul
meeting the mattress to become whole

Pastel in Girton College grounds

I did a lot of sketching in Girton College in the late '90s including three large pastels. At least one of these went to someone who had graduated from the college. The college has very nice wooded grounds.

Painting of a stormy sky at sunset over a large body of water. The clouds are pink and purple, and the water is teal green.

I've worked on this one slowly these past several months.

After reading Dale Carnegie' bestseller, Jessie was deeply convinced that the seductive power of her own pussy had already won her more friends in her life than following all the good advice of this totally overrated author ever would.

Oh brilliant. This was a good laugh

Beautiful writing. There is a little sacred sanctuary in reflections over a cup of coffee. This one hit home in many ways ♥️♥️✍️

I designed the background in Canva (no AI) to be dark brown with coffee beans and a white steaming mug of coffee at the bottom of the image (stock photo). The graphic is much longer than it is wide. The text in the foreground is plain and white, other than the title, the word 'coffee', and the line 'but one ritual remains entwined', which are in a scrawled font that resembles chalk. The title has what looks at first glance like a brown shadow, but it has different text. The text reads: Something Sacred Survived (Shadow text reads: Coffee helps me survive) Life plans collapsed when health abruptly lapsed Had pined for vacation not full hibernation Appointments, injections, and painful subjections - Devoting days to healing is completely unappealing Dejected dependence unseats independence Beloved ambition seems mere apparition Though new pleasures discovered until I'm properly recovered My existence is redefined but one ritual remains entwined Sacred in solitude with memories imbued Each sip takes me back to the life I now lack Advancing my education Concealing inebriation And for every occupation arming me with motivation Sunrise sparks anticipation for routine caffeine fixation My tenebrous searing saviour teeming with warm blanket flavour My morning mug reminds me life may not be all behind me Silently, each sip I savour... is much more than flavour By Fiery Sun Song Fluxofmind.ca

from font to blessing from muse to scribe you do not simply inspire me a sacred act flows through me as i bind you in verse and oh how i yearn to do your grace justice and oh how i yearn to make your resplendent soul glow and oh how i yearn to make you feel thirsted for and oh how i yearn to make those lips and those eyes smile and even in the profanity of conjuring thoughts of you pale skin midnight lace sighs of contentment sighs of ecstasy i am still driven by a higher need i can't make anymore beautiful than you already are to any eyes but your own but oh how i yearn to make you art

#BornBattleReady

Sacred memories
Silver bits
In an unsavory past
Clung onto like
A favorite guitar riff
Standing out like
Flickers of gold
That which made me bold
And as I grow old
Those silver linings
Are always what
Stands out
What gets me through
Silver, gold
Never old

SANCTUARY There was a time when I could relax into my sacred space A sanctuary all my own to be in ease and grace I shared it once it was beautiful like coming home times two That was before the grave shift before the desecration before sacred was turned to scared How to heal from such a rift I do not have a clue But I do one step one breath one iota at a time © Stefanie Neumann - @KokopelliBFree

Often times it is something one wouldn't think that helps create the sacred moments. Love this write ♥️♥️✍️🔥

Sacred sugar rush mountain
In haze I eagerly climb
Feed my lust with your fountain
In my rush I feel so high

Morning cravings my delight
Thirst in a hunger raises doubt
Walls are built in fight
Need this drug to ease my flight

Sacred feelings they float home
When all is forgiven laid on my crown

My Scars Are Sacred …and my wounds are holy Image courtesy of Adobe Stock My scars are sacred and my wounds are holy carved deep within my skin I still carry them everywhere the proof of my survival we all have …

Love the depth and emotions in this very tight write. A beautiful sacred piece

Cosmic Gem

Each star beyond man's eye
Survives in blessěd obscurity
Still safe from discovery
Unlabeled, unclaimed,
unconquered, unshamed
#Sacred in its own image
And free to exist without
A wonder sullied by humanity.

Some sacred things live between the pauses in the hush before dawn or in the tremble of a voice when everything is broken no scripture taught me this but that brief moment when I looked in the mirror and for once, I didn’t flinch the acceptance of my own breaking the choice to love again call it divine, call it grace call it the soul remembering itself for not all sacred things rise some simply endure without any explanation and that too, is holy © Ann Bagnall

Sometimes we are given a choice to let go of our darkness to see what might have been there all along. Sometimes we need to be reminded how to swallow her rhyme & see our true guardian
Please enjoy

Lay down beneath
this beautiful sky
pen me your soul
while you gently slide
Wrap around
Taste
Chantilly cream
Let me fall with purpose
Into this tasty dream
My hands are greedy
when it comes to
You
Locked within
insatiably intricate
needs
Once upon a fairytale
you found my heart
resting by the sea

[Bluesky post from SteamDB (@steamdb.info) on July 16, 2025 at 9:06 AM] Steam has added a new rule disallowing games that violate the rules and standards set forth by payment processors and card networks, or internet network providers. At the same time, many incest themed games were removed from the store. [Two images. First show a screen capture of Steam's TOS, with an highlighted paragraph. The highlighted paragraph is on the image's alt text:] Content that may violate the rules and standards set forth by Steam’s payment processors and related card networks and banks, or internet network providers. In particular, certain kinds of adult only content. [Second image's alt text:] SteamDB screenshot showing removed games from the Steam store at the same time as the rule was added.

You've probably heard of Steam and Itch censoring several NSFW games.
Perhaps you helped the online rants against Itch.

Or perhaps you've just found this and have no idea what I'm about.
