Started as a little study and became another one of the 'Secret Society of Unpractical Headpieces in Space' series (that still does not exist) 🪐

The Leather Archives is an awesome place in Chicago in which I have taken many a friend to learn about kink, BDSM, and leather culture. I could spend approximately 900 years in their library full of erotic texts. Supporting their rebuild goes to a great cause for a very unique museum!
Join us today! The Leather Archives & Museum is renovating our building and celebrating our 35th anniversary, making this an especially meaningful time to join. leatherarchives.org/support/beco...
Work had me so bogged down this past month I didn’t do any Sapphic September posting, so here, hopefully this abandoned art makes up for it 🙏🏼

I love Rien's books!
It's the last day of #SapphicSeptember, - reminder that if you want sapphics that bang in hot AND plot-relevant ways, get revenge on their enemies, and flourish after transformation (and transition), I have a full backlist for you! details on the books down below ⬇️⬇️⬇️ (or just go to riengray.shop)!

I loved this book! As a body horror enjoyer, this really hit the spot: so gooey and gross and terrifying in the best ways. The story was really compelling and fast paced and it only got faster by the end!
Lesser Hungers is my horror debut, starring a blue collar nonbinary lesbian with something (?) haunting their blood, their 100 year old ghost girlfriend, and sentient cannibal mold. The reviews speak for themselves! www.amazon.com/Lesser-Hunge... Also in audio: haruspex-audio.com/products/les...
I don’t need plot to “earn” sex scenes but this is one of my favorites where the sex is both hot and load-bearing (sorry)
The Scales of Seduction is my blood-drenched ero romance between a transfemme Basilisk and a rage-filled, exiled Medusa. Kinky serpent dykes meets deep research on 3rd century Greece, leaving every page dripping with meaning. Also in MMPB! riengray.itch.io/the-scales-o... riengray.shop/b/AQW7s

I love this series so much. My introduction to Rien Gray (thanks JP!) and every one is a banger, as the young people say.
Fatal Fidelity is my completed series following a bi femme fatale after she hires (and sleeps with) a nonbinary assassin to kill her abusive husband. It turns out murder is as addictive as her new paramour. Very high heat sapphic noir romance🩸 www.amazon.com/dp/B08S6LNGTZ

--LUNAR-- (sharing some older but still much loved art!)
Just saw a Kickstarter for some sort of ancient-period board game refer to an ‘early bird hero’ and was genuinely intrigued by this mythic figure before realising they were talking about a reward for early backers.

THE CLANS HEIR IS A TRANS WOMAN (2013) is like Steven Seagal decided to Write/Direct/Star in a love letter to his trans friends, but it looks and feels like every action movie he's made... except Hitoshi Ozawa is way way way way cooler than Seagal.
Genuinely, this is what bothers me the most, it's fundamentally changed my relationship with art where I'm greeting it initially with skepticism and scrutiny, I never want to feel that way about art.
The feeling of questioning whether or not something is AI as part of its destruction of all visual art
Hey everyone, I'm really in a bind. I was just told earlier today that my job will be terminating me on October 13th, exactly one day before my upcoming requested paid medical leave to recover from bottom surgery. I intend to fight this in court, but I could really use some help in the meantime.

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.
these were very nice to come back to after an unexpectedly long layover and bumpy flight, so thank you 💙

I’m sure that you’ve read some of these, and they might not all be to your taste, but here’s a few ones I read recently that I liked! - The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden - Martis the Brazen by Rien Gray - Of Love and Libraries by Brenna Bailey - Fallow Till We Bloom by Nikki Null (cont.)
