behind the curtains, a minstrel's job doesn't end with an encore. as a performer, a jester is as much a poet, playactor, musician, and courtesan. their services are varied, and they'll perform whatever the coin offered can afford, regardless of the clientele 🃏 #ocsky

So I couldn't find the original thread, and therefore have written my own analysis and put it on my website (to avoid censorship for bluntly discussing sexual content). There's also an indecent amount of food metaphors. Enjoy? www.riengray.com/blog/the-perpetual-disappointment-of-if-only-eroticism

I remember a thread a while ago where the OP was discussing books that implied deeper/more intense eroticism in dialogue than is ever shown in actual scenes, and I’d love to find it again, because I keep seeing the same scenario everywhere.
Another OUR CRIMSON CAGE blurb coming to you this morning by @aninkwellofnectar.bsky.social, a dear friend and writer of lush prose If you enjoy female rage and cathartic stories with hard-won endings, I highly recommend picking up THE SANGUINE SORCERESS and The Essence of the Equinox trilogy

Cis folk -- If you've been thinking that trans people are overreacting to what's been happening with the US government, the least you can do is read this.
It's not appropriate for cis people to say that trans people are too alarmed, or that certain trans writers are irresponsibly causing trans people to think the sky is falling. I want to take some time in this 🧵 to write personally about how my skies have fallen.
