Mikela Ash has a new queer steampunk mystery out: Warrior Queen.

A volatile cauldron of magic, love, and the empire may be on the edge of a precipice, but witches, humans, and automatons indulge in pleasures of the flesh.

Victoria has been dubbed by her adoring public as their Warrior Queen. ...

Exhibit #Knee on the #TattooTour is my piece of a set known as the bee's knees. A nesting partner has a similar tattoo but with a darker blue (bi colors) and slightly different design. [Previous Exhibit](https://lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/114270861378131324)

Several people in my life have wanted matching tattoos, and this is often a difficult situation. I know how relationships can ebb and flow over the years, but I am also #poly (relationship anarchy). After some discussion, we decided on bumblebees as it parallels poly social constructs in fun ways.

Also, bumblebees will sometimes get 'drunk' on nectar and fall asleep in some flowers. They also like to just nap in flowers. Occasionally, they may fall out while napping. Moonflowers have psychoactive compounds like scopolamine (anticholinergic), and morning glories can have lysergic acid (LSA). Both those compounds are sleepy making.

So #bumblebees fit the need. It makes it easy to include more people into the tattoo theme as desired, and importantly isn't strictly bound to the set either.

This was also the fastest #Tattoo I've gotten because it is also the smallest.

The Tower & The Star

One must accept death in order to truly live.

The concept of a relationship as having expectations, as having any rules, as bonds, must dissolve in order for your partner to have real agency.

Each partner must accept that the relationship is over before it can begin.

Each person is a solar system surrounding the brilliant star of their divine spark, they can not be contained.

If you shine bright enough, you won't have to worry about your loved ones leaving.

In this essay I will...

Etwas, dass ich gerade lerne, begreife und noch nicht so richtig gut einordnen kann, bzw. noch nicht weiß, wie ich damit gut umgehen kann:

Es gibt unglaublich tolle Menschen in meinem Leben, die ich liebe und schätze und deren Kontakt ich niemals missen möchte.
Jedes Treffen ist unglaublich wertvoll und schön. Es tut mir gut. Es tut mir in dem Moment gut und auch die Erinnerungen daran tun mir gut.
(1/2)

So I should re #introduce myself; used to host my own instance at artemai when that was a thing; decided to get back on Mastodon again because the rest of social is a dumpsterfire.

I'm a #UNIX sysadm originally (from the late 90s) but started using #Linux in 91, bringing early dialup internet to #Newcastle with community group hunter #apana.

I'm a #coder, #python is the go-to language these days, some #js but plenty of #C and some #golang too.

Ten years ago I landed in #liveevents and #visionswitch / #camera #direct #sports presentation in major #stadiums along with building software for data-driven #content for use in those environments.

I'm a #ham radio operator. Callsign VK2WAY. I'm mostly interested in signals processing and digital communications.

I used to officiate #RollerDerby but have streamed it since 2014 as Downunder Derby TV. I still manage socials for and help co-ordinate Queer Roller Derby - @queerderby.

I'm #queer #pansexual #poly #nonbinary and use they/them pronouns.

Polyam Jealousy List:
- You watching shows with others and not me.
- Your hair.

I think that covers it.

Review: Our Complication by Alexandra Caluen:

"Byron Hartley is a fifty-six-year-old professor at UCLA. Cole Black is sixty-four, a Broadway choreographer who Byron recognizes immediately, since he teaches drama... a beautiful story full of surprises about two older men and one younger one just trying to find happiness. Four stars."

Hello everybody!

I guess it is time for an #introductions

I am June, from Vancouver, Canada. My gender is 422.

Gosh, I'm supposed to describe who I am and my life? No idea where to start.
I am an extrovert, survivor, and kind of 3 cats in a trench coat, pretty sure one of them is a racoon in disguise.

For what I do: I develop my own video games (Unreal), make art in various mediums (traditional, digital, photography, 3D, interactive,...) and DJ for my friends. I love hikes, road-trips, raves, novelty and being like, super weird. I also freedive a lot and read mental health scholarly articles for fun.

I do not especially identify as transgender, but gender transition is what I am engaged in.

I am part of a polyamory / relationship anarchist family with my partner, where I am helping raise a lovely (and quite hilarious) child.

I am currently in collaboration to attempt at creating a prosocial co-op studio with a friend, hoping to bring mental health-focused cosy games on the market. Because, you know, late-stage economic and environment collapses are kind of turning everybody a bit mad.

I am a big proponent of finding joy, grace, support and hope when facing struggle. One faces pain easier when equipped with joy, and one accesses joy easier when facing pain.

As diagnosed AuDHD +& in resolution stage, I write about philosophy, social justice, transformation, decolonization and mental health. I also do pro-bono trauma coaching and crisis support for gender and neurodiverse communities and consulting services for therapists looking to better support clients on the neurodiverse & dissociative spectrums. (I would argue that going into the mental health field after 15 years in games is kind of the pipeline ).

Regarding who I am? If you're a bit into tarot, I'll say that I could identify as the explosive mix of The Fool, The Magician & The Empress. Something like that: I enjoy traveling between worlds and seeking natural truth.

Nice to meet y'all!

#poly people.. I am looking for a place to live, and in my considerations, I’m trying to decide if I need a two bedroom so a partner/roommate and I can each have a bed, or if I should just plan on sharing a bed with one nesting partner and figure out everything else from there.. I found a really really cute studio, and I would have signed the lease for it already, but I date separately and just don’t know if it would work very well logistically.
my best friend lives downstairs, so maybe if my nesting partner got along with them, they could hang out down there during my dates and vice versa, but idk, not really something I can rely on necessarily
any ideas? I also don’t have a car, is the other piece of it, so me just going to my other partners’ places instead of hosting isn’t as easy for the more distant partners

Linda reviews "Untouchable" by Juliane Seidel, Night Shadows book 1:

"At the age of eleven, Lily woke up in a hospital after a car accident... full of surprises, secrets, betrayals and danger. It ends with a cliffhanger, but some of Lily’s past is revealed. I have no idea when book two will be coming out, but I can’t wait to read it! 4 stars."
