I'm not Christian of any stripe, but it disgusts me to see AI-generated devotional images, especially of folk saints. Monks ruin their eyes, their backs, their teeth even, giving themselves over to art, to ink & the divine. The least you can do to honor Dolly Parton is pick up a damn brush yourself

I want to read a femdom/msub romance where he's such a huge brat it should be classified as an international crime and she can barely keep up with him but LOVES it. Is there anything out there like this. It can be explicitly D/s or it can be vibes-based. Am I gonna have to write it myself.

had a dream my signature perfume was something called “New York Black Fig” and it smelled like suede, ripe figs, a kiss of high-end patchouli, wet city pavement, and a splash of cream. It was the only full bottle I had ever finished and then replaced, and now I’m trying to find a real-life dupe

If I am ever—on one of my more cynical days— caught saying m/f romances bore me know I am not talking about Eowyn and Faramir. I would never speak ill of mom and dad like that; the real self-giving totally besotted loverboys and lovergirls will understand me here.

New essay on sincerity as resistance against arch-right conservatism, Lord of the Rings, and the human imperative to express our desires with radical honesty and courage. It felt important enough to publish without a paywall, so eat up! open.substack.com/pub/saint/p/...

The classic romance grovel can be read as a kink power inversion where the (traditionally) dominant hero kneels and begs for the (traditionally) submissive heroine to do as she wishes with him, closing the loop of dominance and submission and cathartically re-balancing the couple’s shared world

I wish I could find a way to get in touch with Nico Alvarado just to tell him what this poem means to me. Every time I read it, it hits just as hard. It makes me feel not so alone in the burning and that has saved me more times than I can count.

The hottest, chichest thing you can do is to go analog. Meet up with friends in person, read print media, write letters by hand, meet lovers in the wild instead of on apps, read book and tune into radio shows, turn off your location, surrender yourself to radical presence of your body.

Death to the “hooky”, action-packed, in media res first chapter; my kingdom for a vibey, seductive, languid first chapter. Let me sink into the novel like warm bathwater, don't plunge me headfirst into the deep end of the frigid pool.
