We are looking at a painting of St Liphardus - a 6th-century lawyer, hermit and abbot in Meung-sur-Loire near Orléans, France. He is wearing bishops clothing including a surplus and mitre and is holding a crook. On a lead is a small knee high green and blue dragon.
We’re very sorry sir but you cannot bring your emotional support dragon in here.

Saw this on my walk today... diva down 💔
a black and white design that reads "you could learn a lot from a lesbian." to the right of the text are various items such as carabiners, a boot, a lollipop, a hammer, a boot, an apple, a lighter, cherries, a bouquet of flowers, a butterfly wing, and many stars. the entire image is textured to be grainy.
happy #lesbianvisibilityweek!
I think they drove your priestess Kossil mad a long time ago; I think she has prowled these caverns as she prowls the labyrinth of her own self, and now she cannot see the daylight any more.
A digital illustration of two japanese lesbians flirting in a queer underground bar in the 80s. One of them wears a blue jacket, the other a suit, while in the background there's liquor and a multitude of little stickers and illustrations of lesbian and queer marks.
The full illustration I did for @taplingzines.bsky.social "We've Always Been Here"
The zine depicts queer couples throughout cultures and history and I had the honours of portraying a Japanese lesbian couple in an underground bar during the 80s✨

Bad girl Mae West is sentenced to 10 days in jail for obscenity in her play Sex. She serves 8 days, getting out early for good behaviour. Over 325k people saw the play before the arrest...
West was an ally to the queer community and advocated for gay rights.
Adults who call soft boiled eggs "dippy eggs". Get a fucking grip.
I'm not convinced the Epstein files would make a difference, when the concentration camps, bombing a girls school, killing Venezuelan fishermen, and multiple other outrages didn't stop him.
The only thing that hurt him is the Iran war. Not because thousands are dead, but because gas prices went up
I feel SEEN.

Anyone who still has “huge respect” for JK Rowling after Everything she’s said and done has definitionally no respect for trans people

Joanne closed her helpline for single parents right around when she announced she'd be donating heavily to anti-trans causes. They closed because of lack of funding.
She's a billionaire.
She doesn't care about "single mums".

I'm sorry, but this is utterly unacceptable from Stonewall's new Chair. And entirely unnecessary. Nothing is gained from this except communicating to trans people that Stonewall does not care about them.
An org named after a riot proudly stating they want a kinder quieter debate is a real sign of it being successfully quelled
