Seven of my more recent works have been added to the magnet shop.
I am working on replenishing low and out of stock magnets. A recent shipment of materials arrived damaged or otherwise they’d be restocked by now.
“Establishments like the ‘White Swan’ in 1810 London, and ‘The Slide’ in 1880 New York City to ‘The Black Cat’ in the 1950’s San Francisco and NYC’s Stonewall Inn in the late 1960s, the gay bar has played an important role in LGBTQ+ history. As (not always) safe spaces for the community to meet and socialize the ‘gay bar’ quite often served as the lightning rod for legal change and equal rights. Raise a glass to that!”

As he stood before the imposing figure, the young man's eyes widened in awe, his gaze tracing the chiseled lines and perfect proportions of the ancient statue, its marble skin glowing with a soft, ethereal light in the museum's hallowed halls. His own athletic physique seemed to draw inspiration from the masterpiece, as if the beauty and grandeur of the classical nude had awakened a deep appreciation within him for the perfection of the human form.

“It may be his first time with another guy or the first time with THAT guy, the one he’s seen at work or the gym. Finally it’s the right place and right time for hands to explore, lips to touch, to feel skin against skin. It’s that titillating moment of First Contact”

If you haven’t heard, Mark Zuckerberg, founder of META (Facebook, Instagram, Threads) is eliminating factchecking, and thus opening the door for widespread propaganda, misinformation and hate groups. He uses the excuse of too much ‘censorship’ for this roll back. And while I agree there is too much censorship on his platforms, it is censorship of art and the human form that is the issue. It is also NOT the kind of censorship META is eliminating. What Zuckerberg refers to in his comical justification video, are laws and restrictions that prevent propaganda, which is not censorship, it is called being ethically responsible. META’s rule prohibit insults inferring mental illness, and abnormality UNLESS IT IS DIRECTED TOWARD PEOPLE OF LGBTQ COMMUNITIES!
So, while I will not immediately close my META accounts, for one, I want to use them to encourage people to either follow me here or join me on BlueSky & reddit and two, I want to maintain my account name so someone doesn’t take it and impersonate me.
I’ve already removed the links to my META social accounts from this website, as well as the social sharing icons.
I am learning and liking BlueSky & reddit. I like that they allow nudity even though they may place labels on it, but users can adjust their settings to control what they want to see.
