#LGBTQWriteAThon Oct. 2: This month I have a few projects. I wanted to make aesthetics, but work got busy, so I only have one I made a bit ago for this horror WIP. - Vampire short story - Romance short story (prequel to future novel) - Horror WIP (haunted/cursed carnival) All queer, of course.

Collage of black and white photos.

Top row of three photos shows a woman with long hair and reflective sunglasses; a woman with short hair, shaved on the sides, with tattoos on her neck and head; and a silhouette against a night sky, lifting their arms up towards the distant moon.

Bottom row: A wine glass of dark liquid held in two hands that have dark, painted fingernails; a close up of a person with black eyes; a person sitting against a wall, knees up to their chest, a hood hiding their entire head.

Wording across the image reads: "We are all made up of beginnings..."

I don't know which one of my curly lovelies needs to hear this, but the Matrix Food for Soft Shampoo and Conditioner are doing amazing things for my hair (though they were not amazing on my wallet, they're also not the most expensive hair product I've used). These curls are HYDRATED.

No lie, this is AWESOME. www.metopera.org/app/opera-fo...

Screen shot of The Metropolitan Opera website that has Mayor Mamdani standing in front of a crowd of performers in costume. Black text on white background reads:

Opera for All: Free Tickets for Eligible New Yorkers
Every New Yorker should have the opportunity to experience the Metropolitan Opera, regardless of income or background. The Met is not just a globally recognized cultural icon; it is also New York’s opera house, an essential institution that truly belongs to the city’s residents.

In an exciting new partnership with the NYC Mayor’s Office, the Met will distribute 70,000 of its tickets each season to eligible New Yorkers—free of charge—via a lottery on the Met Opera app, as well as through various distribution methods with organizations across the city.
