Incidentally if you are an artist in AA at a convention I'm at, and you have an AI wanker near you, HMU on discord and I will come over, creepshot your nearby AI wanker, and report them immediately.

Lily🥀 Read Bloodbound @alilyflower.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

That hot lesbian at the bar has a few secrets. The fact that she's a vampire isn't one of them. So, here's the plan: ask (beg) for protection, fuck her, and survive. Simple, right? Bloodbound is a pulpy horror story about autonomy, vampires, and messy lesbians. Read free: lilyflowerbooks.carrd.co

A book cover with a black muddy background. The title Bloodbound is in stark red lettering, as is the author name in the bottom right corner, Lily Flower. Two fangs hang from the vowels in the word Bloodbound. A painting of two women embracing, both with long hair and pale skin is centered on the cover. One woman has a breast exposed. She hangs onto the other woman with her arms around her neck. They are both looking to the side.

"So much of Ms. Pike's experience reflects widespread and systemic failures that surface in death penalty cases," said an Amnesty International USA researcher, urging an end to capital punishment "in Tennessee and beyond."

Federal Appellate Court Halts Tennessee's Planned Execution of Christa Pike

A federal appellate panel blocked Tennessee from executing Christa Pike, citing childhood sexual abuse, but the US Supreme Court could allow the state's first female execution in centuries to proceed.

How to avoid sexual assault! A QUICK AND EASY GUIDE*

sexual violence centre cork

1 DON'T PUT DRUGS IN PEOPLE'S DRINKS

4 WHEN YOU SEE A WOMAN WALKING BY HERSELF, LEAVE HER ALONE.

3 WHEN YOU COME ACROSS SOMEONE WHO IS DRUNK OR ASLEEP, THE BEST THING TO DO IS NOT RAPE THEM.

6 CARRY A WHISTLE. IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT RAPE SOMEONE, BLOW THE WHISTLE UNTIL SOMEONE COMES TO STOP YOU.

2 USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! IF YOU CAN'T STOP YOURSELF FROM SEXUALLY ASSAULTING SOMEONE, ASK A TRUSTED FRIEND TO ACCOMPANY YOU AT ALL TIMES TO STOP YOU.

5 IF YOU ARE IN A LIFT AND SOMEONE STEPS IN, REMEMBER NOT TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT THEM.

My third novel, HERO COME HOME, officially has a cover! Preorderable from the usual places us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

The cover of my third novel, HERO COME HOME. Four human figures centred, the main image being that of a bearded man looking back over his shoulder (that's Oro, the protagonist), with a circle of symbols behind him. We can see a swan and a key. In the foreground are three people: two women, one with a mysterious marking? scar? who knows!? on her cheek and the other carrying a sword, flanking an older, balding man holding up a pistol. The possibly-scarred woman looks ever so slightly amused, and that is certainly very like her. Everybody else is not happy to be here, or indeed, anywhere

I genuinely don't recall the age, or even which incident came first. It's a toss-up between the bloke who tried to get me closer to his car so he could ask if I did blowjobs (I was in school uniform at the time), or the Italian bloke who tried to chat me up on the street (I was in a school group).

What's also aggravating is that we KNOW that ME/CFS is triggered by catching random viruses at some point in life. Flu, COVID, a cold, it doesn't matter. Once the virus has gone, you're left with debilitating symptoms the whole medical profession pretends aren't real, and they're yours for life.

This, the poorly appearance of pwvsME, is what NHS hospitals in England routinely use to accuse patients and families of 'self neglect' under statutory safeguarding powers (Care Act, 2014). When it comes to court, the families are exonerated. Meanwhile, the patient is made 100x more unwell.

Excellent thread! There *are* rewards for being A Good Guy Who Speaks Up even if they are not immediately obvious or publicly bestowed. First, integrity is its own reward. Maybe you didn’t save the world or change hearts & minds. But if you held the line on not making it worse, that’s something.
