It's the last day of #SapphicSeptember, - reminder that if you want sapphics that bang in hot AND plot-relevant ways, get revenge on their enemies, and flourish after transformation (and transition), I have a full backlist for you!

![Celebrated the Monday after Easter, this festivity involves people (typically boys) throwing water on other people (typically girls).
[A vintage image of boys getting read to douse girls with water. Everyone is wearing regional garb, I can't say on sight which region it is, I just know it's not Podlasie]
The basic logic is: Lent’s over, let’s get merry and silly with it. Some say it’s to commemorate the Baptism of Poland, others give it a more folk spin where the water represents the rains and the girls can use other charms to ensure a bountiful harvest if they don’t want to get doused.
(When I asked my parents about any of this, they said they didn’t know any of this, so I’m bringing my cursory research to you.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gj3pfknobnkluz3iwksg4vob/bafkreieewirvc7j2xfnihsz3b2clwca3sftljzpscodhecfcqf3y673isi)
![She slithers along her back, as if she could wriggle her way off my fingers. It only makes me pet inside her with greater focus. I wish to keep her so pathetic and trapped for as long as I can, before anything dares interrupt us.
The squelching turns to splashing as she finally releases. A bitter flood of piss and slick joins the spilled [kompot]. I should be disgusted, but instead I feel lightheaded. Some of it sinks into her clothes and mine, the damp rising through the threads. The thought of her needing to clean this debauched laundry is nearly enough to trigger my own orgasm.

![Dear Representative Feret,
I am a constituent from [REDACTED]
At this moment, our federal constitution is in crisis. Elon Musk-an unelected, unappointed, unconfirmed individual, in charge of a "department" that has no Congressional authority-has sent teenagers into OPM to download American's private, personal data in violation of the law and the Constitution. He has claimed the right to veto government spending approved by Congress-a power deemed illegal by the Supreme Court when exercised by the President, let alone a non-governmental official.
I cannot emphasize enough that if this is allowed to continue, we lose our constitutional democracy. Elon Musk does not have the power of the purse. Elon Musk has not had constitutional authority delegated to him in any official capacity. Elon Musk is exercising authority that does not belong to him. Authoritarian overreach must be stopped immediately, before it gains a foothold.
I know as a state representative, there are many things you cannot do. But it is not nothing.
I am asking you to take action to preserve our democracy and our Constitution by sponsoring and passing State laws that hold that companies with executives in the C-suite engaging in open violation of the laws and Constitution of the United States lack authority to operate in Colorado and any property in the state is subject to civil forfeiture upon suit by the Colorado Attorney General.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:s5fi6htc7xhnshxxn37dg65c/bafkreib2bskhlea7eqojnbsw67pejm666gjdc72muwclpdnzspb2lrx6zq)
