Sufjan Stevens

The beautiful and soul-gifted Sufjan Stevens: his recent album _Javelins_ has untold beauties in it. Here:

For good reasons, without grievance
Not for sport

Your cock is so luscious, such a joy to behold--and even better, I'm sure, when it pulses and throbs inside a willing, wet ass.

Such a *beauty*!

Oh, the changing light!

painting

Miloš Jiránek's powerful 1903 _Showers in a Prague Sokol_!

We Won't Need Saving These words come to me in a country where 16-year-old Nex, of Oklahoma’s Choctaw Nation, won’t stay inside the cage that gender throws over human bodies, won’t assent to what can be done in gender’s n...

Ah, the green way!
