I just want to use this to thank you for enriching everyday life and such an uncreative time passing as scrolling with interesting and versatile art. I sometimes imagine you being hired by Foster Lipowitz to introduce the masses to art.

And this one - that's a(nother) picture that will be stuck in my head.

Always a pleasure. This is all welcome distraction for me :)

Yes, same! I'm so glad this exists and thanks for the effort you put in!

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to post this about why the peach became a gay symbol: https://www.makingqueerhistory.com/articles/2016/12/20/the-bitten-peach-and-the-cut-sleeve

Tldr a dude took a bite of a peach and it was so good he wanted his lover to taste it, too.

Huh, I just assumed there would be a reference to the film "Call Me By Your Name l" this is much older symbol.

I dunno, I just thought peaches were like a symbol for pussy and there are a bunch of peaches in one place so... Gayyy?

Also the band peaches is really gay.
