The merging of two of my favorite things: coffee and color. There’s PURPLE in my coffee! How cool is that? This Ube Coffee at Tea Percent was amazing with Ube paste, organic fresh milk, and fresh brew robusta coffee. Also shown in the image are a Creme Brûlée, a second Ube (with drinkable mocha), and Oreo.
I have discussed previously how a Penrose triangle is a symbol of polyamorous relationships.
During Pride Month, I wanted to revisit this concept of polyamory as the practice is outside the traditional male-female monogamous relationship scheme. If asexuality can be included in LGBTQ (as I have seen on several occasions), then perhaps polyamory should be too.
Alternatively, Leanne Yau @polyphiliabog proposed in a previous Instagram post that, “Polyamory is a ‘queer-adjacent practice’…[while] not inherently queer in itself (see cheating/polygamy), but practi[c]ing it intentionally is a direct challenge to the cisheteropatriarchy.”
Reference to previous post … A Penrose triangle as a symbol of polyamorous relationships
The Penrose triangle is an optical illusion as it only occurs in two dimensions and not three.
I would argue it is more a perception of reality than a figment of one’s imagination. If unrealistic shapes can have a perception of reality, then avant-grade relationships shall have tantamount sustainability.
My novels explore the authenticity of polyamory, consensual romantic relationships that involve more than two people.
As an engineer, I like to analyze and test systems. As a lawyer, I like to argue alternative viewpoints. As a romance author, I like to explore a world of emotions.
What a perfect way to start the day. Coffee Fix, Positive Message, and Fun Candy. I love the rock candy that comes with this coffee. It takes me back to sweet childhood memories. As I swirl the stick, round, and round, the sugar crystals melt and the years fade away. Just like it was yesterday, I remember my brother always choosing rock candy as one of his favorite treats. The rush of caffeine, the warmth of coffee, and the reminder of simpler days provided a beautiful calm to the start of my day. Check out Turning Point Restaurant in New Jersey!

No, that is not a misspelling in the title. I purposefully used the term “shear” as an adjective even though the word is typically a verb to mean removing fleece or hair by clipping. In this case, the word shear refers to the type of digital art manipulation I applied to the image of the John Hancock building below. This type of effect is often referred to as a glitch effect. Rather than use the typical red/turquoise glitch colors, I chose pastes based on the spring season.
To be clear, “Shear is a verb meaning to remove fleece or hair by clipping or cutting, and it has numerous related definitions. Sheer is (1) an adjective meaning fine or transparent or (2) almost perpendicular, and (3) a verb meaning to swerve or cause to swerve. It also has several other definitions relating to these main ones.” https://grammarist.com/spelling/shear-sheer/

With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, the luck of the Irish is flowing like the green-dyed Chicago River. I think luck plays an important role in romance, love, and all relationships. And on the fun side, most phrases with luck have a sexual suggestion or could at least be used to describe someone’s chance at getting sex.
