As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

THEM: Yoga isn't competitive ME: Not with that attitude

It's *looks at bare wrist* fuck time o'clock

I’m bringing this energy into 2026

New Patreon post: A glimpse into my approach to kink teaching, particularly around what I’m ethically willing to teach (or not). www.patreon.com/posts/what-i...

Alright, Monday, let’s do this thing.

How it feels to look at my schedule for January and February

This full photoshoot is now live on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/belate...

“The world has not taken us. This alone is a good enough reason to celebrate.” -Rudy Francisco

Taught 16 kink classes for 9 different organizations (and have already booked 13 classes for 2026). Made wonderful new friendships and deepened my existing ones. Improved my self-care & relationship skills. Survived.

Update: I’m now working on 4 different essays, and my word count to orgasm ratio is currently about 1,000 to 1

You know there’s something wrong with me when I lie down in bed to masturbate, but end up spending 2 hours writing essays for my Patreon instead 😅

Got tags running on my site, finally, so all my #YearOfKindness essays are in one place. I don't know if there will be more of them. I am writing a book of poems about it, though, I think. . www.laurenjanek.com/blog/tags/ye...

"Don't we touch each other to prove we're still here?" -Ocean Vuong (with Graceling144, photos by @the-silence-pics.bsky.social at @darkodysseyevents.bsky.social Surrender 2025)

Let's see how many points you can score by tipping it with your toe! 😈 Toe the line - Day 13 of the @shibari-study.bsky.social Kinktober Challenge. I used fineliner, brushpen and coloured pencil.

"I am a dancer. I believe that we learn by practice… Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire." -Martha Graham (with @thelilsuccubus.bsky.social , 📸 by @twistedview.bsky.social at @darkodysseyevents.bsky.social Surrender)

Gentle reminder not to use "bootlicker" as an insult because it unfairly includes people who like to lick boots purely for pervert reasons ❤️

Aw fuck it's crimbus

I celebrate Hanukkah and Christmas, and you have my permission to send me gifts for both. throne.com/abundantmisc...

Postponed this photoshoot because I’ve felt sick for the past 3 days straight and am still sick 😭

I just received a gift from my wishlist: Dinner + A Drink. Thank you! throne.com/abundantmisc... #throne #wishlist

Remember to take a moment to stretch before sprinting through your last-minute holiday shopping

Sometimes you tie up a dude on your friend’s living room floor, and 6 months later they send you a bunch of home-baked treats 🥰 Thank you @turbocunt.bsky.social

yes good

I’m officially sick of feeling sick 😭

For anyone who needs to hear it: Your kink is valid, even if you never photograph it. Your kink is valid, even if health issues or family commitments or seasonal work is currently preventing you from doing anything kinky.

I just received a gift from my wishlist: Bath Bomb. Thank you! throne.com/abundantmisc...

There’s something particularly satisfying about lighting a full menorah on the longest night.

Update: Apparently the cat show got cancelled without any notice 😢

Today: up early to road-trip with friends to a fancy cat show Tomorrow: shooting fun things in this

Happy 6th Night! Somebody go spin a dreidel on behalf of my short-armed buddy here

Post-therapy reflection: Currently feeling grateful for the folks in my life who know what it means to actually show the fuck up for each other and our communities.

Looking forward to teaching my Trampling & Boot Play class online tonight for Let It Reign! events.humanitix.com/trampling-an...
