Hey, Bluesky, am I doing that “pit tax” thing right?

New plates have arrived 😈

🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

Visiting Palm Springs? Live in the valley? Want your boots shined? Help me get some practice hours under my belt and book an appointment to sit for me in the chair! calendar.app.google/VkzCATVpN5W2... I also clean gear, send a DM for more info.

Look at my butt! 😆 #CigarDaddy

Having fun with my #twelvebootsofxmas challenge: clean/condition/polish 12 boots in 12 days as a way to practice my bootblacking skills One day left! www.instagram.com/leather.wx

Appreciate the kind words! Thanks for letting me practice on you guys 🖤

I was asked if there was a way for folks to help with moving expenses if they’re unable to attend the show next Friday. NO EXPECTATION, but if you want, I have Venmo and Cashapp available. Any help towards expenses is appreciated.

@burqueno64.bsky.social was kind enough to sit for me today. First time having someone in the chair to get their boots shined 🎉

Day 3 of Twelve Boots of Xmas Every day for 12 days I’ll be polishing a pair of boots to practice the skills. Today’s pair was generously provided by @bdsmps.bsky.social. Hopefully I’ve done them justice. Come follow along on IG www.instagram.com/p/DR9H_m6Ebt...

Happy humpday my fellow kinksters. Worship the boot boys!!

After all that work, they are finally ripe and ready to share. #nipplefreak #titplay

Needed to unwind after a particularly tough couple of weeks, so I picked a random spot in the desert, drove over, set up a camping chair and watched the sunset with a cigar. Naked, of course.

I was fortunate enough to run into @bdsmps.bsky.social on Saturday to help celebrate his birthday. Here’s to a great year ahead! ⛓️🪢🗜️🦯⚡️

I’m learning to hear my resistance. That part of me that wants to control or deflect — that’s the part that needs structure most #introspection #leatherreflection #discipline #keepworking

Weekend is here, time to fire one up #fcf #fatcigarfriday #cigarfetishist #fbf #folsomeurope

Halfway done reading the books in my little library Velvet Rage resonated strongly, as did several stories in Ties That Bind. Love the traditions & ceremonies described in Protocols Handbook (if they actually happened). Urban Aboriginals was pseudo-science that might work. Do you have a favorite?

Quickly becoming my favorite way to turn off my brain and get into subspace

Trying simple rituals: clean my space, set intention, be still. Submission as a daily habit, not just a scene. #SubDiscipline #LeatherWx

Intimacy is not always sex, sex is not always intimacy. Been thinking about this a lot lately. I had confused sex for connection for many years and only recently have I understood the difference. These days I value and prioritize intimacy, but it’s next-level amazing when you can find both 🙌

Pups, boy, consider this: Being “normal” or mainstream may be safe…but it’s not who you ARE. Your unique self-expression is where your creativity and spirit lies Theres greater change, inspiration, joy and growth to be had when you are YOU. And others are depending on it .

Weekend prep ✅ Anyone else heading to Dore? Say hello if you see me. #dorealley #upyouralley #bootblacking

Not shown: on the other end of that rope are weights on pullies offering subtle automatic punishment for squirming. A perpetuating intensity leading to sensory overload ♻️😵‍💫 Can’t wait to do it again!

Curious to hear from others walking this path too. Always open to experience, advice, and connection. #SubInProgress

Working on improving my mind and my body - been back at the gym now for 2 months at 3-4x / week. Feeling much better and starting to see the definition reappearing, but there’s always room for improvement. Time to step up the core and cardio!

There are lots of ways to bridge the generations and, as @buckharder.bsky.social recently attested, bootblacking is a great way to do so. I’m spending my summer practicing on the boots/gear of friends. Not to step on his toes, but if any PS locals are willing to let me practice on theirs, let’s chat

For years I've felt a sense of duty to keep longstanding customs, traditions, and institutions from fading as the LGBTQ+ community expands. I’m pro-growth, but not at the expense of history. How do you help preserve and propagate leather culture?

I’m looking to Leathermen of all honorifics, roles, kinks, backgrounds, titles, and experience for education and mentorship. Those who can help guide me, answer questions, and maybe take me under their wing (or boot) if so inclined. Committed, eager, motivated.

Who’s up for a ride? This stallion needs breaking in 🏍️

I’m married, we’ve been together for almost 8 years. He’s supportive of my sub journey - hell, he bought me my first leather shirt that reignited my interest - but it’s not specifically about us. This is something personal that I’ve needed to explore for a long time. #subinprogress #leatherwx

I’m not in training yet. Just listening, reading, observing, experimenting. Feeling it all out. On the lookout for guidance and structure - without rushing it. #subinprogress #leatherwx #leatherboy #leathermenofpalmsprings #leatherbear #blondbear #blondbeard #leathervest #leathershorts

Been getting into Asylum Insidious and Baccarat cigars lately. What are you smoking these days? #nakedandlazy #cigarsub #leatherbear #cigarleathermen #berlincigarmen #palmspringscigarmen #socalcigarmen #beardedgay #leathermenofbluesky #palmspringsleathermen #leatherwx

Hi, Bluesky. I’m 42, a gay bear, and recent Palm Springs area transplant. 22 years after I first dipped my toe in the leather/BDSM scene, I’m coming back to finally explore it fully.

Apparently my nipples are sensitive when properly coached. Who knew?
