if you have ever complained about the nonsensical ratios of imperial units, consider that for a while the scottish inch was sometimes 1/37 of an ell, and sometimes 1/42 of an ell, and in 1663 the scottish parliament, tired of some twelve-inch feet being smaller than other twelve-inch feet […]

OH. "I'm surprised there's no fisting top named Idris Elbow"

No really we need to start playing gay porn in the gay bars again.

Years later I keep thinking about The Irrepressible's "In This Shirt". Surprisingly hard to find the video now; I think YouTube must have taken it down. https://vimeo.com/36149074

Holy cow Costco has 350kW Electrify America chargers now. That's great news for me--public charging is hard to find here.

Lats are coming in nicely right now, but I feel a little... deflated, if that makes sense. Been fighting recurring injuries and taking a lot of time off, or working with light weight, the last four months. Hoping that when I get my serratus anterior strengthened […] [Original post on woof.group]

Dumb jock day at the gym

"average person co-authors three poems a year" factoid actually just statistical error. average person coauthors 0 poems per year. Georg Costanza, who lives in 321 w. 90th street & coauthors over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Folsom prep... the dungeon is ready. What are you worshipping first?

Quinoa: what if vegetables, but crumbs!

Tops, Halloween is just around the corner, and if you're pondering what might make a fun soundtrack for a dark, evil scene with your favorite boy who loves fear... may I suggest "Snakes of Russia"? https://snakesofrussia.bandcamp.com/track/tooth-and-nail

Our event #need2obey now also listed on the Amsterdam Fetish Agenda. Master @HairyHypnotist , @hypnocub and myself hope to welcome you on the first edition of our new #erotichypnosis social on October 12th. Check out the Amsterdam Fetish Agenda […] [Original post on mastodon.hypnoguys.com]

Discovered after quoting The Princess Bride (1987) that the boy has never seen the film, so we watched it with friends the other night. Now he won't stop saying "as you wish". 😅

Like Inigo Montoya, I have been hunting for a specific man for the last decade. Unlike Inigo Montoya, I mainly want to find him so I can steal these specific tights.

Proud of the Chicago Sun-Times for reporting on Charlie Kirk's legacy: https://chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdogs/2025/09/19/illinois-professors-watchlist-charlie-kirk-turning-point-usa

Started "For All Mankind" and wow these first four episodes are making me tear up a lot more than

Did some gardening with my neighbor today and she lent me her electric mini-chainsaw for some tree pruning. Holy cow, these things are *great*.

It has been zero (0) days since I have ADHD-ed my way 30 minutes past the start of a scheduled meeting I have been double-checking on the calendar every day for a week

Went and talked to State Farm yesterday and discovered that they now consider any ebike with a top speed over 10 mph as requiring a motorcycle policy. I top out at around 18 mph on my heaviest bike *without* motor assistance. Is it even possible to get a bicycle that won't go faster than 10 mph???

One of my favorite magic technologies is the color-matching machine at the local paint store. You can bring them random scraps of paper, paint, wood, etc, and it computes what balance of pigments should be added for whatever kind of paint you'd like.

I don't understand how vscode, a program whose entire job is "efficiently edit text", can get copy-paste so horribly wrong.

Thanks Scruff, I hate it.

[Foundation S3] The boy and I really enjoyed this season (AAAAAA!) but Gaal jumping out a space station window and surfing her way through atmospheric re-entry kinda felt like a bit of a shark-jumping moment.

The fact I’ve been here this long and never posted this needed to be rectified! 😁 Remember kids! Never skip legs day!

My Partner gave me one of those trendy rainbow pencils a few weeks ago. I've been having fun playing with it. Here's one of the things I've drawn so far Reference was @Zekeytheotter CW drawn male nudity

The complaint form Ofcom says you should use to report websites for violations of the #onlinesafetyact does not allow you to enter URLs, because it might be illegal for Ofcom to look at them. What is going ON over there.

Next year at #Darklands I will be hosting a workshop around Kink/Fetish event organization. If you are an organizer or interested to become one join this workshop and exchange ideas on how to make your event successful, cater to your group of focus, deal with #safety or how to balance #inclusion […]

My roommate took one look up and down my outfit for a scene and said "I'm digging the sadistic streetcar conductor look" and I will never, NEVER be able to wear that shirt again

I love the almost imperceptible fellow-gay head nod on the street

Got my makeup done. 💀

I am normally super chill about everything but I have lost four games of chess this morning and I am very much tilted about it. I'm not sure there is a way to lose a game where you don't feel like a complete idiot, haha

Honestly, angrysock/friendlysock was a big part of why I pulled back from https://lobste.rs a decade ago. Relieved to see the mods finally issued an outright ban; this is not the first time they've walked right up to the line and pissed over it.

Sped up my little color-scheme-generating Hue lights program and added a web server so you can hook it up to #homeassistant et al. Now I have a button that applies a random, generally pleasing color scheme to the whole house. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWW0u2QkY1s […]

My boy rescued a very sweet beagle this afternoon, and with the help of some neighbors, managed to find her owner. She had a microchip, but it wasn't registered. Good reminder to check the AAHA lookup for your pet's chip and make sure you're registered, so if someone finds your pet, they can […]

I keep coming back to Isabel Fall's "Attack Helicopter": "When I was a woman I wanted to machine myself. I loved nails cut like laser arcs and painted violent-bright in bathrooms that smelled like laboratories. I wanted to grow thick legs with fat and muscle that made shapes under the skin […]

Woo, I'm falling behind on write-ups! About six weeks ago I was getting ready for a weekend at Boundless 2025 in Birmingham https://vulpineleather.com/boundless2025/ I didn't know what to expect but I knew @bigboyjoe.bsky.social had had a transformative […] [Original post on woof.group]

What's up, legs?

Sneakerheads, is there a way to get yellow stains out of white fabric? I've scrubbed with Dawn and water, even tried letting an oxygen bleach sit on it for a week. It looked great when wet... then yellowed again immediately on drying. The internet is full of nonsense like "combine baking soda […]

<sigh> asking the lawyers what we've got to do re: Mississippi HB1126. I love that you can tell they realized they were banning email, chat, and LinkedIn and decided to add specific exclusions for them: https://billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/documents/2024/pdf/HB/1100-1199/HB1126SG.pdf

I've been using Thunderbird for... literally decades and my biggest feature request is the ability to send emails without realizing, on reply, that what I wrote has random newlines everywhere.

Got stung by a yellowjacket on the roof of my mouth today. It had managed to sneak inside my sandwich. Yowch. 🥴

lmao after like 20 years of being a sysadmin it finally happened. Totally hosed a remote VM. It's backed up, of course, but I can't get into the management portal, because that VM hosts my email, and the management portal added a mandatory email 2FA step. So, uh, if anyone's wondering what […]

I cannot emphasize enough how *fun* it is to call companies that spam on Mastodon and ask them when they plan on posting about the gay BDSM they said they were into, instead of market research spam. "Maybe an intern did it--we'll put a stop to that immediately." […] [Original post on woof.group]

who is brandt and why are his boys like that

I've played a lot of chess lately, trying consciously to study and improve, and I swear I'm getting rapidly *worse* as the week goes on :-(
