More travel info. Im currently in Rome, but most of this can be applied to solo travel everywhere as a non white woman. People ask about pick pockets a lot. There are a lot in Rome but its a risk in a lot of cities that see lots of tourists.

I solo travel all the time. Apparently people are afraid to do this. Im currently in Italy and am going to give a little insight into the practicalities.

Today is the day!

I would love a music streaming platform that banned AI "music".

Im convinced most of toxic online discourse could be obliterated by just laughing at people who post ignorant hateful crap and not interacting with them as if their dogs hit opinion was worth considering at even the most basic level.

Gamer incels saying the new Gods of War game is unplayable because they dont find the new female PC attractive are strongly implying they only liked the previous editions of the game because they DID find Kratos's dad bod attractive. So happy pride month, queens!

The Seraphim Harness. Another addition to the private collection

Sanctuario Only available in the June 14th Private Collection.

Apparently this is a hot take but if i have to click through a bunch of pop ups just to see your site, im leaving. No, I dont care that youre trying to offer me 10% off to give you my email. No I dont care about your cookies. I came to your site for a reason, just let me see your freaking site.

Another summer, another flood of emails from organizations Ive never heard of and who have never interacted with my business before asking for money for their events.

Sanctuario One of a kind set in the upcoming June 14th Peivate Collection

Giving serious thought to just not shipping to the UK anymore. The people are so incredibly rude. I have to block 90% of brits who email me about orders due to how awful they are. Like wth is up with that?

Got so mad over the actions of incompetent contractor that I rage cleaned my whole house.

People trying to cancel an author for a book that isn't even out yet just because it might have a side character who is Israeli proves that just because you read fiction doesn't mean you necessarily possess media literacy or critical thinking.

I dont answer emails asking questions about how to do leatherwork, my guys. There are emails from paying clients that need answering. And, 100% of the time the questions I'm asked could be answered by a simple Google search and by using ones own brain cells.

New harnesses being added to the upcoming Private Collection

Im starting to feel like I might crawl out of my hermit era and start trying to get involved in the local kink scene again, and not just rely on my out of state play partners. Im shy. Any extroverts in New Orleans/Baton Rouge want to adopt an introvert with a coffee addiction?

Infuriating Healthcare rant of a typical female US citizen; went to the doc today and found out that because I dont have insurance I'm not even eligible for the preferred prescription I need. As in, even if I could pay for it out of pocket they still can even prescribe it because its ONLY available

@bauerkahan.bsky.social Hey so your bill AB 2047 hurts small businesses and makers in CA and is fundamentally flawed in understanding how 3d printers work. There is no such thing as a certified firearm detection algorithm that can tell what a printer is printing and stop it.

Being around other people can do wonders for my self esteem. Cuz most of the time I dont really feel like the sharpest tool in the shed. Then I see some of these fluffernuttters out here and all of a sudden I feel like a genius.

At this point theres no one in any branch of the US government that I think isn't human waste at worst and useless at best. Regardless of party. Theyre all rotten to the core and the entire system needs to be destroyed.

Its not helping my chronic disappointment in humanity that with the new Dune trailer not only are there people who actually think Paul is the good guy, but that the people who realized he isn't think they have some erudite take and fail to realize that he isn't actually the villain.

Collaborate? Oh, you mean I do all the work and you take credit for it on social media? Lol, no.

Im old enough to remember before 2016 I would say Israel is cursed and people would jump my shit calling me antisemitic. As if criticizing the actions of a country's government is the same thing as saying i agree with Hitler. And as if Semitic people only live in Israel and not the entire region.

When you live in New Orleans and forgot it was fat Tuesday and you tried to go to work...🤦‍♀️ For reference, navigating the city for the months leading up to mardi gras is a game of Russian roulette. The day of is madness.

How are the horror writers doing? Cuz I love me some horror, but with what's coming out of the files it feels like horror writers might be feeling kind of like writers at the Onion.

I restocked a fluffinator flogger

Tattoo artist- Youre a beast! Such a good sitter! Me- passes out for 12 hours straight afterwards

Are you a history nerd and need to laugh today? Fabricius can translate modern emoji into egyptian hieroglyphs and it is hilarious.

Today I was out having lunch with a friend when an unmarked ICE vehicle passed by. We were sitting outside in the lovely weather, enjoying the day. I was the only hispanic person present. Not a single other person noticed ICE. It feels like we are living in two separate realities.

I plan on doing something for the peeps on my mailing list soon

Every conversation Ive had with a white person about the Hispanic perspective on the current ICE stuff has been met with defensiveness. From our side; theyve been killing and torturing people for a long time. But now that theyre killing white people, now you care.

All these people acting as if having a big mad on the internet is "using your platform" are delusional. Anyone can say anything they want on the internet and we are overrun with people opinions. Using your platform actually means using the connections and any possible fiscal benefits to help.

Im so tired of living with constant underlying stress because men cant emotionally regulate and most women would rather uphold the systems of their own slavery than do the hard work of deprogramming themselves.

Im kinda starting to think natural selection is not selecting intelligence in humans.

Not to take anything away from the woman horrifically murdered in MN, but theyve been killing and torturing people this whole time. There should have been this level of outrage the whole time, not just after a pretty white woman was shot on camera.

Still really tired of my work being censored and considered perverted by people who are fine with raping kids, killing infants, shooting moms in their cars, killing people in concentration camps while ripping families of innocent people apart. But im the immoral one?

Oxblood bison restraint set. Im still convinced this ks one of the prettiest leathers on the planet

People are always so crazy respectful over email when they think im a man.

Zelda impact play set

I believe teachers when they say kids have been graduating high school unable to read or write. Because they're now adults in my inbox, and Toth have mercy on my battered little soul.🫩 Use an AI like grammerly, hell, even have gpt do it. I dont care. I should not have to descipher English.

Another day, another invite from another "marketplace" claiming to be the new adult Etsy that no one has ever heard of.

Im in LA for a day before heading back to New Orleans. I miss Los Angeles, but I also love my little house and massive workshop in New Orleans. I want both. My space in New Orleans for the week and a teleporter to an apartment in downtown LA for the weekends.

I shall not answer emails when I havent slept in 48 hours. I shall not answer emails when I havent slept in 48 hours. I shall not reply to emails like a raging psychopath when I havent slept for 48 hours....

Sometimes I think the funniest thing about my private collection release is that there are a bunch of men who really want the wolf sets or alien sets (of course) but because theyre incapable of listening to a woman talk or following her directions they never have a shot.

I wonder how many artists have had to severely dumb down their work to make it marketable to the masses so they can survive?

After months and months of making rose floggers non-stop I am finally at the last one. After canceling the orders of people who couldn't understand what turn around times are, battling idiots filing chargebacks on things they agreed to the clearly labeled timeline...I am almost done!
