Riding a wave of Topspace this afternoon. Life's good for this SIR.

I'm proud of this. "The effort to de-classify kink as a psychiatric disorder began in 1980s Los Angeles with [Race] Bannon and his then-partner, Guy Baldwin, a therapist who worked mostly with the gay and alternative sexualities communities. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Liberal media is acting like a guy who says crude things is beyond the pale like 2 years after Joe Biden went on Howard Stern and rode the sybian

lol lmao, even

I saw this at the exhibition and thought of you.

I think what I appreciate most about kink blue sky is the absence of all the kinkfluencers whose online persona is that of a Live Laugh Love sign

To answer what the difference is, unfortunately, is not easy without a degree of qualia.

Anybody else feel like something fundamentally queer was lost when instead of saying "SM" we started saying "BDSM and leather and rubber and fisting and impact and bondage and piss and cigars and...and...and..." when they mean the same thing?

Attempting to expand the scope of German phrases I'm comfortable with, I told my language tutor that one of my hobbies is shrieking in terror at the sun. She rolled her eyes and told me I used the wrong article for the accusative case

Watched a DW language learning movie last night where a character has an unexpected pregnancy, and there is nothing I wish existed more in the world than a discussion on abortion in a beginner German language course

I feel like an untapped market for sex workers is the "Highschool friend you drifted away from, for good reason" experience, where you pay to sit with a guy at his computer while he plays his favorite Joe Rogan and LiveLeak clips for you

Ok this whole slideshow is a trip (yes there’s more, like, 10 more slides of this) but I feel like word vomiting and I don’t want to try and seek out the set in full. Time for a thread no one will read lol

I made my own version

I find it amusing that whoever made this clearly wanted to list a 4th word to describe old guard leather but couldn't think of one so they just left a dangling comma

Indeed; that's exactly what the NCSF Kink Aware Professionals list is for, after all www.kapprofessionals.org

Random guy on Scruff: What's your favorite position? Me: This

There are a bunch of "what are we even doing here" things in this subculture, but the trend of non-credentialed randoms selling therapy services over instagram but calling it "kinky life-coaching" is the most "what are we even doing here" thing

i'm at the point with learning german that hypnosis audio is basically comprehensible input for me, so i can now say that gooning is a productive use of my time

Might try out this "sex" thing everyone is talking about while at Smokeout. I think I'll bring a hunter green hanky just in case there are any older men there. 🫣

After an experience volunteering for a drag coronation thing last night, I'm confident that VML treats our volunteers extremely well, in that we don't expect them to take part in a weird humiliation ritual of picking up dollar bills off the ground whenever somebody makes it rain

This looks like Searchlight Institute is a 1990s skacore band and Recapturing The Public's Trust on Immigration is their debut album

I'm begging you, please stop adding stuff to the pride flag. Not because I'm on some reactionary shit, but because it has just been getting aesthetically uglier and uglier

I wonder how many guys who did the "only speak German to your human dog so he has to learn to respond to commands by the sound" thing from the 90s didn't really know German and just spoke gibberish in a bad accent to their sub 🤔

Sam Keith passing is kinda heavy for me. The Maxx was the only comic I got into when I was a pre-teen, which I know is an odd thing to say for a text that's primarily about disassociation, constructed identity, and sexual assault

Can anyone explain what, in the context of kink, a "Masterclass" is and how it is any different from, like, a workshop? Seems like Recon or maybe Darklands introduced it as a way to charge more money for what once was something that everyone did for free.

Thought of a really poignant essay to write yesterday and today it's just completely disappeared from my mind, ugh

Aside from having to use my broken German around speakers who only know German and Latin, the most satisfying things about this trip were seeing the buildings that Rod lived in while in university, meeting his old friends, and finding out which parks used to be cruising spots

Ok, I need to know if it would be funnier if I show up at Folsom Berlin in 2027 speaking perfect Badish or Transylvanian Saxon

New way to monetize kink for any serious FinDom guys out there: simply abduct a rich executive and only release them once their family tributes you a million dollars in unmarked bills

The cool thing about speaking a new language is that nobody cares if you talk like an idiot if you have an ok accent. Want someone to watch you? "Schau mir an!" Want to press the button to ring the doorbell? "Ich klinge!" Going to shoot a load on his face? "Ich, uh, gonna fuckin abspritzen!"

I met another Vancouverite while in Freiburg and I will protect him with my life

Giving a 101 class/workshop/thing on impact play on the 24th and it's already full. 🫣

@spacepupsilver.com that middle panel would make such a good reaction immage/sticker

Self proclaimed "Leadership" in this scene is so frequently HR professionals wanting to be the HR department of The Kinky Sex Corporation. Yeah sure man I'd love to decolonize my erection or whatever corny manager shit you are on about, it sounds super horny and fun

Nirvana - I Hate Myself and I Want To Die

The O in Crocs stands for “Old Guard”

Wearing heels and a dress on stage at IML isn't subversive anymore, but wearing Birkenstocks with white socks definitely is, in case titleholders are looking for new ways to stand out.

I know that locally I don't have this issue because we don't do contests, but imagine if instead of your local titleholder pestering you to buy a raffle ticket "for the starving children", it was instead for all the gaping holes begging to be filled. They'd be a fucking hero.

*You have joined the group "Leather Leadership Discussion"* Me: I think it's infinitely more community-minded to fundraise to rent a warehouse space for a huge fisting party than to donate it to a 501c3 [Several people are typing...]

I've been frustratingly sick since Friday evening and aside from my everything being sore and having a constant headache and having no energy, the worst aspect has easily been how I'm simultaneously bored as hell but doing literally everything takes too much effort

One exciting aspect of our new web app going live next Sunday is that the design is heavily coupled to the content so I can just tell anybody who wants to add a section with lime green text and a leather grain background image that we simply don't have the technical capabilities to handle that

There was a rat trapped in the compost bin, but I freed it by knocking the bin over with a stick and screaming and running away. I am benevolent and also very butch.

If you're findomming a straight dude you have to call tributes "breeder bucks", these are the new rules passed down from the Council of Elders

Al D. Sowers was body modification artist and educator. He co-founded the Association of Professional Piercers and was a founding member of Seattle Men in Leather. Sowers served on the boards of Generic Leather Productions and Washington State Mr. Leather.

I like that everybody in the "talking about kink into a microphone" world knows of BLUF and talks about BLUF but doesn't actually know what the acronym stands for, so there's always this pregnant pause when they're like "Boots and Leather... Unified... Fetish"

😈

You can probably see My smile

Very much in a mood to gear up, stuff my hole with a plug, and go for a ride on the Harley

Thursday fun before a trip to the bar
