Opening a slot or two with 15% discount to cover taxes tomorrow :) DM me for a slot in the queue

Starbucks culture is just cocktail culture but for waking up instead of getting drunk send skeet

I turn 39 today and man that does a number on personal reflection. I do my best to spend my time firmly living in "age is a construct, not a determination" mindset, but something about these past few birthdays has stung hard in the introspection department. Anyway I want sicilian pizza.

It’s generally been a rough year for everyone, I know, but it’s also hard not to reflect back on individual setbacks, missed goals, and general loneliness this past year and feel a personal guilt or disappointment, despite knowing full well it’s not my fault.

In a funk today.

Tryin' to figure out what I wanna do for my birthday dinner tonight. Dinosaurs don't wanna go into the city, but I don't wanna eat at just another chain restaurant. Hm.

Something I’m proud of: rolling my own Mattermost instance on PikaPods (with calling and screensharing!) between last night and today. Looks to cost me less than Discord Nitro Basic per month to operate, too, for up to 500 users. HOST 👏 YOUR 👏 OWN 👏 SHIT

Speech protip: if one side is "I believe I have the right to exist as a human being" and the other side is "I believe we should imprison, jail, torture, or kill someone for being a human I don't think should exist", then you don't have to "both-sides" this issue. You can just ban the Nazi.

In the event I get banned from BlueSky for not being enough of a Nazi to earn protection from the mods, you can hit me up at my website (kinkysaurus.com) or my FA (furaffinity.net/user/jtur) or my Weasyl (www.weasyl.com/~stegosaur).

Dunno who needs to hear this other than @moderation.bsky.app but: This site is a private place. Freedom of Speech does not apply here. The owners of the site get to decide what they do and don't want to happen on here. That means the speech they do and do not allow reflects their values.

No. Your friends don't secretly hate you. You're just dehydrated.

Other fun things you can host on PikaPods for pennies a day: * Mattermost or Rocket.Chat, a Slack/Discord replacement * FreshRSS, an RSS Reader and Aggregator * Flarum, a discussion board * NextCloud, a GDocs alternative Seriously, go look through their catalog sometime. It's easy to start.

Something I'd like more of ya'll to internalize is that you don't need formal education or deep technical knowledge to just throw up a basic website for your art and social links. You don't need to spend thousands of dollars, either. You just gotta read, problem solve, and persevere.

Hey. You need a website of your own, because corpos are going to ban your queer and/or sexually-liberated ass first chance they get, and because the resurgence of far-right authoritarianism means social media flatly isn't safe as your primary means of interaction. So I'm making this thread. 1/5

Fuck @moderation.bsky.app for banning @jetthedrake.bsky.social while still letting Nazis and Fascists threaten queer folk like me with death and violence. If you refuse to kick out the Nazis, you become a Nazi bar.

Two things I think we, as a community but also as a species, could do better: 1) Taking unconditional accountability when we fuck up 2) Forgiving those who accept unconditional accountability for their fuckups instead of lording it over them on socials

Lol, the AI Griftos are starting their own banlist of anyone who isn’t dicksucking the AI industry. Sure, you go girl, alienate the sources of your stolen works.

One hurdle I keep seeing folks place in front of themselves (myself included) when it comes to self-hosting: 24x7 availability. Here’s the thing: your site or services don’t need 24/7 availability. Some downtime is totally fine. What’s important is that it’s easy to setup, operate, and fix.

Communities/Fandoms: “Ugh, this platform is restricting our speech. Let’s move to another, centrally-controlled platform!” Deus Ex, 2000, Tracer Tong: “As long as technology has a global reach, someone will have the world in the palm of his hand.”

Hey, EU friendos, you’ve got some calls to make and politicians to harass: metalhearf.fr/posts/chatco...

Sorry, but if you look cute in diapers, you need to be kept in diapers. That's the rules.

Man, I’d love to work for/under a boss professionally who also trains, disciplines, and regresses me personally outside of work. I think that sort of “continuous feedback” would be great for my career and personal life alike.

This entire snippet reminded me of a short story I wrote about a Culture-like ship that itself was an ABDL nursery, and a collection of inhabitants discussing their travels and kinks along the way: www.furaffinity.net/view/55080844/ More good ABDL fic please!

Damn, SMS scammers be using read receipts now to get pissy when I don’t respond or delete their messages. Straight up, if you somehow have my number and SMS me blindly, imma delete and report as spam unless I have your number in my contacts. Full-stop, no exceptions.

Everyone go wish the little pup @dlczar.bsky.social a happy birthday!

The problem with self-bondage (and in fact most bondage) is that I escape it too easily. I’ve slipped out of medical restraint mittens, out of muzzles and cuffs and segufix briefs. I can pick common locks, use my teeth and tongue to loosen buckles. I need a counterparty to deter/discipline attempts

another day on the modern internet

I feel like a pallet of diapers shouldn’t come with discrete packaging. Shout it loud and proud on the pallet wrap these are adult diapers. Considering that’s *at least* 320 diapers, why worry about discretion anymore?

Tired: buying diapers by the case Wired: buying diapers by the pallet.

Dunno who needs to hear this, but bigotry is NOT a conservative value. Bigotry is its own thing, whether it’s racism, xenophobia, queerphobia, sex-shaming, or whatever else. The “conservatives” saying it’s okay to be those things aren’t conservative at all, they’re hatemongers to be evicted.

Pondering replacing my bed again, and just like before I’m hung up on if I want a crib, a cage, or just a nice dungeon bed. The mattress is easy enough (firm), but it’s the bed itself where I’m stumped.

As someone with speech-specific APD, this is legit how it can feel sometimes. If I’m asking you to repeat yourself, it’s because I can’t understand you!

Regressing app/phone/social media addicts as punishment. “If you’re going to manage your attention like a baby, I’ll treat you like one.” Over time you re-teach them critical thinking, logic, reasoning, and reading skills, but they’ll never be out of diapers and kidcore again.

Friendly reminder that you should get the fuck off TikTok. Not simply because it uses dark patterns to manipulate your psychology into continuous use and possible addiction, but also because the US sale is into the hands of far-right billionaire authoritarians who will use it to indoctrinate you.

Part of me really wants to respond to the various “followers be honest” memes, but I‘m also incredibly horny on main here and don’t want to risk futzing up a friendship. That being said? All you fellas would be in diapers if I had my way. 24/7, forever, no control left.

If folks really wanted to protest BlueSky you'd set yourself up a private PDS that you own and just connect into their protocol, robbing them of that direct data stream - and thus the control over it, unless they want to change how relays work.

ABDL littles don't use weed to regress - we use weed to get back to being adults while still making sure we're not getting any ideas about agency or independence again. A bringer-upper, not a shrinker-downer.

Ew. Telegram is doing NFTs without the portability and calling them “gifts”. Discord keeps shoehorning mtx into their clients as well. I fucking hate this enshittification.

Friendly heads-up that @kinkysaurus.bsky.social is NOT ME. No clue who they are, and they haven't done anything wrong, but just getting it out there that they're not remotely associated with me, my site, or my commissions.

American Mass Media: "Any MAN not drinking beer and neat spirits is a GODDAMN WUSSIE." Cocktail Culture: "Oh, god, have you *tasted* gin neat? That shit's disgusting! Let's add some raspberry syrup, fresh lemon juice, and get freaky with an egg white for some emulsion."

As I work on my cocktail journal/database, I'm imagining how I might build my bar in an apartment. Keeping glassware chilled is the complicated part - our apartment fridge lacks room to keep glassware chilled at all times.

Strong desire for a Tiffany-style lamp with a contemporary base and designed for LED lighting. Contemporary + Art Deco just go so hard together, to my sensibilities, especially with natural wood grains and textiles.

Yessssss. Sign me up.

Turns out that when I get tipsy, I really just want to kiss and grope another guy. Really strong desire to just squeeze a diaperboy's crotch or butt while kissing their neck in bed last night, maybe with some LoFi music on and dimmed sunset lighting.

A really excellent post I think more of ya'll should take to heart: jmarriott.substack.com/p/the-dawn-o... It's not alarmist, or a knee-jerk reaction to technological "progress", but a well-reasoned essay on how and why our society continues to fray in an era of "post now, read never".

All my stuff is available on my website. The password can be had by DMing me. I’ve actually got a backlog of stuff to upload, so stay tuned for that. Heck, I even have RSS feeds to deliver kinky dinosaurs to your chosen reader.

Look, this is going to come off as insensitive to some of ya’ll but imma power through it anyway: You keep moving to someone else’s platform every time your current platform implements new community guidelines that restrict art, which thus far has never solved the core problem.

Huh, so this is what tipsy feels like. I can see why folks naturally like this headspace, very “fumbly” and fun. Incidentally, I had a Jack Rose tonight! Except I used full ounces instead of half-ounces and made it a highball. 16oz of whisky, I think. Hooboy.

Imma be blunt with ya'll: with the prices of everything going up, I strongly suggest learning how to build and maintain a PC and buying more stuff from DRM-free outlets like GOG. Own your shit. Don't pay $80 for a digital rental or a serial key burned onto a plastic card. Buy physical media.
