Our tapestry has not one color, one material, nor one design. We are more than that #IMLBB

#BDE is quiet, relaxed, confident, authentic, humble.

You can fight change or participate in change. Either way it never needs your permission. How do you want to operate in your world?

Mass has ended. Go in peace #IMLBB2026

Because they don't teach us in schools #passiton

Be shy not from love, health, and happiness. #gayagenda

There is a healthy limit to how many times we should lead a horse to water if they just aren't going to drink it.

How the days stack up starts with how we regulate our attitudes through them.

True connection begins with letting people into our protected heart spaces.

What happened at the Tool Shed is exactly why an organization like ONYX SoCal-Southwest exists in the first place. Our community needs to collectively effect and enforce better behavior on the part of businesses and individuals to end #discrimination. Wherever you find your podcasts #atouchofgay

Immediate, honest, conciliatory and followed with action.

Truth isn't always pretty but must exist.

Loving and understanding ourselves is the key to meeting the world where it's at. #acceptance

Do I trust my intuition? Do I have confidence to act on a feeling or hunch?

We can vote to overrule our inner dictatorship of habits and patterns.

A little disconnect the power cable and wait 30 seconds works well for the router, so......

Let those you care about know it through your actions.

Consent etiquette for NSFW DMs is a thing folks, submission is of equal value to dominance, and yes you can recover from chemsex. All of that and more this week on #atouchofgay podcast. Everywhere you find your podcast and on YouTube.

Like so many of society's warped templates we've had to rise above, the notion that being submissive or surrendering is the weaker value must be left shed.

Today on the pod some shared wisdom from @bybobbybox.bsky.social on the value of submission, a little etiquette on sharing NSFW pics in those DMs, the AfterMeth Podcast, and sober recovery resources for those in the leather, fetish, and kink community youtu.be/5gLfkvGgDjM

We shall not regret the past nor shut the book on it.

Whether it's meth and sex or alcohol and the club - #recovery from addiction is about accepting and truly becoming ourselves without the need to medicate.

It's time to come out of the cave boys! #springtime

It's that time of year to reconnect with mother nature and put our hands in the soil.

Going along to get along, editing our vocal tone, dressing down, changing words like "boyfriend" to "roommate" in mixed company? It's called code switching. It's inauthentic and it hurts us deeply.

Three weeks till #IML2026 and time for a fresh couple of garments to make. #leathermen #leatherman #leathercraft

Our community by its nature has room for all shades of our soul. #leathermen #leatherman

Happy #LesbianVisibilityDay

Dallas police raid #cumunion CU Events party and arrest promoters, #IML2026 International Mr. Leather, Inc., and congrats to latest Mr. Leather 2026 title winners! youtu.be/Njw32qo4_DI

On video shoot day for our weekly episode of #atouchofgay podcast, taking joy from the #sockmonkey coffee cup that appears in every show.

A few words of wisdom and celebration from Leo Herrera @herreraimages.bsky.social from his book Analog Cruising.

Being ourselves entirely without fear or regret is a gift.

If you're in the meadow frolicking from one flower to the next, be sure to clean your parts and wash out your mouth before landing on the next one.

This too shall pass like the weather.

It may take some time and travels for some, but being comfortable in one's skin is winning life's lottery. #leather #scruff #leathermen
