Belated Latex day photo. Fetish week is incoming and the suit will get some use, even in the hot weather.

throwback to Folsom Europe last year because apparently it‘s international latex day today

also a little rubber jiggle

It was good to be back. Looking forward to seeing how different I am next time 👀 Thank you to anyone who can spare anything towards my gofundme… genuinely every little helps 🥰

Once again, I am donning the mantle of Wise Elder, to reveal the secrets of the leather world. This time: Totally True Facts about title contests

RE: https://woof.group/@aphyr/116742819897469283 Seriously people. Turn the music down at socials! Why does everywhere insist on loud blairing music in social spaces.

#BlueSky folks, if you want me to see more than that you've replied, then you either need to follow Bridgy or not be set to signed in users only or just stop making it difficult and use your fediverse account instead.

There is so much that could be lost easily. It's always worth talking to your nearest queer archive - many of them will happily accept digital submissions. And you can often put restrictions, or a time limit - like not publicly available for 50 years - on stuff.

I very much appreciate people archiving things. A good example is the Tchick-Tchick site by @lthredge.bsky.social Its an archive of all his Educational videos up to 2023 all in one place. tchicktchick.com

Life Drawing at Hunter Weekender was so much fun! Slightly different type of objectification than I’m used to 👀

I'm not always the best with my words when it comes to speaking but I know from my experiences in the leather scene that what I'm doing is my means of giving back full circle as a Bootblack.

People ask me all the time “Buck, how do you keep your beard so neat after hours at the bootblack stand?” It’s because I’m doing this when no one is looking…

In exciting news I have lower surgery booked in for next year! Being true to form and not able to make a decision (enby, pan) I’m going to end up with an extra hole and keeping the D. I feel awkward asking but I’m doing some fundraising to cover travel and hotels and stuff: ko-fi.com/puploki/goal

Today was the 13th birthday of the London Leather Social. That event has meant a lot to me. It's where I met so many people I know and care for today. And it's where I first started publicly bootblacking, tucked away in the corner.

Because I know some of you love a bit of snark...

If a quarter of the accounts on Bridgy Fed donated $1/mo, we could run completely on community donations for the long-term. Please help us continue to be an independent non-profit!

Joining for the Hunter Weekender? See the detailed schedule, including the Saturday sessions 😈 I’ll be the subject during the Heavy Impact Play: Safety & Couple Dynamics session at 2PM Saturday on the Top Floor 💪🏏 www.hunterweekender.co.uk/calendar @brewhunter.bsky.social @bighandsff.com

Since the beginning, users of @bsky.app have been subjected to anti-blackness, transphobia, and other types of discrimination with a frustrating lack of transparency from @safety.bsky.app with proper corrective actions. Ergo, the response has always been “Listening and learning”

We’re excited to announce NorthSky Social Cooperative where we are building a new ATproto platform for the benefit of marginalized communities that prioritizes the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. After increasing hostility toward these communities we are taking action to provide a platform built by and for us

It appears the government won't be satisfied until it has hounded trans people out of society altogether. The Government are choosing every moment and mechanism they can to demonstrate they don't care about their lives. We have to draw the line. Reject the framework.

The more I see bluesky speed run puritanical enshitification, the more glad I am I stayed put and just bridged my mastodon. https://giants-club.net/articles/just-use-mastodon/

Glad to see my MP, Diane Abbott, has signed this motion. I wrote to her; you can find my letter and use it as inspiration for writing to your own MP at nigelwhitfield.com/resources

I stand with trans and non binary people. This is a difficult and scary time - and the Govenrment must reject the framework. It's vital that everyone is treated with dignity and care and far too often trans and non binary people aren't. Solidarity always 🏳️‍⚧️

Discrimination based on gender identity or expression is illegal in New York City. Trans New Yorkers are protected by law. Our City will protect your rights, defend your humanity and stand beside you without hesitation.

This weekend I came over for iced rose tea, gossip and then a rubber photo shoot with @rubberboyseraph.bsky.social bootblackcub.com/blog/rubber-... #Rubber #Latex #RubberBear

Love sharing my scent with friends @fullbodiedscout.bsky.social

The calls to get kink out of Pride originate in right wing forums, as a way to split our community. And look carefully - you can see similar tactics used against trans people. They claim kinky people are having sex in Pride Marches. They claim trans people want children mutilated.

How about a Twitter throw back!

If anyone knows of a remote QA role going in a company that isn't forcing AI into everything and won't make me work until 11pm because they hate QAs, hit me up ✌️

Americans think British people are wimps for complaining about the heat. But what you don't realise is that most British houses were actually built in Britain, a cursed island that hates us.

OK, kids, buckle up. And let me - a wise elder - tell you the not at all made up, honest, story of how a leather man earns his cap.

The post heard round the world! Thanks to @davidpierce.xyz and @reckless.bsky.social for their undying support of the open social web. Nilay has been relentlessly executing on a vision that is going to light the way forward for digital media.

Rene does his “Last Shine” as International Mr. Leather to kick off at Spit Shine in the Florentine Room, 3rd Floor! #bootblack #iml #lastshine #spitshine

The faggotry levels in Soho were disappointing today. At the gay bars the shorts were mostly over 5-7" inseams. And baggy tee shirts. Standards are falling everywhere. We used to be a real country.

Charli's "SS26" is such a text, she's not leaving herself a single breadcrumb back to brat, it's so confident, so sure, it's thrilling www.youtube.com/watch?v=twLh...

No compliance. Ever. Our trans siblings, we will fight for you.

My exact type is any man/masculine adjacent person who looks like the reincarnation of a Bronze Age Hillfort chief.

If you look like you would have plentiful grave goods and a prime spot in the burial mound please HMU.

If you're in London and like leather, give this a go. Simon is a great guy and it'll be good to bring some leather to the Eagle again.

In 80 days I’ll be a real (pussy)boy. Surgery date is all booked! So excited! gofund.me/68d137fd9 - putting this here if anyone can spare some loose change - every little helps 🥰 Have this delightful little look into the future thanks to @speedychopslover.bsky.social 😘

BREAKING: Boston City Council just unanimously passed a resolution condemning dangerous age verification and censorship laws, including the proposals put forward by @massgovernor.bsky.social and the MA House. Backlash to age gating social media is growing! www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2026-05...
