In driving time, I'm about half way to Ireland, and my left arm has definitely caught the sun from resting on the door. Will have to borrow a car with the steering on the other side to even out the tan.

In the countryside. An actual hedgehog - not seen one in London for years

Drove across part of Salisbury Plain today. Lots of very dry ground, looked like a tinderbox. And the red flags flying for firing exercises. Also, mildly weird to see signs on a road warning of tanks crossing

2 hours 20 mins to go 90km, getting out of London. 1h45 to do the next 100km

Lock up your daddies! I'm on my way

Thank goodness that some of that colorful history is preserved at the @ukfetisharchive.bsky.social 🤩

All I need is a place to lay my head and, umm, plug in my CPAP machine.

Born this way, or chose "this lifestyle" ? It doesn't really matter.

I see from Instagram that it's four years today since The Backstreet closed. It was a unique space, a spiritual home for many of us, and an important part of my leather life for many years. Proud to have been associated with it, and still miss it. We won't see its like again in London, I fear.

Oh well. That that load of nonsense done with for another four years. If we'd won, we wouldn't have known what to do anyway, like a dog that finally caught a car

Best comment so far about the football: I've not been this nervous about a semi since I watched Brokeback Mountain

The Irish Parliament has today passed legislation that allows for the disregard of convictions for people who were convicted under anti-gay laws before 1993. That's almost 1700 since the founding of the state in 1922. Congrats!

My kitchen helper today is Cagney cat.

Holiday beard and hair trim

I must be getting old. I just had to resort to mole grips to open the "childproof" cap on a bottle of lead replacement fluid.

Must pack my best underwear for Ireland. I don't want to be turned back by the nuns at the border.

This is an amazing account of IMsL and IMsBB, and other things. Leather dykes go hard. I feel IML may be a vicar's tea party compared to this: defector.com/finding-frie...

Listening to the new Madonna album. Packed with mystical woo, and parts sound like one of my therapy sessions.

Leather with a flowery shirt. Groundbreaking.

A phrase you don't often hear: I just had a delightful chat with my cab driver! Brexit, politics, the gig economy, council housing, racism. I knew I was on safe ground when I saw his GMB lanyard.

Definitely got a thing for patterned linen shirts this summer

It's true. I am a shameless filthy quiche eater.

Google appears to have a higher opinion of me than I do

Phwoar! Fresh, lovely Velvia. Costs twice as much as it used to, but it's worth it for the amazing colours.

Happy Bastille Day It’s also the anniversary of my mother’s divorce, so «Vive la République» & “Smash the patriarchy”

would v much be interested in filling my East London sports pub (Stratford) with women/nb/queer people for the next few World Cup games if anyone would be interested in our currently quite free table ressies (fiver per four seats, goes to CALM charity)

For the love of perversion Kinksters, make a will and tell your close friends about it! Even when you are young, just make a boilerplate one! A couple of weeks ago a dear member of the German community passed away way before his time. His parents turned his mid 5figure gear collection into landfill

Any analogue photographers care to venture an opinion on whether this #Fujichrome #Velvia is worth trying? It's been in a warm garden shed, and the original usage date was 7.5 years ago #photography #analoguefilm

Have got some hydration salts to add to water. They're supposed to be lemon and lime flavoured. Much in the same way that MoviPrep is orange flavoured.

Think I should practise taking these glasses off in a portentous way, while uttering crap puns, like that guy in CSI: Miami

Mother always told me not to take QR codes from strange men

Have a poem. This might be a nice stop on my Ireland trip. youtu.be/jt_ibAqQbso?...

This charming tent effect is caused, in part, by the weather being so hot that the glue holding the fabric to the roof of the car has melted.

Finally got round to trimming some leather trousers I got in May..but what to do with the offcuts?

Absolutely no one deserves murdering, however much we dislike their opinions or politics. I've seen many who commented on the death of Widdecombe delete their posts once the manner of her death was known. Maybe, if you celebrated it, that's a wise thing to do.

Crafty Friday evening Perdomo Lot 23

Absolutely do this! I am suffering with heat exhaustion (dizzy spells are the worst) after a few really hot bus trips this week. It's really not fun

The news today reminds me of the power of prepositions. There's a hell of a difference between being sucked off a Ryanair flight and being sucked off on a Ryanair flight.

Doctor has given me something called Brandt-Daroff exercises to, essentially, reset my ears. God, I had this hot weather.

Awful people have often tried to rehabilitate themselves via light entertainment - Trump's first press sec. went on Dancing with the Stars, Farage on I'm a Celeb, etc - but we shouldn't be fooled. Anne Widdecombe defended a policy that saw pregnant women shackled while in labour, amongst other evil

Weird spam email suggests making custom plushies or 3D toys for the BLUF store. Hmmmm... maybe we could do a plushy version of a boot, for subs to cuddle in bed at night?

Please be careful in the heat! After my sweatbox of a ride on a bus yesterday, I'm feeling drunk when I stand up today despite not touching alcohol for four months!

Kinky feet! Available at store.bluf.com

Wednesday message: "Have you hugged your faggot today?"

I'm one of the backers for Wrath Month, an anthology of queer writing. This story of how @bonabooks.bsky.social were duped by some AI submissions is wild. Kudos to them for weeding them out, and shame on those who tried to take space from real authors. www.bona-books.com/news/we-boug...

Uggh. A really hot day in London and I forgot the milk was delivered this morning. It's been outside all day

Cat on a bondage chair.

Just filled the car up for the first time in two years. £94!

The woman from Sky TV, which has just bought ITV, is definitely not to be trusted. She referred to Coronation Street as "content," so that's going down the shitter, isn't it?

Just filling out forms for annual travel insurance. Now, there's a way to make you aware of your ageing!
