Aw no I’m sorry 😞

What’s canceled??

Ah yeah, if it’s raised that’s probably still some really small scabbing there. Good call.

If it has no scabs, likely. If you are scared of it, just make sure the water isn’t too hot.

Me too.
Let’s love even harder.

Earlier, I posted that they both live in Kansas and I apologize for that, my Canadian ass reacted fast and my brain did not parse the difference. Still, it’s not a great situation and I only want the best for my friend.

Nyxie is my friend. She lives on the Missouri side of Kansas city, but recent legislation affects hers and her partners daily lives. It’s likely unsafe for them to remain in the area long term. If you can, please help my friend relocate.

Sorry, I got overwhelmed about it. I will fix that.

By request, boosting this thread with resources for queer Kansans.

Don't despair. I've lived through times like this before (albeit not as intensely negative). These are the times when the community comes together to keep us all safe. ♥️

Sometimes the hardest events in our life give way to some of the best.

I’ve always believed in what you make. Don’t be afraid to raise your prices, you deserve fair compensation and I think your free stream idea is great ❤️

Hope I can stop by in one of your streams sometime 💖

We're holding a #fursuit auction to make a donation to ACLU Kansas as they work to oppose SB 244.

SB 244 is an anti-transgender bill that has invalidated the driver’s licenses and birth certificates of people who have changed their gender markers on these documents.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

That’s why education about this is so important. Imagine an alternate life where I knew who I was earlier; maybe I wouldn’t be so “late” in life. It’s a common sentiment for trans folks: I wish I’d started earlier.

I’d avoided a lot of pain and resentment. Education and representation matter.

Isn’t it funny that I felt gay before I ever felt trans? It felt gay to be with men. Or, maybe it’s just that I had to words to say “gay” but didn’t have the words to express that I am trans. Looking back, as a child, I never did feel like a girl and it felt like the greatest effort to emulate that.

HUFF!! Man 😩😩😩

Yeah. I have no idea how I was operating before. And of course, looking at photos of me before and seeing how uncomfortable I looked. I wish I knew sooner; there were some very ugly years. But of course, I didn’t have the language or the understanding. Something was wrong, but I didn’t know what.

I should be sleeping. But I can’t help but yell into the void: Testosterone fucking saved my life. I never thought I’d ever have a grip on identity or that I’d even live this long.

It’s cruel to assume that I, or anyone else, was ever doing this for attention. It’s cruel to take that away.

You kidding? That shampoo bottle was PLENTY entertaining.

Here's mine; games from all over my life; if I could, I would add more.

Also, if someone calls themselves an expert but isn't candid about where their expertise ends, where their blind spots are, and what they're working on learning next, then they are not an expert; they're just Joe Dunning-Kruger.

Oh my god yes. I need float time.

I wanna come into the 90s 3D render dimension to lay down, if that's cool

Finally, I am not an expert. At best, I consider myself intermediate. I have been playing seriously for maybe 5 years and was doing it here and there experimentally before hand. It's fine for me to share knowledge; it isn't ok to claim that I know best. Thank you for hearing me rant. 🙏

Learning from a reputable source doesn't just protect the people involved; it protects our community. Learn your craft safely, be proud. Be smart. We are all stewards of this community and we all have the power to keep each other safe so that we can all play for MANY years to come!

7/8

As impact tops, we have an absolute duty to keep the person we are playing with as safe as we reasonably can: anyone who disagrees with this isn't a proper sadist, they're cruel.

Negotiate scenes properly and understand what you're doing. Know what SSC and RACK are. Clean implements.

6/8

Just having the vibe can prevent you from learning bad habits. It can prevent someone from being seriously injured. A person that claims to be proficient, a teacher and/or an expert in using whips, knives or other advanced techniques after only a short amount of time is someone to be wary of.

5/8

Pay attention to who calls themselves an expert. Don't be afraid to ask questions to the person you're learning from. "How long have you been doing this?", "What's your favourite part about X?". Pay attention to how they answer; it's okay to decide that this person isn't a fit for teaching you
4/8

For some of us, this is a way of life. Like any other craft, it deserves respect; we're playing with people's bodies. We are playing with their health and their pain.

This begs the question, who are you learning from?

3/8

Our community's knowledge has been built upon ages of experience and there are amazingly knowledgeable people out there. That knowledge is built upon years of hard work, learning, making mistakes and bonding with other members of the community.
