I logged in to LinkedIn to see a page full of people praising DHH, got mad, and wrote this. Less than 12 hours later I got an email telling me "Your post doesn’t comply with our Professional Community Policies on bullying and harassment. It’s been removed […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

What’s a book or series of books you have kept reading despite it getting on your nerves a little (possibly for justified or even unjustified reasons)

I find it _interesting_ that most modern portrayals of fairy tales involve kings, knights, princesses and so forth - the privileged aristocratic classes on top of the social pyramid. Even if the protagonist of such a tale is poor, they are still secretly from privileged parents, and their story […]

I'm teaching at Birmingham Fetish Weekend again this year and I cannot wait! I'll be teaching my consent and negotiation 101 class to give you a crash course in the absolute basics of kink. I'll also be there the whole weekend and you are more than welcome to come and chat to me to ask […]

Remember, "I don't know, I lack sufficient information on this topic" is NEVER an acceptable answer. Instead, loudly state the first opinion that pops into your head, speak with authority, and gaslight anyone who disagrees until they begin to question everything they know.

Please beware of the guy in the right. He's a well known abusive tist, to avoid at all costs.

Unfortunately, Kyle/Richard is at it again. Please be aware & wary! His YouTube is now changed back but wouldn't have shown my name if he hasn't messed up, though he will deny it despite my screen caps or claimed he was hacked. The truth is on my side. musclemesmerizer.com/2024/beware-...

Tech has gone from "I run Windows instead of Linux because I value my time" to "I run Linux instead of Windows because I value my time" in an awfully short period.

After years inside datacenters, it’s hard to be afraid of AI killing all humans. I've seen the "secure facility." It's a chain link fence and a guy named Gary. Night shift is usually 10-20 people. Two hundred people could shut a datacenter down with nothing but a Wikipedia article on fiber […]

[kink, safeword discussion] There are two things that people need to hold as true at the same time: 1. The stoplight system is standard, widely recognized, and you should use it as your default. 2. This does not save you from talking explicitly and specifically about safewords before starting […]

This week I made a wedding gift for the first time: an end grain cutting board with walnut, cherry, and maple, and also I recessed a custom engraved medallion on the bottom.

[hypnokink petplay] Had a nice bit of domestic kink, reading my book while stroking a pup on my lap into a blissed out state and keeping him there for a few chapters. Lot of play around his headspace. We had started with a full on centring myself in his universe, and enjoyed him in that state […]

[Moar gushing about Morrowind] One of the things that pulls me into #Morrowind every time is the feeling of being a stranger in a strange, uncaring land. The game doesn't bend itself backwards to cater to you and your whims. You're not powerful, you're not famous, you're not even respected […]
