I'm not doing separate accounts anymore... while I'll post geary stuff, I'm also going to share other aspects from my life as well, like techy/nerdy stuff, or my doggos. 🏠: Chicago, IL, USA
Fucking hell... that's hot! Gonna need one of these when they (hopefully) go up for sale some day!
Working on the next iteration of the pet crawler full suit, and @switch.london was kind enough to help with measurements. He also reminded me of why I designed the suit in the first place 🤤
That terrifying moment between the code pushing to production, and the first users actually exercising the new features in the application... GearBlast:US 2026 registration has so far been running pretty smooth though, so I guess I pulled it off 🤷♂️ 😅 🎉
So much this- if you want to learn to switch, let's try: I'll tie you up in a way that we'll both like and I'll explain what I'm doing for the first few mins, then give you a proper scene... then after, you do the same to me... and I can coach you through it. I love getting to help someone learn!
Just a friendly PSA: if you are conversing with another submissive and you want them to tie you up, it doesn’t hurt/may increase your play chances if you atleast offer to switch. Sometimes they don’t mind just tying you up, other times they will jump at the opportunity to flip😜
You may not be able to change the whole world, but you can change some people's entire world.
When I lived in OKC still, I used to dread the end of IML and going home. There wasn’t an active gay kink community at the time and it just felt very lonely waiting for someone to change that. Until we realized we had to be the ones to change that. So we started monthly gear nights a bar crawl.
Baby, where the hell is my husband? What is taking him so long to find me? Tell him if you see him, baby, if you see him Tell him, tell him he should holler
Feeling cocky he donned the leather pants of a bondage suit and a sci fi hood with a gag underneath for kicks & posed for some pics. Afterward he learned the hood was locked on until he complied with the entire bondage suit & a weekend as a service drone. No one ever saw “Jim” again after that.
Not sure if this is good news for me or not but now we know what happens when @tyb.hm puts the nipple clamps back on after a short break... 📸 @chicagogear.bsky.social
I’m being a good boy again. Let’s make sure I’m locked for awhile. Like = 1 hour Comment = 2 hours Repost = 6 hours
Got to surprise the gear heads who went to the GearBlast hockey scrimmage with custom pucks to commemorate GearBlast:US 10th annual event. 10th anniversary logo art designed by @sniperboyfriend.bsky.social
Got to show @subpupspot.bsky.social one of my favorite bondage setups this weekend… inflatable mattress under the sleepsack which is roped down to the table, have the sub get in, do up the sleepsack very tight, then inflate the mattress so everything gets even tighter
Apparently I offended a lot of people when I played with @itskuva.bsky.social back in June and put him in loose asymmetrical bondage… So this weekend we made sure to keep it as symmetrical and as tight as possible 😈
Because I haven’t played enough hockey in the last 12 days (sarcasm)… what’s one more game…?! LOLOLOLOLOL
When the choice is to sit on the couch with the humans, or on the floor with the doggos… 🤣

"Proximity is what most often creates understanding, empathy, and compassion... Proximity changes perceptions." [Wallis, Jim. The False White Gospel, 2024] I've been thinking about this a lot lately...
Looking forward to the Market Days Classic hockey tournament that the Chicago Gay Hockey Association is hosting soon... Who else am I going to see on the ice?
Some new toys arrived the other day... what say you? Do I need to post a photo of someone wearing one of them? (These aren't magnetic... they actually close with a screw, so they are very secure once properly installed)
This is a real problem... I've seen several sites over the years have to rework features, or shut down entirely because they can't accept common methods of payment or banks refuse them as customers. Doing work for a small non-profit, even I had to make changes to appease the pmt processor, or no $$
Really appreciate the few people who reached out with kind messages the last while. Pouring your heart and soul into community can be really draining at times, and I question if it's really worth it. Those acts of kindness can mean the difference between persevering and walking away. With ❤️, Ty
What’s that @subpupspot.bsky.social? The bitch suit over your catsuit wasn’t tight enough? Don’t worry, these leather straps can go much tighter, and you can struggle all you want against them!
I wasn't close with this person, but I'd met him a few times going back 10+ years - this is still a loss that hurts. In less than 2 years this is the 3rd person I've personally known in the kink community who has died doing inhalant play alone, and I know there's more. For fuck's sake, play safer.
As some of you may know, a member of the Chicago FF community passed away this week due to an overdose of Maximum Impact. My deepest condolences to their loved ones for their loss. For those who may not know, Maximum Impact (ethyl chloride) is a dangerous product. It's been around in the FF ...
I wasn’t allowed out of the steel Parus restraints and chains until @itskuva.bsky.social said I could be out… little did he know that I was going to turn the tables on him. And yes, I was feeling particularly sadistic, which is why he’s in loose asymmetrical bondage 😈
Never really thought I'd be into heavy steel Parus restraints, but @subpupspot.bsky.social and @sirdex9300.bsky.social didn't really give me a choice... Let this serve as your reminder to try new things... it might just make your dick harder than you thought it would.
