Hi there - and nice pic, got my attention ;-) I do have some suggestions, let's talk! I worked ren fests for years and am also active in both leather and cosplay, and there's a lot you can wear across all 3 if that's of interest. Here's one on the cosplay side

-Red Flags 101 – BDSM edition- How do you indulge your desires for playing on the wild side and still stay safe? How can you tell the fakes from the real thing? And what are some key ways to find all this out ahead of time instead of after things go wrong?

-Negotiation, Consent, Fetish and Flirting- So you see someone hot across the room. How do you safely and gracefully move your fantasies into reality? Flirting, negotiation (why it makes your sex and scenes hotter), and how to move negotiation into consent (and keep it in consent).

Hello world! It's been quite a year, and I've been fairly quiet. I'll start catching up on some of those stories soon. In the meantime, here's a recent Friday night pic for tax, and another post in a few minutes.

I know I missed at least 10 communities. At least. so please DM me - As gently as you can Or tag your communities in the comments. Stories I think help all of us

Alan D @alanleather.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

Every community group in the world has members that do not accurately represent their whole community. Not news to anyone in the Con, SciFi, RenFest,Leather, Kink, Religion, Pageant, LGBTQ+, Titles and more. Value your community? please speak out - GENTLY and with compassion. for tax - a fox

I think this is one of my favorite pieces of yours.

It doesn't have to be expensive - wifi security cam with phone app is a good start. You can get motion alerts and also check in at all times. I leave the audio feed running, because I want to know.

Huh, given recent FDA action, this jock might be a collector's item now IYKYK

Here's a fun "then and now," and if anybody out there doesn't know what the 80s looks like, it's the pic on the left :-). Northboundleather does beautiful leather. Just a little cheeky (yah I'll pun occasionally) @michaeltattersall.bsky.social please tag the Northbound profile

While running the Ohio Ren Fest, the Dublin OH Irish fest was close. Great bands, it was a great time, I had the best Reuben of my life from a local food truck - And one year they looked at the press pics for Flogging Molly and said - Great, they wear suits, respectable, this should be perfect Heh

Is "The Ghost of Merle Haggard" an album name or a novel in progress? If it's a novel I want to read it to find out how the Sex Pistols tie in

010

Alan D @alanleather.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

I have been through this from both sides. I also think this is better as a conversation than posts I've done both sides of this if you wanna dm?

Alan D @alanleather.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

You know, sometimes the best activism comes from telling stories. Stories allow people to find the similarities with people they thought were different. Jesus did it with parables. Whether you identify as christian or not, it's still a long standing and effective tool.

Whee! sometimes it's fun saying yes to an event and not knowing what all will happen. I haven't stopped having adventures. If there is a through line in my life, it's having adventures

If he hadn't had a straight sales partner along, he might have gotten invited in

He tries to continue the conversation by mentioning I'm not wearing green on St Patrick's day, and says "you know what that means" as he makes pinching gestures. I look him dead in the eye and say "Hey now. Don't tease me" and uncomfortable laughter ensues.

Alan D @alanleather.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

As they are trained, he complimented me on something. Which happens to have been a very custom pig t-shirt. I tell him I have a security company and oh look, there are two cameras on my porch already.

Salesmen who knock randomly on my door should expect a bit of mischief. Story in the comments.

The theme for Texas Bear Round up this year was Bears in Wonderland, with lots of Mad Hatter Tea Party references. So I decided to briefly go mad tonight - Hatter, that is.

I'm a bit behind on Bluesky, I'll be honest. I collared Scott last week, and most of you have already congratulated us on FB. So you don't have to react to this, really, you don't. I say this for us. Hello world! @hungryffpig.bsky.social
