Dominants totally do service too, like watching me as I face my fear and grab the mouse trap out of the crawl space to dispose of its contents, or helping me get it out of the crawl space, or looking at me adoringly after I feel fear from disposing of the corpse and guilt that all of it is hard.

Good morning, lovelies, especially masochists and bottoms. Let's talk about pain for a second, shall we? ❗ Never compare yourselves to other people when it comes to how much pain you can endure and how much you can suffer for your sadist. ❗ #kink #bdsm #madame #pain /1 ⬇️

Thoughtful reflection: There are certain ways one can talk to a friend that are mean and thoughtless in the moment, and the relationship can still be salvaged. But say those same things in a D/s relationship? Absent some significant reflection, apology, and discussion, that’s a dynamic-ender imo.

I’m studying for promotional exams for work, and concepts I struggled through in undergrad and grad school make so much more theoretical sense now having worked in my field for almost a decade. It’s wild. (The formulas still give me grief but I can’t have everything. 😅)

I don't believe there are standards for roles in BDSM, like you less than if you aren't _________. There's no ideal Dominant or submissive. There's just complementary. Do the play partners complement each other well.

Betrayal play, but make it so what one thought was a betrayal was actually a misunderstanding, so the betrayal floats around bouncing off the simultaneous relief like electrons, uncertain when and how to settle. ^_^

Life as a conference producer is sometimes staying on someone’s case (as kindly as possible) until all the information we need gets into the place it needs to. It feels kinda like how I imagine riding a bull might.

A person wearing tortoiseshell glasses and a brown leather jacket stands outdoors on a softly blurred sidewalk. They have short dark hair with closely cropped sides and longer curly hair swept to one side. A small septum piercing is visible. They are looking directly at the camera with a subtle, confident smile. The portrait is lit by warm natural light, creating soft highlights on the leather jacket and gentle shadows on the face. The background is out of focus, showing trees, greenery, and light-colored buildings, giving the image a professional environmental-portrait feel.

That one must achieve a certain level of skill, experience, and social capital to be recognized as a valued member of the sooper secret club. Exclusivity can serve a purpose, and it’s one I take issue with. I think the more people know about and explore BDSM, the more opportunities for connection.

Sometimes I feel like I’ve lost my ability to be a person. It feels like a part I used to know so well; I can’t see where I should be saying my lines, I remember how well I used to sell them. But I haven’t done that role in so long that it feels almost foreign, and it costs me to have lost it.

Early Edition: PMC COVlD Update, Week of Aug 17, 2026 (US) 🔥15 states/territories with COVlD outbreaks 🔥Worst in CA, AK, HI, TX, GU 🔥Reporting irregularities in TX 🔥2.2 million estimated infections/week 🔥1 in 144 people estimated infectious Details: See Alt text. 🧵(1/4)

We have posted this report 48 hours early in light of increased transmission.

The US has 15 states/territories with COVlD outbreaks, characterized by one or multiple counties at high to very high levels. The largest waves are in California, Texas, Alaska, Hawai’i, and Guam. Washington, Nevada, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, and Florida are experiencing regional outbreaks. Finally, there are isolated hot spots in north central Utah (Summit/Wasatch), north central Illinois (Boone/DeKalb), central North Carolina (Cabarrus), and northwest Connecticut (Litchfield).

There are major reporting irregularities in Texas. Of the 19 sites online this week, 3 (16%) reported with high/very high levels. Of the 20 Texas sites offline this week that have reported data for last week, 18 (90%) report high/very high levels, with 16 (80%) reporting very high levels. The reason why high and very high sites are disproportionately offline this week is unknown. This creates a major discrepancy between the PMC and CDC maps. If carrying forward last week’s data for the offline sites, the CDC would place Texas in their “high” category, with 21 of 39 sites at high/very high levels (54%), and just below the threshhold for “very high” (17/39, 44%). Houston was previously a leader in wastewater monitoring with 8 sites but has not reported any data the past two updates.
