Listen, multiple men I don't know have dm'ed me saying they like what I've posted & we should be friends. That creeps me out. To me, it's the equivalent of walking into a stranger's house, sitting at their kitchen table & asking to be best friends.
If I don't know you & you DM me for any reason, regardless of how "nice" you're being, not only am I not responding I'm probably blocking you.
Don't dm women you don't know without asking them first. #consent

Things on my writing #ToDoList that have been for multiple years:
- #Levers vs #Microscopes, and different types of technologies that augment #labor
- Work worth NOT doing, and frameworks for determining whether other people’s buy-in and #consent should be needed for a person to do something (have #agency)
- There are #RebelsInTheDeathStar (this has probably been 10 years on the to-do list 🫠)

Reuters: Exclusive-Despite new curbs, Elon Musk’s Grok at times produces sexualized images – even when told subjects didn’t consent. “Elon Musk’s flagship artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, continues to generate sexualized images of people even when users explicitly warn that the subjects do not consent, Reuters has found.”

Superb editorial by Marina Hyde in the Guardian. And #NoamChomsky ... how enraging:
"According to text signed under his first name that #Epstein sent to a lawyer and publicist in February 2019, months after the Miami Herald had run an explosive series of articles laying out the scale of Epstein’s serial underage sexual abuse and the perversion of justice that covered it up, #Chomsky sneered at “the hysteria that has developed about #abuse of women”. Wow. Never mind Manufacturing #Consent – have a read of Not Giving A Shit About Consent. I thought Chomsky cared about power and exploitative elites? Still, nice photo of him laughing it up with #SteveBannon

First in a series where I ask Claude to analyse the Two Valleys parable from various perspectives.
Sure, you could have run the stories through yourself. In fact, you still can, but this was the start of my dialogue. I centre the dialogue on my anti-Enlightenment sentiments.

Exploring the art of BDSM is a journey of trust, consent, and connection. Leather isn’t just fashion—it’s a symbol of power, presence, and ritual. Every strap, collar, and jacket tells a story of dominance, submission, and self-expression. In this world, boundaries are respected, desires are celebrated, and experiences are unforgettable. 🔗🖤 #BDSM #Leather #Consent #KinkCommunity #bdsmslave #bdsmcommunıty #faggots #leather #chastity
I lead with calm authority, structure, and responsibility.
My dominance is psychological, intentional, and grounded in consent and trust.
Leather isn’t a costume to me—it’s ritual, discipline, and presence.
I value clear communication, earned submission, and dynamics built slowly and honestly.
If you respect boundaries, intention, and the weight of power, we’ll get along just fine.

#Introduction
Back in 2016, I wrote about not being able to orgasm from oral sex.
10 years on, I've updated this post through new-but-older eyes. An in-depth piece in which I share my personal perspective on internal and external sexual pressure & expectations.

Way to make me sound like I don't understand consent, Home Assistant!
What happened is that I asked about the status of a timer *just* as that timer was expiring.
That sent it into an infinite loop of "no" until I hit the middle button.

Very encouraging to see France's ongoing progress when it comes to #consent.
