No, Mr. Horse, don’t worry, I certainly don’t have a Plinko down here! What I do have is this lovely cask of wine, specifically for horses, Amontillado in fact! Exquisite vintage.

I know you’re not supposed to be in this hospital, but if you’ll just follow me down this corridor—no, that’s not blood on the floor, it’s color theory, I’ll explain it later—I can bring you to this cask of wine that is certainly NOT a plinko machine—

hey idk if y'all know this but dont put cigarettes out on dry skin without being okay with an actual fuck ton of damage. lemme explain:

i see too many people (mostly new doms with too much to prove) reduce cigarette play to ONLY fully extinguishing the cig on dry skin. i say dry as in "no one spit there first." this is a third degree burn. it will melt past ur actual skin tissue and reach fat and muscle. i once knew a girl who fully lost motion in three fingers because of having a cigarette put out on the back of her hand. Similarly i knew someone whose kink inflicted cig burn got seriously fucking infected, and because of how deep the burn goes - the infection almost got into his blood stream.

i seriously seriously suggest you start with talking about the implications of long lasting, serious tissue damage to your dom/sub before EVER doing this; and especially never out of no where with someone you have never got consent for this for. The tissue damage is lasting, and awful. its comparable to a deep gouge, or a serious chemical burn.

So. How do u practice cigarette play safely? well, to start, as you would with ANY fucking kink, talk it out. Make sure both sides of the act are fully aware and fully consentinf. Next; there are actually a lot of really fun and safe ways to use cigarette burns.

Firstly, if its about pain (and if you watch older european bdsm films u will already know this one) brushing the cherry (lit tip) of a cigarette across the skin in short, deliberate bursts. this induces both pain and shock, but leaves little to no lasting damage. be careful as to position the cig on its side, and glide across the skin. if the cherry snags the skin and it ashes, this can become unsexy fast. something about a loose hot coal is harder to control yourself under.

SECONDLY, remember how i specified dry? well, spit and piss freaks out there rejoice because simply pooling some liquid on a spot before putting out a cigarette will nulify a lot of the fire before it can reach the skin. this has the same dominating effect, and involves spitting on ur sub, which everyone loves. you can also pool spit into the end of your/their tongue and put it out there. This one rarely hurts if done right.

if you want a scar, then thats okay. just make sure you know the risks, and practice safe kink. wash the spot immediately afterwards. Make sure the doms hands have been recently sanitized/washed, and that its done in a somewhat clean enviroment. alleyways are fine if ur aftercare game is godly. bandage the wound up as soon as the act is over.

do not neglect this, especially as a dom. It is your fucking place to make sure you aren't doing legitimate, unwanted harm to your sub. failing to do that much, the bare minimum, is honestly fucking pathetic. dont be pathetic. take care of ur subs. take care of urself! nobody wants to find out that what they thought was a consensual kink act was actually awful for your partner.

love yall be safe!

went to the grocery store yesterday and saw they had some cheddar cheese on sale. i noticed a middle aged woman filling her entire hand basket with these discounted aged cheddar blocks, hand movements frantic and eyes set with determination. i reached over and grabbed a block from the discount bin. she snapped out of her reverie and quietly asked “do you want some more?” i said no i only want one block. she looked horrified. are you sure, she asked. yeah, i responded, plunking the block in next to my spinach. she began explaining that she and her friends really like this particular cheese. she sounded horrified. she was stumbling on her own words. i left quickly, feeling like i walked into something i shouldnt have seen. a private moment between this woman and her cheeses. i hope she is doing okay and is eating her cheese.

I bet if a mushroom could lap water out of your hand with a tongue that a gently drinking mushroom tongue on your hand would be the softest and gentlest thing.

being aware of the impact of things we can often not think about (like straws) is important if we’re to make strides on environmental preservation 

that does not eclipse the importance of being aware of how it impacts disabled people. they’re both conversations we need to have

i hate being on my corny shit but sometimes mass movements and protest movements can be very beautiful. they bring out the worst and best in humanity. during the arab spring, when people were camped out in tents in tahrir square, there were so many beautiful moments that it convinced a whole nation to believe in a better future. i find it difficult to talk about now but it was the collective sense of community—the feeling of being responsible for everyone, for living on principle instead of self-preservation for once in your life. many people risked their lives for other people during the protests. people died for strangers who were no longer strangers. sometimes it was also small things: funny signs, doctors volunteering medical aid, people giving out food and water, muslims protecting churches, christians protecting muslims while they're praying. things like that. and i've seen a lot of people and countries have protest movements since then and i think everyone feels the same way, when you're within a mass movement, there is a sense of hope and determination that is so much stronger than fear. everyone falls in love with their country, everyone falls in love with their people, suddenly a country you hate is a country you're willing to die for

these kind of protest movements were easy to call beautiful and easy to call powerful bc they were so obviously against a tyrannical force. and yes while the regimes did call the protestors everything from spoiled kids to infiltrators to traitors, the world usually saw it for what it was. and the protestors had a sense of pride about it. the eyes of the world are on us, we matter, we're making a difference

truthfully i think the campus protest movement has escalated so suddenly and is so maligned that nobody is taking a moment to call it what it is. it is very brave and it is very beautiful. in some ways i find it more touching than protest movements for your own country and your own future, because while the protests for palestine are also about what it means to be a citizen of a nation complicit in genocide, many of these protestors are just there because they care about palestinians. some of them are there against their better interests; risking their academic careers, their personal safety, their future. in the case of anti-zionist jews many are risking their communities and their familial relationships. i just saw a video of a USC student in the middle of a literal police riot where her classmates are being brutalized by cops being asked if she's scared and she said "no, i think the children in gaza are more scared than i am." on a human level, this is so moving. it's truly the best and bravest of america there, and it's so sad to me that some people can't see that.

last week speaking out for palestine was risky, but this week it has taken personal and physical bravery to show up, and people (mainly young people of color) have absolutely shown up. this is no small thing. it really isn't. its a historic thing. and i promise you if you think i'm exaggerating by comparing US campus protests to arab spring protests—a lot of arab spring students are on US campuses right now and they see the parallels too. the response to the protests has been american in the way america was in the 60s and 70s, but it is starting to take the shape of a broader and much more global crackdown, where militarized police brutality is the norm. this is familiar to everyone in sudan, in egypt, in palestine. university campuses and students go from safe havens to targets for punishment overnight. things are changing very rapidly right now; a lot of the things said about college campuses last week don't apply as of today.

there is a sense that these protests are full of spoiled and innocent kids and that is transparently not true. these are people (including grad students, faculty, etc) who have also experienced upheaval across the world and in their own communities. the fact that they're receiving the same treatment on university campuses now as protestors did in ferguson, as people have on their streets, means that while US colleges are profit-oriented neoliberal institutions and their administrators are fascists, their student bodies are on the forefront of history once again.

"i use it/its pronouns" is actually a code word for "i am a really cool and epic person" so if u see someone w/ that or similar in its bio be sure to befriend it and be there for it and listen to it and hug it cuz it is so cool it deserves it!!!
