queer armys could literally just be like “as a queer person many of the themes and symbols bts use prominently in their art feel very familiar, personal and comforting” and would still get jumped by cishets/bootlicking lgbt armys calling them freaks. Oh wait  that literally does happen

Weirdcord modchat and the exposure of minors to inappropriate material (Edit: Read reblogs and replies for more experiences)
TW// mention(s) of grooming, minors being exposed to NSFW content, uncomfortable situations, mention of sexually explicit conversation I've been kind of inactive on discord recently and somebody brought it to my attention that Gib (@godenteredmybody and owner of Weirdcord) had to make an announcement on Weirdcord that minors will no longer be allowed to be moderators. I won't go into details out of respect for these people's privacy, as they were forced to be around inappropriate and NSFW convos as minors and I don't want them catching flack from Weirdcord moderation. I've heard multiple stories from friends who have been on the mod team at various points in the server's history and 18+ NSFW content and discussion is apparently commonplace. It's shocking that it took Gib, who also frequently posted said NSFW content/topics in modchat, would suddenly now step in to make this rule. Of course this has apparently been going on for a few years and when it started Gib would have been 18, they are now 20. All of the people I spoke with have agreed that moderators on Weirdcord have been as young as 14 years old so this is concerning. I'm disturbed that an adult would be discussing NSFW topics in a private channel with minors (modchat is only accessible to mods and the server owner(s) so nobody else can see it's contents). Gib has also been known to read explicit fanfiction in public Weirdcord voice chat on multiple occasions around minors, going so far as to make official server announcements alerting all to join vc to participate. I was also told of a time Gib (19 at the time) made a minor (who was 16-17 at the time) read one of these NSFW fanfictions in vc for an audience of server members. The fact that this announcement was even made makes it clear that something was in fact going on in modchat and it's no place for a minor to be, especially when the server is controlled by an adult who fully knows how inappropriate the things they talk about are. As someone who has been groomed as a minor in the past, I see Gib's behavior as incredibly worrying and unfortunately all too familiar. I'm not making this post to say "wow guys Gib is a groomer", I'm making it to spread awareness that Weirdcord may potentially be an unsafe environment for minors. I've received all of this information from trustworthy individuals and friends who have no motivation to lie and I am making my own conclusions based on the evidence provided and my own lived experiences.
Stay safe everyone, have a nice night!

Keith and his Fanny Packs and Boots to bed
disclaimer: first post, extremely new to tumblr. but of course my first post HAD to be voltron-related, and it's about keith and his fanny packs and boots. (A stupid, small analysis)
Tumblr media
in S1 E2, in the first minute we see Allura doing an unannounced drill (albeit dramatically) to evaluate the readiness, vigilance and speed of the newly recruited pilots. Other than Shiro, he seems to have the best mastery of these traits as he launches across the room to grab his jacket (Wow. His first instinct. Gotta dive into that sooner or later) then get out one second later.
Many people have pointed out the sheer absurdity and comedy of Keith wearing his fanny packs and boots to bed. How uncomfortable can that be? At conclusion, this scene was boiled down to just a trivial animation mistake and I also think that's all it is. But, out of fun, I want to look deeper into this "mistake" (Although many people have already probably concluded my upcoming analysis and I'm just late to the bandwagon.)
His fanny packs and boots are the solid testament to his life.
In later seasons, we find out that Keith has been practically raising himself throughout his childhood. He had an absent, dead (secretly alive) mother and also a completely dead father. In an optimistic sense, at least his father passed when Keith was 10 (?) years old, having a fragment of paternal love and care despite it being abruptly cut off. Oddly enough, orphanages aren't a thing in his time.
As if being stripped of parental love wasn't cruel enough, he also faced ostracization and bullying throughout his entire childhood without any adult to stand up for him whatsoever. Until around he was 16-17, Shiro saw his potential and eventually developed into his implied father figure. Then Shiro disappeared after a year, leaving him all alone once again.
Tumblr media
So, during the timeframes before and after he met Shiro, he was left all alone to fend for himself. He lives in an almost dilapidated, shabby shack in the middle of a desert, naturally leaving security unattended and nonexistent.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Of course, for a child/teenager, this predicament alone would transpire paranoia especially when you're in the middle of nowhere with the imminent anxiety of wild beasts/animals without any nearby protection.
Onto my main point now.
Keith is a teenager that was left to fend for himself all alone. Not only does he have no parents, but also he lives in the middle of nowhere and faces extreme ostracization and bullying. His school is an extremely emotionally and physically unsafe environment for him, and so is his shack. Consequently, he makes it a priority to always keep his guard up everywhere at any time. He isn't familiar with the notion of a "safe space". (Perhaps he only literally experiences that concept when he forms a deep connection with a bunch of other teenagers in outer space. Now that's a safe space. LOL)
His only resort and closest alternative to a "safe space"? His dagger, fanny pack, and boots.
Boots, to immediately escape the grasp of an intruder/emergency;
His fanny pack, presumably with all his survival essentials in it, in case of any emergency;
And his dagger, to defend himself.
All of which are stationed on him.
When you've spent the majority of your life alone with absolutely nobody to depend on, vigilance and paranoia creeps itself onto your daily routine. Most likely, Keith feels naked and vulnerable without them, because these three are his fundamental objects of safety.
So, he learnt readiness, vigilance, and speed not by training, but through cruelty. Of course, even with the reassurance of sleeping in a high-security advanced spaceship, old habits die hard. He'd rather sleep through discomfort rather than face danger.
Last Comments
this would be so good for a klance hurt/comfort fic. just lance slowly easing keith into introducing the possibility of safety and vulnerability coexisting together instead of having to choose between the two. i GOTTA write something like this soon
keith needs a hug bro

Matthew patel piss fic?
Fuck you matthew Patel anti-piss fic essay
First and foremost, it's important to recognize that fanfiction operates within the framework of existing intellectual properties. In this case, Matthew Patel is a character from the movie "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World," which was created by Bryan Lee O'Malley. As such, any fanfiction featuring Matthew Patel is derivative of O'Malley's work. While fanfiction allows for creative reinterpretations and expansions of existing narratives, it's essential to approach such endeavors with respect for the original creator's vision and intentions.
Additionally, engaging in explicit or fetishistic content involving characters without consent from the original creator can be seen as disrespectful and potentially damaging. It risks reducing complex and nuanced characters into mere objects for sexual gratification, disregarding their humanity and the context of their stories. This can not only undermine the integrity of the original work but also perpetuate harmful stereotypes and misconceptions.
Furthermore, considering the broader implications and potential audience of such content is crucial. Fanfiction communities often include minors and individuals who may be uncomfortable or disturbed by explicit material. Creating fanfiction that crosses into explicit or inappropriate territory without clear warnings and consent can contribute to an unwelcoming or unsafe environment for readers.
It's also important to consider the impact of fanfiction on the reputation of the original work and its creators. While fanfiction can be a form of flattery and engagement with a beloved franchise, certain types of content can reflect poorly on the source material and its creators. In the case of Matthew Patel, writing a fanfiction centered around him engaging in explicit behavior could overshadow the original themes and messages of "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World," potentially alienating fans and damaging the reputation of the franchise.
In conclusion, while fanfiction can be a creative and engaging way to interact with beloved characters and stories, it's essential to approach it with respect, consideration, and ethical awareness. Writing a fanfiction involving Matthew Patel engaging in explicit behavior such as urination crosses ethical boundaries and risks harm to both the original content and its audience. As such, it's important to exercise discretion and sensitivity when creating fanfiction and to prioritize respect for the original creators and their work.

one thing i have been thinking a lot about (very fleetingly yesterday while i was watching, but quite a lot today) is the way nick’s “coming out story” contrasts with (and partly) mirrors kit‘s own. i cannot even imagine what it must have been like for him to play that role, given everything he went through not so long ago. i think this season really reflects on kit’s experience within the fictional context of the story and its characters. i’m not even sure if they actively chose to do that or if it just unintentionally happened as a consequence of exploring the facets of modern queerness (and the source material—an example of life and art bleeding into each another). and it’s so weird because you’d hope that people would be better about respecting someone's right to share information in their own time (or, frankly, never). but like charlie’s dialogue in the last episode mentions, it is surprising how queerphobic people still are… especially the subtle queerphobia that goes on in plain sight and people’s latent queerphobic attitudes are definitely things they've played with as an occasional backdrop this season.
it’s probably most obvious when you look at how they used the background characters this season (e.g., truth/dare scene, prom preparation scene, online comments etc.). they are used to indirectly call-out a subset of viewers who have major issues with respecting people’s boundaries. while there is lots of queer happiness and joy, there are always those few moments where we see someone invading the privacy of a queer character that ground us in sober reality. because believe it or not there are still people out there who treat us as if we solely exist for their entertainment and consumption, as a piece of interesting decor in their heteronormative world. there is nothing inherently wrong with being curious about people or their experiences as queer individuals, but curiosity becomes a problem when it pushes against the outlines of someone’s humanity. when people ask invasive questions, when peers think they are entitled to every piece of information about your love life simply because you are queer, when people believe you owe it to them to tell them about your queerness because they equate not being out with dishonesty—that kind of behaviour disregards an individual’s right to privacy and agency. and that’s dehumanising. that’s the problem.
you’d think people would understand this basic thing about human decency, but they sometimes don’t. the questions & comments about your identity and the demands to explicitly state your queerness for the sake of straight people never stop—whether you are actually queer or just rumoured to be. being bullied into visibly displaying your queerness for everyone to see is a very messed up way of social control that only serves to make straight people comfortable. because that way they don’t have to fear queerness—it cannot surprise them. and if their perceived safety comes at the cost of queer people being uncomfortable or forcefully outed or made to feel unsafe that’s a price they are willing to pay. and some of this season's heartstopper background characters do create uncomfortable and potentially unsafe situations that leave the queer characters feel worse. they show that even people who might not even think of themselves as queerphobic contribute to hostile environments that dehumanises and ostracises queer people. and if you see your own behaviour reflected in any of them you need to take a closer look at how you treat the (queer) people around you.

Situational awareness is a critical survival skill that can mean the difference between life and death in a wide range of dangerous situations. Whether you're lost in the wilderness, caught in a natural disaster, or facing a life-threatening situation, having a heightened sense of awareness can help you identify potential threats and take swift action to protect yourself. But let's be real, it's also a great excuse to be a paranoid, conspiracy theory-believing nutcase and make everyone around you uncomfortable.
In simple terms, situational awareness is the ability to be fully present in your environment and to accurately assess the potential risks and opportunities that it presents. It involves actively scanning your surroundings, paying attention to details, and processing information quickly to make informed decisions. Or in layman's terms, it's basically just looking around and being a nosy asshole.
One of the key elements of situational awareness is paying attention to your surroundings. This means taking the time to observe and analyze your environment, rather than simply rushing through it without really taking it in. Look for anything out of the ordinary, and be prepared to adapt to changes in your environment as they occur. And if you're feeling extra paranoid, you can even start making up potential threats in your head just for fun. "Oh no, that guy over there looks sketchy. He's probably going to kidnap me and sell me into slavery."
Another important aspect of situational awareness is being attuned to your own body's signals. Pay attention to your gut instincts and listen to your body's warning signs. If you feel uneasy or unsafe in a particular situation, trust your instincts and take steps to protect yourself. Or you know, you could just run away screaming and never look back. That works too.
One way to cultivate your situational awareness skills is through mindfulness practices, such as meditation and yoga. These practices can help you develop a heightened sense of awareness and attention to detail, which can be invaluable in a survival situation. Or if that's not your thing, you could always just mainline caffeine and jump at every little noise.
There are also a number of specific strategies you can use to improve your situational awareness in a survival situation. One of these is the "360-degree scan," in which you take a moment to look around and assess your surroundings from all angles. This can help you identify potential threats and opportunities, as well as familiarize yourself with your environment. Just try not to look too creepy while you're doing it.
Another useful strategy is to create a "mental map" of your surroundings, which can help you orient yourself and navigate your environment more effectively. As you move through your environment, make note of key landmarks, escape routes, and other important details that can help you stay safe. Or if you're feeling extra adventurous, you can just wing it and see where the wind takes you. (Disclaimer: this is not recommended and will probably end in you getting lost and eaten by a bear).
In addition to these strategies, it's also important to stay calm and focused in a survival situation. Panic can cloud your judgment and lead to poor decision-making, so take deep breaths and try to stay level-headed. Or you know, you could just embrace the chaos and go full-on insane. It's all up to you, really.
Ultimately, situational awareness is all about being present in the moment and paying attention to your surroundings. With practice, you can develop this critical survival skill and increase your chances of staying safe in a wide range of dangerous situations. Just don't forget to have a little fun with it along the way.

un-burning lion primary (snake morality) + snake secondary
Hello, I could use some help figuring out my secondary. I'm a Snake primary, but I can't for the life of me figure out whether my true secondary is Snake or Lion. Sorry, this gets kind of trauma-dump-y. Please don't feel obligated to respond if it's too much.
For context, my father is a religious fanatic, the loudest and stubbornest Lion I've ever known, and the cause of most of my trauma. My mother is a Snake and self-appointed interpersonal damage control for my father.
Sounds like we've got the co-dependent/enabling thing going on. That's going to make you feel some sort of way about Lion AND Snake primaries.
Now because of the aforementioned trauma, I'm extremely conflict avoidant. I'm often too scared to even make reasonable requests, and arguing triggers my freeze and fawn response even when I'm just witnessing it and not directly involved.
Yep. That's a thing. And a recipe for Burning, in the terminology of this system.
On the surface, my secondary seems very Snake. In social situations, I read the people around me and adjust my performance accordingly without consciously thinking about it. When I feel backed into a corner, I just play along, lying as needed. As long as the other person or people involved aren't my People, the only guilt I feel about acting Snakish is just a distant-feeling residue from my religious upbringing. When those I'm interacting with are my People, I still don't feel too guilty about tailoring the way I act to them, so long as I'm not lying or being self-servingly manipulative.
So far this could just be a Snake secondary. I know that building Snake secondary models to survive unstable or unsafe situations is absolutely a thing, but you... seem to enjoy it?
When I catch myself lying to one of my People, it's either a defensive move relating to something I don't feel safe letting them know the whole truth of (e.g., letting my mother know the extent of my queerness or my rejection of the religion I was raised in) or a very minor lie that accidentally slipped out for no particular reason I can think of (usually saying I don't know/understand something that I actually do. This may be related to certain elements of my upbringing). In both cases, I feel guilty in a deeper, more personal way. However, the defensive lying seems like a difficult necessity, and the accidental lying seems harmless enough that I can get over it fairly easily.
Both of these examples I think are just... people things.
I'd say that not letting your mother (and then potentially your fanatical father) know that you're a queer atheist is just... smart? And lying to say "no please explain" "yes I've seen that show" just to... keep the conversation going, avoid conflict, build community. THAT'S a Human Thing, as well.
When I catch myself being manipulative toward my People though, I feel extremely guilty, sometimes to the point that it leads to a panic attack. However, I wasn't always nearly so careful to avoid manipulating my People. When I was a kid, I was an absolutely terrible friend. I was controlling and constantly fishing for compliments from my friends by self-deprecating, even though this clearly made them very uncomfortable. At the same time however, I was obsessed with fairness and terrified of being selfish, so I have no idea why I didn't realize sooner that acting this way toward my friends was unfair and selfish.
You were under-confident (and probably convinced/told that you could never be good enough - ie "terrified of being selfish") and had an unstable home base. So I'm not surprised at all that this translated into fishing for compliments from, and trying to control your friends. Give yourself a break. You were a kid. You're allowed to be kind of an asshole when you're a kid.
(I tend to think that it's your environment and not yourself to blame until you're at least 12 or so.)
Whatever the reason, I didn't make an effort to stop doing this until I was around twelve.
^^^ see above. Personally, I think you're free and clear.
To this day, the way I treated my childhood friends is one of my deepest regrets, and I worry that I might slip back into those old habits if I'm not careful.
I'm... not that worried. Although this focus on immutable personal identity is very much an Internal primary thing (Snake + Lion.)
Despite my fear of being manipulative, Snake secondary still seems like the best way to go about things. Bird and Badger seem to require too much effort that might not pay off for my taste, and Lion seems foolhardy.
Snake does seem to be in the lead here.
However. I'm secretly sort of obsessed with the idea of power. I constantly fantasize about being powerful enough to just plow through anything that stands in my way, and making people fear me enough that no one will ever try to hurt me or my People again. I feel vaguely guilty about these fantasies, especially because they involve not being bound to any sort of moral code and not needing to ever worry about the consequences of my actions. So even though I know that these fantasies are probably just a result of feeling completely powerless so often throughout my childhood, and that fantasies don't actually hurt anyone, I worry sometimes that they mean I'm a bad person.
They don't. You're fine. I'd even say that some healthy power fantasies at times when you're feeling powerless are *good* for you. And sure there's a Lion flavor here, but so many power fantasy characters are Lions that I don't think I can go and attribute a Lion secondary to you based on this. After all, there are lots of things that are fun to fantasize about that would be no fun at all if they actually happened.
Even outside of my fantasies, something about the Lion secondary way of doing things sounds satisfying in a way Snake secondary just isn't. At the same time though, putting all of myself out there for everyone to see sounds terrifying.
I'm not sure if I'm able to say if you just *like* the idea of a Lion secondary because it sounds powerful and strong. Or if you *are* a Lion secondary, and have a Snake secondary model that is very robust and you like quite a lot. Either way, I would definitely experiment with spending some time in... neutral. Not preforming for anyone, just existing.
Sometimes I feel like a coward for being too afraid to stand up for what I believe in like Lions do, but I'm also afraid of being like my father, the aforementioned extreme Lion.
This is primary stuff. And yeah, I *bet* you have some issues with putting your foot down and saying 'this feels right and this feels wrong.' But for what it's worth, I don't see any evidence of you being your father. If anything, the danger seems to be you over-correcting in the opposite direction.
Anyway, I think that's about it. It seems to come down to whether I'm a burned Lion with a Snake model, or just a traumatized Snake with religious guilt. Thanks for your time, and for any insight if you choose to answer this.
The good news is that you seem to like your Snake just fine. I really don't see any burning there, apart from some very mild, garden variety "Snake is the bad guy one."
Your primary though... if anything has taken burning it's that. There's a through line to this post where you're scared of wanting things - "too scared to even make reasonable requests" "too afraid to stand up for what I believe in"- or scared of wanting the *wrong* things - "I worry that I might slip back into those old habits," "I worry sometimes that they mean I'm a bad person."
Outside of any other context, these fears and these sentiments feel like Burnt Lion primary to me. I get that option feels unsafe because of your father, but it's something to at least think about. You might be a Snake who models Lion when their people are safe. You might be a Lion with a very Snake-looking morality. Either way, I think it's very likely that there's a Lion influence mixed in there, which you should look at when you're ready.
PS - I can't seem to hide my emotions. It might just be an autism thing, but for whatever reason, unless I'm consciously thinking about it super hard, I'm always nonverbally broadcasting how I'm really feeling, to the point that it can be a problem sometimes. And trying to hide it feels Wrong somehow, like I can't properly feel my emotions if I'm not physically expressing them.
If this isn't just an autism thing or some kind of coping mechanism, it sounds like a Lion secondary thing, right?
that is... much more of a Lion primary thing. Because the problem isn't that you're got an expressive face, it's that you sometimes have trouble feeling/identifying your emotions in your body, and that feels Wrong. And *that's* the basis of being a Lion primary.

Welcome to my Hideout !
DUCKY ★ THEY/HE ★ AGENDER
Hello there! This is my cozy space to indulge in my "childish" interests. All the posts here will be SFW and "child safe”! That being said, i want to be very upfront about these facts: I AM AN ADULT (EARLY TWENTIES), and I AM SUPPORTIVE OF KINK COMMUNITIES!
Potentially helpful information is under the kitty paws (Optional reading)
Tumblr media
About Me !
★ I have a tricky time with labels, and often wonder if i “count” as something (like a regressor, dreamer, a little, or simply someone with “immature” interests). This has led to me feeling like i don’t quite fit in any one community, and i’ve come to find comfort in the SFW baby/kidfur community because it tends to be more focused on artwork than on these technicalities.
★ I enjoy cartoons, stuffed animals and other toys, crayons, coloring books, stickers, and rubber duckies!! ★ I love to learn about animals and some of my favorites are platypuses, ducks, bats, cheetahs, anteaters and aardvarks!!
★ I like the kids' shows Phineas and Ferb, Kiff, 101 Dalmatian Street, My Little Pony (FIM), and Zoboomafoo, and my favorite childhood movies are All Dogs go to Heaven, Fern Gully, Patch's London Adventure, and Bolt!!
Tumblr media
Boundaries / BYF !
★ I don't follow from here, I follow from my main blog. I don't want to @ it because i'm shy, but, you'll recognize me from my bio and my icon being an orange platypus! My main is my free-for-all for reblogs, so it CAN occasionally contain serious, dark, or sexual topics!! ★ If me interacting/reblogging your posts makes you uncomfortable, you can message me to let me know, and i will respect your wishes, no questions asked! Of course, you may simply block me, if you prefer (this will block All of my blogs!)
★ The blog you follow from does not need to be 100% SFW or free of adult topics, simply do not sexualize my posts, and preferably do not interact from a designated NSFW/kink blog (Or avoid reblogging my posts to that blog)
Tumblr media
Do Not Interact !
If the following applies to you / your blog you will simply be blocked:
★ MINORS WHO PARTICIPATE IN KINK online / publicly
★ YOUNGER THAN 16
★ IRL GORE or PORN blogs
★ ARE JUDGEMENTAL / ABLEIST to incontinent people who need/use diapers
Tumblr media
Minor Safety !
I am sharing this information because, as an adult online who shares content largely appealing to children, i never want to foster an unsafe environment for minors (or anyone).
Minors: i urge you to not to share sensitive / private information online, even on a "private" account. Once it is sent or posted, it may be downloaded onto somebody else's device and you lose the power to truly erase it.
Underage age regressors/littles: please do not share selfies of yourself in diapers. While they're no more inherently sexual than any underwear, they are still that - underwear!!
Resources for identifying and reporting endangerment/grooming/abuse can be found at childhelphotline.org, and if you are a minor who has experienced online sexual harassment from an adult, you can report this at report.cybertip.org!!

Have a GOOD DAY ~★ :3

Real-Life Strategies for Safety Tools
As one dives into the intricate world of BDSM, the importance of safety tools cannot be overstated. While discussions around limits, boundaries, the FRIES method of consent, and safe words are common in the BDSM community, mastering the practical application of these tools in real-life scenarios is crucial. Because of this, let’s explore tangible strategies to effectively utilize these safety tools, ensuring a consensual and secure experience for all parties involved.
Open Communication: Establishing Limits and Boundaries
Before engaging in any BDSM activities, open communication is paramount. Take the time to discuss personal limits and boundaries with your partner(s). Clearly articulate what activities are off-limits, uncomfortable, or triggering. This dialogue should be ongoing, allowing for adjustments and updates as comfort levels evolve. Establishing a foundation of trust through communication is the first step toward a safe and consensual BDSM experience.
FRIES Method of Consent: The Five Key Components
The FRIES method (Freely Given, Reversible, Informed, Enthusiastic, Specific) serves as a comprehensive guide to obtaining consent within the BDSM context.
Freely Given: Ensure that consent is voluntary and not coerced.
Reversible: Consent can be withdrawn at any point without fear of repercussions.
Informed: All parties involved are aware of the nature of the activities and potential risks.
Enthusiastic: Seek enthusiastic agreement rather than passive compliance.
Specific: Clearly define the boundaries and activities covered by the consent.
Regularly revisit the FRIES components during communication to reaffirm mutual understanding and consent.
Safe Words: A Vital Communication Tool
Safe words act as a direct line of communication between partners during BDSM activities. Choose a safe word that is easy to remember and unlikely to be confused with typical language. When the submissive partner uses the stop safe word, all activities must cease immediately. Likewise, the dominant partner should regularly check in and encourage the use of the safe word if there are any concerns. This ensures a swift response to changing dynamics and reinforces the importance of ongoing consent.
Establishing Emergency Protocols
Beyond limits, boundaries, and safe words, have a plan in place for emergencies. Discuss what steps should be taken if someone is injured or feels genuinely unsafe. Establish clear communication channels, emergency contacts, and, if necessary, a pre-determined signal for help. This proactive approach enhances the overall safety net within BDSM dynamics.
Continuous Education and Reflection
Keep abreast of the latest information, resources, and best practices within the BDSM community. Attend workshops, read literature, and engage in open dialogue with experienced practitioners. Additionally, reflect on your experiences regularly, assessing what worked well and where improvements can be made. Continuous education and self-reflection contribute to the ongoing refinement of safety practices.
While the BDSM community emphasizes the importance of safety tools, their effectiveness lies in the ability to apply them in real-life scenarios. By fostering open communication, employing the FRIES method of consent, utilizing safe words, establishing emergency protocols, and committing to continuous education, practitioners can create an environment where consensual, safe, and enjoyable BDSM experiences are the norm.
If you enjoyed this, I invite you to give my podcast a listen 'Chatting With The Lightkeeper,' a top 25% most-followed podcasts on Spotify but available on all the major podcasting apps and follow my socials for more exclusive content: Instagram, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter) for a deeper dive into the wonderful world of D/S.
As with all of my thoughts, please see this disclaimer.

Weirdcore continued...
This is a follow up to my previous post.
As I stated, I do not condone any actions made by the owner of Weirdcord. However, I also do not condone any of the actions made by the admin and moderator team. As admins and moderators they also had a responsibility to address these issues.
I haven't been active on the Weirdcord server lately at all but I just feel really shitty knowing this has happened.
I'm going to put the original post below in case the OP gets deleted. I am aware of the fact that this is purely text without any screenshot proof so take this as you wish. I've made my decision to not be involved with the server much from now.
I hope everyone can move on and learn from this. Please be aware of minors. Saying the things that were said, regardless if it is behind a screen or to their face, this is still not right.
Take care everybody <3

Weirdcord modchat and the exposure of minors to inappropriate material TW// mention(s) of grooming, minors being exposed to NSFW content, uncomfortable situations, mention of sexually explicit conversation
I’ve been kind of inactive on discord recently and somebody brought it to my attention that Gib (godenteredmybody and owner of Weirdcord) had to make an announcement on Weirdcord that minors will no longer be allowed to be moderators. I won’t go into details out of respect for these people’s privacy, as they were forced to be around inappropriate and NSFW convos as minors and I don’t want them catching flack from Weirdcord moderation.
I’ve heard multiple stories from friends who have been on the mod team at various points in the server’s history and 18+ NSFW content and discussion is apparently commonplace. It’s shocking that it took Gib, who also frequently posted said NSFW content/topics in modchat, would suddenly now step in to make this rule.
Of course this has apparently been going on for a few years and when it started Gib would have been 18, they are now 20. All of the people I spoke with have agreed that moderators on Weirdcord have been as young as 14 years old so this is concerning.
I’m disturbed that an adult would be discussing NSFW topics in a private channel with minors (modchat is only accessible to mods and the server owner(s) so nobody else can see it’s contents). Gib has also been known to read explicit fanfiction in public Weirdcord voice chat on multiple occasions around minors, going so far as to make official server announcements alerting all to join vc to participate. I was also told of a time Gib (19 at the time) made a minor (who was 16-17 at the time) read one of these NSFW fanfictions in vc for an audience of server members.
The fact that this announcement was even made makes it clear that something was in fact going on in modchat and it’s no place for a minor to be, especially when the server is controlled by an adult who fully knows how inappropriate the things they talk about are.
As someone who has been groomed as a minor in the past, I see Gib’s behavior as incredibly worrying and unfortunately all too familiar. I’m not making this post to say “wow guys Gib is a groomer”, I’m making it to spread awareness that Weirdcord may potentially be an unsafe environment for minors. I’ve received all of this information from trustworthy individuals and friends who have no motivation to lie and I am making my own conclusions based on the evidence provided and my own lived experiences.
Stay safe everyone, have a nice night!

PureDragonn:
I am very sad to say that this is indeed true.
TW// Mentions of adults grooming minors, minors being exposed to NSFW content, mentions of sexually explicit conversation, and general discussion of very uncomfortable situations I was best friends with gib (godenteredmybody​) for a long time and was a mod/admin in weirdcord from April 2021 through June 2022. I have a lot to say about this. I should also mention that I do have screenshots of a decent amount of these conversations.
Starting off, there were in fact numerous instances where there were deeply NSFW conversations within mod chat involving minors. There was one instance I remember (around June 2021) where there was an in depth conversation about fetishes for around an hour or two, which included minors aged 14-17, and gib was 18. Everyone was encouraged to share their fetishes, although I’m not sure if it was gib who initiated this, but at the very least he did nothing to stop it and partook in it himself. I myself was only 15 at the time, and two friends of mine who were also there were 16. Frequently there would be graphic sexual jokes made within mod chat. It was said multiple times that it was okay to talk about such things in mod chat since it was a private channel that only we could see, and as far as I remember, gib said that we could talk there to not weird out regular server members. I think it’s important to note that these jokes were made so frequently that it made people uncomfortable, but nobody said anything because gib was older and everyone looked up to him. Many times in vc (both public and private) gib would frequently make highly explicit jokes with minors there. After knowing someone for as long as I’ve known gib, I understand when they’re joking and when there’s something more to what they’re saying.
Also in june 2021, I invited gib and another user (who I will not be mentioning by name, instead I’ll call them H) to a private server to post “something secret”, what it was, I wasn’t sure until it was posted. H then posted a porn drawing of their (gib and their) OCs. Gib then said “Now delete it before Dragonn sees :troll:”, although it was not deleted. H was only 16 at the time, and I think it’s worth noting that their OC was their sona and would also be 16. The fact that gib was telling a minor to draw porn of his OC and the minor’s OC and to show it to another minor is extremely concerning and quite frankly, disgusting. It’s clear that this was not a “joke”, you do not joke about stuff like that, and I don’t see how this could have been a “joke.” The fact that gib mentioned me by name shows that he was fully aware of what he was doing, and the fact he said to delete it shows that he was aware of how bad this behavior was. The fact that he said my name specifically shows that he was fully aware of who it was directed at. Gib was fully aware that we were both minors. There is nothing that can be said that can excuse this behavior, especially the fact that this had an adult making a minor draw and send explicit material to another minor.
Right after this, H asked if I wanted them to draw porn of my OC and gib’s, and I said yes because at the time I thought it would be funny. Looking back I know I only considered this funny because I was socially conditioned by gib to think that this “humor” was appropriate and funny. H later sent the drawing in the same channel, to which gib then pinged another person and started making fun of me. Over the next few months we would talk in this GC, and of course the NSFW topic discussions would continue. H would also send more porn drawings and so did gib once, but he deleted it right after, although it was in the middle of everyone talking so we all saw it. He stated that it was sent intentionally. Throughout this period, me and another person who was also in the GC (who I will not be mentioning by name either, and will call F) were encouraged by gib to date. F was 17 turning 18 in 3 months, and I of course was 15. The age difference was mentioned by all of us several times, but we still ended up dating for around a month, and gib would make slight comments about us. Although these weren’t sexual. Mostly teasing I guess. Throughout this period, gib would casually mention his fetishes. There were a few times F would make a single extremely sexual joke towards me in front of everyone else and make me extremely uncomfortable. I once made a very sexual joke (not directed towards anyone though) about the OC that gib and the 16 year old would draw porn of that F screenshotted it and would say in public chats on weirdcord that they would “send the screenshot”, which would also make me extremely uncomfortable and anxious. Eventually, someone pinged @everyone, to which gib started freaking out. For context, there were around 15 or so users who were completely inactive and never checked the server, all of which were members from weirdcord. Gib then started deleting all the channels because it had “his personal information in it” and then had H make a new server for us to talk in. The person who pinged @ everyone started apologizing profusely to me and gib and asked if they could join the new GC, but gib told me in DMs that he no longer trusted them. This person was 14 or 15 at the time.
Me and F broke up in late July due to the fact that they were close to turning 18. I was still only 15 at the time. Starting around August, me and H started dating and they would frequently make unprompted graphic sexual jokes towards me in the GC in front of everyone else. I could go on and on about what they would say to me in DMs, but it isn’t really relevant here. I will say that this relationship was very one-sided, as I felt pressured into it after they said they had a crush on me (which they told gib about first and informed me of that.) A lot of this would go on over the next few months until the GC slowly died over the course of 2 weeks or so, but the sexual jokes in mod chat continued happening.
It’s important to mention that everyone mentioned here was a mod on weirdcord, and everything here happened in private servers or as with the things mentioned at the very beginning such as the fetish sharing incident, in mod chat.
Around a month later I mentioned to gib that H had me in a toxic relationship and gib said “yeah, I could tell you were uncomfortable.” This goes to show that he knew what was going on was very wrong, but chose not to do anything about it. He purposefully chose not to step in to help me even though he was fully aware of what was happening.
Now as for the NSFW fanfiction readings, this happened starting when I joined weirdcord in early March of 2021, and I was also told by gib that this was a sort of “tradition” on weirdcord, so it was happening before I even joined the server too. One of the very first calls I was in on weirdcord was one of these fanfic readings. They would typically last a few hours with gib usually reading them, but every now and then he would ask me to read one, but I refused since I did not want my parents to hear me reading out loud very graphic imagery for over half an hour. As everyone knows, these eventually would become official server events with @ announcements for them. I raised concern about this in mod chat for obvious reasons, considering many many minors were in the server, with a lot being very young, like 13-15. I was instantly shut down and told that “gib knows what he’s doing.” These readings were in fact still very graphic. Gib had made a thread where people could send fanfictions for him to read, and of course many of the people sending them were minors. There was no 18+ restriction for any of these events or the thread whatsoever. Earlier on in 2021, around April-June, gib would host drawpiles where gib would start drawing porn, yet again “as a joke.” One time I remember he did it with someone’s OC, who was 15-16 at the time. Many other minors, like with the fanfic readings, would also be watching or partaking.
In my opinion, all of these instances culminated make it hard to deny that gib in fact had some level of malicious intent with all of this. It makes me really sad to say all of this, but it’s the truth and I want to make everyone aware of this so nobody else will be made a victim.
Lastly, I want to thank OP for making this post. It has encouraged me to come forward with this information. I want to encourage anyone else who has been made a victim or otherwise been made uncomfortable by this to also come forward.

There are a lot of people, especially women, and even more especially women of faith, who are pro-choice but personally anti-abortion for various reasons. Messaging about making abortion “safe, legal, and rare” has always been key to keeping this block of voters on the side of abortion rights and many are uncomfortable with the shift to messaging about abortion being super duper rad. This group also does tend to support some level of restrictions (as borne out by data showing while 67% of people didn’t believe in overturning Roe, that number drops when presented with proposals of particular week cutoffs or other restrictions).
As an illustration of the point: in 2008 when Prop 8 was on the ballot in California, there was also another ballot measure, Prop 4, that would have established a 48-hour waiting period with parental notification requirement (or notification of another adult in cases where parental abuse was reported) for minors seeking abortions. It had exceptions built in for medical emergencies, parental waiver, and a judicial bypass procedure that could allow courts to waive notice requirements in particular cases. The main argument made by supporters boiled down to “these are perfectly reasonable restrictions and if you oppose them you want teenagers to die from secret abortion complications and no adult in their life will know what’s going on to help them.” The main arguments made by opponents boiled down to “parental notification laws don’t work and enacting one will force teenagers in unsafe home environments to have unsafe abortions or try to self-induce or even commit suicide if unable to access safe, legal abortion.”
My mother has voted for democrats all her life. She is also Catholic, born/raised/practicing. She grew up in an era where she watched women’s rights and especially reproductive rights grow. She lived in both the pre-Roe and post-Roe eras. And although she is pro-choice in that she doesn’t believe in forcing her beliefs on anyone else, she is also personally anti-abortion and has always been uncomfortable with abortion. She struggled with how to vote on Prop 4 because the restrictions and arguments seemed so “reasonable”. Ultimately, she voted against Prop 4 because she was swayed by the hard data from other states showing that notification laws don’t work and also because the idea of young girls harming themselves out of desperation was more abhorrent than the potential risk to someone from a procedure that is extremely safe. There were other women in my family, other women in my church, who voted the opposite even as they also considered themselves in the same category of technically pro-choice but anti-abortion because they thought the exceptions written in would mitigate any real risk of harm.
Prop 4 was defeated by a margin of ~52%-48%. That was the same election in which Prop 8, which banned same-sex marriage (and the campaign for which was also largely based on fearmongering over “think of the children”), successfully passed by just slightly over the same margin (52-48). Just by the numbers, there are somewhere around 500k voters who voted no on Prop 4 but yes on Prop 8. Somewhere around 500k voters who voted in favor of reproductive choice but against marriage equality, and a lot of it came down to messaging and demographics. And even though Prop 4 failed, that (slightly less than when you look at the actual percentages) 4% margin is hardly a resounding victory, especially when you consider the fact that we’re talking about California.
That 67% of people who support freedom of choice in the abstract is a nuanced and tenuous majority. And if we want to hold onto it, we need to take a page from the book of our foremothers and return immediately to the messaging that works.

Tumblr media
Munnar is the ideal vacation spot for families wishing to relax and get back in touch with nature because of its verdant surroundings, misty mountains, and peaceful environment. This charming hill region is tucked away in the Western Ghats of Kerala and has a wide range of resorts to suit every taste and budget. However, the most important consideration when organising a family holiday should always be safety. Let's explore some crucial advice for guaranteeing your family a safe and secure stay at Munnar's top resort.
Research and Choose Wisely
Selecting the best resort in Munnar that puts safety first is the first step to making sure your trip is both safe and enjoyable. Seek out accommodations with favourable evaluations that particularly highlight their standards and procedures for safety.
Check for Safety Features
Find out what amenities and safety features the resort offers before making a reservation. Make sure the resort has first-aid kits, smoke detectors, emergency exits, and fire extinguishers. If the resort offers a swimming pool, be sure lifeguards are on duty there as well.
Secure Accommodations
Choose rooms on the lower floors when making your hotel reservations, particularly if you are travelling with little children or elderly relatives. It is simpler to access lower floors in the event of an emergency, such as a fire or evacuation.
Supervise Children
Even though resorts frequently offer a secure setting for youngsters to play and explore, parents must always keep an eye on their children. To make sure your kids are safe when visiting, teach them about potential risks and establish ground rules.
Stay Informed
When you arrive, familiarise yourself with the safety regulations and procedures of the resort. Make a note of assembly locations, evacuation routes, and emergency contact information. To guarantee a quick reaction in the event of an emergency, encourage your family members to commit these details to memory.
Stay Connected
During your visit, make sure you have access to cell phones and walkie-talkies, among other communication equipment. Keep in contact with your family, particularly if you intend to independently explore the resort's grounds.
Be Prepared for Emergencies
Stow away basic supplies like bandages, prescriptions, antiseptics, and emergency contact information in a tiny emergency kit. It might be very helpful to have these materials on hand for little crises.
Utilise Safe Facilities
Benefit from the secure amenities and services offered by the resort, including supervised children's clubs, assigned play areas, and planned leisure activities. These areas are made to offer a safe haven for families to enjoy their vacation.
Trust Your Instincts
Lastly, have faith in your intuition and instincts. Do not be afraid to bring up any issues you may have with the management or personnel of the resort if something seems unsafe or uncomfortable. Your family's health and well-being should always come first.
To sum up, you can make sure your family has a safe and pleasurable stay at the greatest resort in Munnar by following these recommendations. To make the most of your vacation experience in the beautiful grandeur of Munnar, put safety first, keep informed, and be ready for any unanticipated circumstances.

Nurturing Trust: Balancing Privacy and Child Safety in Preschool Settings
In preschool environments, fostering a balance between privacy and child safety is paramount. It's a delicate dance that educators, administrators, and parents must perform, ensuring that children feel secure while respecting their privacy and dignity. In today's digital age, where concerns about online safety and data privacy loom large, this balance becomes even more crucial. Let's explore how preschools can navigate this intricate terrain, prioritizing both the safety of children and their rights to privacy.
Creating Safe Spaces
First and foremost, preschools must establish physical and emotional safety for all children. This involves implementing robust safety protocols, such as secure entry systems, childproofing measures, and emergency procedures. Additionally, creating a nurturing and inclusive atmosphere where children feel valued and respected is essential. Teachers should cultivate a culture of trust, encouraging open communication and empathy among students.
Privacy in the Digital Age
In today's interconnected world, digital privacy is a growing concern, even in preschool settings. Schools must be vigilant in safeguarding children's data and online activities. This includes ensuring that any digital platforms used for educational purposes comply with stringent privacy regulations and that children's personal information is kept confidential. Moreover, educators should teach young learners about internet safety and the importance of protecting their privacy online.
Building Trusting Relationships
Central to maintaining a balance between privacy and child safety is building trusting relationships between educators, children, and parents. When children feel secure and supported, they are more likely to communicate openly about any concerns they may have. Likewise, parents should feel confident that their child's well-being is a top priority for the school. Transparent communication and regular updates about safety measures can help cultivate trust among all stakeholders.
Empowering Children
Empowering children to advocate for their own safety and privacy is crucial. Preschools can teach age-appropriate lessons on personal boundaries, consent, and assertiveness. By equipping children with the knowledge and skills to assert their rights, educators can help them navigate social situations confidently. Moreover, encouraging children to speak up if they feel uncomfortable or unsafe empowers them to take an active role in protecting their privacy and well-being.
Collaborating with Parents
Parents play a vital role in ensuring their child's safety and privacy both at home and at school. Preschools should foster open lines of communication with parents, providing resources and guidance on topics such as online safety, privacy settings, and recognizing signs of potential risks. By working together as partners in their child's education, parents and educators can create a supportive network that prioritizes the safety and well-being of every child.
Continuous Evaluation and Improvement
Finally, maintaining a balance between privacy and child safety is an ongoing process that requires constant evaluation and adaptation. Preschools should regularly review their safety policies and procedures, seeking feedback from staff, parents, and even the children themselves. By staying proactive and responsive to evolving challenges, schools can create environments where children can thrive, safe in the knowledge that their privacy and well-being are valued and protected.
In conclusion, balancing privacy and child safety in preschool settings requires a multifaceted approach that prioritizes trust, communication, and empowerment. By creating safe spaces, respecting children's privacy rights, building trusting relationships, empowering children, collaborating with parents, and continuously evaluating and improving safety measures, preschools can foster environments where every child can learn and grow with confidence and dignity.

The Importance of Consent in Escort Services
Tumblr media
When engaging in escort services, it is crucial to prioritize consent. Consent is the cornerstone of any healthy and respectful interaction, whether they involve sexual activities or not. Escort services play a critical role in ensuring that both clients and escorts have a clear understanding and agreement about their boundaries and desires.
One of the ways that escort services prioritize consent is through comprehensive communication. Reputable agencies encourage open and honest conversations between clients and escorts, ensuring that both parties are on the same page regarding their expectations and boundaries. This allows for informed consent, where all parties have a clear understanding of what they are consenting to.
Furthermore, escort services provide a platform for negotiation and boundary setting. Escorts are trained to establish their own boundaries and communicate them effectively to clients. This ensures that they are comfortable and consenting to the activities being requested. Clients, on the other hand, have the responsibility to respect and honor these boundaries and not push for activities that have been expressly declined.
Consent also extends to the realm of physical touch and personal space. Escorts have the right to withdraw consent if they feel uncomfortable or unsafe during an encounter. Similarly, clients must respect and honor the boundaries set by escorts regarding physical touch and intimacy .
Moreover, consent in escort services is an ongoing process. It is essential that both parties have the ability to revoke consent at any time during an encounter Sex Anonse. This means that if either the client or the escort no longer wants to engage in a particular activity, they have the right to communicate their withdrawal of consent and request an alternative activity or end the encounter altogether.
Consent in escort services goes beyond the legal and ethical aspects. Practicing enthusiastic consent, where all parties actively and enthusiastically agree to the activities, fosters a positive and respectful environment. It enhances the overall experience and ensures that the encounter is enjoyable and consensual for all involved.
Consent is an ongoing conversation and should be reaffirmed throughout the encounter. Escorts are trained to regularly check in with their clients to ensure that they are still comfortable and consenting to the activities. This open line of communication ensures that any potential issues or concerns can be addressed promptly.
In conclusion, the importance of consent cannot be emphasized enough in escort services. It is essential for all parties involved in an encounter to communicate openly, set clear boundaries, and actively engage in enthusiastic consent. Escort services play a crucial role in promoting consent by providing a platform for negotiation, boundary setting, and ongoing communication between clients and escorts.

Humidity, or the level of moisture in the air, can have a significant impact on daily life and various activities. In many cases, it can even lead to lessons in exile or being forced to adapt to challenging conditions.
One of the main reasons why lessons may become exilic due to humidity is the effect it can have on electronics. High levels of moisture can cause electronic devices to malfunction or stop working altogether. This can be especially problematic in academic settings where students may rely on laptops or tablets to take notes, access online materials, or complete assignments.
In addition to electronic devices, humidity can also cause damage to books and other paper materials. High levels of moisture in the air can cause books to warp or pages to stick together, making them unreadable. This can be a major inconvenience for both students and teachers who rely on textbooks and other printed materials for lessons.
Humidity can also have an impact on the classroom environment itself. Excess moisture in the air can lead to mold and mildew growth, causing a musty smell and potential health hazards. Mold and mildew can trigger allergies and respiratory issues, making it difficult for students to focus and learn.
Moreover, high humidity can make it uncomfortable and difficult to concentrate in a classroom. The feeling of stickiness and clammy skin can be distracting and affect students' ability to pay attention and participate in lessons.
Beyond the classroom, humidity can also have an economic impact on schools and families. High humidity levels can lead to increased energy bills as air conditioning systems have to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature. This can be particularly burdensome for lower-income families who may struggle to afford these higher expenses.
In some cases, humidity can even lead to the cancellation of lessons or school closures. Extreme levels of humidity, such as during a tropical storm or hurricane, can make it unsafe for students and teachers to travel to school or be inside a classroom.
In conclusion, the level of humidity in the air can have wide-ranging effects on lessons. From damaging electronic devices and books to creating an uncomfortable and distracting learning environment, humidity can disrupt the normal flow of lessons and force individuals to adapt to exile-like conditions. It is important for schools and individuals to take measures to control indoor humidity levels and minimize its impact on education.
