The way this work and this community has changed my relationship with my body and my approach to sex and intimacy has been revolutionary.

I've been able to fully integrate all aspects of my being. It's been comforting and life-affirming. It's like a hope that cant be quelled. It is the way forward.

I'm going to Bator Bro tomorrow and we're releasing the final zine.

It's crazy how much things have changed in the last year and a half.

I'm in the worst physical shape I've been in the last like 10 years and I'm gonna walk in completely secure, with a big smile, knowing Ill have an amazing time.

Literally cried writing the editorial. I can't believe we pulled this project off. A whole cultural framing of bator culture in 5 acts.

Overwiew. Water/Community. Earth/Edging basics. Fire/Kink. Wind/Ecstasy, Queer Masculinity and Brotherhood.

Thank you for everybody who made this possible.

I've been writing the fifth zine for 12 weeks. I'm so tired, but we're almost there. One more week and it goes to print.

It's coming out so incredibly well. Can't wait to show it to everyone.

Yeh totally. Like Jungle Juice is isopropyl but Jungle Juice Platinum is pentyl.

I tried to explain how to look for the cas number and such and deter people from focusing on brands but i did have to name some too to anchor the piece

I'm working on the very last article of Zine 5, the very first one on the zine: the Trance piece.

The one that talks about what trance is and defines gooning. I think I've reached a very solid framework for it after these two years of writing about it.

But I need to bate now, my mind is melting.

@beastlyb8r.bsky.social hey man, just heard your episode with Alex. It was really wonderful, you guys really touched on all the key elements that make bating and the bating community special.

Loved the way you guys talked about gooning and trance too.

We're def gonna reference it in the zine.

Last two weeks before sending the last zine to print. Lots of work to do still but the pieces are coming together beautifully.

A bit overwhelmed but very excited about it. Can't wait to share some things with everyone soon.
