li’l introductory thread since a bunch of you folks just followed me (hi!):

I’m Kate Sloan, a writer/podcaster specializing in sex, kink, dating & relationships.

I’m a bi/queer cis femme woman from Toronto, and my pronouns are she/her. 👋🏻

Kate, a queer femme white cis woman with short brown hair, smiles at the camera while wearing red lipstick, a blue floral-print one-shoulder dress and sparkly silver earrings; her arm tattoo of flowers with the text “do no harm but take no shit” is visible

there have always been people who like to write, and people who like to say they have written, and the latter really love the idea of AI and the former can not understand why you'd let a computer do the fun part.

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

I use journoportfolio.com, and I've also liked the Fireshot browser extension, which makes quick PDF snapshots of websites.

I love Nick Jonas's song "Levels" because, as with many of Nick's songs, it SOUNDS like a slick fuckboy bop, but its lyrical content is about, like, the importance of intimacy & vulnerability www.youtube.com/watch?v=taVi...

referenced this post in a Dildorks episode recently, so I went back to reread it, & uhhh... quite funny how many of these techniques are still my bread-&-butter, 8+ years later girlyjuice.net/5-ways-flirt...

also LOTS of vignettes about the hot dommy sex shop coworker I obviously had a crush on!!!

5 Ways I Flirt As a Submissive

1. Unprompted service. Three weeks ago, we went out to lunch and you ordered a Mill Street lager. Tonight, I show up for our scheduled fuckdate at your house, carrying a six-pack of Mill Street lag…

"The Logoff generally steers away from covering Trump pronouncements until they translate into real-world impacts, because they often amount to false alarms. Trump is easily suggestible, so ... he’s more likely to say something than he is to follow through with it." www.vox.com/pages/logoff...

so many lube companies pitching me coconut-based formulas in their press releases lately, but not one of them answers the most vital question: how do my partner + crushes feel about the taste of coconut 🤔

things that will get you muted by me:
-unnecessary devil's advocate/NotAllMen-ing/etc.
-weird comments on my body/weight
-pitting women against each other for no reason
-unsolicited health advice
-unsolicited info about your genitals (I promise, if I cared about your genitals, you would know that)

Kate Sloan (she/her) @katesloan.com · 18h

But happy for you that no cancer cells were found. Congrats!

Kate Sloan (she/her) @katesloan.com · 18h

I’m not the person to ask about that, as we’re not sexual partners and I prefer not to receive unsolicited info about strangers’ genitals!
