I don't think he psychologically sees desire to come as a significant appetite, rather he sees desire to submit as the primary motivation and orgasm is a nice side effect.

It is #Locktober, but to be perfectly honest our dynamic doesn't really do orgasm *denial* as much as orgasm "enthusiastic permission" or orgasm "enthusiastic forced CNC". Silver doesn't do the begging and pleading thing, at best only begging to edge.

Anyone more technically astute able (and generous enough) to tell me how much spying a Kindle phone app and Kindle device try to do?

Happy Amazon Prime Day! Amazon collects mountains of data about how you use the service, but there is a setting you can change to make it harder for the company to use that data to sell you more things. #OptOutOctober www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

It's censoring in an entirely different way than other parts of the world. I would actually be very curious what that logic is as far as comparable cultural legacy. 🤔

I don't really ever get ASMR videos recommended and I *do* like them. 😅

I think the rule of thumb is to make sure any photos either make it impossible to identify people or have the consent of everyone involved. I remember back in the Vietnam war days, my grandfather being very anxious for his job because a newspaper got a photo of him and my (then child) mother.

Yes, this is resuming it because eloping interrupted my prior treatments. I was hoping the reduction was going to stay that way, but my frequency has started to creep up again.

Resuming migraine Botox this morning. I am excited because previously the treatment was very effective.

Chilly weather is delightful. I get to wear all my nice sweaters and leg warmers and whatnot.

Listening to Wolf Hall on audio book, and enjoying the way it narrates dialogue in context of getting across the character of the speakers.

I like it! Silver gets called Property with a capital P to emphasize it's "Property (complimentary)" not "property (derogatory)"

I get it, people have rape fantasies and like dark romance, but the last century manages to be more repressed and weird about sexuality and gender than a guy who predated women's suffrage.

(Note: Stoker was pro suffrage)

Dracula, 11ty billion adaptions:

- we kept the bit about suspecting your friend is being abused but now it's a male hero so she's a fridge resident virgin
- forbidden desires VS Victorian chastity, sex is a demon you want
- isn't Dracula hot???
- eternal reincarnation lurve

Dracula, the book:

- creepy predators are awful, this is a crime of power
- tell women shit and include them
- respect female choice
- gracious Mina, you are carrying this party
- it's ok to bang
- Bechdel test passed
- the vampire as cholera

I will say this spooky season I reiterate my complaint that every single adaption of Dracula seems to be less feminist than the 1897 original.

Went to a haunted house soiree thing, looked stunningly hot. Now I awaken with ye old post event mild migraine.

It's like a hangover for loud audio/late nights.

I added a D to the Narnia guy's name bc I thought it would be funny

Miss Pearl 🍁 @omisspearl.bsky.social · 2d

I would like something that doesn't make it a grand forbidden romance between one of the victims and Dracula. It remains remarkable that subsequent adaptions from the original are all *less* feminist than the source material.

Unfortunately the budget for studying the various flavours of school/religious place of worship shooters the US mostly deals with has been killed because it requires you to address just how into white nationalism and misogyny these people are.
