This week's column includes an excerpt of a #love story found right here on @bsky.app

An enormous thank you to @cathsheard.bsky.social for allowing me to share part of her special journey with Tony.

Mea culpa, Universe. Dolly has now addressed this, saying she has more work to do.

Anyway, if you happen to be reading this, look at her Imagination Library scheme and then stream/buy her music and books so that she can carry on this great work.

There's no need. Whatever feels right to you in the moment is right. Creation is seasonal, even for Papatūānuku, the greatest artist of them all.

I shouldn't have looked at the comments. Fight the fascists, not each other, people.

Is Pritzker getting hotter by the hour, or is it just my integrity kink kicking up again?

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 3d

If you come for my people, you come through me.

I stand with survivors.

This was despicable behaviour and deserved a harsher penalty.

I also find it ridiculous that a judge can decline to add an offender's name to the CSO register when they've been convicted.

Teacher guilty of sexually abusing student given home detention

The Auckland teacher had earlier pleaded guilty to abusing an 11-year-old student more than 20 years her junior.

We lose Dr Jane Goodall and now Dolly is sick?

Come the f*ck on, Universe, give us a break!

Holding space for the better version of you, Wired. Go touch some grass.

I notice people judging findommes and I wish they could look beyond the #paypig and #walletdraining aspects. There's so much more to it than that. Surrendering control can be a gift the #sub gives to themselves, not just their #Mistress. Be kind to your local kinky b!+ch, people. 🧵

After a year, he was in great shape and he'd been promoted at work. He got interested in one of the local charities and met his best mate volunteering there. At a local fun run, he met a girl (now his wife). None of it, he says, would have happened without me. I'm glad, and I'll take it.

* Many lovely treats for myself (obviously)
* A vege box subscription and cookbooks for his kitchen
* A treadmill and dumbbells for his garage
* Entry fees so we could run 5k's and 10k's
* Online study courses
* 15% into savings and 5% to charity (if he was good, he got to choose the charity)

So many people look down on #findomme relationships, but while I was draining his wallet, I spent his monthly salary on:

🧵 A thank you note arrived today, from a former thrall. There's a picture of him, with his gorgeous new baby in the arms of his lovely wife, in front of the house they just bought. His best mate took the photo.

Because, pretty.

#Poetry drafts that you write at 5am (having been #awake since 2am) turn out brilliantly, right? Right?

Little Women, Anne of Green Gables and Jane Eyre were my holy trinity as a child. Although, how much I actually understood Jane Eyre at age 8 is debatable.

Usually, I'd be easily persuaded by a kink, but I've already voted for the Fairy Tern (only 40 left!)

I could understand discounts if someone turns themselves in and voluntarily enters a therapeutic journey.

But if they have to get caught before accountability hits, then tough beans, buddy.

Should've thrown the book.

Check out my chat with Viv from Girls Get Off. Interesting insights into a female-led pleasure business... and if you're a bargain queen, this column has a happy ending!

LIGHT SENTENCE

We should believe survivors, but for those who won't

I'll just say that if you write a "he seems like such a good boy and he's got his whole life ahead of him" letter for a judge

The next time he grapes

You should be charged as an accessory

Not #poetry just #rage
