I have officially launched TrueRef's new timed gesture tool (Flow) & free pose library (Pose)! Both are linked on trueref.io.

While limited right now, both will contain our full free library by the 1st. 🤍

Flow: community.trueref.io/trueref_gest...
Pose: community.trueref.io/free_referen...

Your occasional reminder that the positive effects of UBI have been tested and validated hundreds of times more often than the murderous Musk robotaxis or LLM’s we’re rushing to put into our schools and streets.

MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!
WHY? On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell. Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell. If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard. HOW? BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are: 1. VISA: (US + Can): +1 [8001-847-2911 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3 2. MASTERCARD: (US): +1 (8001-307-7309 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1 Phone (outside US): 1-636-722-7111 3. STRIPE: (Headquarters): +118881 963-8955 (France): +33 805-11-19-67 Stripe: complaints@stripe.com 4. PAYPAL: (US): +1 (888)-221-1161 (outside US): 1-402-935-2050 Customer Service: +1 (877)-569-1116

Great article! I've been feeling this for a long time now. Even before January. I believe most folks already know all of this by now, but it helps to have a reminder every so often.
From the article quoted: "'For most people, social media gives you this sense that unless you care about everything, you care about nothing. You must try to swallow the world while it's on fire,' said Cross. 'But we didn't evolve to be able to absorb this much info. It makes you devalue the work you can do in your community."

It's finally done! 🤍✨

I've tagged and archived ALL 670+ of our free pose references! These are the references you see me post to socials, including our Pinterest.

This library will be updated each pack launch, and more filters will be added. It's just a little library for now, but she'll grow.

@eronious.bsky.social often finds herself tied up in knots with her anxiety, until one day she finds a release by... tying herself up in actual knots with rope! Learn more about the comforting non-sexual side of Shibari ropes in this comic from our archive. 1/2
www.ohjoysextoy.com/deep-pressur...
eronious draws in black and white with pops of a teal color on the ropes in this comic. IMAGE: A person stands in front of their mirror confidently, wearing a bra, underwear, and fuzzy slippers. A rope is partially tied around their neck and chest, with lots of cord coiling on the floor. The person ties a knot and then loops it into a pattern around their tummy, with the text "KNOTS! --> LOOPS!" accompanying the illustrations. The person looks down at their handiwork with happiness while thinking "oh. wow." Pale green spritual-feelings-hands wrap around the person in a comforting way. Close-up of the person's face, looking very content and blushing a little. TEXT: This feels kind of like... a hug. Narration: Hours Later... Image: Still in their rope harness, eronious and their partner snuggle. "Isn't that getting uncomfortable?" Asks the partner affectionately. "Actually, I'm still really enjoying how it feels." They reply. Narration: That day changed the way I viewed Shibari. It didn't just have to be for spicy times, I could utilize this for my own mental health. When I researched more about it I discovered the term: DEEP PRESSURE STIMULATION. Applying FIRM gentle pressure that elicits a relaxing response in your nervous system. ILLUSTRATION: The person reclines on their bed, fully clothed, with rope tied around their chest. They are researching on their laptop with their black cat looking over their shoulder. The person thinks "Oh shiiiiiiiit..." Narration: This technique isn't new at all! We swaddle our babies. We use weighted blankets. Image: Illustrations of a happily swaddled baby and a happy adult nested in a 40lb blanket. Narration: We hug our friends when they're sad and need comforting. Image: A trio of friends hug. Narration: Truthfully, I struggle a lot with severe anxiety issues. Image: In distress, eronious holds their head in their hands, asking themself, "Oh no... what did you do?!" Narration: Some days are just really hard and hugs are scarce when you live alone. Image: An anxiety meter rises across the spectrum to peek stress. eronious sits by the anxiety meter, fretting and tensing, fidgeting with a paper in their hands and tapping their foot, thinking, "shit shit shit" "hey..." a voice says near their head as they wrap their arms around themself frantically. Narration: It's up to me to self soothe. "that rope thing could help" The voice suggests. "right." "where are you?" eronious asks themself as they dig through a drawer until they find their rope. Triumphantly, they hold it aloft (It is 30ft cotton) "through the bight..." They think to themself as the begin typing the rope around their chest with their cat watching on with interest. Their anxiety meter begins dropping down to lower registers. Narration: Tying each knot draws focus from my spiraling thoughts. Every loop around adds compression and helps slow down my breathing ad heart rate. Image: The cat plays with the extra length of rope as it dangles out of the panel. Narration: In a quick pinch, I'll just wrap it around my chest and throw on a comfy HOODIE. Image: We have an x-ray view through eronious' big baggy hoody to see the rope bound around their chest in straight lines, no fancy knots or designs. Narration: If I have the time, I can find a more challenging harness tutorial to focus on. Image: The anxiety meter continues to descend as eronious watches a video tutorial with intense concentration as they attempt to replicate the steps on themself with their rope.
