Respecting Submissives & Stuff. :)

 

Sub Abuse - Abuse of Subs. 

While most people I've come across that are involved in, or living some sort of BDSM alternative life, there are some clueless, evil and nasty people out there...that take advantage of subs (male, female, gender fluid) and sometimes subs are under the incorrect notion they have to tolerate this in order to be a "good" submissive. No, nope, hell no, fuck no. 

You are offering yourself, your body, mind, soul, your spirit, to someone to cherish, use, take, appreciate and protect. If someone abuses that, if they can't value what you are, your worth, and your offerings...dump them and find some who will. Being a sub, being down under, beneath, between and behind, below, does *not* mean you should not be treated with dignity, have your limits respected, and be afforded any and all other rights and considerations that all human beings deserve. Sure, these are complex, bizarre to "vanilla" people, strange and unique relationships, not easily understood, hard to arrange and even harder to understand, but egalitarianism must exist, in all cases. 

 A sub does *not* have to do anything and everything, just to be considered a good sub, loyal and devoted. At the same time, I am not a fan of "do-me" subs. Its not the obligation of a Domme to cater to a subs every wish and fantasy. I think a few people stay in a BDSM relationship out of fear of not finding someone else, due to the scarcity of people that have this interest. The fear of being alone, or having to seek out someone else, keeps them in a less than desirable and often unhealthy dynamic. Trying to find someone new indeed is daunting. Running ads, attending munches and play parties, apps, getting hopes up, things don't always work out, it can be exhausting. It helps to approach this with cautious pragmatism. Not being overtly negative, not being blindingly optimistic, just...being realistic as a self protection mechanism. If things don't go well, you won't be disappointed. But when they do, you'll be pleasantly surprised.  :)

He really "owned" the libs this time.  :)

 

Imagine the effort it takes to believe all these things at the same time.

Full disclosure...I am an Independent /Libertarian. I have voted for Republicans and Democrats, but I did *not* vote for Biden and I sure as fuck did *not* vote for Trump. I don't subscribe to the typical "left/right" paradigm of politics. I think everyone has the right, responsibility and obligation to take part in the political sphere, to make their voice heard, to right wrongs, and to fight for egalitarianism. Below is my 2020 election ballot, just for proof. 

 

Dismissed in 2012, this diagnosis of GOP ills has now become undeniable.

The essay described congressional extremists, their rejection of truth, a party turning into authoritarians or "an apocalyptic cult."

 

Why McCarthy and McConnell want you to forget about the January 6th riot. 

“The president bears responsibility,” McCarthy (R-Bakersfield), the Republican leader in the House, said back then.  

“The mob was fed lies,” McConnell (R-Ky.), the Senate Republican leader, said. “They were provoked by the president.” 

National Guard ending mission at Capitol.

The US National Guard is going home. After four months of being deployed in our nations capital, after an insurrection brought on by Trump and *some* Republicans, they were stationed there, for four months, to protect the US Capital, our elected legislators and democracy, from being overthrown and burnt to the ground....by treasonous Trump cult members and unpatriotic, traitorous, out-of-touch with reality Republicans. What a party.

I love how the pieces missing in the parents, make up the pieces of the child.

Photo below was sent by a reader...who thought it was hilarious. I admit, it is amusing, but I temper this with pointing out that he resides in Antarctica, so he's got frostbite of the brain, plus the cold made his balls atrophy...and then fall off, so what the hell does he know.  :) 

Some sort of Rainforest looking ambiance, right outside the bathroom walls. 

Tarzan? You there? Come on in... :)

 

Okay, so I'm not a huge overnight outdoors fan. I love a shower, a bed, heat or A/C when needed and no rabid vermin or varmints trying to climb all over me while sleeping (men included, lol). However, if I *were* the type to engage in such uncivilized barbaric activity...this is one amazing device.  :)
