Update on my Basis birthday fundraiser! Thank you so much, everyone. You’ve smashed it. Here is the link if anyone else fancied purchasing some supplies for supporting women dealing with poverty, homelessness, and abuse.

porn is not evil.
sex is not evil.
pleasure is not evil.
kink is not evil.

none of them are things to feel shame or embarrassment about.

none of them deserve the heavy-handed censorship that they're facing.

resist oppression (even if you don't partake in what is being oppressed)

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

I've been up for all of 5 minutes but when you see good lighting you have to go for it

I'll always be a sucker for a good lens flare ✨

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!!!

Our Thor's Hammers are incredible for some intense impact play! 😈

It's comes in a small or large size and definitely packs quite a "thuddy" punch 😱

If you're feeling adventurous we highly suggest adding one of Thors Hammer to your collection.

#Kink

Ein Dom wird niemals verlangen,

das du ihm bedingungslos alles glaubst.

Er wird sich wünschen,

das du fragst,

prüfst

Erkundigungen einholst,

verstehst,

und dann erst entscheidest,

ob du vertraust.
