I'll post the Friday meme later today but right now I need to get this out there.

So, I’m assuming I don’t need to say this, but on the off chance I do, if you are someone who feels that kink is inherently sexual and/or that things that could be interpreted as kinky have no place at Pride/public events, I’ll ask that you quietly leave this space.

I’m not down for anyone imposing sexuality on me if I don’t choose it and the fact that I keep seeing this come up and people doing exactly that, is just really getting under my skin. How I get through the day, how I survive doesn't deserve to be sexualized by you, or anyone else. If you choose to engage in similar activities that get you off, that's fine, but fuck you if you think you have any right to know, or assume anything about me that I don't offer up freely.

I will goddamn survive, and if I choose to do that with a collar around my neck, so fucking be it.

Please note: This is not up for debate. I deserve to feel safe in the space I made for myself and that is what I'm doing here.

(no subject)

It's been a long day and even though changes are coming for me and mine, I'm hoping they will be good ones. I hope you can find the good, even for a second, in the day ahead. If not, I hope you can keep your head up until it comes for you.
