It's Tech Week! Feed Your Veterinary Support Staff, Send Them A Nice Little Note, And As Always, Be Kind

There was a time when rough sex meant some hair pulling, mutual scratching (nails down backs or w.e.) and biting kisses, maybe a spank or two to a butt cheek and was more about the quality of the thrusts involved than it was the rest of the actions. Rough sex was desperate, hurried, rushed, and a bit animalistic, but it was more often than not a mutual level of roughness. The fact that BDSM has gone incredibly mainstream has taken what used to be, in my mind, an acceptable level of roughness to something considered "vanillas" by most people and instead introduced things that at the time I was discovering sex were considered hard core -> gore into the every day lexicon and sexual expectations of the porn addicted adult is incredibly concerning. Even those within the scene are growing increasingly alarmed at what is going on in the new scene where the "rights of passage" aren't being upheld. Where people are doing these incredibly hardcore scenes without any kind of education on the safety backups integrated into them, where they aren't checking in on their partners, where they're either unable or unwilling to read their partner's non-verbal cues. I was talking to an older professional leather butch a few months ago about this, about how there's been this shift away from safe & sane to an attitude that as long as it's consensual in the beginning it's fine for a growing number of faux-doms who got all of their education on BDSM from the kink castle's pornos and have never been a sub under someone else. These faux-doms can not manage to maintain arousal outside of a scene and that the focus has shifted from the subs' needs and desires to those of the dom/domme. Face hits were taboo, even in the scene for a long time, especially closed fist ones. Now we have doms openly bragging about punching subs in the face. BDSM has expanded so rapidly and warped so much darker than it was even 10-15 years ago in comparison to what it's become now.

whenever someone says kink is unethical they’re not talking about how you’re into feet or whatever, they’re talking about men who beat, choke, and pretend to rape their girlfriends during sex and play it off like it’s #progressive

Interesting, I'm an ENTJ in every Meyers Briggs I've ever taken, except for this one.

everyone take this test and tell me which grant function, second and third best choice you got ☕

hi! please could you recommend cheap fragrance free moisturisers, suncream and cleansers (both oil and water based), as well as body wash, shampoo and conditioner? :) thank you ♡

Hi Nonnie! Of course!

For Drugstore fragrance-free products in the $5-$15 per product range, I really like CereVe for facial skincare, they have a foaming oil cleanser. They're too mass-market for my tastes. However, they are dermatologist-recommended and affordable. I also believe some of their packaging is recyclable, but check with your recycling provider to see what plastics they accept and don't accept.

They also have fragrance-free sunscreens with and without tint if you're looking for something with more of a BB Cream effect, and an AM and PM moisturizer pair, with the AM moisturizer having SPF 30 built-in.

As far as body wash & shampoo, I'm honestly not sure about fragrance-free products, I'm sure there are plenty out there. However, I switched to an all-in-one castile soap from Dr Bronners for my body, face, and hair (which is unscented), and I really just use natural oils to condition my hair. I also home-make a lot of my skincare & hair care, and I'll be posting skincare & beauty recipes soon to help you ladies start crafting your skincare from food-grade ingredients.

I opted for the paragard IUD. It's hormone free, and as long as you don't have a copper allergy, it's a great option that lasts for 10 years. If you've had negative physical or psychiatric reactions to hormonal birth control options, Paragard is the way to go.

I love you planned parenthood 💖

It’s honestly traumatizing and my heart goes out to anyone who’s experienced this

Slow dancing to George Strait in the living room, Scrambled eggs made into breakfast tacos, stolen kisses over coffee mugs, the surprise appearance of Sugar and creamer in the fridge in a house where the coffee is always black, PBRs next to Coors Banquets, cozy nights and early mornings that are still slow paced and sweet, not minding that one of them sings off key and the other performs 3 nights a week, 2 left feet learning to two-step because it makes the dancer smile and laugh, sharing a pew and stolen glances over the sermon, range days and rainy days, stolen hoodies smelling of horse flesh and a forge, bourbon and woodsmoke, candid photos, splinters in palms patching up slag burns on forearms, shared prayers and shared breaths, a Pecan and a Possum, all eyes in the bar on the couple on the dance floor but they've only got eyes for each other. Hoof testers next to chisels, steel and maple. Hand crafted Belts exchanged for hand carved knives. Critters creating chaos, and the chaos being just fine.
