Most of New Orleans has taken off for Mardi Gras. But I am sitting here drafting a skull and roses strap on harness.

First outdoor hydroponic tower is up and running! Let's see how the little tomato test plant does. I suspect this might be too much sun.

Pics I took in Jordan. First one in Wadi Rum, second outside the Petra treasury at night. It makes me do mad that with the way things are going it's possible more a d more of the world can be shut off to me for travel. There are already so many places I want to go, but can't cuz men are stupid.

Some of the pieces added to the shop this week

Someone on threads accused me of spreading misinformation for saying it is illegal to protest in some places in the US. To anyone with experience in protests this is pretty common knowledge.

My coworker can't stop bring king cakes to work to share with everyone. When I tell yall that my life is suffering, you cannot comprehend the depths. /sarcasm

If you're only posting about how all the terrible things will be terrible but not a single thing about how people can help themselves or others...you're just helping their shock and awe strategy along.

The chimera floggers. They're a little bit of everything. I don't make them often because like 30 different hides go into making one, but I think they're cool.

The cycle of older straight white dude who surrounds himself with only younger, attractive women becoming problematic is one that I feel like the kink community just can't ever stop themselves from going around and around and around.

I agree with a lot of people in New Orleans that everyone out playing in the snow is a super magical thing and it's nice to so many people taking a break and having fun. But every time I see the beautiful pictures I feel sad and like there's this looming threat.

My life choices have led me down a path that means I find myself often having to explain to full grown adults that vulva do not possess magical powers akin to either an easy bake over, or an autoclave.

I live in New Orleans.

Okay, but I just don't have the energy today to be enraged. So many people didn't realize how bad it was until this year because it didn't affect them or anyone they cared about and the apparently can't manage empathy for anyone different.

Today has just been an influx of alerts from the city of new orleans slowly shutting itself down before a single flake has fallen. First they shut down all public transport, then the ferries and port, now they're blocking off and closing all the freeways.

ICE IS FALLING FROM THE SKY WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!?!?

Me- Imma stay home from work today because I don't feel good and woke up with a sore throat and my face covered in blood (nosebleed) Three hours later- Me after I put the walls, roof, and doors on the shed I'm building out in 42 degree weather and wind.

So I salvaged these French doors for my office. Lots of stripping sanding hole filling, etc. Ignore that they don't have glass. That's coming. I ordered these fancy cremone bolts for them which need bolt holes at the floor and top

People can hate on tiktok all they want, but it has been more effective at allowing people to organize protests, mutual aid, and let minorities start lucrative businesses than any other platform.

A wild night at my house be like

I'm in love with this leather

They claim we are shoving our lifestyle down their throats just by being alive, yet I can't even cook eggs without their deranged fantasies in my face.

It is fricking soup season!
