Uhm yeah so. I was trying to learn to surf and...this happened? And it was cute at first but then it *would not get off my board* and then it started to *tear chunks off my board and eat them* and uh so I swam back towing an otter and I don't know if I will try surfing again

Stefanos had orthopedic surgery today, which went as expected but carries a high infection risk. His vital signs & labs are much the same. He is in critical but stable condition.
I will likely move updates here, & also for those asking how they can help:
In which someone responded to one of my bondage pics on FetLife asking "Accidents happen and we need to do our part to not contribute to ER overload, shouldn't we avoid doing bondage at all right now?" and turns out I have *opinions* about that 😇
Honored to tie with IG insignia.00 at New Bohemia NYE! I don't have words for how much I appreciate her & how amazing she is 💗
It was incredible to ring in the New Year with all the amazing

Friends! I'm getting to the point of putting the info for my self-suspension book into Amazon and doing cover design...and am working on a subtitle. Title is "Tying and Flying." So far for subtitle I'm thinking "Bondage for self-suspension." Thoughts? Ideas?

On the "maybe 5% of things are not hopeless garbage" front: we adopted a new doggo! She is about 5 years old. We named her Demeter (she has clearly had many puppies). She is the sweetest pittie baby 🥰
Eeeeeeee! First teaser pic from the set with

and photographer IG pavligerp, taken last night in the Sacred Muse construction! I'm so in love with it and can't wait to see the rest. 🥰
I bought these shoes w overtime money I made near the beginning of the pandemic, longing for the day when I would get to wear them at an event. Almost a year later, I wore them for the first time, for a private photo shoot with
@maestrostefanos
...as events only look further away.
Got an IG comment on these pics saying: "I just don't know if it's real bondage with the hands free"
🤣
Thank you for the observation, IG rando, we'll just be over here doing fake whatever 🙃😘
Unpopular? opinion: valuing demo partners is more complicated than "credit them as co-presenters."
I've demo bottomed (& topped) for classes where I'd for sure not want to be listed as a co-presenter, because I didn't have that level of involvement. My role was still valuable.
Ok so doing a satyr/fawn bondage performance on jumping stilts, as one does, and a combo of the down lights, angle, this particular type of muscle strain, and probably me being a little dehydrated tbh resulted in video where my abs look like this which...fake news, fake news 😮
If an organization is run by assholes, don't go hard for said organization because you believe in the stated mission or love the other volunteers or think the "exposure" will be good or whatever. The rot at the top will infect the whole thing and you're wasting your fucking time.
If you could go back and tell 2009 You one piece of advice that would have REALLY HELPED if it hadn’t taken you this WHOLE DECADE to learn, what would it be?
Angel & I had an amazing time performing at
@FolsomStEvents
UYA
Hard to choose which pics to post but as an opening salvo I'm going with "in which do both of our abs look the best." By those criteria this is the clear winner🏆

One of my co-workers started having an emotional breakdown, and several other co-workers stopped working to comfort her/talk to her. In the meantime I covered her patients. Which I feel really is my personality in a nutshell...shoulder to cry on? No so much. Manage shit? Can do.

I fear when this is over (and it's going to be a LONG road), we won't have venues to go back to, as many will go out of business. Your local kink orgs are not going to get a government bail-out. I know there will be more GoFundMe's and I'll post them in the days to come. 💔
