Yeah, I've seen the FA Announcement/FAQ/Clarification and reactions to such.... and, while I understand the concern, I find myself not terribly moved. Really, so many earlier policy changes or "clarifications" were MUCH more worrisome. If(f) it's just "don't show KIDS in sexual situations" I'm fine with that. If it's "anyone under X height is a kid" well, that's mighty damned stupid. Hell, consider fae - ANCIENT, long lived, TINY... so... the metric would be garbage (HINT: ANY metric, once published WILL {not 'can be' but WILL!} be gamed.). I get that 'chibi' is a weird border case, but...to be honest, "chibi" squicks me out. I've rejected commissions that tried to go that way.

That said, I do have some concern. While I have NO interest in "kiddie" anything that isn't "Could be shown on TV in the 1950's." there is the POSSIBILITY some doofus could get confused and see things that are not there. Thus I ask:

Is there ANY image in my gallery that might, if looked at sideways and squinting, be a possible violation of this (newly enforced) policy?

I do not believe so, but... I am biased. What say YOU?

I would FAR rather delete an item here (and keep it on my local drives - yes, plural... backups are your friends. Restores are even better friends!) than lose the account or such. For one, as crap as FA can be, it's still the best choice as far as I can tell. DA is... well... how do I put this... insane. And that's on the good days. Other places seem to be screwier still.

So... anything I ought worry about?

A tap is a tap or a zap or both?

Instead of the fellow being suspended or tied down to the 'floor' above with his fellows hanging out to be used a speed-bag, there is a normal-looking speed-bag. But it's not normal. It's rigged with an array of sensors to pick up where it's hit and how hard. The information is transferred by wire (or wireless) to a rig that sends 'taps' or zap that the rig rigged around the fellow's fellows imparts. This setup means perhaps a bit more freedom of range for the gal practicing. And, being electrical signals, they can be recorded and played back later - for that fellow, or another. Perhaps with a video of the gal going at the speed-bag so he can... enjoy... seeing her work him over. Or someone might be mean and play a video that doesn't match the speed-bag recording. Oh, and signals can be... amplified.

This might also work as a way to have one gal go at two or more guys in an endurance contest. Like they'd have any choice to not endure it all.

You want me to watch you work out, but I have to dress special? Well, I suppose.

A snippet from a work that does NOT EXIST;

"I don’t know where the engine room folks found the fuel, and I am NOT fool enough to ask, but they ran the engines flat-out and I swear they pulled MANY DAYS worth of fuel from dry tanks. Damn right I bought every last one down there a CASE of scotch. Expensive? Compared to the cost of WAR? Drown your engineers in whisky. It’s cheaper than war, no matter the price."

A fellow was asked about this, pondering Jewish (recall the Grand Tale of Hannukkah - the Festival of Lights (where there was NOT enough fuel, and yet -miraculously- there was) lore. He responded,;

I got nothin'. But I'll bet the ship is called "The Maccabeus".

And, mind you, with a couple exceptions (kiddie/cub stuff...) I am NOT saying that 'your kink is not OK.' It's not like my interests are anything in the neighborhood of normal or sane, I know. Heck, there's likely some outright snuff that is less insane. And, I know, some situations I've posted would likely be fatal due to shock, even if that was not the point of such.

Some things, as messed up as they might well be, I at least KINDA get. The gay/lesbian stuff isn't for me, but it's all but mundane nowadays. No big deal AT ALL. Occasionally I see see an image and go "Oh , cool.... oh, well, for someone else." NOTE AGAIN: NOT saying it should not be. I just haves me my preferences as others have theirs.

There are "inflation" or "gainer" and even hyper or macro things. I do NOT 'get' them. And yes, I know, those are NOT all the same for those into them, even if just lumped them together. Again, NOT saying they're WRONG... just they ain't for me.

One the other end, I don't get 'micro' whether micro-bits or micro-character. But if you like that, cool.

I really, REALLY do not get the scat or infantilism/diaper thing. But... who am I to judge? Heck, I know I can't even claim "consenting" for so much.

Nor the herm stuff - even though such do actually exist...

Now, ponyplay or such? I so get that. I might "misplace" the reins... Also almost any cis/het play. Almost, not all.

I am NOT saying that if you like what I do not that you must change or that you are evil. Really, I know I'm screwed up too, just in a different way (and maybe far worse), and this is just me "blowing off steam." Carry on!

Now, I know sites that do not charge rely on ads for revenue. I'm alright with that, really. Sometime I even BUY from such places.
BUT... if the product or service is worth ANYTHING, it will "sell itself" and even if I don't consciously see it, it is still there.
HOWEVER, I loathe, with a BURNING PASSION the eyeball-hijacking CRAP-SPAM that require animation/blinking/etc. And I have an extension that allows to block such things. It annoys me to need to deploy or engage it, but BlinkenScheisse only gets to annoy me ONCE. THEN. IT. DIES! Static ads live. Blinkenshit DIES! IF that costs a company their EXISTENCE... well, maybe their REPLACEMENTS will not be so stupid! Call it... EVOLUTION! If your product or service is so atrociously craptastically, dung-sucking bad that you NEED to animate it (withOUT my consent - my clicking on a video to see its another matter) I will vote with my Dollars (or Euros or Shekels or Gold or...) and I WILL VOTE for SOMEONE ELSE.

From bolts to nuts

You might have heard of the captive-bolt gun used to stun (or more) livestock for slaughter. This is not that, not quite. No, this gadget has a sort of enclosure that is slipped around the fellow's fellows. Maybe it even has an adjustment to bring the fore close to the aft so there is no air gap. And then when trigger is squeezed, a charge goes off and the balls are truly busted, his nuts quickly cracked, eggs crushed.. you get the idea.

Thus in the image he is nude and bound (pick a method and position) and she has this clever/nasty gadget in place (or is she just showing it off, for now?) and is clearly just about to use it for what it was made to do. There might even be another fellow knowing that he'll be next...

Not everybody must get stoned, but he will be.

It's a nice calm lake. Or maybe a nice calm river. The gals invited him out to a secluded area for an afternoon of fun and games, and well, they were sure having fun with this game. He was on a partly submerged platform, strapped into a place. The Plexiglas guard meant the stones they were skipping across the water wouldn't hurt his belly or legs if they go high, low, left, or right. But there was that opening just there, they'd made sure of the alignment. And made sure his swimwear [If he gets to wear any, of course.] was a nice, bright orange inviting target around his balls.

The game, or perhaps pastime, he wasn't sure if there were any scores being kept, was simple: the gals would skip stones across the water and try to hit his stones (right at the waterline) with theirs. They were good at this - and getting better with all the practice.

A beach party? Sure!

Yes it can. And it is happening.

Summary: Because someone(S) demands "Respekt mah authoritay!" AND doesn't (refuses to) comprehend language, it is now unsafe to post stories as words are being re- and mis- and mal-defined to serve whatever the power-grabber(s) wish. A pox upon them.

I will, eventually, post the image myself (I have permission from the artist) but it is late in my 'day' for me and besides, the artist deserves the views & comments...

First, take a look here:

and meet Olivia who has a thing (and then some) about electricity.

Yes, I had to go and comment on that, and I guess Olivia heard me...
...and that might be part of how I wound up 'wired for sound' as it were.
As for what else might have lead to that, let your mind speculate!

I'd be LAUGHING my butt off at the show of utter incompetence and nonsense.

A "coup" (with more people than NORMANDY and almost nothing happened! Huh? And Mr. Horned Helmet Man... and an *entourage* of camera-bearers.. gee, THAT wasn't staged as Hell, was it?). A real coup looks like Myanmar/Burma. Not "Please go home in peace."

The sad thing? The lying is only going to get worse.

For all Trump's faults (and there are plenty) he has the sense to be quiet right now.

Let Biden/Harris dig their reputation's grave all by themselves, with nobody but themselves to blame.

Me? I'm hoping I can get by in the coming disaster. I don't know what disaster, exactly, but Depression, Famine, War all look increasingly probable. If we're *really* lucky, it'll only be as bad as the 1970's. I am not that optimistic. I wish I could be. I fear I cannot afford to be.

If you are in a country that somehow depends on the USA (monetary aid, trade, defense, food aid) make contingency plans - you're gonna need them. Damnit.

Go read and ponder.

You might have heard about various (lack of) services colluding to deny access to the _sitting_ President of the United States of America.
And of Amazon Web Service cutting off the alternative to Twitter that is Parler.
So, how to bypass the evil?

Parler will likely be back, but it will take time. They did not, alas, pay attention to the precursor, Gab (a *genuine* free speech site - they will come down HARD on truly illegal things, but if it's only discomforting but NOT actually illegal, it stays - no matter HOW distasteful... with one exception - they do NOT allow porn) whcih has been through it all before. Right now, Gab is slow or in "maintenance" a lot. That happens when your userbase climbs 800% almost overnight. Gab has bypassed denial of servers, denial of payment processor, denial of app store access, etc. They've BEEN THERE... and are still going. Good for them!

Twitter? Gab, Parler (eventually again)
Facebuchenwald? MeWe.
Google? DuckDuckGo. It's weird, but even Microsoft's Bing is something to consider as an alternative.
Not so sure about Discord - but they MIGHT have just signed their own death warrant by encouraging a Truly Free competitor.
There ARE alternatives.
Email? Go European if you can - as screwy as much of European stuff is (the EU is nigh-insane), the privacy laws are good and have some teeth.

Evidently Gab has been all but drowning in e-mails of people looking for jobs NOT in the censorious sector.

Good luck!

"When you begin by burning books, you will end by burning people." - Henrich Heinrich

Even if the 'book' is digital and there is no actual flame for the 'burning' of the book.

The end result is the same.

Pray we don't [have to] (re)learn this the hard way.


Consider reading some Kipling as well:

The Gods of the Copybook Headings
http://www.kiplingsociety.co.uk/poems_copybook.htm

"And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!"

[For the hopelessly slow, this is NOT incitement. It is sad prediction of following the course of Known Folly. I seek to *PREVENT* it.]

I hadn't cleared the list of new Watchers for a few days (still haven't) and one went 'REMOVED BY USER' - no biggie, really. Honestly, I am kind of astonished anyone watches - I, *myself*, produce nothing but a few tiny bits of speculation. I pay some with talent to turn speculative words into images, when I can. It'd be NO surprise to find those who 'discovered' this account bailed and instead watch(ed) only the image-makers. It just happens that THIS time, I saw the result in the notification summary - something I had simply not witnessed before.

Fwiw, another image should be ready Real Soon Now. I must say that artist(s) are BEYOND patient (though one might claim the same of me). Be hopefull, but do not hold your breath.

As for Bad Ideas..well there was quite a burst (think flood).... and well, a drought has followed. I ain't thrilled either.

Meanwhile: Ponder what you need to deal with a few days of being stuck at home. It's NOT (just) post-election - in USA - stupidity. There are Winter storms and other Disasters (Natural and Otherwise). Being ready for the general case is simply a Good Idea.

I have enough food to last a while.
Enough drink (not just alcohol! And the 190 proof is NOT for drinking! It is: Disinfectant, Fuel, Solvent, etc.)
An alternate setup to allow cooking during blackout if need be.
Backup lighting. You get the idea.

I am *sure* I've overlooked some things - but I am looking more at "Winter Storm" than The Apocalypse. A few days, not "I need to reboot civilization" (You want that story, read 'A Canticle for Liebowitz' or the like).

Oh, and one little bit of great advice from Douglass Adams:

DON'T PANIC

I have my preferences, yours might very well be different.

I will not tell you who or what to vote for... or against.

Chances are you've already made that decision anyway.

BUT... if you are legally eligible to vote, you should do so.

Unlike many, I suggest that unless circumstances force things otherwise, you vote on the Official Election Day.

Why? So NOBODY has fore-knowledge of how much fraud they need to get their way despite how Jane & John Q. Public vote(d).

Just was dealing with work (which went all Handbasket, and you know where that was headed) then a vacation with family (what's left of it), and then BACK to work (a prettier handbasket is still a handbasket... and the destination doesn't change, really) so it'll be a little while before I can truly wind down, despite the vacation bit.

If you are NOT alcoholic*, remember, it is no long "five o'clock somewhere" it's 2020 *EVERYWHERE* - have a pull!

* If you are: You poor bastard. Dealing with this year stone cold sober should be at least one Eternity off Purgatory if that's a thing.

If I ask WTH a "Protogen" will I regret the answer?

There are shirts that "warn" that they kick balls.

Now, to find find a female soccer player and help her practice.

Or team, if I'm up to it.

As I was working on the last journal post, I had spill that zorched my keyboard (on laptop now) and I hadn't realized it was screwy enough that it posted every attempt. Just did a mass-deletion of the zorched nonsense.

Hell yes they do!

But now ask yourselves..

Do NON-Black live ALSO matter?


You just said "Hell yes!" didn't you?

But if that does NOT include "ALL live matter" then what does THAT say?


Yes, BLACK lives matter.
And Brown lives matter.
And Red lives matter.
And Yellow lives matter.
And Gay lives matter.
And, yes, even WHITE lives matter.
BUT if NOT ALL all lives matter, WTF is WRONG, Huh?

If this offends you, go look in a mirror and play "find the fucking racist."

Hands-on remote control

Yes, it's a variation of the Nintendo Power Glove.
She wears it, and it is the transmitter (or transceiver if there is force feedback). And of course, he wears the receiver (or transceiver for force feedback). It's her controller, and he gets controlled - you know how. The Nintendo design was around 1990, with the technology and limits of the time - the 486 was new, the Pentium and Windows 95 being in the future. Now, all these years later, with bluetooth and wifi and more capable electronics, the resolution can be much finer. Precision control. She can give a gentle reminder, a quick warning, a mild to sharp rebuke, or... more. MUCH more. If you've seen and remember the movie Spaceballs you have the idea.

And with more capable systems, she can have the control address a single person, or a couple, or a group, or even broadcast to affect everyone in range - and the range doesn't need to be local nowadays.

Gloves, like testicles, come in pairs, too... virtual reins for her ponyboy(s)?

While it might be most interesting to show things in use with him (them) minimally dressed, nothing prevents her having her... entourage... fully dressed and discreetly controlled when out and about.

You want me to try on some new activewear? Really active? And you'll help me put it on to be sure of proper fit? Well now.

Bounce and Jiggle causes Wince and Wriggle

Instead of relaxing in hammock (See Bad Idea #89: Her rest. His pain.) she is a bit more active, having some fun bouncing on a trampoline. Or perhaps it is more of a trample-ine. At least one of the support lines for the trampoline splits into two near the end, and pull down on a board or such... that rests atop a bound fellow's balls. Said balls are resting on a support such that the setup is a vice. If the the trampoline has nobody on it, it's so light as not matter to him at all. Someone on it, but keeping still, gets his attention, but isn't really painful... merely... exciting. But bouncing? Each 'landing' is something of a kick.

Is it just the one fellow, and many more typical supports? Is it several guys so she can enjoy the view of pain no matter which way she's facing or looking? Did she invite a friend or two? And will that last bounce before ending her time be placed to really hit him (or one particular fellow) so it's his last time as well?

Wait... you WANT me to stare at your tits as you jump? Like I can say no to that.

While this is not what I had in mind for this, if you find the above amusing, you will likely find  SueaNoi's sketch amusing. A different and more... immediately decisive.. take on things.

Or: They Have Slingshots

The big fellow is behind a wall, and strapped to it so he will not be going anywhere. His head is above the wall (perhaps a clear sheild, just in case) so he can see what is coming, though he can do nothing about it. Well, not ALL is behind the wall. There is a hole in the wall, and his scrotum is through it, so his balls hang out on the other side. And they just happen to be at the center (bullseye) of a target painted on the wall.

What he sees is a gal with a slingshot, and a supply of projectiles. They're about marble sized, but marbles can be had in many sizes. Some might be unfired (but dried) clay and made of smaller spheres of clay set together so they make something of a cloud when they hit, if they hit the wall. Of course, she's not aiming for the wall.

A gal? Maybe just the one. Or maybe she has a friend. Or several.

This works from his point of view (or behind), her/their point of view (or behind), or off to the side. About to make the first shot? Has he been hit a few times? Is she (or are they) 'walking' fire towards the targets... letting tension build yet more? Or is it about to be the Grande Finale as they know their aim point(s) just so and it's full-on firing squad?

You need a lift to the range? And want me to stay and witness your marksmanship? As you wish.

Rest, relaxation, relief of pressure - by transference.

Imagine a gal resting (or maybe more than resting...) in a hammock. Only this hammock isn't supported by a couple well-spaced trees or properly placed posts. Not the usual sort of posts, anyway. There are additions. The end of the hammock are arranged around some fellows testicles (one guy? two? four?) so that the weight of the occupant(s) of the hammock exert pressure. What's relaxing for her, is painful pressure for him.

It's best not to comment on a woman's weight, you know.

Behold! Hammock
