“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.

My question is, what do the weird anti-kink people do when they discover they have a kink

do they just like

pretend everyone else likes feet or hair or McDonald’s playplace mascot statues or whatever exactly as much as they do

Or is it more of a Catholic denial-of-the-self sort of thing

[ebonyheartnet]

Both. They 100% do both.

[thebibliosphere]

They also 100% find new ways to normalize it and make it "not weird."

That's why we're seeing a surge of trad-wives wearing "day collars" and explaining what it means to their viewers on TikTok, but instead of explaining that it's a practice followed by some people who enjoy BDSM with a very established meaning and understood dynamic within the BDSM community, they've rationalized it as "an additional signifier of godliness and commitment (read: submissive) to their husbands."

What these people want is a 24/7 D/s, possibly master/slave dynamic, but with none of the etiquette or safety protocols the BDSM community has spent decades cultivating.

So they'll wear a day collar and proudly proclaim themselves godly but spit the word "freak" at anyone who has consenting vanilla sex with their queer partner.

[yeomanslog]

Can you tell us the bdsm tailor tho. Always down for pretty collars

[thebibliosphere]

Mr.PierreFashion on TikTok and Insta.

Their cuffs can also double as collars.

The collar I was referring to is the Switch necklace by Jillibean. But the rainbow stitching finish on the leather day collar is *cheff kiss* stunning.

THE TRADHETS ARE DOING WHAT NOW

I feel like the words, “sorry you found out this way,” should come out of my mouth, so, yeah. Sorry.

immortalizing these tags

[internetkatze]

When me and my brother were toddlers and we spilled anything liquid, my mom would singsong, "[Name] Valdez! [Name] Valdez!"

Eventually, as we grew up, this morphed into just saying "Valdez!" whenever we spilled something. As far as I was concerned "Valdez" was just a word for "oops!" specifically in this context.

It wasn't until I was probably a teenager that I discovered she was referencing the Exxon Valdez oil spill of 1989.

friends, if I can give you one piece of advice for those of you who are new to work, or are about to enter the workforce, especially if you have any sort of office job:

Do not work on your days off.

"But--"

DO NOT WORK ON YOUR DAYS OFF.

[theprofessional-amateur]

Do not work on your breaks

Do not “answer a few emails” on your vacation

Do not work off the clock

Doing this doesn’t reward you with more money or whatever. It rewards you with more work.
