why won't you conform why won't you just conform if you don't conform you'll be hurt you'll be sad you'll be alone why won't you conform don't you want to be accepted don't you want to be part of the norm I had to conform my parents had to conform you have to conform if you don't conform it means I didn't actually have to conform it means the rules are fake why won't you conform the rules are real because I enforce them I will hurt you I will make you sorry why won't you just conform you should do it for me you should do it so I don't feel uncomfortable so I don't have to think so I don't have to question what I did to myself what I did to others pursuing this norm that I want to be absolute why won't you conform your difference is so loud it's an attack on who I am you are hurting me you are hurting me no matter what I do you just won't be normal you just won't act normal can’t you just repress who you are forever for my convenience you have to do it for me just for me your existence is unbearable to me why won't you just shut up why won't you just disappear why won't you just die why won't you just die just die

I think a lot of the people coming to our events don’t understand that they aren’t yet part of the leather scene

it’s not just kink

it’s not just an aesthetic

it’s not just a party at a bar you show up to once a month

leather is a distinct culture & it’s highly community based

if you aren’t showing in solidarity for our local Onyx chapter or our bootblack guild, learning our history and talking to our elders, talking to the leather folks who are different from you, or showing any interest in engaging in community outside wearing your doc martens & amazon dot com bulldog harness to a bar to play pool (with the friends you came with), sorry babes but that’s not leather!!

don’t show up to our space and be disrespectful to fat butches, trans women, and bipoc leather folks. I can see when you are only talking to other skinny white people.

don’t show up to our space and side eye the leathermen at the leatherdyke event who have been allies to us, even when we weren’t in the room. we personally invited them, you just saw a flyer on the internet.

don’t show up to our space if you don’t want to learn and do the work outside the bar. it’s not cute to be incurious about the community whose event you are entering.

we vet for a reason, we are watching the new folks.

I don’t want to see our culture get diluted because we created more visible entry points.

Sex is great but have you considered hitting me as hard as you can

Sleep well Marjane Satrapi. You were a huge influence on me and my work in a way that cannot be understated. You will be missed but your work will carry on for generations to come

Minnesota’s Giant Rainbow and Leather Pride Flags

June 28, 1998. Both flags measured approximately 50 feet wide and 75 feet long.

[ryuutchi]

Friendly reminder that the leather flag predates almost every other flag. We owe this community to leather daddies and kinksters

[nightmarechamillian]

In the era of corporate sanitization never forget it was leather daddies and S&M folks who protected some of the earliest pride parades.
