FeturaX / Furrjoi have been advertising their new breathplay toys. DO NOT combine their masks with a bubbler bottle as shown in these ads. It will kill you.

This is not a "breathplay is unsafe" post. It's a "this is bad engineering" post.

The issue is that FeturaX hoods do not have one-way exhaust valves. Gas masks contain a valve that allow you to breath out easily, without going through the same port you inhale from. They're a part that needs to be manufactured separately and glued into place, which FeturaX doesn't do. Instead, FeturaX hoods either have full openings for breathing or, in the case of the pool toy line, no openings at all. In the hoods that appear to have exhaust valves, these are actually non-functioning sculpted decorative details.

A bubbler bottle works by placing your only source of air on the other side of a shallow pool of water. In order to breath, you have to inhale with enough force to create a negative pressure area in the top of the bubbler, which then causes air from the outside to be sucked in to fill the void, filtering through the water. This is possible because gas masks have that one-way valve, so breathing normally will eventually drain the system of air.

(Yes, it is the same mechanism ashow a bong works. Stop giggling, you in the back.)

Without an exhaust valve, the carbon dioxide you exhale will instead be trapped in the bubbler bottle and the hose connecting it to your mask. The buildup of C02 will prevent fresh air from entering the system, until the air you're breathing doesn't contain enough oxygen to support you. Then hypoxia sets in, and hopefully your partner is able to pull the quick release in time to save your life.

The FeturaX breathplay setups also lack a quick release.

I've publicly reached out to FeturaX on social media, explaining this flaw. Their representative informed me their breathplay toys were working as designed, and that the form of breathplay they support was slowly draining the oxygen in the bottle, resulting in "slight suffocation".

This is ludicrously unsafe, even by my RACK standards. Do not purchase this gear.

If I Gave Anger Its Voice

You tried to snuff out my joy. Even now, you are still coming for me. But I kissed a man so passionately I forgot about you for a few hours. I could taste myself on his lips. We laid together just to feel each other breathe. He felt my heart racing, but he fell asleep against it anyway. And it was beautiful because it was ours. Because I was who I was always meant to be. Because he was who he was always meant to be. I left you at the doorstep to his apartment. I left you in the last century. I'm who I always was, and I'm loving it.

The reason why Dean is so often misrepresented is really so simple in context.

People forget about a thing called Righteous Anger. And Righteous Anger only ever comes from Love.

Dean Winchester’s anger almost exclusively exists for righteousness’ sake.

Dean Winchester is the most loving human being.

FOR ALL MY FELLOW ANGRY WOMEN OUT THERE:

We have countless reasons to be angry, I know. The term "female rage" was coined for a reason. Righteous anger is a powerful thing, a catalyst for change, and the world would be a lot worse without it. But it can eat you alive from the inside sometimes.

Don't forget to take care of your own private life. Take some time to heal and nourish yourself and your loved ones. Don't let injustice and evil destroy your will to live a fulfilling life and be the light you want to see in the world.

Your mental health and sanity need to be preserved if you want to tangibly make a difference for those around you. Sometimes, that difference is just being authentic in ways that defy the patriarchal, capitalist norm. Embrace your natural body, reject beauty standards, boycott evil corporations, take care of local wildlife, protest irl. Do what's morally right, by all means. But don't waste your precious time online engaging in pointless debates about it with people you'll never meet.

The women in your life see you. You may not realize it, but your authenticity and happiness can be enough to inspire a little girl to grow up into their own best version. Or maybe, an older woman might find her own joy again through you.

Unapologetically loving yourself, being happy and living a life you love in the face of a system that wants to break your spirit and make you a soulless machine is more impactful and sustainable than wasting away in the rage and disgust rabbit-hole of online activism.

The internet harms us more than it benefits us. In its current format, it's designed to keep us outraged, overwhelmed and overstimulated. Too exhausted to live our own lives, bc the horrors of the world need our constant attention. To invest so much time and energy in such a dangerous environment for the sake of activism is counterproductive.

The expectation that women need to be seen constantly performing activism is rooted in the misogynistic idea that you, as a woman, need to carry the burden of emotional labor and community maintenance for everyone, in detriment of your own self-care. Let go of that burden. Save your energy for yourself and the women in your life.

Log tf off. Breathe. Drink some water. Spend time in nature. Go do something that actually fulfills you. I promise it won't make you a bad person, or a fake activist. You're human and you deserve to be happy, healthy and at peace. Don't let the world take that from you.

The thing about anger—especially righteous anger—is how addictive it is. I didn't want to let go of it. I didn't want to calm down. I wanted to be furious . . .
