the butchfemme blueprint

[thebutchmessiah]

Re the UK heat wave: I think it would be super hot (...figuratively speaking) if you'd tell us your non-horny feelings about climate change/crisis (but it's okay if, for whatever reason, you'd rather not, obvi)

tbh my main feelings about this are very much an impending sense of doom which I know is a feeling i’m not alone in. It’s very easy to feel helpless when you know you can do everything you can and it makes very little difference compared to how much big corporations are actively ruining the world.

Not gonna go too much into it because I don’t have anything fun and exciting to say that people with far more knowledge about the subject than me aren’t already saying but at the very least i guess this is to say that whilst it all is very helpless, for the love of god can people stop using gen AI for everything because there’s definitely a correlation about the intensity and frequency of current heatwaves compared to past years and AI becoming free for public use. Use your brain, make some friends, or maybe just get a life instead of chatting to fucking chat GPT x

butch jesus christ, for your consideration

[thebutchmessiah]

The UK might be unbearably hot right now but it meant that last night my butch wore an oversized tank top and her biceps were in full glory and her ‘Butch’ tattoo on her ribs was on show and it made me think that maybe climate change isn’t that bad of a thing after all….

Your leather content is so, so fucking hot. I want to be able to look like this and learn more about this. Where do you get leather like this? How does one leather like this? How do I learn more about this subculture? Also I would love to DM and ask more questions if you’d be open to it but didn’t know if your blog was open to DMs and was too shy to do a non-anonymous ask 😭😭😭

Thank you!

I bought my first ever leather jacket from a vintage shop and it’s definitely what i’d recommend if you’re trying to find one. Try different ones on, feel the leather in your hands, and you’ll know when you find *your* jacket. I also buy lots secondhand online, try websites like vinted - you can find stuff really cheap on there. Secondhand leather often needs a little tlc when you buy it but it’s worth taking the time with.

Leather straps, restraints etc it’s a bit pricey but I really recommend Primal Leather, I’ve got quite a few pieces from them and they’re beautiful. There’s likely leather workers in your city or at local markets you can buy from who may be a little more affordable but ultimately leather is an investment and it’s never going to be dirt cheap when you’re buying new.

In terms of learning about the subculture, I am definitely not the person to do that from. I saw this great post from Seattle Leatherdykes on instagram yesterday which would be a really good starting point in terms of learning more: https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ0Zc8smWcp/?igsh=N3RmbTE1ajhtc3d1.

Happy for you to reach out over DM and I’ll reply (unless you just say hi or if be weird - i don’t reply to these) and do whatever I can to help, but as i said, I’m definitely not the most experienced leatherdyke or best person to learn from!

looks like i’ve breached containment and some women are finding the need to post transphobia on my page again but honestly if you see it, just block and move on instead of giving them even more airtime because what the fuck is going on

and to anyone who feels the need to post something shitty on one of my posts - there’s absolutely nothing radical about shitting on a bunch of dykes having a good time lmao, sorry that our inclusivity means we have more fun than you do but maybe go stew about that in a corner rather than doing something that just makes you look like a killjoy and in all honesty, a bit of a cunt x

so embarrassing to have a body that decides to take you back in time at the most inconvenient of times and will not accept the fact that you’re safe now

I believe that the world’s problems can be solved in the bedroom. … S&M is a liberating game; it liberates both man and woman, butch and femme without necessarily taking their chosen roles away from they (if they still want to keep them once they understand the game). S&M teaches you that both sides have the power and how they can use it to their best advantage. —Rosenjoy, in GCN, 1976

Favourite type of cabbage?

I always gravitate towards red cabbage just because it’s more fun

I don’t know if i’m just paranoid but why do i feel like this is a trick question / i’m missing something here….
