Hey you. Yes, come here for a moment.

Let me tell you the most overlooked tip for fingering a girl.

Put the two fingers you would most likely use to finger a girl inside your mouth, now press the tips of your fingers against the inside of your cheek and drag them against it.

Did you go "But my nails look dirty and/or look they would hurt" before you even out them inside your mouth? Did it hurt when you dragged them against the inside of your cheek?

Clip them, file them down to get rid of any raged edges and clean them.

That's it. That's the tip.

The Stunning Astronomical Beadwork of Native Artist Margaret Nazon

Margaret Nazon has spent the past decade building intricate beadwork depictions of outer space. The colorful artworks balance representational and stylized aesthetics set on black fabric backgrounds to depict galaxies, planets, nebulae, and other astronomical phenomena.

Initially inspired by Hubble space telescope images, Nazon’s celestial renderings are part of a lifelong interest in beading. In an interview with Glenbow, the artist shared that she began beading at age 10, but found the density of traditional beadwork to be tedious.

The abstract nature of celestial images allows Nazon to be more interpretive and incorporate different materials like caribou bones and willow seeds that have location-specific or cultural significance. Nazon is Tsiigehtchic, part of the Gwich’in community in what is now the Northwest Territories of Canada. The artist explained that because she is retired, she is able to dedicate significant time to beading, and often rises at 4:30am to begin working. Nazon plans to continue experimenting, including merging her abstract beadwork with her seamstress skills to create artfully embellished apparel.

Nazon’s artwork was most recently exhibited at Glenbow in a group show, Cosmos, and A Beaded Universe at Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre. You can read more about her in the Glenbow interview, and explore Nazon’s portfolio on her website.

“We’re seeing the arson of our government,” warned Max Stier of Partnership for Public Service, which has been tracking people's lost jobs since January.

WASHINGTON – More than 199,000 federal workers have left their jobs or have been forced out by the Trump administration since January 2025, according to an alarming new analysis by Partnership for Public Service, a nonprofit focused on better government.

That’s nearly 10% of the entire federal civilian workforce, which was composed of about 2.3 million employees at the start of the year.

it’s almost time to move!!

since my last post got nuked, i’m posting this again. for close to a year now i’ve been living in a small single bedroom in a family member’s house, with all of my pets (6 rats, one cat, one dog) and my partner, unable to afford my medication. it’s not an ideal situation, and none of us have been doing well! thankfully we have finally been approved for a beautiful home for rent with a yard for my dog. however, we live several states away (moving for a lower cost of living), and this will be a big undertaking for my family, especially given that it’s been hit after hit and i haven’t been able to put much away. i am NOT asking for donations (thank you for thinking of me!!) but i am trying to raise funds as much as I can at this time. my move in date is Sept 8th, so i am short on time and funds!

TLDR: My life imploded this year, in large part due to a lack of jobs because of my Envirosci degree in the Trump presidency (also being trans…). I’m getting back on my feet now, but a helping hand would make life easier.

my KOFI is where you can request bird posts (I believe the minimum payment is $3). just include in your message whether you’d like a specific species of bird covered by me (check my blog to see if I’ve posted them before), or a bird related topic (think: conservation stories, extinction events, feather structure, etc. it may admittedly take several weeks to complete your post, as im going through a lot at this time, but it WILL happen!

my MERCARI is where you can buy stuff! granted it’s pretty limited as my stuff is mostly in a storage unit but it’s mostly odds and ends, plushies, and vulture culture stuff/oddities.

my TOYHOU.SE is where I sell character designs, especially Warrior Cats!

thank you for all of your ongoing support <3 i believe after this, I’ll hopefully be…okay-ish, in the mess that the world is right now.

(^ baby spence ^ )

(guy who isnt beating the ocd voice) i know! maybe if i spend all night ruminating on something i feel guilty about until i’ve considered it from every possible angle and made myself physically ill, then i can finally forgive myself and i’ll feel better! 99% of morally abhorrent people stop self punishing right before they’re Absolved

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

My therapist, who specializes in adults with ADHD, recently told me that all of her clients need a three day crashout period after a big life change. Finish the semester? Crashout. Change jobs? Crashout. Go on a really cool, really relaxing vacation? Crashout the moment you get home.

It's true of literally all of her clients. She works with a lot of them to put systems in place so that their crashouts are only three days. This includes the high-powered execs who travel regularly for work. It does not matter how successful or high functioning they are - they have ADHD, and a crashout is just part of the process of living with it.

I'm sharing this with all you ADHD friends out there, just in case you (like me) start shaming yourself if your crashout lasts more than one day. It turns out three days is kind of the best case scenario. Be kind to yourselves!

I often see posts talking about the wiping out of bison without mentioning that the bison were wiped out as an act of genocide against Natives.

It makes me want to shake someone.

You can't separate the history of bison from the history of anti Native racism.

I’m gonna talk about the Fuegian dog.

The Fuegian “dog” is the third, forgotten type of domesticated canid, behind the domestic dog and domesticated red foxes. For you see, the Fuegian dog was domesticated from the culpeo (Lycalopex culpaeus). They’re good dogs, Brent:

The Fuegian dog was domesticated by the people of Tierra del Fuego (reports differ regarding whether it was the Yaghan or the Selk’nam people who domesticated them. Could have been both). According to accounts, they would have looked more or less like what you’d expect from a domesticated culpeo: roughly coyote-sized and long-snouted, with pointy upright ears and a long fluffy tail. One report even claims they had webbed feet. Reported colorations range from tawny to gray to white, with patches of black, tan, or white. It apparently barked.

European colonizers did not think highly of the dogs. A French captain in 1883 described it as “ugly […] it looks quite like the fox”. They were noted to be important to Fuegian peoples. Some European reports claim they were affectionate and protective of their masters; others claim they were not particularly loyal when their masters were in danger. They were noted to be used for warmth and hunting otters, and I bet there were more uses the Europeans didn’t notice or write down.

At some point between 1895 and 1919, they were exterminated because the Europeans were scared of them-I mean, “they were a threat to men and cattle”. This would be shortly followed by a genocide of the indigenous people of Tierra del Fuego. There are surviving photos of Selk’nam with dogs, but to me they look more like introduced European dogs.

As of today, only two stuffed specimens of the Fuegian dog remain. Because of this, visiting Punta Arenas and seeing one in person is on my bucket list.

And that’s basically everything that’s known about them.

I'm gonna be real with you, i don't think weirdo kinksters should be considered acceptable collateral damage when banks/credit card companies enforce adult content bans on sites like patreon and ko-fi
