i feel like "feminist" anti-kink sentiment is very tail-wagging-the-dog. like male doms playing out bdsm scenes of abuse are not oppressing their female subs that's acting. you're mad at acting. you're those aliens from galaxy quest. same with fearmongering about "booktok". however an eroticized version of patriarchal dynamics being a popular kink DOES speak to the pervasiveness of sexism, bc eroticizing the oppression is a way of coping with living under it. it's women creating a fantasy world where men being menacing to them is sexy and not scary like it is irl, or where it is still scary but in the fun way like a horror movie bc you can tap out at any time by using a safe word or putting the book down. acting like this sort of kink is oppressing women is like if you assumed the thermometer controlled the weather outside. it might be depressing to look at the thermometer and see the impact of climate change, but it's not the thermometer's fault

Nutly the Squirrel and National Teddy Bear Day!

I was planning to tell you about Nutly today because he's a squirrel, and when I think of fall (which it's not technically yet, but is coming up fast) I think of squirrels gathering nuts. And then I found out that today is National Teddy Bear Day! So, first, Happy National Teddy Bear Day from me and my teddy bear to you and all of yours (and all the other stuffies too!).

Ok, now on to the preplanned fall story of Nutly, who belongs to one of you kind people... and arrived at the hospital with her own teddy bear!. :-)

Nutly's person wrote back in April. Here is a partial excerpt of her first email, titled "Just putting out feelers".

"..since I'm not sure if I'm ready to do this just yet, or when I will be.

Nutly is a 9" stuffed squirrel who I've had since 1997 and may very well be my soul living outside of my body. Unfortunately, I have loved her to the point where I wanted to ask about your services so I can continue to sleep with her every night without worrying about her long-term prospects. Her neck is really thin and she has had a hair scrunchie around it, like some sort of Elizabethan ruff, to make sure it stays straight and stable. Luckily no flopping yet. The scarf was a jaunty later addition that constantly needs retying (we joke that she likes to remove it for attention). 

Plus she badly needs cleaning. Sadly my mom put her through the washing machine a few times when I was younger, but I said 'nope never again' and the upshot is she hasn't been bathed in over 20 years at this point. You could be forgiven for not realizing her muzzle used to be white. I tried to gently remove some of the dark stuff around her muzzle seams, and the fur underneath was yellowed, so I stopped.

I also genuinely don't know what to do about her nose. It used to be pleather. I think it's now mostly superglue.

I'm sure you hear this from everyone who writes you, but I'm getting really emotional even thinking about sending her away. I genuinely don't think I'm ready right now. But I thought talking to you, and coming up with a plan, might help me become ready.

And here are some of Nutly's diagnosis photos, along with a younger similar squirrel for comparison:

So, you can see Nutly was pretty worn in some areas, and had some nose issues, and wanted a spa. It took a bit, but we (Nutly, her person, and I) eventually scheduled her for a summer appointment, and agreed we'd take her treatment step by step. The first step would be a spa and lining. All of her original stuffing would be saved outside of her repaired body, and returned to her person for sentimental purposes. She was quite cozy when she arrived at the hospital (with her own teddy bear!):

Here she is in her bubble bath:

and here's her heart being made and installed with a bit of her original stuffing once she was lined:

Next was redoing her nose and her first chubbiness check:

Here is her buddy, checking up on her progress from home:

And here's her chubbiness adjusted:

With that approved, her person decided it would be ok to go ahead with transplants for bald spots. She selected a furry fleece, and here's Nutly after that treatment:

At this point her person wrote: She looks beautiful. I'm so happy. I wish I could reach out and give her a huge hug.

You'll note her tail was still bald. That would require a much longer ply fur. Here she is, all better!

I like the top down photo because you can really see how fluffy her tail is! Note her white area didn't get any treatment other than the spa, because the balding wasn't structural and we didn't want to change her expression. Her person wrote: SHE IS PERFECT and yes, I absolutely approve! I wasn't expecting this so soon and I'm delighted.

Nutly flew home and in addition to a very nice note from her person, Nutly sent this note:

Hi Dr. Beth! I had a really fun time at the hospital. You took such good care of me and it made me feel special. I also feel really fat, like I gathered just enough nuts for winter. Plus my tail is super fluffy and I forgot what that was like. I'm back home and ready to climb on stuff again and sit on the bed with Bailey watching birds on the telephone wire outside the window and dreaming about climbing trees. T cried a little when she held me. I don't know if she wanted me to say that… but it's too late! I love her so much and I'm full of glee and happiness and joy now that I'm home. Say hi to all the other animals for me! Bye!

And here's Nutly at home with her friend Bailey Bunny (who has an appointment to come to the hospital shortly for a spa. :-)

New 'Bootcamp' boyband.

According to sources a new boyband has been formed at Bootcamp with 5 solo contestants thought to be more promising as a group.

The boyband made up of auditionees: Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik

(Liam being one of this years re-auditonee’s) The boyband are yet unamed.

Previous groups formed at Bootcamp have usually been doomed from the start and although usually making it through to the live shows don’t go much further. Futureproof, Hope and Miss Frank to name the most well known,

Oh, you think it's "adorable" that I fell asleep on your lap? Well, it's a mark of my utter contempt. That's how little I fear you.

I have no idea how to title this

like seriously, how do i describe this

[noraora]

tl;dr if everyone is guilty, big brother longer needs to differentiate between slave and free man when meting out punishment

(in case anyone needs an example/breakdown to illustrate the current problem)
