@dernicolas nice

@sheepfilms this is brilliant and/or it will haunt my nightmares! Amazing work.

"In a kink context, I love brattiness because it signifies enthusiastic consent. It’s the “more, please!” of pre-kinky-fuck flirtation."

@SymTrkl so so much this! As a writer, I hear ‘I could never’ a lot and it makes me sad. Everyone can use words, everyone has stories they can tell. The biggest differences between them and me are practice, and a drive to do it.

Maybe we could kiss in the abandoned Welsh village

Swansea man's surprise after finding abandoned Welsh village

The reason it was abandoned remains a mystery with the local council and developer tight-lipped.

@mattjohns I don't need advice thank you. I flatter myself that I know at least a little bit about navigating the internet.

No, YouTube. This is the opposite of what I want.

When YouTube says 'this is not available in your country' it should also list the countries where it *is* available, so I know which one to set my VPN to.

@Mactonex on his BIRTHDAY oh god thanks for that detail. Lol.

@NotTheLBCGuy @benh extremely well put holy shit

@Cougar oh yeah for sure. I particularly like the bit in their statement which says they are carrying out further searches at his addresses. I think my frustration comes from the fact that for so long, 'survivor testimony' has been written off as 'obviously not good enough evidence'. I would like to live in a world where survivor testimony - especially of the detail and magnitude we see in the Epstein files - is good enough for arrest, at least.

- Create a safe space to fantasise
- Clear the decks
- Think like a nerd
- Start viewing sex as a hobby

This time last year, I dispensed a bunch of tips on how to keep having fun #sex in a long-term #relationship. I stand by 'em all.

How do I keep having fun sex in a long-term relationship? | Girl on the Net

Some think sex inevitably dies after a few years, but it doesn't have to be that way. You can have fun sex in a long-term relationship. Here's how.

@benh only if we completely ignore the testimony of survivors!

First thought: Wow, a powerful man is going to see some CONSEQUENCES???

Second thought: Why the fuck is 'misconduct in public office' a priority but 'sexual assault of girls' was not?

Police asking Andrew's protection officers what 'they saw or heard' as part of Epstein files review

The Metropolitan Police says officers have been asked to consider whether anything "they saw or heard during that period of service may be relevant to our ongoing reviews".

@screwturn yes, read and share their work! You probably have readers who'd like to read work from others too, so make sure you keep boosting + sharing other people!

@SymTrkl ah thank you! This is lovely to hear! I promise I wasn't looking for cookies but I appreciate that - and THANK YOU for your incredible contributions Every new story told makes the site so much richer, and I am bowled over by the brilliant things people share!

@SymTrkl exactly this. It's not something you award yourself, but a challenge you issue to yourself. It frustrates me when people talk about what great allies they are. That time could be better spent... actually doing The Thing.

Also I had no idea JKR claimed to be an ally. The depth of her delusion holy shit!

I am not the best at doing this, by any stretch. But I have a platform and I want to share it.

If you think you're underrepresented in the sex space, and you'd like a platform (and payment) to discuss that, or just tell a story that you think most people don't get to hear, pitch me.

Guest blogs | Girl on the Net

If you want to write a guest blog, that would be bloody lovely. Guest blogs in the past have included such diverse topics as foot fetishes, sex work, first time sex, and how difficult it is to chat up that beautiful person who makes your cappuccino in Starbucks. I am primarily interested in first-person sex […]

I try to actively reach out to people too, but I have less time to do that these days cos of Bonus Job. I do try to read all pitches and respond to everyone tho.

Having a bitch about a public figure who is very loud about what a great ally they are to a particular marginalised group, but I have rarely (never?) seen them give their platform/space to someone from this group. Allies, ask yourselves:

- What practical steps do you take to PLATFORM marginalised ppl? When do you step out of the limelight and usher someone else in?

- Whose work are you not just regurgitating, but sharing?

Don't speak *over* or *for* someone, hand them your microphone!
