The auto bot is totally fucked up, agreed. No rhyme or reason whatsoever. And not likely to change anytime soon. The operating system on Blue isn't user friendly, imo. Not currently. Hopefully this will evolve once it's passed this "beta" stage. We shall see. I still prefer posting here than META.

I've found that the appeals system has worked very well for me in changing the Adult Content tag. I continue to appeal and eventually the tag does get changed. 1,000 plus images posted and very few are mislabeled now. In my personal experience it takes time and patience to change the auto bot. 👍

"Genitalia are just sexual."
Au contraire. Genitalia have been sexualized via various genres in our society.

I built a life long career where the viewing of genitalia was sensuality/eroticism vs sexuality. I defy anyone to prove otherwise

well, perhaps if you give him a treat and pet him, he'll let you! 😉

Exxxotica Miami '25 is done. Glad I helped @violetvoss.bsky.social with her meet & greet booth! Violet Brandini stopped by to say "hi".

Without wheel chair service, I'd never have been able to handle walking in both airports coming home. It's obvious a hospital visit for a transfusion is needed. 🫩😱

Nicely done by both, kudos! Proof positive that a spread pose can readily remain artistic! 👍

Almost

Agreed! But 97% of the finished images are attributed to her skills and posing mastery. I simply scrambled to keep up, and could recognize the potential in the raw images.

I always like seeing the work created by models I've shot & admire done with photographers whose work I admire. Their creative endeavors. Never understood the mindset of togs who try to keep specific models to themselves or won't credit them. That helps the industry--how? I prefer networking! 👍

Thank you for your kind comment Scott---and all the "likes". When the positive feedback is coming from fellow creatives whose work I've admired for years, it means a lot to me! And is appreciated! 👍

Nicely done by all buddy! Kudos! 👍

Nicely done by both! Gotta love shooting with Elena! 👍

Plus, with models with this skill you always get a higher quantity of quality images! 👍

In spite of my current health situation,I jumped at the chance to work for my lovely friend in any capacity needed. I'll just pace myself as much as possible and "gitterdun"!

Hopefully I'll be able to edit the #MalenaMorgan content asap! 🤞

I'm going to be in the Miami area from the afternoon of the 25th through the morning of the 30th assisting @violetvoss.bsky.social. She's working XXXotica, but has some free time. Write her directly for any booking inquiries. Most of my time will be devoted to working for her! Stop by & say "Hi!" 👋

Happens to alot of us. Why I try to avoid posting on any META site any longer. 👍

We lost because we couldn't convince enough potential voters to vote. Less than 1/3rd of the voters voted for Trump. Less than 1/3rd voted for Harris. The biggest voting block didn't vote at all, and the Democratic leadership is to blame for this massive fuck up!

Fab lighting. Proof positive that a "spread pose" does NOT necessarily connotate sexuality!

Kudos to both! Very nicely done! 👍

It's Fascism 101 as taught originally by Herr Goebbels. Silence the intelligensia opposition.

My point is, no one leaves their country if things are great. The doors were open for our ancestors, hence us.Who are we to deny others the same opportunities we've benefitted from if they'll also contribute positively? The vast majority do contribute to our society, not just the white Africanners!😉

They weren't Indians, here thousands of yrs before any white immigrants showed up, & were genocided almost out of existence for their land. They weren't black, providing free labor for 250 years. They assimilated because they could relatively easily. I'm for today's legal immigrants. They're needed.

My mom's mom, Betty, and her newly emigrated family from Hungary, in circa 1908. That'd be my Grandmother, Great Grandmother, and Great Great Grandmother off the boat & through Ellis Island. Zero threat of a border patrol or Homeland Security.

Unless you're Indian, we all come from somewhere!
👏🙌🙏👍

The volume of choices does help substantially. As I've stated, forever, about my talents, "even a blind squirrel will find the occasional nut."

And I freely admit I'm quite partial to my nuts!
😉

Thx Ed! Every now and then I'll nail some good ones! Wish it was consistent! 😉

It's also that I shot porn for a living. One might assume that I have a pretty good idea where that hazy line is, for the most part. None of these edits were sexual, though I could have readily edited them that way and placed into an adult set for the fapsters. I did just this daily for 30+ yrs.
😉

Bluesky Social media as it should be. Find your community among millions of users, unleash your creativity, and have some fun again.

Thx Josue! bsky.social seems to agree as they changed the tag from Adult Content to Nudity-Non Sexual! Thx! A reasonable Mod Team! They beat the hell out of META!
And why I post here!
👍

And I yours, sir. Jeeeeze, I can STILL remember the fierce debate in the Mayhem threads "that it wasn't art unless the model had a full bush, no tats, and the edit done in black and white."

For real.😱

Even in the artistic community there exists a percentage of morons-- they're called critics!
😉

I will attest to my dying day that a spread pose does NOT immediately connotate porn. Context is the final determination, not necessarily what is viewed. Normalize the pose with creativity. Women have vulvas. It makes them women!

No more, no less!
👌👍💯💥
