Should the economy be regulated by a democratic society to ensure that it creates opportunity and benefit for everyone? Or should it be a plaything for approximately a dozen of the world's most odious assholes? Who knows

slight tangent but worth noting the best (and most brutal) doms i’ve known are primarily subs. they can go hard because they know how to do it the right way!! obviously it’s far better to be a timid dom than a dom who doesn’t respect consent, but it is possible to be confident and also respectful!!

plus when you negotiate and prepare and make sure everyone’s on the same page and plan to take care of the sub afterwards, you can actually have a much more intense scene - and leave feeling good about it

πŸ’―!! bottoming makes you a better top!! doing something to another person that you’ve never experienced yourself means there is a level on which you simply do not understand what you’re doing

when i tell you β€œif you want me to sub, you have to earn it,” and you respond β€œI don’t have to earn anything faggot,” you are the weakest piece of shit on this earth

(yes obviously he was white and had a faceless profile, please see above re: pussy)

obviously everybody gets to do what they want, nobody is required to do anything sexually, and if you find people you’re compatible with (there are lots of full-time subs out there), bless up.

BUT

what’s your toxic masculine trait? mine is that i think any dom who’s unwilling to risk receiving the things he dishes out is a pussy

(this is the only instance i will ever use the word pussy as a pejorative, a pussy is much sturdier than testicles)

not if we destroy them first

remember kids, when eating the ruling class during a revolution, make sure you dress them with plenty of salt and acid to cut the richness

My play Basically Children is having a reading with Refracted Theatre Co in Chicago next weekend. (Also next weekend, my brother's getting married, so I'll be there instead.) BUT - if you want to check out a play about Gen Z queer politics, age gap relationships, and amateur pedophile hunters...

sorry took me so long to respond, your text hung over me like a guillotine, growing like a tumor inside my messages, until the guilt became so unbearable i simply had to respond if only to relieve myself of the prison of your text, so yeah what’s up, how u doing?

to lead a healthy life you must keep the four humors in balance (alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, cannabis)

My favorite thing about Elon Musk is that he proves money can't buy happiness. Or class, intelligence, friendship, love, purpose, grace, a sense of humor, a clue, taste, likability, expertise, empathy, enlightenment, compassion, respect, morals or whatever is the opposite of profound creepiness
