Happy International BDSM Day! This global celebration honors kink culture, sexual expression, and the vibrant BDSM community. The observance was founded in 2003 by Kurt Walter Fisher, a Swiss kink advocate who opened Europe’s first BDSM club. He chose 7/24 as a nod to “24/7” kink lifestyles! (🪡🧵)

I originally got bluesky for research content but this is officially an Elaida hate account now #wotskies #wotseason3

Cannot stop thinking about #wheeloftime... this series has me in a chokehold

I would very much like to see a change I'm the UK as well

I remember watching this when it was coming out weekly and I was fully convinced I was going insane. Think I have still have the nail marks from how aggressively I was grabbing my cheeks in stress 😂

Nosferatu ended up being pretty enjoyable! Definitely think some actors were on the weaker side but Willam Dafoe proved particularly entertaining. As a fan of all things vampiric there was a lot to enjoy!

yeah so non-consensual bdsm is actually called rape

This is really helpful. Thank you!

I get that. I'm likely in the same boat as you, really enjoy vampire content generally so I suspect I will enjoy it on some level regardless!

Been far too hyped for this, so hopefully this is the warning i needed to moderate my excitement enough to be not disappointed!

I am always willing to learn and improve and take on criticism especially where it helps communities feel safe.

That's teaching finished for the semester. Time for some for uninterrupted PhD work, and of course, some good quality rest before January

Oh, that's really helpful context and just generally pleasant to know!

I've heard rumours that might be changing with a substantial swing to the right. How accurate would that be?

OMG. While we're on the subject of bike lanes, someday when Ford is long gone and we're still mocking him for being such a complete wanker, could we have these? Pretty please??

So much interesting stuff here

First call for participants here:

#WorldAIDSDay is not just about sex education and sexual health, but also about justice and rights. For that reason we mark it on December 1st every year and make noise about it. It’s an important act of solidarity.

Absolutely, it can be a great tool and telling them to not use it at all is never going to happen. But it can be great to enhance learning when used correctly.

We've also been implementing more of this as well. It can be really nice seeing more of the students' creativity and unique approaches to problem solving. Awesome to see new and different approaches to the problem, AI isn't going anywhere so it's important that we tackle it ☺️

I think diversity of assessment is really important even from non-AI perspectives. I hate doing exams but I know plenty of people who thrive in them. Every student deserves a chance to shine in a mode of assessment that works for them. AI is a good excuse to bring alternative assesments back though.

I feel this, bluesky seems a particularly good way to connect with other academics, but I don't want to miss out on the other aspects of social media - sometimes I just want to nerd out on my hyperfixations without it seeming 'unprofessional' and I don't really want to run separate accounts either.

❗️Final call to participate❗️

Mine and @bethanyjcliffe.bsky.social’s study on UK doctoral student experiences of self-relevant #mentalhealthresearch is closing at the end of this week! This means you have 4️⃣ more days to take part 👉 uniofbath.questionpro.eu/doctoral-sel...

#PhDSky #PsychSciSky

Thank you so much! 😊

Definitely feel my transition to post-positivism blooming into full form. I really like quant research but doing interviews was a joy a big highlight of the PhD for me (so far)

Mistrust and missed opportunities: BDSM practitioner experiences in healthcare AbstractBackground. Stigma and discrimination have been shown to be significant barriers to healthcare utilization and provider trust among sexual minority

Stigma and discrimination are significant barriers to healthcare utilization among members of the kink community. A survey finds that nearly 40% of kinksters report at least one experience with discrimination in the healthcare system. academic.oup.com/jsm/article-...

This is amazing!

Looking to engage more here than I have with other social media. Looking for people to follow who do #research in #sex #relationships #BDSM and #kink. This place is already seeming to be far more friendly and productive that my previous ventures on the Internet
