At least state that the door guy will give you a condescending look while checking your ID, imo

"gear strongly encouraged" okay but how, aside from using the words "gear strongly encouraged" in a post

"Gear strongly encouraged but not required" is one of those phrases venues use that should just be shortened to "Gear not required" unless they want to do something to actually encourage gear

Pretty sure this is the same guy who called me abusive and said I violated his consent when I called him out on being a fake

Shout out to the asexual aerobics stepping thingies

Literally 1 person got the joke, cmon

I'm tired of corporate Pride, this is unacceptable and needs to stop!

Happy Pride, Vancouver

Somewhat related, I've been thinking about this a bunch the past few days. If you've got an hour to kill while doing cardio or gaming, consider a more "dark forest Internet" approach where your public social media exists solely for promotion:

Now what?

My slave leaves me little notes around the house to let me know he loves me 😊

Having fun with @jcb49.bsky.social at Dore Alley yesterday

I actually first "met" the corgi at his place in NYC a couple of years back when my Dad and I stopped by for a visit

Timeline cleanse, I met a corgi wearing a little leather harness yesterday

I promise I used to be one!

"I don't pay attention to politics" guy presenting sweeping changes to the operations of his leather club to modernize operations and promote inclusion, but is not sure why everybody is mad at his PowerPoint presentation being called "Project 2025"

While in the middle of a bullwhipping at Dore, somebody in the peanut gallery mentioned to a friend "oh he must be a pro Dom", so I turned to him and replied "motherfucker, I'm a geologist"

Which isn't entirely true but way funnier than saying I'm a software engjneer

I'm all for toxic in/out group dynamics in the community as long as the out group is just guys who call it "Up Your Alley"

Is there any debate about what the gayest architectural feature is on a home?

It's clearly a turret.

If I’m paying fag tax, I expect fag health care, fag transit, and fag libraries.

But the fact that we are a club for men with those interests is why our account was banned.

Payment processors can and always have made arbitrary decisions about what they will permit, including making decisions on what sexualities are permitted to use their platform.

At the time, we had not hosted any play parties, sex/kink education events, or anything of that nature for a number of years.

We were a social club for men who are interested in leather, fetish, and kink.

I provided info to Stripe regarding this, that we basically held BBQs and bar meetups

My home club, Vancouver Men in Leather attempted to move the payment for our annual dues over to Stripe. Shortly after successfully setting everything up, our account was banned.

Given how payment processors are pressuring platforms to remove adult content, including any gay content, and UK's new laws are basically causing platforms to remove any gay content as well, I want to share something that happened a couple of years ago:

UK guys, I'm curious how Recon has navigated the age verification law requirements?

Cigar pic added for reach

Happy to be in a pair of leather-lined polishable Wescos finally after wanting a pair for over a decade.

If it's something you value, you can try, but convincing the pan community to accept queer masculinity as a valid form of queerness (or the men's community that queer masculinity is not a valid form of queerness) doesn't work out too well

And those who have good intentions of "uniting the communities" ultimately end up getting burned
