I don’t think I have ever loved and admired a celebrity (she is kinda) in such a full body way than I have Annie Sprinkle. Even way back when I was determined to prove her wrong about there being eight types of orgasm (spoilers – I failed, who’d have thought a former sex-worker and pornstar … Read More
It’s finally happened. My trying new SoKo skincare and sheet masks has pushed into the world of snail slime. I’m looking at the sheet mask and genuinely wondering if I can actually bear to use it. The last time I was at a French regional festival they had giant snails there in a tank as … Read More
Honestly, surviving ended up being a thing last year same as the year before. I want to lose the weight I need to and for every stone I lose I will reward myself with a tattoo. I will do some yoga once a day, whether that is simply standing in Mountain Pose or managing some … Read More

I really am enjoying the Together Forever setting, (though admittedly I haven’t played the poly iteration of the game) I’ve written before about it’s dystopian future dating premise.
