Update: After 3 classes it became clear to us that watching someone tie knots from ten feet away is not an effective method for learning how to tie knots. It was fun when it worked, though. Definitely seek out a class or event if you’ve ever been curious about it. You can even learn self tying if you don’t have a willing partner (not all partners are angels like I am). There were solo people in all the classes!
One thing is very clear: DO NOT tie or get tied if you haven’t learned about the many risks involved! If you/they don’t know which areas need particular care due to the chance of nerve damage, run away.
I bought a book and I’ll be sure to keep y’all updated lol.
We learned about consent, subspace, and some very real risks that can come with bondage, and practiced some beginner knots (single and double columns, for those in the know). It was laid back and fun. We’re going back next week.
Fun fact: I learned about it when I was on Eventbrite looking for art classes

The first of the random things in my room: the rope & tennis balls. Those words together sound like a funny metaphor for something. An explanation; the rope is a souvenir of sorts from a trip myself and a couple friends took - we had a shit ton of luggage and not enough car. So we bought rope and tied it to the roof of th vehicle. I was paranoid 98% of that 3 hour drive.
The Tennis balls don't have a fun story. I walk around and oddly find these often. I usually keep them. They judt occupy my mind when I'm bored. Good ol' throwing in the air.
I'm also really into the colours. Nice glow. The rope will probably come in handy again. In more ways than one lol

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists.
The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished.
People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.

I’m 50, I say because that makes me unusual in this context. I paid [redacted] for a ticket to the Eras Tour after listening to tswift for 3 weeks, and it was worth it. In second grade my teacher gave kids birthday spankings over her knee, and in sixth grade my teacher told my mom I hadn’t blossomed yet. I’m a good friend, mostly to people on the internet. I’m good at conversing with strangers. I’m usually the oldest person at the show but don’t feel like it. I’m good at being helpful. I’m sarcastic and funny and make myself laugh. I’m a good graphic designer and a conscientious driver. I’m a good photographer and I can successfully follow recipes. I don’t use my Peloton enough. I did a lot of caregiving for my mom for several years, and we enjoyed spending time together even if it was mostly in waiting rooms and my car. The fastest I ever ran a mile was eight minutes and six seconds. I drove the same car for 20 years and then replaced it with another one. I enjoy tipping, giving money to people on the street and Disneyland. I am a fan of baseball, Formula 1 racing and the Criterion Channel. I solve about 80% of New York Times crosswords. I take Prozac and Wellbutrin, and take Trazodone to sleep through the night. I wish I had a glassed in solarium so I could sleep in it on rainy nights. I would like to have a pet cat and a garage. I could happily live eating only cereal and fruit. I overshare on the internet and undershare elsewhere. ✌️💛
