No topic is currently burning to be talked about in my mind, and so today, I will just catch folks up on this n’ that.

Let’s see…. well, here is Burger King’s Pride ad.

Is that not a sunny patch of magical wonderfulness? Pay close attention, all other corporations, because Burger King just won Pride.

And because of things I have been thinking about lately, the phrase that popped out at me was “people should not be afraid of being who they are. ”

What a marvelous expression of the fundamental principle of individualist cultures : being free to be who you are.

At its core, all individualist cultures are fundamentally hostile to anything which treats any individual as if they are not an individual but merely one interchangable part of an identity-defining of a uniform whole.

That’s why the arc of history in modern society bends towards justice. Individualism is inherently hostile to bigotry. The very definition of bigotry is to treat members of a group – any group – as if merely knowing someone is a member of a group tells you everythign you need to know about said person.

Beware the phrase “I know enough”. It is invariably wrong.

This is also why the social history of every modern civilization cna be viewed as a series of movements to enfrancise and empower with individuality increasingly small groups.

It started with women (half the population), then non-whites (35 percent-ish and rising ), then gays and lesbians(maybe ten percent?), and who know who will be next?

Of course, all these movements are still ongoing, and as they progress through the generations, their area of focus becomes increasingly narrow.

For example, right now women’s rights is in its fourth or fifth wave. So its area of focus is now relatively subtle ways men are still managing to be dicks to them.

Things like not taking them seriously in meetings, denying them the very top positions (glass ceilings), tragically pathetic sexual inappropriateness (how hard is it to NOT whip out your dick at/for women), and that goddamned pay difference I thought we had solved when was still a child.

And I am fucking 46 now.

Now don’t get me wrong – these are all real and serious issues. But from a historical perspective, there is a huge difference between discussing how women are treated at work today and discussing whether women should be allowed to work, like they did when I was a child.

Same with civil rights. I am as furious and sad about unarmed black people being shot by racist cops as everyone else, but there is a huge difference between discussing whether black people are being targeted by racist cops and discussing whether black people are people.

We must focus on the issues of the day, but not to the point where we lose all perspective and start wringing out hands and saying “Have we really made any progress at all?”.

Um, yeah. Loads. We might not be at the mountaintop yet, but we’re a hell of a lot closer than we have ever been before.

Let’s see. What else. Oh right, my new furry smut love afair.

Check this (very very NSFW) bit of gay furry porn :

That’s a goooood kitty.

It’s the eye contact that really does it for me. The way he’s looking at the person attached to that cock for approval and confirmation his ministrations are being enjoyed really does something for me.

It’s just so cute!

And that made me realize that there is a form of submissive male that really appeals to me : the cute kind.

BDSM in general has never done anything for me. To me, pain, dominance, abuse and all that stuff is the exact opposite of sexy.

I need happy warm fuzzy vibes in my sex!

But if you throw away all the whips and chains and intriguing uses of leather and instead imagine a form of submission that actually fits within my warm and fuzzy vibe, suddenly I am SUPER interested.

Bad at innuendo woman : He’s SAYING his DICK GETS HARD!

I could see myself falling big time for a sweetly submissive person who will seek my approval and appreciate my affection and be happy within my sphere of influence.

As long as I am in no way expected to tie, torture, or otherwise torment this person, I might very well enjoy a dom/sub relationship with me as the dom.

Still pretty sure my being a sub is not a possibility. I am too self-contained and stubborn. If it happened, it would have to be one hell of a guy.

Hmmm. Maybe a daddy figure of sufficient male energy.

But even then, I would happily take the secondary position of “son”. I don’t have to be on top all the time. I can be second fiddle when it suits me.

However, I could never accept an inferior position. I am way, way too proud and defiant for that shit. If my hubby even hinted that I was in any way lesser than him, he’d get a piece of my mind big enough to choke a horse.

“Different but equal” is fine.

But inferior? Never.

Oh, and I am nearing the end of my obsession with Fallout 4, I think. I have now played through all the DLC and I am about to beat the game. By that time, I will be Level 50, and that’s honestly enough for me.

Actually, I thought 50 was the level cap for the game, but I just looked it up and it turns out not to have one.

But that makes no difference, really. I have already maxed out every skill that I give a shit about with that character, and so there is not much point in going on anyhow.

When I am done that, I will probably make a new character. A fisticuffs expert. perhaps. Might be fun to go around punching things to death.

But I don’t know if I will play it for long. I am getting burned out on the game, and it’s looking like it’s time to put it back in the vault for another decade or so.

There’s still a whole shitload of mods out there that I haven’t tried, but the only ones I would care about would be the quest mods and all the ones I have tried have eventually crashed and become unplayable because I just plain cannot progress any more.

And even if that wasn’t the case, I would still be pretty sick of the game.

Luckily,. I have already lined up its replacement. Fanatical had a sale on games by Beamdog, who made the two Baldur’s Gate games that I very much enjoyed, so I took advantage of the sale to get the (ick) “spiritual successor” game Neverwinter Nights for only like $6.

Neverwinter Nights has a very impressive score of 91 pecent on Metacritic, and lots of places consider it one of the best games ever.

So I like my odds of enjoying it too.

Well, that’s the news from my neck of the woods for today.

I hope the animation works on that cocksucking tiger pic. It is even hotter when you see him sucking away.

Makes me want to reach down and fuzzle his head.

Good kitty. VERY good kitty.

I will talk to you nice people again tomorrow.
