This blog is not an introduction to BDSM. This is the stuff that’s so weird no one else bothered to write it, not the essential foundations.
Updating schedule: Irregular from 28 August 2014 onwards.
Comments and contact: This is not a free speech zone. I welcome suggestions and disagreement, but love letters and chat-up lines are depressing and will probably be rejected.
Jargon: My aim is to be relatively accessible to readers coming from different backgrounds. If I’ve used jargon without an explanatory link, please alert me.
All content from elsewhere appears with attributions and/or links.
If you would like to reuse my content, whether commercially or non-commercially, please contact me.
Self-censorship: I prefer restrained language and images, but I don’t censor the topics I write about. You should get an initial popup warning for disturbing content.
God is a figure of speech for me, no more or less.
Amazon Associates: I have left this programme.
FetLife: This blog is not restricted to FetLife.com because I share Maymay’s concern about self-ghettoization. Resources are disappearing from the open web that are still needed outside the self-identified kink community.
Accessibility: This site aims to maximise accessibility for low-vision users. I welcome your suggestions/criticisms.
WordPress theme: Twenty Fourteen Theme with various modifications.
Plugins: Akismet, Classic Editor, Display Posts, EMC2 Popup Disclaimer, Head, Footer and Post Injections, Jetpack, JM Twitter Cards, Really Simple SSL, Redirection, Related Posts by Zemanta, UpdraftPlus Backup/Restore (with Migrator), Wordfence Security (thanks Axe!), and WP Super Cache. Sometimes also Regenerate Thumbnails, Search Regex, and Public Post Preview. Rest in peace, Captain Typekit.
