Sorry. (Not sorry.)

I was thinking that too.

Frickin' Rockville indeed. Sometimes I kinda miss it.

Mine did indeed happen.

Ahhhhh hahahaha. Yay.

I used to live in Adams Morgan. I feel you. (Only metaphorically and consensualy, though.)

Um... good for you, I guess, but leaving the house "like a slob" (meaning that I haven't bothered to pretty myself up for public consumption) hasn't prevented me from getting harassed.

WHOA.

Basically, they're like aspiring sugar babies who want the pay without the potential sex.

Indeed. The D/s dynamic is intended to be a wholly symbiotic one and that can't exist without consent.

A lot of the functional details are out of date now because her entre to the profession was before the golden age of the internet and social networking, but Shawna Kenney's "I Was a Teenage Dominatrix" is an amusing well-written memoir.

All of this. I did do some financial domination in the later part of my career (if you can call doing it as a side-gig for supplemental income a career), but it was something that became part of my arsenal long after gaining more ... conventional (?) BDSM experience.

It's genuinely not that interesting.

Former pro domme here, and yup. Yup to all of this.

I would venture to guess that 30 inches is quite a petite hip measurement. Mine are 39 at the widest part and I don't even have much of an ass.

It feels good to be validated, I guess?

I believe it's still policy in Czech for Romani children (who last long enough in school before their parents pull them out to work with the family) to eventually be placed in schools for the mentally handicapped based on their ethnic background. Makes me sick and also makes me hypersensitive to Americans who have no…

I hear ya. Antiziganism is a systemic problem that has been reinforced over and over for hundreds of years in Europe and it's not likely to go away any time soon. It frustrates me that many more traditional Rom are so anti-gadje that they resist mainstream education and integration which makes them easier to continue…

I'm aware. I've had several Romani relatives murdered.

I said this very thing.
