lol what a language salad I had in my brain right now—someone talked to me in Kurmancî and I wanted to answer with a simple "her bijî", but somehow the phrase wouldn't come to me cos I had just been talking in a mixture of German, English, Japanese and a bit of Arabic with a new friend so like, the Kurdish was on the tip of my tongue but wouldn't come in a very frustrating way, so I tried to look it up online in German cos there's more Kurd material in German than English, but then whenever I tried to remember the German word "Grüße" it evaded me also, I kept getting "aisatsu" instead

I find it vaguely amusing that アルバイト arubaito in German is Minijob, and "Minijob" in Englisch is "part-time job"

English world should call it "hijo" (from 非常勤) to complete the circle

#shibari people in the EU/Germany: Amatsunawa, considered by many the gold standard of kinbaku ropes, has a sampler box for their new "kiyomi" and "mitsuki" rope models
https://www.amatsunawa.com/KIYOMI-Mitsuki-sample-box-5x-4m-rope-untreated-various-diameters-10-voucher/KIYOMI-MITSUKI-samples

This will give you 5x4m high quality jute (untreated) for 10€ (15€ or so with shipping), which you then can use as short ropes in your kit for wrist/ankle ties, for practising etc.

now that I use youtube logged off, the suggestions on the front page were all localised to German and like, absolutely trash. not amusingly awful TV, just the worst garbage you can imagine.

then I found out you can set the preferred language and region in Tubular. I changed to Japanese/Japan and now I get suggested absolutely trash Japanese TV, like, the worst garbage

it's interesting how all tsunami coverage is now like つなみ！逃げろ！！ in yellow and red boxes etc. apparently the conventional wisdom was to be soothing and prevent panic, but that led to people underestimating the risk and urgency. so now the visual language is like, hey, panic a bit, you.

this applies to lots of things

adjustable hitches are very useful for shibari, but I want to highlight this note from Animated Knots as being at the intersection between kink and extremely specific prepping:

> Overboard: The Midshipman’s Hitch Knot [a Rolling Hitch over the standing end] is promoted by Ashley (ABOK # 1993, p 325) as the only knot to tie in the following unlikely but critical circumstance: you fall overboard and catch hold of the line which you have prudently left trailing astern and find yourself hanging on with difficulty. Before you tire, you manage to bring the bitter end of the rope around your back. You then have to tie a suitable knot to make a loop around you. A bowline cannot be tied under load. Two Half Hitches will slide and constrict you. The Rolling Hitch is the answer. Even as the second turn is tucked “up” into the correct place, the major strain is taken and the final Half Hitch can be tied with less urgency.

@Bruiserzinha it doesn't have an IP so I didn't name it :thounking: if I was going to name it something, let's see… Asuka Langley Sōryū. in tribute to the only 2 countries that still care about fax maschines

laugh at Mad Dog Fist all you want, then consider whether your martial art has a legally documented kill count

also I would like to highlight that step 1 for students of Mad Dog Fist is to study the Chinese law code on self-defense vs. assault

finally.
a martial art for puppygirls

I used to name my computers after Japanese folkloric creatures, then after some point I changed to umbanda spirits. usually I pick a name that has something to do with the physical appearance of the machine, so a small, white, thin Eee PC was shikigami, a black smartphone karasutengu, a vintage thinkpad pretovelho etc. the T14s I just lost was brasinha, in tribute to a bug where it may overheat while charging to beyond 95°.

there are exceptions. my trusty Pixel 3 is bubblegum, due to its pink case and themes. the raspi homeserver is tontu , because I was watching Hilda at the time. the OpenWRT router was umbra , which is from umbanda but more of a place than an entity, on account of the router being a sort of DMZ. so when it was replaced by the GL.iNet, the successor was named penumbra . my ex' printer was aniki because it was an old Brother.

tearing elilla&s off her beautiful, horny, clingy gf on Monday mornings to go to work should be a violation of the Geneva convention in my opinion

being a girl is the best thing ever. that's why all the fascists are so obssessed with trans ppl, they resent witnessing this much glory.

you know that effect where people go, "well *I* had to pay absurd grotesque amounts of money to go to college that only the USA charges, so it's ~unfair~ if you don't have to pay too"? it's like that, they're like, it's unfair that we enjoy our genders so much, or the absence thereof

@Bruiserzinha she has like decades of experience doing this as her main occupation every day. imagine how it must feel for her bottoms.

porn games kicked out of itch, non-porn queer games brought down together as collateral, karada house deleted from instagram… the capitalist puritanism keeps accelerating as christofascism comes out of the closet… being overtly sexual and kinky was always a political act and is now more than ever, the fascists don't really want to eliminate sexualness or sex work, they want it hidden, marginalised, easily abusable outside of public life… it is by horny on main that we build safety and justice. horny on main is an insurrectionary act.

it tempted me for a second, you can see the entire series if you look for "girl boss" in "all movies" but that's just like, an IMDB interface. most of these movies show as "not available".

archive.org mostly has trailers but hey, "Escape From Reform School" is there in full
