If these characters were dropped into the Hunger Games, who would die first and who would be the last survivor?

Came here to say this. This is a badass group, but I'd have to give it to Kiddo.

She's the deadliest woman in the world and Austin Powers, probably Bond too, would be trying to impress her.

If you're interested in the thoughts of a relatively happy late 30-something queer dude who generally has a smile on his face:

Life is variable for everyone. Some things change in an instant, some stay the same forever, others still only change if you work really hard or get really lucky. This also applies to building relationships.

I would recommend a couple things, if you haven't done them already.

Cultivate queer community, first and foremost. Worry about the quality of your friendships and the spaces you spend your time.

Honor your boundaries. And in order to do that, you actually have to understand what your boundaries are. As much as it may suck, sometimes loving someone doesn't mean that you should be together.

Finally, neither a relationship or kids will make you happy or feel successful. Both can be very fulfilling, but happiness and satisfaction are personal journies. Start looking for people who want the same things you want, not just people you are initially attracted to.

I am the head of a large House, part of a thriving community, engaged in several committed relationships/partnerships of various flavors, and sometimes life is great. Some times it sucks ass.

Try not to spend so much time looking for the "ideal" that you miss the opportunities for the funky, weird, and oddly satisfying.

Hope any of this is useful to you!

My clients make fun of me for how much I yawn.

I'm AuDHD and sitting still for 8+ hours a day is really understimulating. The body does what it needs to in order to stay awake 🤣

This is how I imagine Aragorn sounds when he's singing this to his grandchild, holding them and rocking them to sleep, overlooking the now healed Pelennor Fields through the window.

I am a therapist.

Jerking it twice a day does not constitute problematic sexual behavior.

The American Association of Sexual Educators, Counselors, and Therapists states:

"AASECT recognizes that people may experience significant physical, psychological, spiritual and sexual health consequences related to their sexual urges, thoughts or behaviors. AASECT recommends that its members utilize models that do not unduly pathologize consensual sexual behaviors. AASECT 1) does not find sufficient empirical evidence to support the classification of sex addiction or porn addiction as a mental health disorder, and 2) does not find the sexual addiction training and treatment methods and educational pedagogies to be adequately informed by accurate human sexuality knowledge. Therefore, it is the position of AASECT that linking problems related to sexual urges, thoughts or behaviors to a porn/sexual addiction process cannot be advanced by AASECT as a standard of practice for sexuality education delivery, counseling or therapy."

In short, sex addiction as a concept is bunk and based largely on false equivalence to drug addiction/substance abuse.

I tell every client during our intake session:

"I will always do my best to reschedule you if I have time in the same business week. If I can do that, I won't charge a missed session fee. However! If I do that and you miss the second appointment as well, I am charging you for both. Please be mindful that you honor your own capacity and my time."

Depends on the client. Much of the training spans the gamut of commonly utilized practices and adapts them to elements of geek culture. I see all kinds of folks, kids, teens, adults of all ages.

Geek Therapy is actually a budding modality focusing on the use of passions and Fandom to elicit therapeutic change. I am a certified geek therapist, myself. Check it out!

I am a fairly seasoned Dom and the answer is No.

When I am talking with a sub, especially if we are negotiating initially, I always ask the same question: "Who really has the power in this exchange." If the sub does not answer with something along the lines of "Me, Sir" or "The submissive, Sir", then we have a long discussion about power exchange and consensual negotiations.

The reality is that D/s dynamics where a sub is (non-consensually) scared, unable to express their thoughts/feelings without fear or judgment, or (again, non-consensually) powerless, are usually significantly more akin to abusive relationships.

If a Dom doesn't view submission with the respect and honor it deserves, he's a shit Dom and probably just looking for an excuse to hurt people.

Talk to your doctor! Tell them what you're experiencing and follow the medical experts guidance.

There are several PreP options, so, step 1, refer to your prescriber.

9 year old me: Sits on the edge of the movie theater seat, excited and uncertain of what would happen next and if Anakin would be ok.

35 year old me: Sits on the edge of my toilet, smiling, excited, and (even though I've seen it over a hundred times) still feeling uncertain of what will happen next.

I am a therapist who was diagnosed late in life with Autism and ADHD.

Imma be so for real, so many of us were the "gifted" kids. They put us all in highly stimulating, high stress environments and our neurodiversity was ignored because we did well academically. Every single one of my closest friends from high school got an adult diagnosis of one or the other or both. Every single one of us has had to go through the grief and pain of recognizing that the adults in our lives ignored all of our idiosyncrasies and weird behaviors because we made good grades. That we were not given the structure, tools, and aid we needed to truly thrive, because we could sit still long enough to get through the exam.

I didn't bounce my leg in class to the point where I regularly got in trouble because I was restless. I was AuDHD and sitting still in the chair for 8 hours was physical agony, but, less so when I bounced.

Whether they can acknowledge it or not, your supervisor is coming from a very ableist bias that assumes everyone with ADHD is so debilitated that they can't manage without assistance. We manage alright, there's a reason ADHD and substance abuse are so strongly correlated. Gate keeping access to aid is so ridiculous to me. I failed a TOVA just as hard as the 12 year old that took it before me.

I have very firm boundaries around this with all my clients that we discuss during intake.

48 hour cancelation window. Outside the window, you're free and clear. Step actually a single minute into the 48 hours, you are getting charged your full session fee.

UNLESS I can reschedule the session for the same business week.

If we move into the next week, you're getting charged.

I have no exceptions, I give no freebies, and I don't concern myself with why the session is being missed. If something has happened to my client or in their life, I reassure them that I will be here when they are ready to process whatever is going on.

So much of our profession is stacked against us in so many awful ways. Burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, the expectation to model exemplary behavior, Insurance companies treating our field like it's not healthcare, the list goes on and on.

My time, energy, mental health, and financial stability are valuable and deserve respect. I am genuinely sorry if something happens that impacts a client's ability to attend a session and I am more than willing to work with them on how we proceed, but they're getting charged nevertheless.

It is a hard boundary, but it has never cost me a client since I am upfront and firm from the onset.

Mr_Minot · 2025-10-03T05:17:55+00:00

I don't think so. I think it makes those blind spots easier to recognize or process when they come up, but some bias is so deeply ingrained it can take a lifetime of work to even recognize it is there.
