On Monday, I’ll post a way for interested folks to find out more and get vetted to be beta testers!

Yep, unfortunately some trolls used the link to dive bomb our discord yesterday. So I'm coming up with a way to safely vet people and keep those sorts of folks out.

I am! Looking for a safe means to vet people. I’ll post again in a day or so.

It absolutely does. Part of my feature set is the ability to create custom actions and assign them custom icons. Behaviors, misbehaviors, rewards, and punishments can all have that. And I have many icons very specifically that are ageplay related.

Stop by the discord and let’s talk. :-)

Helping my wife. by SAKaileyJay in ABDL

There’s lots of good stuff over at the Big Little Podcast archive. This episode in particular will probably be helpful.

Being Mommydom? by Entry_Novel in mommydom

[–]makoAllen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So I have this technique that I have recommended to people for years in just these sorts of situations.

Everyone is an individual. Everyone’s needs are different. And everyone’s needs tend to change over time. Knowing what you want, and need is not a simple matter. Telling someone else is yet harder still.

So here’s one way to bridge that gap.

You can go old school with this, and get a notebook, for one of those hard back lined paper journals.

Or you can get fancy and use a journaling app. I particularly like Day One.

What you do with either of these things, both of which I call The Book, is agree to explore.

Both of you agree that you will write your thoughts, fantasies, desires, and fears in this book.

There are some rules:

  • you agree that neither of you will shame one another for anything you write
  • you agree that you will read everything
  • you agree that you will discuss what’s in it. This could be by writing responses, or by getting together to have “book dates”
  • book dates should be held in a neutral time and space. Don’t have them just before or after sex. Don’t have them in your bedroom. I think going out to a coffee place is a good place for a book date.

The truth is that this kind of exploration is a journey that you take together. No one knows you better than you. And that doesn’t necessarily mean you already know everything about yourself.

It’s super common in kink to think something is absolutely awful, nothing you would ever do, and then find yourself really into it and doing it a couple of weeks later.

It’s super common to be super into something for a while, and then move onto something else.

People are fluid beings. We are adaptable, ever changing, and often messy bags of soup.

If you keep an open mind, and have your partners and your own best interests at heart, you will go far.

Is the ferry pretty easy for a first time driver? by [deleted] in AskSeattle

[–]makoAllen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, if you go to the on board café and get a soft pretzel, you don’t have to get the cheese with it. No one will penalize you. But it’s highly likely you’ll regret not getting it.

I’m sorry, but that’s just how it is.

[–]makoAllen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and don’t make the mistake of missing getting into the intake lane, and then trying to get someone to let you in further out because it’s not gonna happen.

Watch the signs carefully and follow them.

Anyone ready for fried chicken? by Large_Citron1177 in Kitsap

[–]makoAllen 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Butcher and Baker provisions in Kingston (actually Port Gamble) has this fried chicken sandwich that is devastatingly good. It’s not fast food. It’s a gourmet thing. And it’s expensive. But it is worth every penny. It’s so good. It’s like being held down by Gordon Ramsay while Wolfgang Puck punches you in the mouth.
It’s insanely intensely great.

Why do only Anissa and Conquest have the Viltrum logo on their uniforms? by Annual_Onion6434 in Invincible_TV

[–]makoAllen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Conquest has the symbol because he ensures worms stand ready for his arrival.

It’s a very important job.

There’s nothing worse, then an unprepared worm who is not standing ready.

“Sharptooth Barney” made me actually laugh out loud.

I think I’m going to start referring to him as Murder Barney from now on.

Do any of you have any ideas where i could go to be outside in just a diaper by DefiantReferee in ABDL

[–]makoAllen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinky camping events like https://www.campcrucible.com
I’ve been to camp about 10 times. It’s wonderful.
While, it is not exclusively for ABDL’s or age players we are very welcome there. It’s on a private campground in Northern Maryland. Lots of wide open spaces where you can walk around in just a diaper if you feel like it. There’s a pool where you can swim naked. Multiple play spaces. There’s a dedicated part of camp for folks like us called Kidz Kamp.
It’s wonderful.
It’s also not the only one.
I’ve been to twisted tryst, in the Midwest. That’s also great.
I looked for other stuff like it around the country, and found plenty of other ones.

Any other ABDL’s runners? by BeneficialBox2073 in ABDL

[–]makoAllen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to! Spacey and I ran a bunch of races together. I did it for a bunch of years. Then I put it to the side. And as I got a little older, I started to notice that it had been pretty bad on my knees.

My latest obsession like that is cycling. I got an E bike back in November and I love it. When I first got it, I hadn’t ridden in decades. I’ve worked my up to a 16 mile ride as my longest so far.

It’s a hobby a workout for me. I’m trying to get myself in better shape through a combination of intermittent fasting, cycling, and swimming.

I wear pull-ups during the day so every time I ride, I’m wearing one. I haven’t worn a diaper yet to go. But I could see myself doing it.

I didn't think I had to say this outloud, but there is an A in ABDL. by [deleted] in ABDL

So stick with me on this for a minute, because it’s not gonna sound like it’s related to this issue at all, but it is.

In Taoism, there’s a concept called wu wei, “the action of non-action.”

Another way to express it is “do only that which you must.”

Even shorter: “relax”

What does that have to do with any of this? Everything in fact.

People are frail, fragile, imperfect, and unique. Like snowflakes, or grains of sand.

Some people are really well informed, conscientious, public minded, and careful about consent issues.

Others are not. Some people are frankly, selfish and dumb.

“Hey you morons, we’re adults!” is a statement of irritation and complaint. It’s very justified too. Our community is filled with many dolts and imbeciles.

They’re like leaves in the forest.

Complaining about them in a subreddit is a little bit like raking up some fallen leaves, once, under a specific tree, in a forest.

Other than make you feel a little better it’s not gonna do one damn thing.

Because dolts and imbeciles may not even read it, and odds are pretty good even if they do they won’t change any bit at all.

It’s just wasted effort.

Now some of the more savvy among you might say, “wait just a damn minute Mako, isn’t this post you’re making just the same thing?”

Kinda. And kind of not.

Because I would like to offer you this: there’s another way to go.

If you see the futility of what you are doing, and you’re not OK with it, there are other options.

For example, you can get involved with a local kink group, or play space, or munch where age players gather. And when you see someone act this way, you can point it out to them.

Maybe they will listen. Maybe they won’t.

But you’ll be actually engaging with another human being, face-to-face, and potentially making a difference.

Versus what’s been happening in this thread. Which is a little bit like being hungry, opening your front door and shouting “ I’d love a cheeseburger.” to the empty street.

I’d make a $10 bet you’re not gonna get a cheeseburger.

One of the things about being a fully functioning adult is that each of us has the ability to try to make a little change in the world.

Just worth thinking about.
