We Hunted The MammothWe Hunted The MammothOPEN THREAD on the big day in the UK.
Comment away. No trolls or Boris supporters please.
I know it’s difficult for everyone in the U.K. right now and people who have experienced loss or illness of loved ones and I know that’s serious stuff and I feel for all and don’t wish to make light but I’m off shortly to go claim my pet.
I am going to finish getting dressed at the venue and we have set-up to do and this time I will probably get to spend only 20-30 minutes with him once he’s harnessed and leashed before I’ll have to put him back and we step away and wind down. We have to keep it short for the energy to be right but it’s going to be beautiful I think.
Also sorry to anyone if what I wrote before was TMI and if this is but thanks to all who support me here in this beautiful time of growth for me. I love how David’s posts and all the smart commenters makes me think and you all are wonderful souls and thank you for resisting patriarchy’s and ugly inequities.
I’m leaving to walk a few blocks to my friend’s apartment and she is going to drive me to our venue. I’m carrying my whip openly in public which I’ve never done before but I feel exhilarated doing it when I’m dressed (though my coat is on). I wouldn’t do that before but I’m told myself it’s an accessory to my outfit so it’s ok and that made me comfortable and then exhilarated.
Please wish me luck!
I remember when I started reading this thread a long time ago – I thought these extemists were terrible but would never become mainstream. Ugh. Internationally we are moving each to nationalism. I no longer comprehend politics. It’s a circus.
WWTH, my sympathies, such a difficult and distressing situation to be in. I hope they can diagnose her soon so you at least know what’s going on with your mom.
Hambeast, so sorry for your loss.
Not that I’m a Boris supporter (I’m an American and I know next to nothing about the man) but if I may ask, why aren’t his supporters allowed to comment? Seems a bit authoritarian and anti-free speech IMO.
Go clutch your pearls somewhere else.
What? It was an honest question.
Thanks for the kind words, all. Nothing new to report today. Hugs also to anyone else going through similar issues.
Boris Johnson supporters/conservatives aren’t banned from the whole site. Open threads are kept free of trolls or people who otherwise may cause conflict because they’re meant to be spaces where we can peacefully discuss things, talk about personal matters and support one another.
Anyway, here’s a red panda gymnast
It’s just me,
That’s awful. I’m so sorry you and your husband went through that. And welcome, if you’re a new commenter. I assume so because it appears your comment went to moderation at first.
Look at that clever little gymnastic fire pillow, omg
There’s quite a few folks on here who are going through (or have gone through) some seriously heartbreaking stuff. Thank you for being able to share, and um, solidarity. I don’t know how to express support eloquently, but it’s there.
My condolences to all who have experienced losses, and to those of you in the UK.
This has been a rough week for celebrity deaths as well.
Caroll Spinney, the Muppeteer who performed Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch for fifty years.
Marie Fredriksson of Roxette.
Danny Aiello of Do The Right Thing and Moonstruck.
Thank you all for your kind wishes. Husbeast gets told many tales of WHTM threads and I have forwarded those to him.
For everyone experiencing similar things, I wish you peace, self-care, and all the help you deserve.
Unfortunately, the pain of current US and UK politics will affect all too many outside of those borders. Hope and peace and the energy to fight to us all.
I now have the time (and some spoons) to go to the “No One is Above the Law” rally at Duncan Hunter’s office, probably on Wednesday. Although he’s not my congressional representative, his district is right next door to mine and there isn’t a rally at my rep’s office. Wish me luck.
StaceySmartyPants – I hope you had a lovely time!
@It’s just me
Did he take his own life or was it classified an accident?
@Moon Custafer
Is he an endogenic system?
@StaceySmartyPantsTwiceRemoved
Good luck and I enjoy hearing about your adventures.
@Hambeast
Good luck!
@caketastydelish
Assuming you’re being genuine and not trying to start an argument, it’s explained in the comments policy.
@Hambeast
Thank you so much! Oh, it was intense but so exhilarating and beautiful. All the time and effort with my friends there as go-betweens and all our time and effort getting stuff set up was worth it. He’s gorgeous, 6’3″, dark hair and eyes and really handsome with like chiseled features and really fit. Not bodybuilder gross big but beautiful muscled and lean and ripped looking. I like it that if it makes incels mad that I like that and I *get* that then that’s awesome. It felt really amazing to have a tall handsome strong guy like that not being a jerk but there for me to do whatever I wanted. Once I had him harnessed and on my leash I just admired him and loved just running my hands over him. Guys need to quiet down and let women do that more when we want. He never spoke once (isn’t *that* awesome?!?!) but his eyes were incredible. The 20 minutes I played with him went by like 20 seconds. Before I put him back I stood him up and we kissed and it was the most incredible kiss ever in my life and I can’t stop thinking about it. I want to see him and play with him again and am texting our go-betweens to see about this evening. My guy friend (supposed friend) who I’m not attracted to and is just a friend was bugging me to get together and asking if he can come over and I said yeah ok but yuck I would rather spend time again with my slave. I am going to journal because I know there is something about power and resisting patriarchy here.
@StaceySmartyPantsTwiceRemoved
Glad you had such a great night. That will make for a great journal entry.
@UniversalKami
Thank you so much! The experiences are amazing and, yes, really sexy to be honest but in a safe way and also for me it’s all like drama and performance art too. It takes soooo much preparation and work so much more than might meet they eye! But it’s worth it. And actually I think there is maybe a feminist lesson in there because when we get objectified according to men’s desires and not our own men think it’s all easy. Like no work goes into the porn they watch. I am really am into my slave and enjoying him but I see how much work it takes and all the collaboration in our group to set this up and that’s a testimony to the women involved.
Like to me it’s a turn on that for me my slave doesn’t even need a name because this is about me being able to turn patriarchy on its head an enjoy an objectified sexy male body but I can’t enjoy that unless in the back of my mind I know that the real person that he is in the real world not only consents but enjoys it too and my ability to know that and enjoy comes from all the work our go-betweens do for us.
And like how much of a rush I get using a whip crack to emphasize my authority when giving him commands like when I stood him up to kiss him before we finished. It looks and feels sexy and it is but not everybody saw the hours and hours of work I had to do practicing a coachman’s crack with my bullwhip to do it so I can control where it strikes and not hit him or anyone and be unsafe. And a coachman’s crack is a kind of challenging crack but is the one I needed to look sexiest for us. Plus it makes me feel powerful.
The incels who complain about women like me liking only handsome guys they call chad don’t get all the work I still have to do. But I think it’s like a feminist point that once again women’s work and effort is downplayed. That has always made me mad. I kind of wish I could tell off an incel posed on my stage with my handsome gorgeous slave harnessed and his leash in one hand and my awesome bullwhip in the other. I think there would be something poetic about that.
Sorry to ramble but my heart and soul are all over the place today, joyfully, and reading and posting here is helping inspire my journaling so thank you.
@StaceySmartyPantsTwiceRemoved I love reading your comments, mainly because of your genuine heartfelt delight and enthusiasm in finding something so right for you.
To all those suffering, I send love and sympathy.
Things are going to shit fast. Yaxley-Lennon has joined the Tory party; Katie Hopkins has been spewing her usual nastiness in tweet form but with a tone of exultation that’s really hard to stomach. There’s been talk already about privatising social care. I know the deterioration will take time; it’ll be the usual frog-in-water situation where they get us used to creeping privatisation and authoritarianism bit by bit.
The Tory voter twitterati and much of the media are now characterising Labour supporters, and especially Corbyn supporters, as out of touch, entitled elites. So 40 years since Thatcher came to power, the Tories are suddenly the people’s party and Labour is suddenly the establishment, despite its departure from Blairism. It’s topsy-turvy land over here.
I’m really scared, especially for my disabled friend who has a ton of medical problems she needs regular support for, and my friend who nearly died of a heart condition and is having to fight the DWP for his benefits.
@Kupo it basically says in the policy no MRAs, no Nazis/KKK types, no trump supporters.
Without being an expert in British politics, isn’t Boris just a mainstream conservative candidate/politician? Not everyone not as liberal as the Democratic Party is the same as the groups mentioned in the comment policy and it’s intellectually dishonest to assume otherwise.
tl;dr :
Banning woman haters, racists, homophobes is one thing, banning all conservatives no matter what is another.
Again, go clutch your pearls somewhere else. And quit JAQing off.
Well you’re such a nice human being aren’t you…
Everyone thank you all so much for the support. The WHTM community is wonderful. My heart is with those in difficult times now wishing you comfort.
@Hambeast
More compassionate thoughts for you and definitely wishing you luck at the rally on Wednesday. You are brave and I admire your dedication!
@Naglfar
Thanks and yes I have been writing while texting my mentor to see about playing with my slave against tonight!
@AmyE
I know things are difficult in the UK right now with the political stuff that is scary. I just want to offer my words of support. I know it’s just words and thoughts and that you are facing the reality. The U.S. here scares me too. But I just want to say I’m thinking of you. Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate you. Texting with my mentor now about setting up a time tonight to see my slave and we’re saying maybe even I can walk him a little with that hot body of his in harness and on a leash (we did only that a little bit last night) it’s another example of stuff that is sexy and looks just really artsy-edgy cool when we do it but takes actual practice and coordinates and communicates and *empathy and understanding* that’s a natural part of BDSM but that misogynistic wanker-complainers just overlook or think isn’t necessary.
Hippodameia is quite a lovely person, in fact. ❤️ Trolls who come on here to Just Ask Questions about why people might not appreciate having to deal with trolls who voted in favor of taking healthcare away from vulnerable people, on the other hand, not so nice.
Thank you, Kupo!
Yeah, I am.
Again, conservatives are not banned on the entire site. It’s just that open threads are for regulars and new or infrequent commenters who are here in good faith and not here to pick fights.
David reserves the right to ban someone who’s distressing another commenter or pissing everyone off too much, but no, conservatives are not automatically banned from the site.
Also Boris Johnson is demonstrably all three of those things.
