The Mastodon #sffbookclub crowd-fund is again operational on @Liberapay at https://liberapay.com/Mastodon_SFFBookClub/receiving/

When Liberapay had problems last month, I withdrew the balance to date. I have just set what I withdrew (less the processing fee) to go back into the fund over the next month, at which time I will resume my own regular contribution.

As always, PM me if you need help affording the club selection or want more information about contributing.

Thank you!

#canhelpwith

* Quantitative research methods and statistics
* Accessing scientific articles from paywalled journals
* Frank discussion of mental health, specifically including bipolar disorder and anxiety disorders
* D/s relationships and select other kinky stuff
* Polyam relationships, specifically with D/s
* To-do-list management strategies

#sffbookclub, take note. After a suggestion from @jake , I have set up a LiberaPay account to subsidize book club participants who might not otherwise be able to read a selection due to costs.

I've seeded the donations, but please consider contributing so that more people can enjoy the club.

#Introduction #intro

I'm Naga. A statistical consultant by training and trade, but more here for general social interaction, especially geeky, sometimes sexy/kinky, and occasionally left-wing political. Oh, and new-dad stuff. Dragonlet is my toddler, Jalan is my wife.

Forgot to mention the near-absence of POC among the human population.

#Avatar

Now watching #Avatar: The Last Airbender (S2).

Tried watching (James Cameron's) #Avatar yesterday.

Wow, this is . . . problematic.

I get the idea: Colonialism bad, exploitation bad, but also making an indigenous population with a mishmash of every white person's vague impression of Native American traditions -- and Bonus White Savior -- also bad.

The Republicans are doing everything they can to steal the governor's race by #VoteSuppression, with very little time for remediation.

I miss the #VotingRightsAct.

The struggle is real.

Must. Resist. Mansplaining.

Ok, that got it out of my system.

Last night, one day into 10-day #chastity period.

Me: This feels like it would be a good night to masturbate.

Jalan: Good luck with that. You're welcome to try . . . But it seems like it would hurt.

Me: ....

(It's a #HolyTrainer--yes, it would hurt to try)

Migraine + nappish = time to read in a dim room. #AmReading #TheGirlInTheRoad by #MonicaByrne

A bit back Jalan offered me freedom to masturbate for a week--but for each orgasm I'd get two days in #chastity (starting) the next week.

Then we realized I was traveling the second week. Neither of us wanted to deal with TSA, not to mention hours in a plane seat. Wrong kind of discomfort.

So she added a week of masturbating freely.

I'd already racked up 8 days, and managed to hold myself to 10.

Then Hurricane Michael.

Finally started the sentence last night. #kink

Eventually slept, then woke up hangry. Yay.
