So after some more thought, I'm going to be winding this account down considerably, and probably removing most of my content on here in the next day or two.
I've been pretty quiet for a while now, with a lot of things on my mind keeping me from engaging with this side of life. I know these are hard times for many people, though, and I'm going to try and be more active and available, both here and on ๐ฆโ๏ธ.
@nosebleedcat Petting someone and calling them a good kitty after they were very brave for a change is always rewarding. And it's nice to not have every exchange be viewed through the lense of someone wanting to get off.
@nosebleedcat Part of it is that the community was so small that it was harder for folks to differentiate their interests. It was binary, either you had a small side or didn't. Once people could be more open about their 'real age', they could start expressing a spectrum of identify.
Good morning @BabyfurCon Campers! Just a reminder that I'll be doing Story Time tonight at 6:00pm in the school, and I'm looking forward to seeing your smiling faces there.
@nosebleedcat 1. You're amazing.
2. The fact that you hold yourself to such high standards is a virtue only so long as it doesn't keep you from remembering point 1. Take a break if you need it!
@poofylep I've definitely had strangers ask. And depending on the environment, it can be fine to ask. That said, these rules apple even to folks you already know, and no matter what, there has to be a first time getting a change from someone.
I've been asked many times how to request a diaper change, so here are a few good rules to follow.
1. Be Polite.
2. Be hygienic.
3. Be open about why you need a change.
4. Be prepared for someone to say no.
5. Say thanks afterwards!
And above all else, adults only!

Tip for Littles: You may have a different vibe in headspace alone versus with others, and that's fine! Find the energy that you're comfortable with in any given environment. If you'd rather go full baby with just a caretaker, but be a "big kid" with friends, that's totally valid.
