Contrarian; loves middle ways

Dechurched, grieving; still passionate and seeking.

If risk is spicy, 5 stars + risk aware.

Yesterday, our election was held - the count was ✨19-13✨ in favor of @GrindrUnited! There are more ballots that are being challenged on both sides, so the result is not final - but we ultimately expect our victory will stand as the proceedings continue to shake out.

@Aella_Girl Do people really not know how to codeswitch a behavior?

Obligatory hugging with nonverbal consent at the small town church potluck: normal.

Hugs and even handshakes at the BDSM munch requiring clear verbal consent: also normal.

@Aella_Girl "Discriminate" as in publicly post a policy like "No Whites" or discriminate as in "I screen clients using criteria known only to me"?

Loving my #adv bike this weekend at the @touratechusa rally west. Saw #rain #sunshine, #morerain, views of #lakewenatchee , cute #frenchies, ...and #crafted an amazing new #gascap because somehow I lost mine on the trail? Even made some new friends! https://t.co/fOxj3iPALB
