A new Dreams of Spanking photo gallery is up and it’s all about the clothes brush. An exciting implement with a powerful sting. 

In this fantasy, I know that I’m in for a serious punishment. I’m wearing the tiniest denim shorts, as my disciplinarian enjoys seeing me in skimpy clothes. As I bend over, I eagerly await the feeling of this implement against my skin. I feel the impact of the wooden back of the brush, and the first few strokes are almost pleasurable through the denim.

This post is about government and individual pandemic strategy, what I'm doing, and what I recommend you do too.

People talking about gender affirming healthcare and harm reduction for trans people continue to run into hostility from those who would prefer it if trans folk didn't exist.  A statement of trans solidarity signed by hundreds of feminists was recently undermined by the Guardian, who published it alongside quotes from a couple of transphobic individuals ‘for balance’.

We've been self-isolating for a couple of weeks now, and it's important that we to stay connected and support each other. This is a tough time for everyone. It has already had an impact on society and the economy, as you can see from these graphs:

Since social distancing and self-isolation have kicked in, people have had to be creative about how to spend their time. Social media is full of whimsical self-shot videos showing the many varied ways people have occupied themselves during quarantine. And of course there there has been a notable spike in traffic on porn sites.
