It has a unique aesthetic.

I bought a birthday gift for a family member that I think will be pretty spot-on for what they like.

@metapianycist

Nailed it. Cause of death: a birb with a rear end "like a feathered egg."

I read those, like, over ten years ago, but that stuck with me.

@metapianycist

Either that book is in Mercedes Lackey's Last Herald-Mage trilogy (second volume, I think?), or this same thing happens in some other book.

tee hee

Head's up, Value Village has their 99 cent t-shirt sale today (though I'm not sure if the sale is held on the same date at all locations?). They save their best shirts to put out for this sale, too. I was looking forward to it all year, and I just went there and restocked my wardrobe with t-shirts so wacky that I don't know where I'd have found them otherwise.

@icarus

Heck yeah! Being able to think "Someday I can be old AND awesome, see, I can do it because these other people are managing it!" has got to be THE most life-affirming thing.

@wigglytuffitout
"Silver vixen" is truly an awe-inspiring suggestion!! I hope it enters common use to empower and enchant, and that it never ends up being used in a misogynistic way.

@Torie

Oh! Cool!

@max

I've only seen it used for older men, but if you've seen it in use for other genders already, then that's cool.

Make "silver fox" a gender-inclusive term of aesthetic admiration for older women and chic seniors of all genders!

@KitRedgrave

Thanks!

@KitRedgrave

What does it mean?

@memnus @midi_mac

Awesome! If you have good resources with diagrams or descriptions, those are good, too.

@rey

What if selective evolution has caused giraffes to REPEL lightning?

@rey

Now you say it, I'm wondering why increased risk of lightning strikes weren't one of the early theories for the extinction of dinosaurs.

@gatewave

This is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life, and I totally lose it whenever I think about it. Thank you for this valuable contribution to the planet earth.

https://SheVibe.com is supposed to be one of the best places for buying any brand of sex toys.

I've seen a lot of reviews agreeing that the best strap-on harnesses, functionally, are the kind that don't look like "harnesses," and look more like fabric underwear. They hold more securely, are easier to put on (or even wear under your ordinary clothes), and are machine washable. RodeoH is the main brand for that, and has a masculine aesthetic. There are some other brands that look more feminine (pastel and frilly). You can find tutorials for making a DIY fabric harness out of some underwear and rubber O-rings, which is cheaper and lets you make it look however you want.

For a more classic harness shape, but made with sparkly plastic and fun colors, GNAT's harnesses look really aesthetically intriguing. https://gnat.shop/

If your partner is at all comfortable with using toys that penetrate their own vagina, I strongly recommend that they get a Tantus Feeldoe, which is a "strapless" strap-on dildo that is designed to transmit sensation to the wearer. It effectively simulates what it *feels* like to have a penis, even according to post-op trans women, so it's an experience not to miss. Tantus has a few different models of it (slimmer, and/or more anatomically realistic), and other brands have made their own variations and knock-offs.

There was a brand of strap-on dildo that had a hole through it, so it would transmit suction to the wearer during oral sex, but last I heard, it was no longer manufactured. Maybe there are some like that now? Anyone know?

I also remember seeing pictures of a few kinds of strap-on dildos that had a textured base, so that it would rub on the wearer's clit when in action. I don't think that was unique to just one brand. I have no idea what brands those were, but that could be interesting?

@deeglaze

Thank you. I'll look into that.
