Hi! I'm Emily, aka Foal Papers ("Foaly") in fandom spheres and Pet Emily elsewhere. I'm trans, non-binary, and many flavors of queer; I'm as geeky and kinky as the day is long; and I have my very own brain weasels, with whom I'm slowly becoming friends. Welcome to my random reflections and joys. :-)

*pokes fingers* So, I've gotten comfortable working with leather as a craft....
And I would like to delve into the kinkier side of leather craft.
Does anyone have links for tutorials or patterns?

Happy birthday!
Wrapping up my 45th birthday with SFA. It's having the same uneven start as TNG, DS9, etc but clearly has potential. Grateful for a deaf actor in s1e2 (first since TNG) but less happy with magical lipreading and surprise speaking tropes. Still, I enjoyed it, and look forward to Thursday for more.

Compression gloves at work means rings get put on my fit bit band.
It's so nice to craft here.

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor

Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes

Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day

Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods

recognizing your own fetishes, kinks and weird sexualities is fundamentally important to recognizing your own identity. Denying them can be as destructive as denying your own orientation.
This place needs some Innocuous Discourse pronto. Quote this with a take that’s not political or aggressive

Hi there, my Slate article about ICE is blowing up and I've been talking into a microphone nonstop all day

I'm going to make a thread of the interviews I've done already, and the ones I'm going to do in the next few days. Feel free to check them out if you would like to!

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

"During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night.

The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for."
I'm gonna say this with all the kindness in my heart: you aren't going to survive if you don't let your life have room for other things.

This is not a short term fight where we can just go 24/7 and then it will be over. We've got YEARS ahead of us. Take a break. Hydrate. Go bake something. Breathe.

Fuck. Just… fuck.
I’m at a complete loss of words right now, I just learned that @dattaxpony.bsky.social passed away two weeks ago from a heart attack right before the new year. He was such a good friend of mine that I would enjoy seeing at different cons. I’m so heartbroken right now, Rest in Paradise, Tax 😢🙏🏻

When you taped a song off the radio (and sometimes when you downloaded one in the early 00s) you'd get little snippets of DJs talking and you'd get so used to those bits on certain songs that it feels weird to hear them without them even now.
Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

This, and ditto for any other kinks, fetishes, and general alternative interests that misguided folks believe to somehow be problematic. Provided an activity is harmless (distinct from causing hurt, which some do) and practiced by consenting adults, it’s not for anyone else to judge or condemn.
i support the hell out of babyfurs, caregivers, littles or anyone involved in ABDL, if you dont like that you can

A: leave

B. educate yourself on why i think this way & its the only ethical choice

C. go fuck yourself

THEY DONT HARM ANYONE, LEAVE THEM ALONE
