Delighted with my Monkey Sergeant leather hoodie. After being measured at Darklands, the 'Trekker' arrived this week from Northern Ireland. Thanks to Jonny and Steve for the great service.

Darklands remains a fantastic event. Four days of partying with thousands of fetish men. I wonder what the new location will be.

There are a lot of rubbermen in Berlin this weekend. There seems to be a rubber party tonight in club Lab.oratory. That brings a different energy with more young men in different, more varied outfits to bars like Prinzknecht and New Action. Super fun! #rubbermen #leathermen #Berlin

'Rains over Babel' is the debut film of the talented director Gala del Sol. It is an overflowing burlesque tale of coming out, drag, faith, betrayal and death. The plot with all its sidelines is difficult to retell, but comes together well in a kind of 'Colombia meets Darklands'. #IFFR #gaymovie

The film 'Miséricorde' by French director Alain Guiraudi is a must-see about love that explores the boundaries.
Just like in l'Inconnu du Lac, he tells a dark, mysterious story. A returned stranger in a forgotten French village evokes old desires. Is it about company, love or sex? #IFFR #gaymovie

Today my first films of International Film Festival Rotterdam 2025. As usual, I also selected some queer films based on the short, cryptic texts from the program. My first was ¡Homofobia! by Argentinian director Goyo Anchou. #IFFR #gaymovie

With Folsom, a trip to the former women's prison The Knast is always worthwhile. The fetish art is not always good, but often interesting. #folsom #fetishart

A beautiful exposition in the Amsterdam Stedelijk Museum with works of the gay Chinese American painter Martin Wong (1946-1999). A must see about racism, flower power and urban life.
