capitalism is not meeting my needs rn

[kat_lair]

***

There are days (today, today is one of those fucking days) when I would like to live in a bdsm!AU or at least have a bdsm club nearby. Just want to go somewhere where someone would serve me a drink and kneel prettily for a bit without any further expectation. I don't want a play party rn, I want someone to genuflect a bit and call me with a title and look enthralled while I stroke their hair.  Why is that too much to ask?

This post is brought to you by: cancelled dinner plans, too much work, general level of irritation, patriarchy.

All of that sucks, especially patriarchy. And cancelled dinner plans. And too much work. And general irritation. Okay, I'm back to ALL of it. Not sure if hugs will meet any of your current needs, but if welcome *all the hugs*

[kat_lair]

Hugs are always welcome. Striking today so off to the picket line to deal with some of this...

[definitely_not_an_alb]

Oh mood and same. Hope the bs lets up at least a little for you soon.

[kat_lair]

Right? Why has this not been catered for? I've got four days off work now which helps (striking)

[turps]

So much suck all at once.

I hope you get some downtime and relaxation soon.

[kat_lair]

It hasn't even objectively been the suckiest day or week, just a bit ugh as the semester is catching up with me. Striking and on picket line this morning so ✊

[belleweather]

Human, YES. I've just had one of those moments where work fucked everything up. I know that eventually it will sort itself out, but for the moment I'm stuck and tired and annoyed and I just want to kneel and not have to think for a while while it does. *sigh*

[kat_lair]

The theme of 'work fucks things up and people are stuck sorting it' is depressingly familiar. Hope the impact is as minimal on you as possible.

And exactly, BDSM au is so tempting because it builds these opportunities into everyday life and readily available without it needing like fucking special arrangements.

*HUGS*

All these things suck. :(

[kat_lair]

Going to process some of it on the picket line today so 🤷🏼‍♀️

[wpadmirer]

Sorry you're feeling so irritated! Hope things get better.

[kat_lair]

Better in sense of four days of no work, tho other stuff keeps cropping up

[corvidology]

... This seems like a missed business opportunity.

I hope the end of the week/the weekend pick up for you. ♥

[kat_lair]

Ikr, sadly don't think it's one people are rushing to fulfill either.

Outlook variable. Strike days mean no work but other stuff is also crowding for attention...

[apiphile]

:( VERY rude that the universe is not providing you with this right now.

[kat_lair]

Ikr, surely we could convert like 10% of pubs to venues catering for other types of interest.

[apiphile]

And there's so many empty shops now! So many potential kink venues! C'mon!

Much appreciated 💜💜

*hugs*

[kat_lair]

Thank you 💜💜

[athenejen]

Agh, sounds like a very frustrating day.

I wish for you to have something like you describe, something simple and soothing! It sucks that when we need things the most is at those times when it's hardest to muster up the resources to actually get them. *hugs*

[kat_lair]

Yesterday was a good day of picket line and shopping, today it's cleaning and unexpected vet visit so... Outlook variable I'd say.

Hugs are welcome 💜

[alafaye]

Oh Mood.

[kat_lair]

Right? Extremely sad that this cannot be a reality.

[dreamersdare]

Thing is, I refuse to believe that there aren't also people who are like "oh my god, why, why is there not somewhere I can just kneel at someone's feet and hand over the reins for a little bit without any kind of expectations so I can just Not Have To Deal With This Bullshit For A Bit"

This is an untapped market.

(I hope you've managed to drain off some of that irritation by now hon)

[kat_lair]

I suspect that you are VERY RIGHT ABOUT THAT. Sadly, I can't even imagine how difficult establishing that kind of place would be.

I did at the time but today I am in absolute foul mood :(
