[this actually happened to me, in 2019]

Cute girl: So. Before we proceed. How do you feel about Marx?
Me (nervous): Umm look I guess I'm a socialist but I don't really know enough about the political theory behind it
Her: ...
Me: I'm sorry
Her: ...
Her: Marks. Can I leave marks on your skin

@RADC @arborelia You have nothing to lose but your chains.

*or gain. Kink-shaming isn’t really part of the socialist dialectic.

@gorfram @arborelia A bit of a deep dive it seems apropos “For Andrew Vincent, ‘socialism' finds its root in the Latin sociare, which means to combine or to share. The related, more technical term in Roman and then medieval law was societas. This latter word could mean companionship and fellowship as well as the more legalistic idea of a consensual contract between freemen". Kinky stuff

@arborelia @memory

Scene: a room at my small liberal arts college in the early '90s. My friends Spence and Topher, boyfriends, lazing in bed together.

Spence: "You need me."
Topher: "You know, it's true, I really do. Maybe I don't say that enough out loud, but I want you to know that I feel it often."
Spence: "..."
Topher: "..."
Spence: "No, I mean you kneed me. Just now. In the balls."
