this is not for you.

I shouldn’t have to say this but I obviously have to: IF YOU ARE A MINOR DO NOT ENTER!

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR AGE IN YOUR BIO, I WILL BLOCK YOU.

You can call me Kay. 27. They/them. I don’t have breasts, I grow facial hair, I have childbearing hips. This is a queer positive space. This blog started years ago as just a collection of hot things, and now I’m posting more of myself and content.

If you don’t believe that all people deserve food, shelter and base level security then please leave. If I see any racist, homophobic, transphobic, pro-cop, bullshit I will block you.

I sell content, so don’t send or ask for nudes unless you’re prepared to pay $ thank you.

Messages are fine. I find what people say to be interesting. If you send me nonsense, I’ll ignore it lol.

Ok uh.. thanks and stay safe out there.

(I’ll put some links in here later.)

Dreamers

it’s insane how close we are to Halloween 🎃

The important thing about wool is that it continues to keep you warm even when it’s soaking wet.

Other natural fibers don’t do this. In fact, quite the opposite. Campers and boaters are usually familiar with the phrase, “cotton kills.” If you’re wet in cotton or linen, your clothes actually sap heat from your body.

If you sink in a lake in late October like I did today, staying warm is important. I was rescued long before I would’ve actually died, but cold makes your muscles seize up, which isn’t good if you have to swim to land.

Which brings me around to life jackets. If the water’s cold enough, you may only have five-ten minutes until your muscles seize (today I probably had 40-60, more than enough time to get to land if I hadn’t been picked up), and you’ll drown.

In a life jacket, even in extremely cold water, you can float semi-conscious for perhaps another 30 minutes or so before you actually freeze to death, which is usually when someone rescues you.

What’s more, you probably know that moving around on land warms you up. Jumping jacks, jogging in place, etc.

In water, moving actually makes you colder. You need to stay still curled up in a ball, which you can only do in a life jacket.

In wool AND life jacket, you’re warm, and your head’s above water, which is pretty much your only and entire goal.

Yep! A really simple “experiment” I learned as a kid and now use in my own courses is sticking your hand in ice water. Compare moving it around in the water to curling it up in a fist. The contrast is stark!

To increase your survival time in on cold water, you want to curl up! If you’re with others, you want to huddle!
