Quick Thoughts
Small thoughts and messages not worthy of their own pages but still something I feel like putting out there. Largely curated and possibly lightly edited from my posts and discussions in the WFM server.

I feel like sharing a short story about a time I was tying up a friend at a small gathering, at least as best as I remember it because this was like 15ish years ago. We were in his living room and I put him in a chest harness and as a demonstration (and because I love yanking someone around by the rope… or being yanked, whatever), pulled him backwards towards me using the rope along his back. He instinctively stepped backwards… onto my foot, bending my big toe back painfully because I was barefoot inside the apartment or in socks or something like that.
I remained calm and controlled and anyone not paying attention didn’t even notice, but a few people who had noticed were a little freaked like “that looked like it hurt” and I was just like “yeah, it did” but didn’t really acknowledge it more than that.
I was in charge of someone else in that moment, keeping my full attention on them, and just kind of compartmentalized the pain away like “can’t deal with this now… will handle in a bit”. I did deal with my foot after he was untied. Thankfully no damage. Probably could have broken something, but it was just really sore for a bit and didn’t even bother me the following day. Which was good because we were going to Folsom Street Fair the next day and that’s a lot of walking.
