They needed to play a lot of tonsil hockey to break the seal on the emotional vulnerability exchange.

And it was pretty clear that the women were the main hockey strategists trying to get them out there.

A sweet grassy smell dances elegantly along the air. It's a nice muted hemp. You inhale deeply to savor the taste, and release it with a long slow breath. You open your eyes to find yourself still in your enclosure. You don't often get the smells from your little tours, so it's definitely a notable experience already.

You're being asked... something, but it's difficult to parse the voice in your thoughts. Maybe you need to figure out the question as well this time? You look out the clear window of your enclosure, and find yourself intrigued by the featured tie... Continued in the #AltText

I especially liked this particular tying session. It was after a round table discussion on connective rope. While we didn't do a connective rope scene at the time, it did help create a good headspace for the intentional tie.

This is commonly known as a "Fisherman's Harness." Some also refer to it as a "Fishbone Harness" but this is not as widely known. A lot of the time when there's extra rope, folx will add a stem down the middle of the front and anchor it to a hip harness. I didn't have as much natural colored rope at the time and I liked the vibe I had going so opted for a different approach. Cuffing the hands was a perk to prevent the subject from being able to slide arms out as easily.

This particular harness is top of the list for prospective rope bottoms with small fiber neuropathy or some other types of nerve and/or circulation issues. It's safe for suspension as well as long as the appropriate anchor points are used.

It's hard to say if the phone will even have such a lens, so I can't exactly say. Macro lenses and wide lenses tend to be more likely to have a flat field of focus if that's helpful?

Some camera apps implement the Camera2 API and let you manually tweak certain settings. I think OpenCamera exists for Android and Camera+2 for iOS. They might also have a mode for "focus stacking" where it will take pictures at slightly different focal lengths and then merge them with post processing. This is partially how the Google Camera app does it when using the "Scan Document" setting (it also does a simple perspective transform)

I assume you mean rectangular? Basically right angles instead of trapezoids.

It depends on the focal length of the phone lens being used. Many camera lenses have field curvature which means one side of the lens will focus at a closer distance than a different side of the lens. Not great for document "scanning". A flat field of focus is what you want, ideally.

You are right that squaring it off and moving back and forth is theoretically the better way to do it. It's best if they can actually select the lense manually (often in "Pro" settings) or trying with different zoom levels to change the focal length.

Lighting wise, it's best to have two separate points of light on either side of the camera. I don't think precise angling of them is required unless you're trying to do studio type scanning of artifacts which is much more involved.

"sexual material harmful to minors" is deliberately vague. The conservatives have been forcefully labeling queer people as harmful to minors and sexualizing our basic existence.

This restrictiveness issue is now another avenue they have to suppress our existence, our speech, and our ability to connect to the public.

It's especially damning juxtaposed with the Maryland case of letting parents opt their kids out of any discussions that might involve a queer person even if the actual lesson has nothing to do with the fact they are queer. It's enforcing erasure from history books, science books, etc. Medical school barely teaches people about healthcare needs for LGBTQIA people, and we are the ones that suffer from the consequences.

*deep breaths*

I could go on, but I'm preaching to the choir. Thanks for letting me vent a little. :neobot_sign_asterisks:
