⚠️ Content Warning: Includes topics of kink and sexuality. Not suitable for children or young teens. ⚠️ So the Spring 2026 Roundup is here a bit early! I'm posting only this piece for the time being, since I have the opportunity to share this with my class and I'd like to provide a blog link for that. I'll publish everything else I wrote/will write this semester in May, as per my usual schedule.…
⚠️ Content Warning: Includes topics of kink and sexuality. Not suitable for children or young teens. ⚠️ So I have to take a number of communications courses for my degree, and this semester, I took one on interpersonal communication. And this has been very convenient, because interpersonal communication is the backbone of kink and BDSM. For this piece, I had to analyse an interpersonal interaction…
I wrote several essays this fall That may be of interest to y'all I'll post one a week 'Til there's none left to speak Starting tomorrow at nightfall TL;DR: Fall 2025 Roundup is here! ~Auk
⚠️ Content Warning: Depictions/discussions of death and violence ⚠️ I laid there, bloodied, on the floor As I took my final breath I was made a fugitive For existing as myself Right before my time of death My life flashed before my eyes What had happened, what had not, My hopes and dreams' demise I'd hoped to make a better world It was my whole lifestance But that world chose to murder me Before…
As much as I enjoy—and also despise (it's a love-hate relationship)—academic writing, I really need to branch out a bit from that sort of thing. In this piece, I wanted to discuss gender, and guide you, the reader, down the rabbithole I went down while thinking about gender, what it is, how it applies to me, and its greater ramifications on society. What is gender? Conservatives would like you to…
⚠️ Content Warning: Includes not-safe-for-work content, and a few slurs. Not suitable for children or young teens. ⚠️ Microsoft Windows is the most widely-used desktop operating system. Whether in enterprise IT environments to consumer-grade computers, it probably runs Windows. And its market dominance is for good reason. 10: Game Compatibility Windows boasts an unprecedented level of support for…
⚠️ Content Warning: Includes topics of kink and sexuality. Not suitable for children or young teens. ⚠️ So in terms of my academic journey within the realm of kink and BDSM, I’ve recently been in this state where I don’t know where to go. I’ve already written two formal essays about kink and BDSM (for actual classes, mind you), both of which are argumentative in nature. I still would like to…
⚠️ Content Warning: Includes topics of kink and sexuality. Not suitable for children or young teens. ⚠️ So this past semester, I had another opportunity to write about whatever I wanted to, and so I took that opportunity to once again write about BDSM. Last time, I wrote about it in terms of kink at Pride, and so logically, my next idea for a BDSM-related opinion piece was to broaden the scope to…
Docker (the containerised application thingy) is a rather nice tool for hosting services that I’ve come to really appreciate. It’s allowed me to wipe and restart my Nextcloud instance from scratch in a day. It’s also allowed me to easily transfer all of my applications and the data they need to run between computers when migrating servers. I don’t have to go hunting for config files or even need…
So when I initially read through the instructions for the assignment I wrote this for, I fucking dreaded it. While I’m mostly okay at writing, I’m especially not great at writing fiction. I, of course, procrastinated on it, and I’ve been backed into the corner at the intersection of ‘Not Having Started’ and ‘It Being Midnight On The Due Date’. So I wrote this: “Hey babe~,” Luna flirted as she…
