My biggest pet peeve is restaurants/gigs/events or venues of any kind which have a social media page instead of a website. I don't have fucking instagram, so I literally can't see your menu/lineup? Even if I had instagram, it's an entirely inaccessible format so would be fucking useless? These platforms are for promotion, not for hosting vital information.

Fuck BlueSky, fuck Threads, I wrote a little thing about why I'm hurling all my eggs into Mastodon's basket.

https://www.girlonthenet.com/blog/mastodon/ Mostly written so I have an excuse to tell people on Twitter to stop DMing/@-ing important stuff to me, because it'll be easier to step away if I'm not constantly worried that my absence will make someone... Mad At Me.

Just wanna say, team: fuck Bluesky and Twitter. The support I get for my work here on Masto is so much better. There’s a culture of boosting stuff we love and I appreciate it so much, as a creative person who relies on shares to bring in new readers and ultimately pay my bills, and invoices from other creative people. Thank you ❤️

One of my favourite things about Mastodon is the niche creativity you get to see - when things aren’t determined by an algorithm, your creative projects don’t need to be understood or approved of by a majority in order for me to actually see them in my timeline. So I get lots of random fun art projects, knitting projects, unusual erotica, creative photography, nerds building cool things with wires. Love it. Cheers me right up, thanks Fedi ❤️

My friend just told me of a genius idea: her friend & partner have a secret signal for when they have guests. If one of them makes themselves a hot drink in a specific mug, that means ‘I grow weary of company, please help guests out of the door.’

It's in the interests of predatory men to make us believe that younger women are more desirable than older ones purely because of their looks.

In fact, it's also about compliance. Younger women are less likely to tell awful men to go fuck themselves.

It takes time and experience to be able to stand up to terrible men. I still don't think I'm great at it, and I'm nearly 40. When I was 18? No fucking chance.

NEW blog: men sometimes offer me 'help' with things that they themselves would be horrified to imagine handing over to a borderline stranger. But it's OK for me to hand it over! I'm just a silly little woman.

In the light of the documentary/article/revelations about [INSERT NAME OF LATEST PREDATORY MAN], I have made note of a few phrases that I’d love to never hear again in the context of rape and sexual assault.

“Shocked and appalled”
"We should teach consent classes!"
"I dated him/married him/met him once in a Costco and he didn’t rape ME!"

NEW blog, which (if I'm honest) is mostly an excuse for me to say 'I did this hot thing at the start of a shag and it went down really well, so you should try it too if you fancy.'

[Post itself - and the rest of this image - is a bit NSFW]

https://www.girlonthenet.com/blog/fucktips-hairband-trick/ If you like it, please do boost - I rely on boosts so much to keep the blog/audio project going.

And if you have tricks like this of your own, DEFINITELY share in replies so I can try 'em too. #SexBlog #SexTips

New blog.

It's not nice, but it's not particularly unusual either.

CN: rape.

Note the intro/outro: do not try to guess who this is. I promise if you think you know, you're wrong, and if you try to guess I will block you immediately.

Big uptick in new people here from Twitter - WELCOME PALS, I hope you enjoy it here as much as I do.

For those unfamiliar with the fediverse, the most important thing to note is that favs do absolutely nothing to help me pay my bills. Please boost my toots. Feel free to mock the way that sounds till you're blue in the face, as long as you still boost my toots.

My toots: boost them.

OK, please share this if you can: UK users of #Payoneer (which I know lots of us use for #Patreon payouts!) - a change in regulation or sthing means many UK users need to re-submit identity documents to receive payouts from Jan 1st. If you haven't received your Patreon payout this might be why. Upload your docs, call Payoneer customer services on +44-203-608-0610 https://payoneer.com/customer-disclosures-and-complaints/?_ga=2.65338285.2012463153.1704794931-1394640955.1704794931 and they can put a rush on your approval process if you need the money quickly.

Currently in the 2 hour wait to get an X-ray and a lady asks the receptionist, in a grumpy voice, “why is it so long???”

Mate, it’s long because the Tories have been in power for well over a decade, not because this specific NHS receptionist has a fetish for staring at queues. Chill.

LTNs: they’re cheap, effective, and broadly popular. But some very vocal pricks hate them, so you’re not getting any more. 😡

Because it's #InternationalWomensDay, every woman is allowed to propose one (1) new law. It must be a silly, low-stakes one which has little impact on society other than to solve one of your pet peeves.

Mine is: 'make it illegal to illustrate articles about female pleasure with photos of someone fingering a piece of fruit.'

WOMEN: what's yours?

Mastodon! One of the things I love about you is that you're filled with people who are creative and sexy. Would any of you have a fun/hot story you'd like to share as a guest blog?

I pay £20 per piece (which I know isn't loads, sorry about that), and they get published on Fridays.

I have a strong love for true sex stories, especially first times. Can be anything from playfully teasing to full-on filth. Non-fiction ideally, but fiction OK too...

https://www.girlonthenet.com/guest-blogs/ Pls share!

YES! I love this! Eliza Rose Watson - that OnlyFans model who took out billboard advertising and gathered tonnes of complaints - won the ad dispute!

Are you a woman? Do you have some shit to say? I've got no guest blog for this week, on 8th March (international women's day). Pitch me...

https://www.girlonthenet.com/guest-blogs/

Guest blogs especially welcome from trans women, gay women, women over 50, disabled women, women who have kinks that I don't normally talk about on the blog, and basically any women who have different perspectives/experience to me. All women welcome, though. WOMEN. NEVER KNOW YOUR LIMITS.
