Hey! To get back to your point:

If you're looking for in-home equipment, you'll likely have to drop big cash for something that can hold your weight. If you're willing to spend about a grand you can easily find something that suits you. Keep in mind that it's not just the equipment but also form and correct wear for using them. EG if you invest in a treadmill you will need quality running shoes fitted for your gait and foot orientation (Even if you just walk, trust me!). If you get a bike, shorts and clips are a godsend. etc.

If budget is a concern, most affordable home-friendly products that are budget-conscious generally have a 250-300lb weight limit and it's not worth the gamble of injuring yourself. So if you're still in the weight limit range of those products, it would be fine to get them now to keep yourself in shape, develop form and habit, but be aware you will have to upgrade in the future.

Honestly and truly my best advice is to consult with a trainer. Book them for a few sessions. Take the time to find one that does *not* do weight management (you may even have to go to tiktok/instagram to find the HAES type trainers or search for recs there!). They will be the best suited to evaluate and advise you and you'd be surprised how affordable they can be! There are plenty that will work with you online if staying at home is your top priorty.

Last note about gyms - I know you know the option is there so I won't say much except that regarding the upgraded equipment I mentioned, that's often why people choose to pay for memberships even if they get roped in for a year contract. The equipment is insured, maintained, and built for heavy use and bodies and even a whole years' membership won't touch what even one of those machines cost. Heck if may be an option to try a few gyms out to see what kind of equipment they have so *you* know what to shop for to bring home. They're not all equal!

Did the divorce finalize that fast?

yesssssss! Especially with a boss/subordinate scenario. There was a fantastic story on here with that premise some years ago and totally turned me on to the idea.

I forget the precise role the feedee had in the company but she was caught embezzling. Boss decided to keep her but she had to eat *Everything* she was offered. Everything. It was so hot!

hi merle and exathlete - you may want to re-read unless you meant to respond to another thread or reply that no longer exists. As I stated, I exclusively (eg no switching) play feedee/inflatees in RP. Good luck!

while I don't rewatch the scene for that purpose (from either film) because they depict children, there are many elements from the 1971 one that had quite an impact on me. Wonka's total emotional detachment and cool attitude, the poking, rolling, etc.

"there's no air in there, that's juice!" is a favorite line in any berry scenario for me still!

As others have said, Yellowstone is very tourist friendly. There will be a few places if you want to see certain waterfalls and other vistas that will require going up and down stairs (and they may be slippery).

The rangers are plentiful, visible, accessible, and approachable. If there is one present and you have any questions, follow their advice. Stay on the path and don't take selfies with the bison

Aslo from an ecology and conservation standpoint, very little of Yellowstone is developed and it's to protect the land as-is so it's in everyone's interest to obey all signage and ask ahead if you are unsure if a path is suited for your abilities. But the facilities that exist are great!

I think both of these things can happen. What I would like is the option to prevent contact/messaging from my own preselected population. I am so SO tired if opening the precious few DMs I get to just pure harassment and garbage (that isn't against site rules but is no less misogynist and basically flat out disgusting and annoying to get). invariably these ALWAYS come from accounts that I would never interact with.

I would like to be able to set age limits and account age limits at the very least for those who can contact me.

I am all for having proactive measures. I tire of reactive ones.

Hey! Just wanted to bump this as I'm still open to finding new RP buddies. Same as above!

Also please be advised that as a writer, quality (not necessarily quantity) is not negotiable for me. An understanding of how dialogue should work, how to set up for a response without speaking over/for the play partner, and how to explain what it is you like so we can both enjoy it are required.

So long as I have this thread up I'll be accepting inquiries!

Being part of a marginalized group doesn't make it okay to contribute further to its oppression and/or marginalization... and it's been well-established that you're not.

I find it realllll interesting that people just flat-out ignored a Black woman mentioning that the story fetishizes race.

As a writer, in general, requesting only "positive!!" feedback is not requesting feedback at all and negates the also-requested constructive criticism.

Generally, feedback is more constructive if it is received *before* publication. That's my experience.
