Nanami Kento/Reader (no pronouns) + Sex Toys
My first submission for @ficsforgaza's kinktober event. I'm so happy to have been able to create for this event!
summary: Nanami likes to window shop.
word count: 563
warnings: discussion of sex toys, daydreams of sex acts (bondage, edging, gagging
Tumblr media
People always used their work computers for online shopping while on the clock. It was misuse of company property; but considering how hard he worked, Nanami wasn’t above using company property during a break time. It was well past seven and he was the only person still on the floor, so opening an incognito browser and typing in one of his favorite websites to peruse when he was bored took minimal consideration. 
He wasn’t intending to buy anything this time, he already had a shipment in transit, but browsing and adding to his wish list never hurt anything. 
Today was the day that the front page got updated, and he already knew that there was supposed to be a new product coming in this quarter, so to see a His & Hers Love Kit in its new home on the featured wheel wasn’t a surprise - but he was certainly intrigued. If it was just a dildo and a plug, that’d be one thing he could scroll by without caring. But this was different.
All he can think of when he sees the array of toys included in this kit was you; fluffy white handcuffs holding your hands behind your back, mouth spread open by a ring gag, a spreader bar keeping those sometimes uncooperative legs wide open for him.Then he’d pick up that tiny remote, and his ears would be blessed with your sweet moans and attempts at begging for him to stop teasing and fuck you. And he would, but after the remote controlled vibrator did its job and he got to edge you for a while.
Those handcuffs were padded, fluffy, they’d fit snugly around his wrists and he wouldn’t have to worry about his skin getting dug into or rubbed wrong by the metal. The plug in this kit he’d need a bit of training for, but he could practically see your face as you worked it in - if you let him see you at all. There was a blindfold and you did think he was cute all tied up with no idea where exactly you were. The only thing he couldn’t quite picture was where the paddle would come into play, since impact play wasn’t really his thing. Spanking was fine, the skin-to-skin contact made it easier for him to control his strength - he felt like he lost that control with an object.
This must have been what you had been so excited about when you had texted earlier asking if he’d checked the website, and why you requested a report back when he did so you could compare notes. Now it was time for him to report back, since he knew without a doubt that this kit was what had caught your eye.
‘Kit looks good. Not sure about the paddle though’
If this was what you wanted, he could find someone who wanted the paddle, or you would do what you did with the last one and repurpose it. This one was black, so the charcuterie board was off the table but you had also mentioned a photo holder so he’d leave it up to your imagination. 
‘Paddle? My concern was the tail.’
Tail? There wasn’t a-
“Oh, this is just BDSM night. There are options.”
What was meant to be a fifteen minute break was certainly getting extended - he had more research to do, after all.

Prometheus Gave the Gift of Fire to Mankind. We Can't Give it Back, nor Should We.
AI. Artificial intelligence. Large Language Models. Learning Algorithms. Deep Learning. Generative Algorithms. Neural Networks. This technology has many names, and has been a polarizing topic in numerous communities online. By my observation, a lot of the discussion is either solely focused on A) how to profit off it or B) how to get rid of it and/or protect yourself from it. But to me, I feel both of these perspectives apply a very narrow usage lens on something that's more than a get rich quick scheme or an evil plague to wipe from the earth.
This is going to be long, because as someone whose degree is in psych and computer science, has been a teacher, has been a writing tutor for my younger brother, and whose fiance works in freelance data model training... I have a lot to say about this.
I'm going to address the profit angle first, because I feel most people in my orbit (and in related orbits) on Tumblr are going to agree with this: flat out, the way AI is being utilized by large corporations and tech startups -- scraping mass amounts of visual and written works without consent and compensation, replacing human professionals in roles from concept art to story boarding to screenwriting to customer service and more -- is unethical and damaging to the wellbeing of people, would-be hires and consumers alike. It's wasting energy having dedicated servers running nonstop generating content that serves no greater purpose, and is even pressing on already overworked educators because plagiarism just got a very new, harder to identify younger brother that's also infinitely more easy to access.
In fact, ChatGPT is such an issue in the education world that plagiarism-detector subscription services that take advantage of how overworked teachers are have begun paddling supposed AI-detectors to schools and universities. Detectors that plainly DO NOT and CANNOT work, because the difference between "A Writer Who Writes Surprisingly Well For Their Age" is indistinguishable from "A Language Replicating Algorithm That Followed A Prompt Correctly", just as "A Writer Who Doesn't Know What They're Talking About Or Even How To Write Properly" is indistinguishable from "A Language Replicating Algorithm That Returned Bad Results". What's hilarious is that the way these "detectors" work is also run by AI.
(to be clear, I say plagiarism detectors like TurnItIn.com and such are predatory because A) they cost money to access advanced features that B) often don't work properly or as intended with several false flags, and C) these companies often are super shady behind the scenes; TurnItIn for instance has been involved in numerous lawsuits over intellectual property violations, as their services scrape (or hopefully scraped now) the papers submitted to the site without user consent (or under coerced consent if being forced to use it by an educator), which it uses in can use in its own databases as it pleases, such as for training the AI detecting AI that rarely actually detects AI.)
The prevalence of visual and lingustic generative algorithms is having multiple, overlapping, and complex consequences on many facets of society, from art to music to writing to film and video game production, and even in the classroom before all that, so it's no wonder that many disgruntled artists and industry professionals are online wishing for it all to go away and never come back. The problem is... It can't. I understand that there's likely a large swath of people saying that who understand this, but for those who don't: AI, or as it should more properly be called, generative algorithms, didn't just show up now (they're not even that new), and they certainly weren't developed or invented by any of the tech bros peddling it to megacorps and the general public.
Long before ChatGPT and DALL-E came online, generative algorithms were being used by programmers to simulate natural processes in weather models, shed light on the mechanics of walking for roboticists and paleontologists alike, identified patterns in our DNA related to disease, aided in complex 2D and 3D animation visuals, and so on. Generative algorithms have been a part of the professional world for many years now, and up until recently have been a general force for good, or at the very least a force for the mundane. It's only recently that the technology involved in creating generative algorithms became so advanced AND so readily available, that university grad students were able to make the publicly available projects that began this descent into madness.
Does anyone else remember that? That years ago, somewhere in the late 2010s to the beginning of the 2020s, these novelty sites that allowed you to generate vague images from prompts, or generate short stylistic writings from a short prompt, were popping up with University URLs? Oftentimes the queues on these programs were hours long, sometimes eventually days or weeks or months long, because of how unexpectedly popular this concept was to the general public. Suddenly overnight, all over social media, everyone and their grandma, and not just high level programming and arts students, knew this was possible, and of course, everyone wanted in. Automated art and writing, isn't that neat? And of course, investors saw dollar signs. Simply scale up the process, scrape the entire web for data to train the model without advertising that you're using ALL material, even copyrighted and personal materials, and sell the resulting algorithm for big money. As usual, startup investors ruin every new technology the moment they can access it.
To most people, it seemed like this magic tech popped up overnight, and before it became known that the art assets on later models were stolen, even I had fun with them. I knew how learning algorithms worked, if you're going to have a computer make images and text, it has to be shown what that is and then try and fail to make its own until it's ready. I just, rather naively as I was still in my early 20s, assumed that everything was above board and the assets were either public domain or fairly licensed. But when the news did came out, and when corporations started unethically implementing "AI" in everything from chatbots to search algorithms to asking their tech staff to add AI to sliced bread, those who were impacted and didn't know and/or didn't care where generative algorithms came from wanted them GONE. And like, I can't blame them. But I also quietly acknowledged to myself that getting rid of a whole technology is just neither possible nor advisable. The cat's already out of the bag, the genie has left its bottle, the Pandorica is OPEN. If we tried to blanket ban what people call AI, numerous industries involved in making lives better would be impacted. Because unfortunately the same tool that can edit selfies into revenge porn has also been used to identify cancer cells in patients and aided in decoding dead languages, among other things.
When, in Greek myth, Prometheus gave us the gift of fire, he gave us both a gift and a curse. Fire is so crucial to human society, it cooks our food, it lights our cities, it disposes of waste, and it protects us from unseen threats. But fire also destroys, and the same flame that can light your home can burn it down. Surely, there were people in this mythic past who hated fire and all it stood for, because without fire no forest would ever burn to the ground, and surely they would have called for fire to be given back, to be done away with entirely. Except, there was no going back. The nature of life is that no new element can ever be undone, it cannot be given back.
So what's the way forward, then? Like, surely if I can write a multi-paragraph think piece on Tumblr.com that next to nobody is going to read because it's long as sin, about an unpopular topic, and I rarely post original content anyway, then surely I have an idea of how this cyberpunk dystopia can be a little less.. Dys. Well I do, actually, but it's a long shot. Thankfully, unlike business majors, I actually had to take a cyber ethics course in university, and I actually paid attention. I also passed preschool where I learned taking stuff you weren't given permission to have is stealing, which is bad. So the obvious solution is to make some fucking laws to limit the input on data model training on models used for public products and services. It's that simple. You either use public domain and licensed data only or you get fined into hell and back and liable to lawsuits from any entity you wronged, be they citizen or very wealthy mouse conglomerate (suing AI bros is the only time Mickey isn't the bigger enemy). And I'm going to be honest, tech companies are NOT going to like this, because not only will it make doing business more expensive (boo fucking hoo), they'd very likely need to throw out their current trained datasets because of the illegal components mixed in there. To my memory, you can't simply prune specific content from a completed algorithm, you actually have to redo rhe training from the ground up because the bad data would be mixed in there like gum in hair. And you know what, those companies deserve that. They deserve to suffer a punishment, and maybe fold if they're young enough, for what they've done to creators everywhere. Actually, laws moving forward isn't enough, this needs to be retroactive. These companies need to be sued into the ground, honestly.
So yeah, that's the mess of it. We can't unlearn and unpublicize any technology, even if it's currently being used as a tool of exploitation. What we can do though is demand ethical use laws and organize around the cause of the exclusive rights of individuals to the content they create. The screenwriter's guild, actor's guild, and so on already have been fighting against this misuse, but given upcoming administration changes to the US, things are going to get a lot worse before thet get a little better. Even still, don't give up, have clear and educated goals, and focus on what you can do to affect change, even if right now that's just individual self-care through mental and physical health crises like me.

I haven't been online as much recently. I've been trying to do things off of my phone when I can and really filter what I see and interact with on the internet.
I've been with friends and my partner, and my mom and my brother.
I went to a cabin in the middle of nowhere for days, and swam and played volleyball and board games. A butterfly landed on my finger. I'd always wanted that to happen, and that butterfly chose to perch on my hand when I offered it.
And I went to the beach with many loved ones and watched the waves gracefully hit the rocks. I felt the mist on my skin and heard the soft dance of the ocean.
I swam and paddle boarded at a lake with my best friends, then we got burgers and milkshakes and we got high and went to the nearby park at midnight. The hair felt so good on my skin as I swung on the swing set. We could see the stars that night.
There is so much beauty in the world. So much life to live, sights to see, and love to give and receive. While the internet is also beautiful for many reasons, and has given me so many close friends, many of us aren't seeing the outside world as much anymore in this very very digital age.
Go and touch some grass. Literally! You will have so many memories and beautiful sensory experiences.

Paddleboard Adventures: Embracing the Kayak Experience
Paddleboarding and kayaking are two water sports that offer enthusiasts a unique blend of adventure, exercise, and tranquility. While both sports have their distinct characteristics, paddle boards have become popular in recent years. This blog delves into various aspects of paddle boards, including purchasing options, pricing, and the benefits of a paddle board set, providing a comprehensive guide for both beginners and seasoned water adventurers.
Paddle Board: A Versatile Watercraft
Paddle boards are highly versatile and suitable for many activities, from leisurely paddling to intense workouts. Unlike kayaks, paddle boards allow riders to stand, sit, or even lie down while paddling, offering a different perspective and a more engaging full-body workout. They are ideal for exploring calm waters, practicing yoga, or even catching small waves in the ocean. Their stability and ease of use make them perfect for all, making the experience enjoyable and accessible.
Paddle Board Online: Convenience at Your Fingertips
In today’s digital age, purchasing a paddle board online has never been easier. Online shopping platforms provides a vast selection of paddle boards catering to different needs and preferences. When you buy a paddle board online, you can easily compare different brands, read reviews, and find the best deals without leaving the comfort of your home. Additionally, online stores often provide detailed product descriptions, including specifications and customer ratings, helping you make an informed decision.
Paddle Board Price: What to Expect
The paddle board price can vary significantly based on several factors, including brand, material, size, and additional features. Entry-level paddle boards made from inflatable or foam materials are generally more affordable, ranging from $200 to $600. High-end models, constructed from durable and lightweight materials like fiberglass or carbon fiber, can cost between $800 and $1,500 or more. When considering the paddle board price, it’s essential to balance your budget with the quality and durability of the board to ensure a worthwhile investment.
Shop Paddle Board: Finding the Right Fit
When you decide to shop paddle board, it’s crucial to consider where and how you’ll use it. For instance, if you plan to paddle on calm lakes or rivers, a broader and more stable board would be ideal. Conversely, for ocean paddling or surfing, a narrower and more maneuverable board is preferable. Visiting specialty shops allows you to physically inspect and test different models, providing a hands-on experience that online shopping cannot offer. Additionally, expert staff can offer valuable advice and recommendations based on your specific needs.
Paddle Board Set: All-in-One Convenience
Purchasing a paddle board set can be an excellent choice for beginners or those looking to upgrade their gear. A paddle board set typically includes the board itself, an adjustable paddle, a leash, a pump (for inflatable models), and a carrying bag. This all-in-one package makes sure you have everything you need to get started and can often be more cost effective than buying all item separately. Moreover, sets are designed to ensure that all components work well together, enhancing your overall paddling experience.
Conclusion
Incorporating a paddle board into your water adventures offers numerous benefits, from improving physical fitness to providing a unique way to explore nature. Whether you are purchasing a paddle board online or visiting a store to shop paddle boards in person, understanding the factors that influence paddle board prices and the advantages of buying a complete paddle board set can help you make the best choice. Embrace the thrill of paddleboarding and elevate your water sports experience with Adventure-HQ, your trusted partner in outdoor adventures.

Unfurling the Waves: The Revolutionary Tech Behind Inflatable Paddleboards & Kayaks
The world of water sports is undergoing a significant transformation, and at the heart of it lies the remarkable evolution of inflatable paddleboards and kayaks. No longer are these vessels considered mere toys or flimsy alternatives; instead, they’ve become sophisticated pieces of sporting equipment, boasting cutting-edge technology that rivals their rigid counterparts. The innovations we're seeing aren't just about convenience; they're about expanding access to waterways, enabling more people to enjoy the freedom of paddling, and redefining what’s possible on the water. We’re witnessing a true renaissance, fuelled by ground-breaking innovative inflatable tech.
Advancements in material science and construction techniques primarily drive this revolution. High-density drop-stitch technology, where thousands of threads internally connect the top and bottom layers, enables extremely high inflation pressures, resulting in remarkable rigidity and stability. This makes today's inflatable paddleboards and kayaks far more resistant to flexing and far more capable of handling various water conditions than ever before. For those looking to acquire reliable and versatile gear, a whole new world of Online Water Sport Accessories has opened up. The compromise between performance and portability is effectively eliminated.
Beyond the internal structure, the design of these watercraft is becoming incredibly refined. The shapes, rocker profiles, and fin systems are meticulously engineered to maximize glide, tracking, and manoeuvrability. Whether you’re paddling serene lakes or tackling choppy coastal waters, the latest inflatables deliver a surprisingly efficient and enjoyable experience. For day trips, be sure you have the right gear and always keep your valuables protected. A reliable Waterproof Beach Bag is paramount for safely stowing away your phone, keys, sunscreen and any other personal belongings while you enjoy your time on the water. These bags are made from robust waterproof material, ensuring they’ll withstand splashes and keep your belongings dry.
Furthermore, the evolution of inflation and deflation systems adds another layer of convenience. High-efficiency hand pumps now make setup relatively quick, and electric pumps are increasingly popular, further streamlining the process. Proper storage and travel of your gear is essential to preserve its integrity and increase its longevity. A durable Waterproof Duffel Bag is a must-have for those who frequently travel to various water locations with their boards or kayaks. Constructed from waterproof fabrics with reinforced seams and watertight closures, these bags guarantee your equipment stays dry and protected on all journeys.
But the improvements don't stop at the basics. We're also seeing a growing integration of smart technologies. Integrated mounts for action cameras allow paddlers to effortlessly capture their adventures. Some boards now include GPS tracking systems, which enable paddlers to monitor their speed, distance, and route. There's also a move towards personalization, with options for customized fin setups, adjustable foot straps, and variable deck pad configurations, providing the perfect fit for every user and allowing paddlers to further fine-tune their experience.
The benefits of this technological leap are far-reaching. The convenience of inflatable paddleboards and kayaks expands opportunities for paddling adventures for anyone with limited storage space or a desire to travel to remote areas. Unlike solid boards, inflatable alternatives can withstand bumps and knocks without cracking or denting, making them ideal for beginners and Additionally, inflatables are sometimes less expensive, which opens up the activity to a wider audience.  They also lend themselves to a wide array of accessories, which means it is important to invest in good carrying and storage solutions.
Moreover, a growing commitment to sustainability is influencing the industry, leading to the development of eco-friendly inflatable watercraft. Brands are actively exploring and adopting recycled plastics, bio-based polymers, and other sustainable materials, reflecting a strong environmental consciousness. This is essential for preserving the very waterways that we love to explore, ensuring they remain pristine for generations to come. The developments we see in inflatable paddleboards and kayaks are therefore not simply about gear; they represent an expanding movement of people connecting with the water and its conservation.
Looking ahead, the future of inflatable water sports equipment is filled with promise. The pace of innovation shows no sign of slowing down, with new advancements on the horizon. From advanced materials to more ergonomic designs, the evolution of inflatable paddleboards and kayaks will continue to transform the way we interact with our waterways. What used to be a niche market is quickly taking over as the preferred option. The increased portability and durability allow for easier transport and storage, which makes exploring the world’s waterways a more appealing prospect for all.
The progress in inflatable paddleboard and kayak technology represents not only a marked improvement in the performance and design of the gear but also greater opportunities for enjoying the aquatic world. The combination of convenience, improved performance, and reasonable costs makes these watercrafts a fantastic option for anyone eager to enjoy the freedom of being on the water. As part of Skog Å Kust's mission to encourage outdoor exploration and adventure, we recognize and celebrate the transformative role of technology in making water sports accessible to all.

Images have appeared online of Barack Obama golfing that have people raising questions. He wears bandages on his left (dominant) hand and may or may not have a small wound under his left eye, depending on who you ask. Here’s a post from Twitter:

Michael looks like he's putting on some weight.
The images, which came from an article on Daily Mail, clearly show the bandages and have people speculating about the dark spot that appears to be on his face. The latter is questionable; certainly he either wouldn’t come out in public or would wear makeup if they were trying to hide something suspicious but who knows?
Tumblr media
All of this comes days after his sous chef, Tafari Campbell, was found dead. According to The Gateway Pundit:
Dressed in a green polo shirt and white shorts, Barack Obama was seen engaged in a round of golf at the exclusive Vineyard Golf Club. The former president, noticeably bearing bandaged fingers, which causes speculations online. Citizen journalist Travis of Flint, Michigan wrote, “just days after his personal chef and friend died in a very mysterious paddle boarding accident, Barack Obama appears to have injured fingers and a black eye. We still don’t know who the other person was and Obama loves paddle boarding. I think we can all guess what happened at this point!” … The reason for the tragic death of Tafari Campbell remains a mystery. The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Martha’s Vineyard law enforcement appears to have left a significant void in the details surrounding the tragic drowning of Obama’s private chef, Tafari Campbell.
The Obamas aren’t the Clintons who have racked up a huge list of people close to them who have died mysteriously. Then again, perhaps the Obamas are just much better at covering their tracks.
I'd really love to know more about this but the Obama Ass Kissing Media (OAKM) will never cover it.

favourite casual pastime is googling different courses and jobs because I can see the different versions of myself forming in the future. online courses to be a screenwriter with a panel of people, on set, staying up all night to get the redraft done. travelling to Dublin to get my qualification as a paddle board instructor with a killer tan and strong arms and more energy than I'd ever had before, meeting lots of new people and shivering in a wetsuit when it rains. sea hair, health. barista clocking out at 5pm with arm tattoos and highlights and a caffeine dependency, working close to home and liking the people I work with, having time to take night classes in German. living in an ashram in India for 28 days to wake up at 6am and meditate and practice yoga and receive a certificate when it's all over, coming home to teach classes in clean studios in Belfast.
