Is #BodyModification - like #piercings and #tattoos - something only weird people do? Or is it a deep expression of #identity even #Christian communities engage in? Find my answer in this live stream:
Had a fantastic experience buying a couple pairs of #plugs from #BareBonesOrganics recently. Couldn't be happier with 'em, and had to share. Gorgeous craftsmanship, I'll be back. :)
They were kind enough to throw in two extra pairs! In both images, I bought the ones on the left, and received the ones on the right as a gift. My wife prefers the gifted pairs over my choices, go figure.
here's a poll as research for my "isms of #nudism / #naturism" video idea that will highlight the barriers that so many face against participating in nonsexual public nudity, like #ableism #racism #transphobia #sexism anti #tattoo or #bodyModification , economic instability/being poor, and so on. Boosts appreciated!
Please only answer if you identify as a nudist, naturist, or otherwise nonsexual public nudity supporter. Feel free to reply with custom answers as well!
Are you...
New #bookreview: ASA by Jay Crownover, book 6 ends the #MarkedMen series with a whimper. Not my favorite. @jay.crownover @avonbooks @HarperCollins #ReadAvon #HappilyEverAvon

There's an amazing pair of earrings on etsy that I want, and they're only $23.
However, because they're being shipped from the USA, the shipping cost is $33.
I'm in a quandary, because I would pay $56 for these earrings (not happily, but I probably would..) if I found them here, but I also have a personal rule that I refuse to pay more for shipping an item than the item itself costs.
So, do I eat the rule this time and get the earrings? Or do I stand by the rule and do without?

Ok, so, looking over the results of my #Furry / #transhumanism #BodyModification #Poll, I see the following...
187 Users Voted.
08%, 15 respondents, said they would not get any body mods done.** Interesting number, because it implies a little under a tenth of our simulated population is going all-natural. I find it really interesting that this number is the smallest, because it would make un-modded people an effective minority subculture if this poll held true the 2120s.
26%, 49 respondents, said they would get Body Mods that were NOT furry. This would likely mean a range of things from tattoos to cosmetic changes to cybernetics to entirely new parts. It's notable for my writing purposes, because it means I should include more humans with visible mods, and do more fact finding on what those mods would be.
A total of %34, or 64 respondents, would not get furry mods. That means only a third of the simulated population is completely un-furry. Very interesting...
Saw there were still people responding to my above #Poll about #Transhumanism / #BodyModification, and I'd like to get as many responses as possible, #Furry or otherwise, because I'm #writing #SciFi about this, so I tossed a few more hours onto the time.
Please respond and boost!
After deciding it felt right to make a character in #Modders #Jewish, I wanted to do a little bit of digging, because I know #Tattoos and #Piercings aren't considered #kosher, and her whole family has some far more extreme #BodyModification going on. (Furries)
Came across an interesting article which points out that the specific line in the #Torah / #OldTestament, #Leviticus 19:28, is somewhat vague and seems to apply more to 1) not self-mutilating for the dead or an idol, and 2) that God is not asking anyone to self mutilate. Also, when we apply that to the context of things happening at the time, we see some pretty brutal practices, and some pretty severe infection risks. That's sort of vagueness and context is common for Leviticus.
So I wonder if, in a future where these #BodyMods are common, and "Image of God" is not as widely interpreted to be a statement of physical likeness, could the opinion of what is "kosher" in itself be different here?

My #Poll about #Transhumanism / #BodyModification and #Furries for my #SciFi #writing is still going!
If you haven't responded or boosted, please do so: I want a broad range of responses from across the #Fediverse!
#FediPoll time!
Settle my argument that the subculture described in my #Scifi setting of #Modders is not unreasonable...
Imagine you lived in a future where #BodyModification technology was at the point that you could quickly and cheaply get pretty much a full rework of your body, and one of these was a potentially reversible procedure to make you an IRL #Furry by giving you #anthropomorphic #animals features, such as fur, tail, muzzle, etc. Imagine this is mature technology, and normalized enough, that there will be no medical or societal ramifications if you get such modifications.
Do you get the #BodyMods to make you a Furry?
(Please #boost this #poll and respond in the comments: I want to hear what kind of Body Mods you would get, and may use that in my #Writing!)
Edit:
Let's see if anyone else responds in the last 6 24 48 72 hours...
Tochter: "Ehrens großer Bruder sagt, wenn Mädchen so künstliche Brüste haben, und die dann wieder Töchter bekommen, dass die dann das Silizium mit der Muttermilch trinken und dass man das später an den Lippen sieht."
Aha. Und was sagt er sonst noch, der levantinische Philosoph?
This is the #Modders #microfiction going through my head this morning, and it addresses something I keep thinking of, so I figured I'd write it down. For those who somehow haven't seen these, this is a hard #Scifi setting, set in 2120s North America, where humans use surgical machines and chemicals for extreme #BodyModification, which includes #furries turning themselves into #anthro animals...

A pair of adult opossums sat on one of the benches on their wide second-story balcony, overlooking the little backyard gardens nestled between the group of old townhomes, the style giving away that they'd been built way back in the 2040s, when the city was less dense, before either of them were born really.
The ocean breeze was making it this far inland this morning, rustling cooly through their bare fur as they sat in the warm rays of the rising midday sun, which had made its way over was shining down on the rooftops.
Continuing my #Scifi #Microfiction about #BodyModification used for #Transformation into #Furries in my 2120s setting, #Modders.

Before this process had begun, as Nuki had been walking her through the process, Jack, her big wolf associate with visible cybernetic implants, had gotten up from his reading and walked over to the waiting area.
"Alright, any of you still need to fill out the consent forms, or did you all fill them out together?" he asked, holding up some tablets.
They all shook their heads. One raising his hand, "We did them a couple days ago, when we planned the trip!"
"Ah, ok, any of you want to go next?"
The one who raised his hand jumped up excitedly, "Me!"
Jack nodded, taking his reference sheet from him, looking at it and immediately grinning, "Ahh, I see what got you so excited for me! Let's get you started..." he took a picture of the sheet, and started leading the soon-to-be-former-human towards the machines...
I've just seen the sketch for my tattoo, and I'M ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED.
I'm getting an aqua tofana tattoo on Wednesday.. I'm super looking forward to it.
After that I'm going to get a hat pin tattoo done.
..it seems like my arm is turning into a misandry piece.
