Hiya, Rumpies

Trying to rest my mind and hands a bit when not working, but needed some connections today. My longest friendship here unfriended me. No reason given just letting me know we wouldn’t communicate anymore. I’m letting myself mourn the loss, and it is a great loss to me, instead of doing my usual run from the pain. I pray he’s ok. He said he was fine, but needed to not communicate any more.

This is why I put up notes if going into hiding for a bit. It’s torture (for me anyway) to be left wondering what happened.

One project done and the last this year going early December, then time off! Yay! Hopefully my carpel tunnel symptoms become dormant once more.

Be kind to one another. Love you all! ❤️

Not much I can offer in solace but I can give you a hug 🤗

You're really gonna go there?

Yeah, I think we still know how.

But your points are valid. Sorry, it was probably a joke in bad taste. I certainly didn't mean to offend.

My bad

Quote by WellMadeMale

I suppose it depends upon where you've dredged up your information, but this is the first time I've heard that Progressive Liberals didn't vote for Harris because she supports the Palestinians - when in my experience and (sources I dredged up) that is entirely 180 degrees NOT the case.

I've lost a handful of online Lush friends here because I've proposed that the current regime leading Israel needs to be put on trial at The Hague for the genocide they've inflicted upon GAZA since the early 1990s. I was immediately called an anti-semite who must love Hamas and Hezbollah. And that has never been a belief I've held or expressed. That entire region needs to see zero bloodshed, zero genocide, zero aerial bombing runs, zero missile launches/retaliation.

And Bibi is a war criminal and he's all for retaliation as well as instigation. Motherfucker.

Perhaps this will better explaine my point

No argument about your feelings toward Israel or Bibi from me. I got into it with several of their citizens online over their indifference to Ukraine and the attitude that, and I quote, ‘no longer needed the US anymore’

Frankly they have turned into the same kind of tyrants their people fled from.

As to progressives not supporting Biden over his waffling on Gaza, they were the ones who originally tagged him as ‘genocide Joe’.

I've got into it with a number of them as well. 🤷‍♂️

Quote by techgoddess

I have at least a dozen or so stories that live on my flash drive. I can't bring myself to hit delete either. Once upon a time, The Office Whore was one of those stories, and look what happened there when I finally submitted it!

I always feel like there must be at least some part of the story that has redeemable qualities and may be useful in another story. OR I might finally figure out how I want a story to end and finish it. But DELETE is gone forever and if I spent time creating stuff on my laptop, I hate to just let it go completely.

I agree some of my best stories were in my delete file until I keen back to them much later and realized I could do something with them. I have plenty of storage on my phone and I have pretty decent filing system for my work so I see no reason to get rid of them.

My estimate that Tennessee is done with summer seems confirmed by the long range forecast, and for those of you from nations that never put a man on the moon, sorry, it hasn't got a Celsius conversion

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

After the Seahawks win, the NFC west now has 3 teams at 5-2, making it one of the toughest divisions in the entire league.

Next week, the Rams get a much-needed ‘by’, giving Puca Nakua more time to heal his ankle. After that we get the 1-6 Saints, so we have an excellent chance of moving to 6-2 after the break.

It sure looks like the NFC West will have maybe 3 teams heading into the playoffs unless someone starts to tank

Now, coffee and the big decision of what to make for breakfast

My only issue other than the fact that the readership is not going to be large for a story that size is the workload that would put on the moderation team

Having to go through 60,000 words stories before it can be published is quite an ask. Obviously that’s more up to them than the membership. They’re the ones who has to do the work, but my feeling is there would be some pushback from those who have to actually moderate those stories

I woke up this morning to the house at 65 degrees (18c)

Yesterday it was considerably warmer, but we had a front move in and I didn’t turn on the heat. So now I’m all bundled up. Trying to decide if I wanna throw a log in the fire. Just turn the heat on.

I’m guessing I’m gonna go to the log on the fire. Looking at the long range forecast that appears summer’s over in Tennessee.

Just stopping by with a date for a quick cup. We’ll be in store room 6 until morning. Just disregard any odd moans or gasps. We are just playing chess 😎

Quote by Seeker4

Yeah, it happens. Some are odd fantasies I likely would not publish for various reasons, some are ideas that I get off on but that don't really fly when I actually write them. Usually they languish a while, then get deleted unless I think it's an idea I might come back to someday.

I find it almost impossible to delete them. I have at times gone back and pulled a single line or paragraph from them to include in a different story but I keep it all.

Maybe it’s a little obsessive compulsive behavior but I just can’t bring myself to hit delete

I have a number I’ve written that I feel are flawed in some way. Eventually I’ll will figure out what about them displeases me and they will be published. Many of the stories I have published now spent time in that file.

I have about a dozen more that I wrote knowing they couldn’t be published on Lush for one reason or another. I wrote those as a matter of creation, just to see how they developed. But I knew on the outset they would never see the light of day

Seven million telling MAGA to fuck all the way off. It was a good day

Today the Rams win in London over the Jags and go 5-2 on the year. Stafford throwing 5 TD’s with Puka on the sideline and the D coming up big with 6 sacks and only 7 points allowed.

It’s a great weekend. I’ll take a pint in honor of the London crowd that was into the game and have a cigar.

Then I’ll finish the afternoon working on my next story.

And if you care to try it, Hot Wives Holiday is the first story on my profile.

Since my return just a few short months ago, I've been fortunate to add over 100 new followers and almost twice as many new friends. You have all given me tremendous support with hundreds of comments, many hundreds more ‘likes’, with an astonishing 323 of you choosing to add my new stories to your ‘Favorites’ list. 

As a writer, that last stat is an honor worth more to me than the awards I've won here as it means those who clicked the star felt those stories were worth rereading in the future.

I cannot adequately express my thanks to all of you who have enjoyed my work and graced me with your friendship, following, clicks, and comments. 

I published Hot Wives Holday a couple days ago

https://www.lushstories.com/stories/wife-lovers/hot-wives-holiday

Up next is Wild Oats, the third non-linear addition to the Wild Child series.

This one goes back 4 years to when Dani seduces her mothers 2nd husband, a man she refused to consider her stepfather

For the first chapter. But there is no reason to read them in order

Quote by naughtyannie

Congratulations! Welcome to the club. This certainly takes you down some interesting byways, but it's great when you finally get there.

Thank you. I think my biggest surprise was that we only have 17 current members holding that badge. I can say it was the most difficult badge to earn that I have

There once was a young man from Belaire

Who liked to make love on the stair

But on his third stroke

The balustrade broke

So he finished her off in the air

Quote by fuzzy1954

I Must post this with the upmost respect that on this day 214 years ago, October 17th, 1814 goes into the history books as

The London Beer Flood

8 people were killed in what became known as the London Beer Flood after 1,470,000 L of beer burst out of brewery and gushed into the streets; 214 years ago today on October 17 1814

At Noon Eastern Time all beer sales will be free here in Rumps.

On a side note the British tried blaming "dirty irish" or "upstart" traitorous Americans.

☘️😃☘️

come on now it had to be the Americans

Irish don’t spill good beer

Additionally, and forgive me dipping into the doom and gloom, it leads me to consider the Fermi Paradox, wherein Enrique Fermi postulated that in the extensive amount of time, the universe existed and the billions of stars that are in the galaxy, it was almost a mathematical certainty that at least some civilization should have colonized the entire galaxy by now, leading to the now famous question of where is everybody?

That offhanded comment made in a diner amongst other physicists, has become one of the great scientific paradox of our time, and the speculation that there is an unknown great filter, keeping civilizations from advancing beyond a certain point.

And there are many theories, but as Isaac Arthur points out, none of them really fit

But it could be a simple as this. Once a society reaches a post scarcity condition it simply breaks down just as the mice colonies did in the universe 25 experiment.

Quote by JamesLlewellyn

Nice to see Jane keeping busy at the bar!

I think that red head disappeared into Store Room #4. There have certainly been some, um, interesting noises emanating from there!

Thank you, Lion, for kicking our Get-Fried-Day off! It is much appreciated.

I'm going to interrupt the frivolity to paste in something I saw in my other life, on LinkedIn. I'd be interested in your thoughts, folks. We, as a society, are wading into deep water here, and we need to think about what to do.

And contrary to Nancy Reagan's dictum, just saying NO ain't gonna help.

Here's the post:

Today, I spent my lunch hour creating porn. Every day, I teach myself a new AI skill. On Mondays, I log into Discord for 1 hour and pretend to be a 15-year-old gamer boy, so I can learn what boys learn.

Within minutes today, I was pointed toward a new tool for AI-generated porn. A major Chinese video model has just been acquired, and all its safeguards were gone.

The result? Fully open, uncensored, hyper-realistic AI video generation. I used adult human characters in my little experiment, but the system was open for me to do whatever I wanted.

This isn’t fringe. Kids find these tools faster than most adults find the TV remote.

Many of the comments I saw were not from predators but from kids who seemed simply curious, lol-ing, and experimenting with what the tech could do.

Some of the kids in the channels today were in class, and "so bored".

That’s the problem. They are unsupervised and alone in these spaces, being shaped by them. They are learning about intimacy from synthetic pornography, not from trusted adults, not from healthy relationships.

We cannot wish this away. CSAM and AI-generated explicit material are exploding online. The general CSAM volume has roughly tripled from 2023 to 2025, and AI-generated CSAM has skyrocketed, with 380% growth in just one year (Thorn, 2025).

It is big business, and regulation is barely catching up.

Parents, this is not a call from me to confiscate tech. It’s a call to show up. Talk to your kids. Often. Teach them what’s safe, what’s not, and how to ask for help when they see something that crosses the line. Assume they see this type of content constantly, and open the conversation. I log off after an hour each Monday because the reality of boys’ online lives is terrifying.

Today, I was so grossed out, that I skipped eating altogether. Gen Z went through this mostly alone. Are we willing to let Gen Alpha do the same?

------------

Y'all know I love a good, smutty story as much as the next Bear, but kids are being dragged down into the mud before they learn about healthy relationships.

That has always been one of the things I've liked about Lush: Adult, consensual, erotica without exploitation.

Any thoughts, folks?

I grew up in a time when they were airing spots on TV that said “it's 10:00, do you know where your kids are?”

Society is too busy, and too many replacements for parental responsibility are available. It's not because parents don't care, its just that it's too easy to hand a kid a device, watch them get mesmerized by it and only feel relief that they are occupied enough to not need direct supervision.

When I hear things like this my mind goes back to the Universe 25 experiment. Allow me to quote Chat GPT’s synopsis

“The experiment you're referring to is known as "Universe 25," conducted by behavioral researcher John B. Calhoun in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In this study, Calhoun created a "mouse utopia," providing mice with unlimited food, water, and shelter, but with a limited amount of space. As the mouse population grew, social structures broke down, leading to increased aggression, social withdrawal, and a decline in reproduction. Eventually, the colony collapsed despite the abundance of resources. This experiment was designed to study the effects of overpopulation on behavior.“

I will go on to say they repeated this multiple times and ended up with the same result every time. And now we see today in our society population is dropping, chaos is growing and the parallels are unmistakable. Among mice, their civilization, such as it was simply collapsed, but we’re seeing the effects happen to human civilization and where that will lead is anyone’s guess. But my feeling, one that I just can’t shake, Is this insensitivity that we see to things that would have horrified us, such as these new AI programs that allow children to explore themes that we would never have allowed children to explore in the past, is just part of that trend

And I don’t think there’s anything we can do about it. I think it’s inevitable; wherever it leads.

My latest work, Hotwives Holiday, was inspired by my co-write, Cupidmaiden25.

It's the story of 3 traditional women who meet two men on a cruise they took as a vacation from their workaholic husbands.

I agree, Bear... Another one here would like a strong cup of Yorkshire Tea.... 😊

David, I'm planning to read your "Hot Wives Holiday" story later today.

Thank you but no rush. I do appreciate you taking the time.

Good morning Lion. I'll take a couple donuts and a cup from old Bertha

I've got a new story up. Hot Wives Holiday. Nothing fancy with this one. Just good old-fashioned eritica

Quote by RumpleForeskin

So how how's by y'all?

Talk about fireball nips got me to wondering if this joint might benefit from hiring a redheaded waitstaff type person or two. That way customers, and da Bear, would be able to worship at some unnatural fauna-type burning bushes. Just a thought.

Last time I tried to post on this oasis of low culture and minimal refinement, I manage to delete the color photo of a most attractive reclining unclothed lady from its place of honor behind the bar. (Sorry about that-but now you know why I'm a skittish poster these days.

Anyway, mega congrats of Kimmie on earning literary laurels. The rest of you keep on keeping on while standing upwind of da Bear.

Rumple).

Good to see you, Rump.

I've been back for a bit but this is the first time I've seen you back in this wonderful joint you created

(I used to be Milik, by the way)

Good morning all

Congrats to Kim for making top ten!

I was surprised Wordsmith didn't break in. He was my secret pic to win but one never knows what the judges will do. I'm not at all surprised to see AndreaDetroit on the podium

No real plans for today other than to submit my new story. I finished it last night and just need to read through it one more time. My next one is another about Dani in Wild Oats. I made some progress on that already

Now, time for my morning coffee. It just finished brewing and I can smell the aroma all the way in my den.

I only read a few of these, but I did read those Andria Detroit, Henke and Kimmiebegood and they were excellent. Hats off to all the winners and Top 10!

It’s not on SS. A small press holds the monthly contest online. They get between 400-500 entries, though.

Good luck I hope you do well

Up at 5 this morning. My chihuahua wanted out and that woke the Beagle and so that was it for sleeping because once my rescue Beagle is up she wants breakfast and I feed her chicken- I know but she spent her life eating the cheapest kibble on the market so I upgraded 🤷‍♂️

Now she's picky as hell. So, anyway I made them both something to eat and myself coffee

Now, my chihuahua is asleep on my lap and Bits the Beagle is in the spare bed she appropriated and I'm up with a caffeine buzz.

How the hell did it happen that they got to sleep more while I'm doubling as a pillow?

Good day, Rumpies

In Saturday October 18 there will be hundreds of No Kings marches throughout the nation.

I will be joining them in Jackson Tennessee. I'm confidant the protest will be peaceful and I'm hoping the local authorities in this red state won't attempt to instigate violence either
