Name' sake

flitter'fly​(sub female) - Absolutely
Yet some of us do tend to get caught up in our clicks and then have no time to read new blogs from new people. And most times no time to read all the blogs from our clicks.
Not an excuse just a way of explanation for myself.

Innocent Me​(sub female)​{Protected} - Embracing everyone is a hard concept for many. I think all the time...imagine if everyone stopped this division and came together, how powerful we could be as humans. Seems like it'll always be only a dream. People think too much in 'right' and 'wrongs', they're self-centered and defensive, and they feel the need to scream as if they're being drowned out rather than invite people to participate and be part of a community. Every man for himself mentality while there's enough to go around. <3

Jack in the box -
Precious girl, yes
Namaskaram ?

flitter'fly​(sub female) - Exactly, most people ARE MISERABLE , and only want to make the rest of us just as miserable.
Also, Mr. Jack
If we took all who read our blogs, and have them just like the blog if they liked it. It would at least show suport.
Does not mean they have to jump in and talk with the rest of us.
Just a thought.

Jack in the box -
Support, yes! Exactly my point
Thank you young lady ??

Drinfear​(dom male)​{Owns PFP} - AMEN, Boss.. I can't agree more.. If WE can't accept one another and reach out to those in need in times of need, be it to just talk, give a shoulder to lean on, or even just an EAR to listen, HOW can vanilla society ever be expected to do so at all?

Jack in the box -
I dont think vanilla society ever will my friend, but we here - are we here ??

flitter'fly​(sub female) - Rightttt...

GiannaRay​(sub female) - I don’t read every blog, I’m not on all of the time. Sometimes when I am on I only read the ones that I think I might enjoy. Some of those I “like” or comment on or both. As a community I don’t think it’s necessary that we should have to comment or like blogs just to be nice. I am a nice person. And as a pretty nice person, I also don’t usually comment negatively on blogs, I choose to just scroll on. Where others feel they must comment and be confrontational. We are all adults here. This is not elementary school where everyone should get a participation prize. I don’t feel we owe anyone anything here just for us to be a community. I treat people the way I’d like to be treated. If I don’t get the same in return or the opposite I move on from them. I do this because it’s who I am, not because I should feel I should.

Jack in the box -
Thank you for your input Ms G, I appreciate you ??

Innocent Me​(sub female)​{Protected} - It's one of the things I appreciate the most about you. You don't feel the need to get into arguments or post negative comments, you'd rather move on.

Not everyone can do that, it's a great trait. Shows true kindness imo. <3

GiannaRay​(sub female) - You are sweet Estaria. I just don’t feel the need or have the energy for such negativity and drama, unless it’s necessary.

Innocent Me​(sub female)​{Protected} - Agreed. <3

Jack in the box -
Im now currently mentoring 6 girls, can I get an Amen, a Halleluyah, and a Prozac?
??

Drinfear​(dom male)​{Owns PFP} - I have 5 females living in My Household (GRANTED 3 are cats, but STILL) ALL 5 go into heat at the same damn time.. UGH..

flitter'fly​(sub female) - Daddy fib he has 4 caties
The flitter has a catie as well
That make 4 caties Daddy

Innocent Me​(sub female)​{Protected} - Mentoring them....to.....axe throw? swim? camp? build a fire? *smirk*

☝️ aaand, navigate their way thru this confusing life and/with style (see what I did there? ?)

Innocent Me​(sub female)​{Protected} - That finger in the air...hahaha.

Jack in the box -
Hey ☝️
werent you just that other . . . .
Oh nevermind ?

?

I'mME - @Gianna Ray,

I agree with you. I know I'm probably missing some writings that I would enjoy. Tbh, I try to limit my time online, this is isn't the only place I interact online.

I may not be a 'nice' person, but I don't believe it has anything to do with the fact that I can not read everything everyone puts out here.

Jack in the box -
Ya know, ive been on fetlife for literally decades - it always felt cold and impersonal. Then I found this site. Truly changed my life.
Real people here sharing real feelings and emotions. I just want to do my part to keep it so

Innocent Me​(sub female)​{Protected} - You are a little...er...giant...ball of energy, Jack. My Daddy and I are always like...yeah, he's cool. We could totally hang with him. Lol

You're one of my favorite people here. I appreciate your honesty, authenticity, and ability to be yourself so freely. <3

Jack in the box -
So threesome? ?

flitter'fly​(sub female) - Lol ? ? ? ?

Innocent Me​(sub female)​{Protected} - My Daddy and I aren't very good at sharing. ;)

flitter'fly​(sub female) - Exactly... Samezies... :)

Jack in the box -
?
So foursome? ?

Jack in the box -
Thank you girls, it is you, that are the treasures of this kinky island ?

Drinfear​(dom male)​{Owns PFP} - You DO know Flitter comes with an automatic threesome already, right, Boss?? *laugh*

Jack in the box -
Thats why I said foursome ?

flitter'fly​(sub female) - Ohhhhh, you the dude man hehehe
How cute...

flitter'fly​(sub female) - Hehehehe

flitter'fly​(sub female) - ? I is an angel... hehehe
Buttttt
Why we are on this topic.
A bucket list item I likely will NEVER get.
I always wanted to have an orgy.
Just a select group of Mmmmm
And ohhh my my my my.
Yummy..... ?

GiannaRay​(sub female) - You are very kind Jack. I didn’t make my comment to try to dissuade you from being welcoming. I just didn’t agree with the feeling that we should be liking or commenting on peoples blogs, if we don’t want to, just so we can be more of a community. I know there are cliques here. I’ve seen it. I’ve had people comment negatively on blogs of mine. Be confrontational on my own blog post. I’ve also been judged here, in a community that I thought should be more accepting (which shocked me actually). I don’t comment or like some peoples blogs because I don’t want to. Whether it’s because I don’t enjoy them or plain out don’t like them. And that’s my choice. I don’t think I should have to feel bad about that. We all make choices. We should all feel free to make our own choices here.

Jack in the box -
I agree with you Ms G, please dont feel otherwise. You are, and should be, free to be you ??

flitter'fly​(sub female) - I agree

flitter'fly​(sub female) - No one said you shouldn't feel free to do just that.
I liked your comments because I saw the value in them and agree.
I also see how amazing it would be to see the majority likeing said blogs. Though I hold no care at all if no one does.
After all we are all adult's here.
We can all have different opinions and still agree and see different sides and values, while still wanting something different, and still get along. ?
Thank You for your comments.
The value commentary of different opinions and why is valued.

dollMaker​(dom male) - I used to read most of the blogs, but in recent times I don't, I am not here as much as I used to, so a fair number slide by unseen by me. That's no guarantee I would comment, or leave loves and I don't think doing it for the sake of it is a good thing, though I do sometimes do so to encourage.

Cage is a disparate group of people, from all walks and beliefs, and approaches to what it is we do, but while there are groups here who I guess are a community for themselves, their friend groups, Cage, to my mind isn't a community as a whole, its a site that is more friendly towards some, and a more cold house for others.

I don't mean because of site admin, though I would be critical of some of their choices since I have been here, but in the main the loud member voices that are intolerant towards the queer community, trans people, and racism that has been on show, never mind a lot of US centric one twue wayism, gatekeeping re what is and isn't bdsm and kink - not taking into account there is an entire world out there and societal, cultural and historical factors lead to things being different elsewhere, and that doesn't invalidate those ways. Yes I know that myself and others have spoken out, and challenged about that over the years, but if there was no need to, I and others would not have done so.

I used to feel Cage was my kink home, but over the last few years less and less, it feels cold, and that doesn't come out of people who dislike me for speaking out, but more the culture, energy here. I know this won't be a popular, even accepted thought, but I am not alone in thinking this. I am still here, just, many others are now gone.

In saying all that you raise good points, and I will try and read more, and if the sentiments within warrant response and love I will leave those.

Jack in the box -
Thank you for your input Dollmaker, I appreciate you - I know youve been around this place for a long time ??
I do hope you continue to be ?

flitter'fly​(sub female) - I love this.
Thank You
And yes things here do tend to get a bit childish at times, what I like to call (Elementry) "myself included".
And even I take a step back at that point.
Also, I do personally think the good here and in this community, far outweighs the elementary of the bad.
And by far, outweighs the world in vanilla, that we live in on most days.
Thank You again for a different point of view.
Have I mentioned, how I love the commentary on these blogs. ?

Susie Q​{Daddy Ant} - Everyone is special. All gave gifts and talents and kindness should be the norm not the exception. What a world we would live in if there was not just acceptance but continual support, and might I say, love for our fellow man. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I am ever learning how little kindnesses affect people.

Jack in the box -
A little, long ways - indeed
Thank you Ms Creidsinn, for shining through

Drinfear​(dom male)​{Owns PFP} - Friday, Flitter and I were on a bus.. When W/we got on it, it was packed.. Standing room only, save one spot, which Flitter insisted *I* take.. As she did so, a young man stood and let her take HIS seat across the aisle from Me.. At the very next stop, several people got on, and two younger men in the back stood up so females could take their seats.. One gesture of kindness is seen and paid forward.. W/we got off shortly thereafter, but spoke and wondered how many others did the same thing after seeing it right before their eyes..

flitter'fly​(sub female) - What Daddy failed to mention is at first absolutely no one stood to allow me to sit, untill this very nice young man looked up from his phone.
It was that one act of kindness that lead to the others, immediately jumping up to allow two others to sit.
I so love when one shows this and the dominos effect takeing place.

flitter'fly​(sub female) - Absolutely, we'll said... ?

flitter'fly​(sub female) - Well
Silly phone.

The Kinky Poet​(other male) - Absolutely I was lucky enough to be taken in by those on the Cage I'm honoured and humbled to be part of an inclusive community
So let's support everyone we are as Jack says we are a community are we nit
Great piece
Love and light T.K.P

Drinfear​(dom male)​{Owns PFP} - Boss? You ARE one of U/us.. PERIOD. Just like Flitter, *I* see in You everything she does and more.. I'd be VERY happy to call You My Brother, and I do not say that word lightly, EVER..

The Kinky Poet​(other male) - Too kind
Love and light T.K.P

Jack in the box -

Thank you Ron ???

The Kinky Poet​(other male) - Awesome share, great read
Love and light T.K.P xx

Jack in the box -
Thank you for being a part my friend ??

WhatamIfightingfor​(dom male)​{CurvyB} - I am just a tired introvert. Hop everyone finds a healthy place in the communities the are in.

intenseoldman​(dom male) - This place is high school. There's some mature adults, but a lot of sheep following around the "cool kids" trying to get noticed and fit in. There are cliques that take you in one day and reject you the next day. Has anyone's life experience shown them they should expect more?

Everyone here is not my people, but I'm not going to make anyone feel unwelcome because everyone is somebody's people. You know, that's why we're here ..to find our people. I'm happy when people find their people so I am not about discouraging anyone. I just wish there were more happy stories and less sobbing.

Innocent Me​(sub female)​{Protected} - Well, we'll just have to add to the happy stories now...won't we? :)

Jack in the box -
I was feeling this when I posted this 3 weeks ago
https://thecage.co/blog/userblog.php?blog_id=25965&postid=90191
About finding your own group where you fit in.

Innocent Me​(sub female)​{Protected} - Haven't heard that song in so so long. I think some of us just weren't made for cliques or following the sheep. I have never been a part of a group, never sought it out. I was happy with my 1 or 2 close friends and my freedom. Some of us value freedom above most of what others feel they need to be fulfilled. I know Daddy does, he needs his freedom. So do I. I have a feeling you might be one of us too Jack. <3

Jack in the box -
If the crowds going left, i'll go right.
I dont follow trends, I make them ?
And if little fishies turn into big fishies, well, I put my hiking boots back on ?

Innocent Me​(sub female)​{Protected} - We will have to do something fun one day, the three of us. <3

Jack in the box -
Wouldnt that make us a crowd?
?

Innocent Me​(sub female)​{Protected} - You're the one that asked for a threesome. :)

Jack in the box -
Oh, right right ?
I'll bring the tequila ??

Innocent Me​(sub female)​{Protected} - Hahaha I don't drink and Daddy prefers a good Whiskey. :)

Besides, the three of us don't fit the definition of a crowd. We aren't a large group and I mean...not all of us would be unruly. Lol

flitter'fly​(sub female) - Same

Drinfear​(dom male)​{Owns PFP} - I tell the girls all the time when they ask why I did something.. swat their butts wrap a hand in their hair as I kiss them, etc.. I tell em I did it for da fishes.. You know.. Da halibut..

Sky dancer 51 - Great post and it’s nice to read all the responses.
I haven’t been here over a week as I was on vacation.
But I do try to read most of the blogs if they appeal to me and respond.
Have a great day everyone
? Sky

Jack in the box -
Well then welcome back Ms Sky, and thank you for joining in ???
did you have a slendiferous time on your vacation?

Sky dancer 51 - Thank you Jack ? I had a great vacation saw beautiful nature and waterfalls.
It was fun to hike and climb mountains again it had been a while since I did it.

Apkrodite​(sub female)​{ForeverHis} - Everyone counts, we all deserve recognition especially in seeing each others light. The world out there can be a dark place, but here I see beautiful sparkling rainbows of energy everywhere, it's precious and very special so are all of you, we would all do well to treat it as such. Standing together side by side we are strong unstoppable beings, we have the power to give love and light and grow or we can dismantle and destroy. I know where I'm taking my light. Thank you for this Mr Jack never hurts to give a little poke! ????

Drinfear​(dom male)​{Owns PFP} - Far too many of those I care about have had the dark of the world seep into their lives and souls, sometimes.. I only try to give them a [;ace they can be themselves and let themselves revert to a place where their light can regain it's essence and show.. I encourage them to do so, to the extent I am able..

Jack in the box -
You are welcome Ms A, of course.
And I 100% agree with you ???
Namaskaram ?

flitter'fly​(sub female) - Hehehe we seen your light on your last blog. Splendid indeed.
Hehehe ??

Apkrodite​(sub female)​{ForeverHis} - Likewise Drinfear, it doesn't take much to extend a hand in friendship. I believe we all belong somewhere to our very own tribe and when we find our home and people it should be treasured. ???

Drinfear​(dom male)​{Owns PFP} - I could not agree more, ms apk. I ALWAYS extend My hand, but few are brave enough to take it, and even fewer are honest enough, even to themselves, to KEEP it.. I'm a stick in the mud, at times, but see things in definitive shades.. Steal from Me, I'm done. Lie to Me intentionally, I have no time or place in My life for that.. But that's just Me..

Apkrodite​(sub female)​{ForeverHis} - We must all be cautious of where we spend our energies, protect them at all costs. What we give away gets filled with something, instincts are a magical thing. But when we are lost we can miss judge who is sincere in that extended hand. So I always take a gentle approach now, don't want my hand bitten again lol ???

Jack in the box -
Ya know Ms A, if written in line form, and maybe a bit of rhyme thrown in - that would be a great poem ??

Apkrodite​(sub female)​{ForeverHis} - Well feel free Mr Jack, even a little guitar to go with, now that would be a blessing to my ears???
