Last night I wrote a post that I thought was pretty good. I went to bed feeling satisfied with the whole thing. But after sleeping on it, I realized it was half-baked. So that one is going back to the rewrite rack for now.
In the meantime, I thought I would answer some questions people ask me about all the time. Specifically, what I think about the content I collect, create, and curate.
And just as important, when and where I tend to post it.
WHAT? + WHEN? + WHERE?
SFW Montages = Weekly(ish) = On YouTube
NSFW Montages = Weekly(ish) = On Substack
NC17+ Photos + Videos = Weekly(ish) = On Bluesky
I also post occasionally on Instagram for those who hang out there. SFW shorts weekly(ish).
As you can probably tell, “weekly(ish)” is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here. When I can, I try to post two videos weekly on YouTube and Substack.
WHY?
The short answer is simple: Platform rules.
Every platform has guidelines about what can and can’t be posted. Sometimes those rules come directly from the platform itself. Other times they are shaped by payment processors, advertisers, or other companies pulling the strings behind the scenes.
YouTube is by far the most restrictive. So that’s where I post my most “family-friendly” montages and videos.
While Substack allows erotica and nudity, making it a good home for my NSFW work, Stripe, its payment processor, isn’t a fan of nudity. So I decided, back in late 2024, to proceed with caution.
Because of Stripe’s position, new full frontal photos and videos are only available on Bluesky. For now anyway.
Is it a perfect system? Of course not. But it is the best way I’ve found (so far) to keep sharing the work while respecting the different rules of each platform.
FINAL THOUGHTS
The internet is constantly changing, pivoting, and shifting.
Policies change. Platforms rise and fall. Payment processors get nervous.
My whole content plan is evolving and in flux. So I appreciate all of your patience and patronage. Without you, I’m literally nothing. I couldn’t do the kind of work I love doing so much without you. Thank you…it really does mean the world to me.
Keep calm and carry on!

P.S. For those interested, I finally finished downloading all the images I wanted from that big collection I found. It took more than a week to get through the whole thing, but I ended up with over 2,000 images, most of which I had never seen before.
