Happy Belated Holidays & A Lesson In Glow Safety!

[Bun]

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been in the right mental place to be able to host events and fix shit up like need be. Everyone will get details in the discord about whats going on at some point or another.

There's a lot of plans for the future for the site, but with me being the only one currently willing and able to do these things for the site and everything I'm dealing with in my own life, its clashing. Thank you all so much for your patience and I can only pray that we will have another scammer free year! (not that they didn't try lol)

Regardless, I hope you all had a good time and made great memories this holiday season!

so, for the second half of this, some misinformation that can potentially cause damage had been going around, so I'm just going to link the PSA I wrote on it and if you have interest in such, feel free to take a read!

Im a little confused on the PSA, arent the bulbs/lights just used to briefly look at or charge up a toy, and not pointed at your genitals/skin/etc? The toy itself wont be giving off ultraviolet radiation or whatever while its glowing post-charge

its not solely about just charging up a toy for GITD purposes. my PSA was about UV lights and in use UV play mostly, as I know I personally keep a UV light on when I toy as most of mine are UV glow and unfortunately not GITD. When using bulbs for UV play, one should be sure not to be using a UVB bulb as some people might not know as I've seen around.

Oh, gotcha! I never considered ppl would keep uv lights on during play. Lightshow!

Thankfully UVB bulbs are usually straight white light and not the purpley color of a black light.

I'm confused on how color matters as UV light of any kind does UVR. If it's a UVB bulb, it's doing UVB skin damage when it comes in contact with skin regardless of the color the bulb filter has on it.

My apologies, I've just never seen a UVB bulb with a color filter like a black light on it. In my experience UVB is most commonly used for reptile lighting.
