Can I DM?

This is for a magnitude of reasons:

• I receive A LOT of messages (not complaining, nor do I care, just be aware)

• I have a lifestyle that requires me to constantly be on the go (by choice), which occasionally means I am burnt out, need sleep, have late nights, need to exist as a human, etc.

• Some messages I receive require a lot from me, others, not so much

• Some messages I receive require me to negotiate with other people (such as SA-PAH committee for SA-PAH-related matters)

• I function on a one-in-one-out system so I can manage my cognitive load while having multiple conversations at once

• I don’t respond to messages while I’m with others - that is their time with me when they get my undivided attention

• I do things properly, not necessarily quickly

• I have friends in a range of different time zones and schedules, which means I sometimes need to shuffle my plans around

• I like order and proper planning in my life

I prioritise messages and my time (in order top-down):

1. Pups I am an Alpha to or have a special dynamic or relationship with

2. Close friends and people in my pack, kink circles and private life

3. People in the SA Pups and Handlers (SA-PAH) and my local community

4. People I’ve committed to

5. THEN by order of receipt (I work bottom-up oldest-newest)

However, I will NOT tolerate bullying and harassment. If you’re going to be rude or disrespectful to me, don’t expect a response or that I’ll make time for you. EVER.

If you don’t like how I do things, I don’t care. I do what works for me, and my community, within my physical capacity.
