Tosa literally wrote the book on pup play. Spyke is what it looks like off the page.

Tosa is alpha of the Mazrim Pack and the author of Puppy-Play, a properly published book on the history, hierarchy, headspace and social side of pup play (there's a French audiobook he narrates himself). Spyke is his beta, born in France, now in Canada, and about as much pure energy as one pup can hold. Between them, you get the whole picture: the education and the joy, the theory and the bark. They get into pack dynamics, what it actually means to live in one rather than play at it, and why writing down a community you're part of matters.

Find them at @puptosa and @spyke_mazrim, book, calendar, and much more at mazshop.ca.

Tosa wrote the book. Spyke lives in the bark. Come as a pack. 🐾

Tom of London got sober in a scene built around wet spaces, and built a whole philosophy out of it.

He talks about what it actually takes to keep a community alive rather than just take from it: the clockwork theory where we’re all cogs keeping it ticking, leather’s European roots through the ECMC, and why the titles he held were never the point. He’s also 14 months sober and relearning his kink from the ground up, which makes the whole conversation hit differently. Find him on Instagram @tomoflondon.

What is Pride actually for? Dax and Quincy sit down with Shippo, first Slovak Puppy and a Pride organiser, for a Pride special that doesn’t dodge the hard bits.

They get into acceptance, belonging, why kink keeps getting pushed out of Pride, and how the smaller, scrappier Prides are doing it better. Plus the moments that make the whole community worth it.

Drop a comment with the year you first realised Pride was for you. We want to know.
