Using colonial slurs against Indigenous peoples while simultaneously making a profit off of the rise of Indigenous identity fraud? You're the worst kind of settler and this book is the epitome of the very problem with all these colonial white anthropologists!

Sorry who is "yall"?
The Black Panther Party directly supported disabled activists during their 504 sit ins in 1977. You should watch Crip Camp and do the work of educating yourself. Disabled ppl know a thing or 2 about discipline and community care.
@geminneye
Except sugaring is sex work. You're providing companionship, intimacy, and emotional support in exchange for money or a monetary value gift, based solely on the way you look and the physical actions you're agreeable to doing.
Tell your SD you want a raise, see what happens. ππ

Saw this little guy today as well. I left his face out for privacy reasons, but truly felt moved by his sign. Always very emotional seeing the kids.

That is well said. I agree. I find Macklemore so corny so I am very pleasantly surprised this came from his team and also that it sounds like he wrote it. Apparently, most celebrities use PR teams, and most celeb statements on the genocide have been abysmal tbh.
@ericavioletlee
Been listening to this on my walks lately. It's actually *perfect* workout music, tbh. Upbeat!! That second track by Muhannad Khalaf & Maher Halabi is addictive lol. Also Mayel ala Baladi by Shalby + Ghazal is such a romantic breezy soulful tune. ππ₯Ήπ
@uhhhlece
This photo encapsulates so many of the issues with white-led anarchist/leftist groups. I cannot believe these people genuinely think that this represents anything "revolutionary" posting photos that incriminate themselves online.
@dayglowj0e
This is a decent response to a Zionist asking this question in bad faith, but please don't erase the voices and experiences of Copts, Imazighen, and Black Africans. As we speak, the RSF (aka the Janj*weed 2.0) is continuing its genocidal campaign against "non-Arabs" in Darfur.

Actually no if someone is harassing you at the gym or anywhere you no longer owe them politeness. She was so polite to him despite him overstepping from the start, this is 100% on him.

@GoldenC688
@ask_aubry
You sound like one of those people who actually doesn't go to a gym tbh
Just because no ones bothering YOU at the gym doesn't mean women don't get harassed. Common experience actually if you're decently attractive and in good shape. π€·π€·

This is a really good point actually. I would also like to know. Some of the posts have felt a lot like trauma porn...I'm not sure what good it does to "raise awareness" of an issue without any calls to action.

-disease has always been employed in genocides (ie small pox blankets)
-health & disability justice + community care = social justice/liberation

Finding myself at the point now where add in the little "it's not just for covid, protect yourself from state surveillance too guys" to see where people really stand lol ππ
"What's included in PSE??" - no idea, because I am not a sex doll and every experience is organic. Giving you a mechanical run down of how an intimate experience may unfold isn't my style....restrictions listed on an ad should be a very clear guideline as to general boundaries.
when i brought a pack of masks and certain comrades *repeatedly* REFUSED to wear one because "whatever consequences happen I will gladly wear with pride" this is the only thing that crossed my mind. You're not brave, just a self centered jerk.
wanting your face to be seen during an action give off a certain type of vanity. this isnβt about you. your face doesnβt need to be seen. you are here with us and thatβs all that matters.
Accessing health care far more essential than concerts and poetry readings, actually. Speaking as someone who's attended both with KN95s. Gig workers have found ways to survive doing virtual stuff. Immunocompromised people have made enough sacrifices for the past 5 years. STFU!
'I can't access healthcare, that's more important than clean air at a concert or a poetry reading right now.'
Are you listening to music or watching movies or reading books to get through this? Do you know that artists make those things and they have to tour and make a living? +
@TheAgentNDN
Oh wow, are you serious? I'm covid conscious but my feed has been largely focused on Gaza. This would be an incredibly ironic thing honestly. Do you have any screenshots of what I have missed? π
THE PEOPLEβS UNIVERSITY FOR GAZA:
An autonomous encampment has been set up on UBC campus, adding to a growing student movement in solidarity with Palestine. Come to the field in front of the AMS Nest to support!!
"I, a white cishet man, am not in community with you bipoc queers and crips lmaooo"
Like yeah, obviously. Your community is literally people who look *exactly* like you and share your privileged identities.
You aren't accountable to anyone clearly. That's what community means.
Ran a quiet infiltration operation into the UCLA encampment and now down here with LASD whoβs staging now and preparing to make entry onto the to begin taking down the pro terror antisemitic encampment. Also had a good chat and deep dive with
@drphil
who came down for a debrief
@ElJonesPoet
This is infuriating but sadly it doesn't surprise me. I remember there being a whole men's rights conference hosted on campus while I was there, "it's OK to be white" posters, I mean Jordan Peterson was still a hot topic at that time too. Scary though it has gotten worse.
@yumcoconutmilk
Is this a new sort of sub type of pickme where they try to string together random dudebro armchair psychology talking points and try to present it as some sort of "obvious" common sense life advice that so clearly panders to young insecure men
@overdramatique
This is why I no longer use social media and the few times I do, my account is locked down private and I have maybe 8 followers, all people I know irl. It took 1 cyber stalking experience some 6 years ago now for me to move differently.

Between this and the fact that they simultaneously never offered/were expected to help with preparing family meals I legit hated my brothers so much lmfaooo. One time the oldest had the audacity to critique my mom's cooking and I ripped him to shreds.
This Mother's Day I'm sending so much love to: incarcerated moms, those grieving baby loss/infertility, newcomer+burnt out moms with 3 jobs, disabled+mad moms, sw moms, and those taking rest today from navigating strained/abusive relationships with their moms πππππ
@clarichawrites
I know of a man who has had covid 3 separate times in 3 different years, including LC, who has a newborn baby from September and he still wont mask. He co-organized a "childrens march 4 Gaza" in Nov with 0 masks in sight ππ΅βπ« loving kids so much u infect them with deadly virusπ
@MaritStiles
You still haven't apologized for this and the way you guys treated her at this time is the core reason why she's facing this vitriolic treatment currently! You guys manufactured consent for this. Take some accountability for once.
@sasa_ghada
So many people on all sides want Palestinians to be perfect victims, they aren't a monolith. I've never cared about personal views; one person's thoughts are irrelevant to a 75 year military occupation. No living being deserves to be occupied.
Do all the clients who complain about rate increases, not realize that so many of us have been forced into retirement, hiatus, and finding better jobs because of how class stratified and crazy this industry has become?
Like.....even just advertising has become inaccessible atpπ«
Gaslighting the entire world and majority of our settler society into this idea that we are some multicultural democratic utopia with free healthcare and 0 violent history of ongoing colonial occupation. ππ₯΄

The marginalized workers "surviving the sex trade" are the heart and gold of the working class women's movement you claim to care about according to your bio. What kind of white "antiracist" thinks it's appropriate to speak over others with lived experience they personally lack?
@LauraCohenSolo
Wow...the male audacity to think that people you HIRED in the past for their expertise, would pay you for the same service you have zero experience in. Lmfao. Also, good luck with "only female" clients as a man in this biz. Who do you think 99% of our clientele is.....

Every girl should be aware of their own internalized misogyny. Ain't no way you out here judging your sisters for choosing to divest from the toxic and oppressive beauty industry and conflating makeup skills with womanhood. No shade lmao but in 2024 - and beyond - work on that π
Every girl should have some type of basic makeup skills. Ainβt no way you canβt do a lil eyebrow, put on foundation just nothing. No shade lmao but in 2024 work on thatπ

@zippex6
I mean respectfully you are projecting here because most sex workers I know personally would much prefer to deal with penis vs papers for their way to make a living. Have u considered most fssw are neurodivergent or disabled in some way and can't work these 9-5 office jobs?
@KaroroMitchelle
Yep. Basically my entire paternal side, and most of the material too. The full quote is actually "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." There is no need to keep toxic unhealthy connections going regardless if they're blood related or not.

Besides Apple, Tesla and coltan/cobalt what are the top companies/industries to boycott/avoid?
@Quinveer
Have you met any sex workers in real life before, or do you just like to engage in these theoretical scenarios to avoid acknowledging your discomfort around the fact that a lot of us actually enjoy our work, and do stay in it long term because it suits our skills?
The genius in this is that primal screaming is actually a somatic exercise that can release trauma (especially helpful in this moment of collective grief) AND they're making big levels of noise without using any external tools in service of protest
@hausofriya
I'm going to be seriously honest rn I have driven to Belleville ON one time ever to drop supplies for Indigenous land defenders and that's the first time in my life where the feeling of "after dark" just felt.....off. very very off. Like I need to vacate FAST.

So many people are barely surviving right now, I am one of them. If you're reading this and you've considered ending it I just want you to know that you aren't alone, the world needs you here, and you deserve a better future after all the pain you've been through.
I LOVE YOU ππ
@SoniaSulaiman
Idk how relatable this will be, but often my procrastination comes from just not *wanting* to do something, so I reframe the task with the language of "your future self depends you to get this done 2 reach blessings, so just try your best, life isn't super fun every single day"
I'm a sex worker who uses this question as an icebreaker while meeting new suitors and as a check in when the returnees pop by.
It's actually a super cute and intimate question that will lead to a yes at best and a shy giggle at worst. π₯°
Please keep the people of Sudan in your minds and actions as well! This conflict has now created >4.1M IDPs, 1.1M refugees. The people of Sudan (not forgetting the South Sudanese ofc) have been suffering for decades now, it seems the world is totally silent. π₯Ίπ
#Sudan
#Khartoum
The number of comments I've seen on encampment social media posts from folks seriously asking "why is everyone wearing masks" frustrate me beyond belief like you can't think of ONE single reason people could be wearing a mask right now? π΅βπ«ππ
The ignorance is draining....π
I have a background in international law
Unlike Israel which targets civilians, it appears all of Iranβs attacks were against Israeli military bases. This is a legitimate form of self-defense under international law
I will never feel bad about having very few industry friends when some of you don't even see our entire existences as political yeah you aren't friends you're fucking opps. You goofy bitch.
@FemdomTherapy
Watching sex workers try and advocate for a group of people that would happily stone them blows my mind every day lmao. I had to mute the words lol. This is not the place to be an activist π
@RedCloudNine4
@eweissunburied
This you?
Funny how the only time you've even spoken up for Sudan is to purposely undermine Palestinians.
Almost like you only care about Black folks when you can use their pain to silence others. That's real nasty work, very anti Black.
The only hypocrite here is you.
@elle_carnitine
Thank you! Because some of the biggest ableism I've ever experienced has been in these "leftist" circles! The lack of community care, actions being inaccessible, no mask mandates, not even an acknowledgement sometimes about covid at all. It's very disorienting.
@1WhorechataPlz
I feel like we can't blame workers. Sex workers of all backgrounds don't tend to just do unsafe services for no reason. I blame the changing market and the bad clients who take advantage moreso than new girls who just don't know what they're up against. π
@CulturedGent
If you're a good client you won't take the complaints about bad tricks personally because you know we aren't talking about you. So if you're uncomfortable with the truth of our experiences then unfollow or divest from centering clienthood as a core part of your identity ππ
