@Migueldeicaza You should be able to shame billionaires without implied disdain towards honest sex workers.
@dcdeejay I worked as a no-contact dominatrix in downtown Vancouver for 6 months in my 20s & earned just under $8000 for literally whipping fucked up men(ages 22-64) with a leather switch & feeding literal man-babies with a bottle & changing their diapers. I wore a men's style business pants suit most times & never allowed any touching whatsoever.
Only once did a man try to grab me - I stabbed him twice, in the thigh with a knife.

I'm open about who I am & my lived experiences. I don't give a fuck who wants to judge me for being a human who had different experiences than the people who love to judge others for no good reason. I think the people who judge people like me - probably are filled with much worse sinful shit that they want to keep secret forever - in their own heads and/or they've actually committed real violent crimes & are living double/triple lives.
If we had #UBI back then & now - poor people like me would not have needed to juggle 3 jobs while trying to pay for our own higher education goals. If you thought someone like me would never need to do any type of #SexWork - you're wrong. Many of us had to do some of that because we had to pay for our own way to try to obtain higher education. I hid this shit for decades. I'm not hiding anymore.
If you're uncomfortable reading this - you should be. What are you going to do to help others who are in the same desperate place that I was in, decades ago?

The phrase "mattress actress" showed up in my feed recently and it got me wondering: Do porn stars get royalties from streaming and DVD sales, or is the lack of them part of what makes #OnlyFans necessary?

Had you heard about sex workers getting caught up in ICE raids? I sure hadn’t.
Per Truthout:
In other labor sectors, worksite raids sparked massive outpourings of solidarity and creative resistance, including “Adopt a Day Laborer” campaigns and street vendor buyouts. But sex workers are left to fend for themselves.
“Our undocumented sex worker fam are terrorized and without resources,” wrote Cocoa Makati, coordinator of DecrimSexWorkCA. Sex work is migrant women’s day labor; massage parlors are their “Home Depot.”
