FAT SEX WORKERS ARE IMPORTANT.

SUPPORT FAT SEX WORKERS.

FAT SEX WORKERS DESERVE RESPECT.

Ya’ll get called whores bc ppl want to dehumanize you but you aren’t facing customers IRL so while it hurts your feelings you’re also not at risk of being stabbed and robbed by an angry customer like a trans worker was last year. 

Because as an adult, this pervasive notion that there exists a perfect path for everyone, that people should love what they do, and that work is meant to function as a vehicle for fulfilling a person’s grand life destiny is not only inaccurate for many of us, it can be toxic.

The ideal is so ingrained that I have to remind myself constantly I’m not a failure because I don’t adore my job, and because I’m not rocking the world with my work. That is okay. 

he got the CO detector out, saw that it was in dangerous levels (there was a problem with an underground parkade in his building, iirc), calmly went “shit”, and went to the hospital. If he didn’t get that advice, he would most likely be dead now.

The best part? He didn’t get a webcam app or anything. He just made a folder, called it Webcam, and called it a night in his carbon monoxide induced delirium.

Added a few other options, Anon :) 

Nature

Daryl Davis is a Chicago blues musician, who uses his friendship with KKK to convince members to leave this organization. He successfully persuaded 25 former white supremacists that there’s another way. Davis has his own strategy, he explains and talks to people in more than friendly way, that allows to prevent usual misunderstanding. 

‘They may be yelling and screaming or pounding the table, but at least they’re talking, they’re not fighting.’

Davis choose to disarm them with polite conversation and smile. And this worked out. 

It doesn’t mean he’s anti-Black, he just chose his own path. No need to spread fake facts. This is very important!

It wasn’t sunshine and kittens, because KKK members are not uwu widdle babbes who just need a fwend, they are violent dickheads and it takes an extraordinary person to handle them with confidence and chill.

And all of you in the comments blithering about how “this is how you stop facism/racism/nazis,” take note: white supremacists should not expect to be able to run roughshod over the rights of others until someone extraordinary with the patience of a saint and balls as big as all outdoors changes their minds. It would be great if they do change their minds, but until then, we should all be concerned with making sure they don’t take over and kill more people.

Those of us with privilege should be protecting those without, no matter what. Don’t allow abuse to go on without response because it doesn’t feel “loving/peaceful/non-violent” to stop it.

Here’s a link to the episode, it’s amazing, and Daryl Davis is amazing.
