Some people are housebound. Bed bound. Some people physically can’t eat, shower, or use the toilet without the assistance of a caretaker. Some people don’t have the spoons to get out of bed in the morning, let alone work a 9-5 job in this capitalist hellhole.

You’re not lazy. You’re not less than.

And this is coming from a disabled person with chronic pain who can leave the house and walk (with some pain) without mobility aids.

You deserve to take up space. You deserve to cost money. You deserve to be here without feeling guilty just because you can’t give back in the traditional way.

So if you commission a video or photo set from an online sex worker, or patronise a live video chat... You can go to prison for up to a year.

When sex workers say they want decriminalisation and not legalisation, this is why... Decriminalisation means that laws pertaining to sex work are struck from the legal code, legalisation creates new laws to govern the industry which can be just as violent as full criminalisation with a progressive veneer, which is how you get know nothing's bleating "the Nordic Model" in a conversation that they have never been a stakeholder in.

No longer threatening to arrest you for carrying out your business doesn't mean much, while restricting where you can work, routinely arresting and incarcerating your clients, allowing landlords to evict you for being a sex worker, allowing banks to refuse your business...

This isn't a model that promotes mobility between professions, the ability to save for other plans whatever they be, investment with your income, stable housing, stable business as a sex worker.

And they found this "manifesto" and the gun by, I shit you not, taking his backpack away from the witnesses at the fast food joint. Turning off their body cameras. Unpacking the backpack. Repacking it. Bringing it back to where the witnesses were. And then "discovering" the gun and manifesto. This, a set of actions performed by a police force which has a long and legally adjudicated history of planting evidence on people.

in both cases: always start on the lowest setting and wrapped in something soft!! if it hurts, stop!!

But, re: sinuses: look up a diagram of where they are, and when a spot feels particularly good or is particularly congested, hold it there longer. Definitely keep tissues handy for when it drains. Also it can help if your sinuses hurt like fuck but aren't actually congested (which happened when I had covid), but the effect doesn't last long.

they're being boycotted because the harvesting of palm oil and sugar cane for their products, like oreos, kit kats, smarties, ritz, herbal essences, pantene (products being boycotted) is all harming the indigenous Melanesian communities of West Papua New Guinea. the way that these products are being harvested is straight up ecocide. the communities' rivers are poisoned. their forests are being cleared with nothing left

we NEED to care, boost the power of the Melanesian communities, speak up about it, and save their communities and this earth.

you can make oreos at home y'all
