I know that people make Gilead jokes about the current climate of women’s rights. Read the Handmaids Tale we are already pretty close to this eventuality. Reproductive rights, incels, backlash against sex work and porn. It didn’t even take worldwide infertility to make it happen.
Sure we won’t probably end up with Handmaids But we will end up with women losing rights May westerners want to hate on Muslims for denying women’s right and then turn and deny ‘Christian’ women rights. Abortion, the morning after pill, choosing your sexual partner, rape culture.
As in the book it started with a backlash against porn and sex work. And that backlash was lead by hysterical feminists who could not, would not listen to reason, that some people CHOOSE to do sex work. Some people CHOOSE to do porn. And we have that right.
We have told the world that SESTA\FOSTA is just the beginning of many rights being taking away and the world does not want to listen. It’s time to make the next 2 years count. If Trump gets another term, it could be catastrophic.

Sex workers, stigma and mental health.
A thread

Dedicated to my darling friend. (You know who you are)
😍😍😍😍😍
Last week a dear friend and I were chatting.

We both revealed to each other a very big thing.
We are both struggling with depression.
I can’t speak for my awesome friend’s symptoms, but mine involves panic attacks.
Attacks so great...I fear I am dying. ☠️💀☠️💀
I wake in the middle of the night convinced I’m suffering an embolism. That I have mere minutes to live and all the things I’ve hoped to achieve will be gone. I’ll be dead, lost in obscurity. Never to be remembered, never having achieved anything. All my dreams lost.

Are the Australian Adult Industry Awards rigged?
A thread.
On Wednesday night the Australian Adult Industry Awards were held. A function that claims to recognise the best in our industry. And on Thursday the usual complaints began that the awards are rigged.
Let’s take a look
Full disclosure here.

I was nominated for 4 awards. I didn’t nominate myself for any of these awards although you can nominate yourself. Nominations for Alpha and Industry Ambassador really took me by surprise. I didn’t win.
I’m not bitter in the least.
It’s really true what they say. It’s an honour that someone nominated me. I feel touched that whoever did thought I deserve some recognition. That was very nice of you whoever you are, thank you.
I had fun that night, many people there did.

Catfishing, Racisim and Sex Work
A Thread

If you’ve been a provider for even a short length of time you’ve had a prospective client ask for photos. Regardless of the fact you may have lots of photos in your advertising, this client wants more.
When you ask them why the 10 or so photos on your ads plus the selfies you place on social media aren’t enough they tells you they’ve “been fooled before”
What they are referring to is something called “catfishing”
We’ve all seen the MTV show.
Person A meets person B online but when they finally meet, person B isn’t who they said they were.
So catfishing in sex work is when the photos in the advertisement don’t match the sex worker in person.

People have asked me my opinion on @dinatokio and honestly, I think it's best to just leave her alone. Do I think hijab is fard? Sure. Do I think people make it their full-time job to police women's clothing? Also yes. Call to good - don't just shame her for wearing hats.
The number of people on her latest Instagram saying she should just take her whole scarf off if she's going to wear a hat is too high.

In what world would it be okay to encourage somebody to wear fewer clothes because they don't wear a headscarf?
Since when, in the history of Islam, has anybody ever EVER said to tell people to wear less if they're not going to wear it properly?

Like really think through what you're saying, guys.

This Day in Labor History: October 10, 1917. Police shut down New Orleans' red light district, Storyville. Let's talk about how sex workers are workers and the moralistic shame these workers have had to put up with forever.
First and foremost, prostitutes and other people in the sex industry are workers no different than the rest of us. They usually have a very crappy job, yes. But it is a job. It is an economic choice. Often, it is an economic choice made by an economy that gives women few options.
The moralistic condemnation of these workers is another way we divide the working class in ways that hurt all workers. It is unacceptable, in 1917 and in 2018. We need to make these jobs safer and provide people with more economic options.

I have this "thing". It really bothers me when the people, who are supposed to be served by their representatives over donor money, have documents withheld for a SCOTUS appointment.

So - stay tuned for a big Kavanaugh document dump.

The biggest achievement the devil has ever had was convincing people that he doesn't exist. Fall for his trap and he'll attack when u least expect him.

My friend's roommate was a victim.

A thread.
#Threadist
We've seen so many fiction movies and documentaries that at the end of the day have one common message. That the devil doesn't exist. Now think of it this way..if the devil doesn't exist, does God exist ? MAYBE this is why more people are becoming atheist.. Not that I'm judging.
Everyone has a right to believe in whatever they want vele. My friend's roommate was one of those that don't believe in the supernatural and God.The world was a live-and-die process for her.That soon changed when she was sucked in what she thought can be explained psychologically

It's tempting to go through 2014 and 2016-2018 Twitter and find the overlap among people who dismissed an actual Nazi-front harassment campaign as "mean words online" and those who shame the left for not being nicer to conservatives.
All this right-wing, culture-war bullshit is literally connected by a handful of right-wing billionaires and GG was, per Bannon, a large part of establishing angry mobs and botnets as a serious conservative political strategy.

But the problem is mean jokes about Ivanka.
And it seems like a lot of the same voices currently decrying "liberal smugness" and crying censorship when someone side-eyes Bari Weiss were the same people who kept telling the targets of GG/Rabid Puppies/Incels/Actual fucking Nazis that they were making a big deal about WORDS.
