One of the most perverse problems we see on the fediverse is people being shitty in our mentions about us and our work.
One of the things that keeps us on Twitter is, actually, that they do a better job of moderating that than a good chunk of the large instances here.

Porn addiction may not be real, but our clients are always obsessed with us 💅🏼
(And we adore them for that :kiss:)

Psst! if you're US-based the ACLU is trying to do something about this! Donate if you can. And, if you show me (@npub1shx…gv62) a receipt for a donation of $50 or greater I'll give you a 6 month free subscription.

A couple noteworthy things that have happened recently:
1) as mentioned before, linktree has decided that adult links are bad. It seems like beacons.ai is a good replacement right now
2) Payment processors fucked us all over once again, this time with gumroad.
The second one is something I've (@npub1shx…gv62) been thinking about lately. This squeeze is going to continue happening. Sites like manyvids and fansly will be amongst the last to fall, but probably will anyway if people continue to accept these outcomes. In recent weeks I've seen a few creators begin offering cryptocurrency payment options as a hedge against this growing problem.
I'm fully in support of this trend. While I broadly find crypto to be deeply odious for reasons many of you likely already know, I see value in its utility in helping marginalized people and professions get paid. The people who want to see sex workers chased out of existence deserve to have their job made as hard for them as possible and crypto offers such an avenue.

Parents can sue creators or fans who post adult content to Twitter and Reddit, say legislators behind Alaska's AB254 age-verification law, arguing a child might see it.Age verification laws coming for sex workers and their fans? Who could have guessed! :pika:

A highly engaging piece on "AI": "On Being an Outlier" by @npub1q97…hz06.
While there were no direct mentions of sex work, we are also harmed by algorithmic inference in all the same ways as enumerated by the article.
Thanks to @npub1rkt…sqek for highlighting the article and author 👇👇👇

Why does this page boost ads and promotion from sex workers in addition to the longer-form content? Because we don't believe that knowledge about sex workers can be divorced from the people actually doing the work.
Arguably we could have created separate pages for boosting SWs and the educational content we put out, and commonly held wisdom about creating any kind of publication is that we should have done that, but we want people to follow us to see the Whole picture, not just one aspect.

2024-02-19 18:55:40

A heads-up to all sex workers (and, actually, all small business owners...) promoting on Instagram:
due to a new update, your link in bio could redirect to Instagram's SPAM warning instead and make you lose business!
This is random and doesn't affect all accounts yet but be sure to check!
Based on reports, switching to Linktree, Beacons or Allmylinks won't fix this!

A sex worker on spookygirl recently got a comment on a post that included the below quote. Let's talk about it.Futher, despite the bleating about poor people, I dont know how many prosties you know, but I've known literally 100s due to a 'street people' life, and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM uses it to finance their drug/alcohol habit. The booshie perception its all lingere and nice tricks who dont beat or rob you is BULLSHITFirst, I've left the quote unattributed because it's not about who said it, it's about the sentiment expressed. Specifically I want to talk about the belief that people doing full service subsistence sex work are all drug addicts or morally inferior to someone in a more societally acceptable position somehow. Usually the two beliefs are intertwined.
Second, the picture that's painted by the quote is a real depiction of what life is like for some sex workers. Violent clients are a real concern. So, keep in mind that I'm not saying that everything is roses for all of us. I'm saying that society teaches us to conflate the job with the drugs and that's wrong. It should make you wonder about who's teaching that and why.
In my (@npub1shx…gv62) past life I worked for Very Big tech companies and in my time in tech I saw people addicted to alcohol, coke, and meth (I don't mean Adderall). These were people making six figures or more. This wasn't isolated to my immediate social circles either, it was apparent everywhere: some people struggled with addiction. Even further back in my life I worked retail, you know who else struggled with addiction? Some of my coworkers.
So, what's the difference between someone making six figures addicted to coke vs a subsistence sex worker with the same addiction?
Money and the conferred status it grants. That's it.
The money means some things, of course. The tech worker can afford to miss work, likely has healthcare that will fully pay for addiction treatment if they want it, and many tech companies treat addiction like a fully medical problem and will hold your job while you receive treatment for it.
Addiction isn't something that only affects a particular group of people. It's a multi-faceted problem that is influenced by many, many factors such as economic, social, biological, and more.

I don't know who needs to hear this but sex work doesn't kill.

We guarantee you that Nkechi Diallo, previously named Rachel Dolezal, is not the only educator with an onlyfans.
You have almost certainly had a teacher or professor that's done sex work.

A brief and incomplete privacy guide for (sex workers) on the fediverse:
1. Ask your server admin to turn on "authorized fetch".
This helps ensure that your posts can only be seen by who you want. Unfortunately this isn't something you can turn on yourself.
(Psst! It's enabled on spookygirl.boo, a server just for sex workers!)
2. Get to know the kinds of post visibility you can pick.
The first is "Global", this is roughly the same as Twitter default privacy and is pretty easy to understand. Next is "Unlisted," this one is trickier but it's essentially "my followers and the followers of anyone who boosts the post." Next is "followers only" which is pretty obvious with one caveat: if you don't have follower approvals turned on, this is basically the same as "Global," since anyone can follow you. Last is "Mentioned people only" which is how DMs work here.
3. Consider using automatic post expiration.
Mastodon allows you to set up your profile so your posts auto-delete after some amount of time that you choose, unless it has some number of favorites or boosts, etc. It can help you out by limited the amount of free pics people can get from your profile and keep those old rant posts from being dug up.
4. True on twitter, true here too: block early and often.
The dark secret of the fediverse is that it only has theoretically better moderation than corporate platforms, but in practice it's worse right now. There's just as many bad actors here as there are elsewhere, and there's no algorithm that automatically helps deal with them. The upshot is that mass-blocking is easier. You can block entire servers instead of just individuals. The Bad Space can help you decide if a server is worth blocking, though bear in mind that it's still itself in development.
Really important fact about blocking: it's most effective when your server has authorized fetch (see no. 1 above) turned on. Without authorized fetch, posts with global or unlisted visibility can still sometimes be seen by people you blocked! This is why authorized fetch is the very first privacy tip in this list.

If you'd like to know more about this you can get a good start on the subject by reading Deviations by Gayle Rubin. It broadly covers queer theory, and is quite a dense read, however it's organized as an anthology, so you can just read the essays on this subject. It's worth considering that it is an anthology of specifically Gayle Rubin's work, who is a white woman and is inherently influenced by that intersection of identities.

Reminder that the idea that porn is inherently objectifying (or somehow intrinsically exploitative of women) is TERF rhetoric. It's also a dog whistle for people who want to score feminist points but who are anything but feminists.
The idea has been around for awhile, but it became most firmly entrenched in the US (the only region @npub1shx…gv62 is qualified to speak on) during second wave feminism when Christian fundamentalists deliberately infiltrated the feminist movement to set it back and introduce ideas that would make it easier to co-opt. This idea wasn't explicitly introduced by these agents, it was a concept being explored within the movement in general, however it was subsequently abandoned because it doesn't stand up to even very light critique. The Christian agents however saw it's usefulness in advancing their agenda and pushed hard on it.
The efforts of the Christian agents ultimately wound up helping create the radical feminism movement which is a gateway ideology to draw people into being TERFs and fascists.

Hey. US-based people! KOSA is bad. It's bad for LGBTQIA+ people, it's bad for sex workers, and it's bad for YOU. Call and write your representatives now!
Under the guise of "protecting the children" (sometimes "think of the children," a right wing dog whistle for at least 100 years here in the US) law markers will be able to pressure platforms to remove content that's considered "harmful" to minors. And, they've already said, on record, that means queer content.
This affects you too, yes even you, cis-het men, because the bill is overly broad and can easily be used to censor anything.

2024-01-30 21:19:05

It's so disheartening that this is how people here treat sex workers here. You're pushing us away from a platform that we really want to invest time in, because the benefits are clear. But when shit like this happens it reminds us that this platform, more than corporate ones in many ways (!), doesn't protect us in the ways that matter.
Many moderators and server admins don't even consider the theft of our work something that should be taken seriously and will allow bad actors to keep posting stolen work.

Something to understand if you want to engage with topics affecting sex workers: while there are undoubtedly some journalists and media organizations that are capable of (occasionally) representing what we do accurately and fairly, the overwhelming majority are not.
This is because of the amount of stigma associated with this profession.
The best sources for accurate, up to date, information about us is from publications run by us, like this one, or others such as SWOP or many accounts run on Twitter, such as Ashley Lake, or Doctrix Snow, who we might add, has a literal fucking PhD.

Did you know that end of year is one of the slowest times for sex workers?
Starting at roughly the beginning of Q4 sales slow down to a trickle as people spend more time doing other things like spending time with family and close friends.
This slowdown hurts those of us with the least the most, and can often mean that we don't have enough money for food, critical medications, rent, plane tickets to see our own families, let alone gifts.
So, if you've been wondering why you may be seeing more ads from us than usual in your timeline, that's why.
Considering tipping us so we can enjoy this time of year too!

To be clear: the way we're treated is in no way acceptable, nor is this view a new one, just that it can help clarify and be a starting point to examine your biases.

If you think about it, the way people treat sex workers makes total sense: what we do is art, and society disrespects artists of all kinds. Sex workers just get the bonus of working with a stigmatized medium.
This perspective applies no matter what kind of sex work you're talking about, it's a matter of different venues and traditions. Sex work is a lot of other things too, not just art, but make no mistake every one of us is giving you an artistic experience when you engage with us.
