happy summer to dykes in tank tops and basketball shorts, goths who’s makeup is melting, little kids catching frogs and fireflies, guys who just bring their guitar everywhere now, 13 yr olds very obviously in their emo phase during a family vacation, gas station employees, old people sitting on porches, and dogs swimming at the beach
she’s 100% correct btw and a lot of you are one carefully-worded pitch away from chucking away every ounce of autonomy your forebears threw themselves under cars and racehorses to grant you
She deleted these follow-up tweets to the one above, but yeah she’s absolutely right all the way around.
The argument that people buying sexual services are bad, is a SWERF Trojan Horse in your mind.
People who commission erotica are morally neutral.
People who commission erotica art are morally neutral.
People who buy porn are morally neutral.
People who watch Cam streams are morally neutral.
People who go to strip clubs/hire strippers are morally neutral.
People who visit brothels are morally neutral.
People who hire escorts and outcall sex workers are morally neutral.
People who visit sex venues, hire kink specific sex workers etc
It’s all morally neutral.
You cannot say you support sex workers, if you don’t support their right to a safe industry free of needless shame and shaming.
CW: sex, discussions of sex
While we’re on it, you are allowed to visit sex workers if you want to and you have the means. For literally any reason.
Maybe you’re really shy, and other girls are so pretty, but they’re intimidating and you feel like a win would help your confidence?
Maybe you’re just stressed, you’ve been working really hard and you want somebody to dig their fingers into your back?
I, a former sex worker, once paid a sex worker purely to talk about their interests for half an hour because I was lacking human contact during the pandemic lockdowns and figured it would also help support them while they couldn’t safely do their job. (It was mostly cats and high art) Sometimes you don’t even have to have sex, sometimes it’s just about company or just that tiny bit of intimacy of contact.
Decriminalisation is basically the only way to make it safe and consentual.
And to those saying you can’t consent if money is involved, try dying your hair or having tattoos or piercings and working a retail job, apparently your employer has more right to dictate what you do with your body than you do… Was the chemical burns I got from one job more consentual than the heavily negotiated sex I was involved in professionally because the latter made someone cum and the former just made them richer?
one of the best things ever is when u find a really talented artist whos obsessed with an obscure/unpopular character and just lovingly draws their underrated guy 30 times a day even tho all their posts get 5 notes. these ppl are the backbone of society. they’re thriving theyre mentally unchained
Just because a show was cancelled doesn’t mean you should stop watching it entirely. If you keep watching and showing support for the cancelled shows, they can absolutely come back (ie Bleach, Clone High, Minx).
Keep the fan base alive. Keep making fanart, fanfictions, character analyses, etc. If other corporations see that there are people that still want more, they can pick the show back up.
I have had it with this likescolding. “Tumblr doesn’t have an algorithm so likes don’t actually do anything” motherfucker I am not clicking that heart to give some post better ~algorithmic visibility~ I am clicking that heart to help my internet friend microdose on serotonin as god fucking intended
