Yep, that’s how the last election went. Thinking we’re too good for idiocy to prevail is definitely not enough.

There is no guarantee Dems will win the House and/or Senate. We need to get involved - donate, calls, hit the streets. Sitting back and hoping the GOP is just going to implode is NOT going to be enough.

I’m always amazed at how so very many Jezebel readers and similar peers are unable or unwilling to hear your experiences, needs, career POV, and expert opinion and separate those from coercive patriarchical moadels of sex work. I wish there was an article series clearing some of the conflations up.

Having now lost a primary means of independent advertising, lots of sex workers - me included - are now receiving offers from other websites for advertising at grossly inflated fees, and from individuals offering to “manage” us and “help” us find bookings for a cut of our earnings or other, how can I word this…

It’s so lazy and it’s amazing to me how accepted it still is. I was at the gym one time and happen to catch two broke girls and I was horrified. Not only do they have the exaggerated accent, but of course the asian man is sexless yet a horndog. Also, hungover the movie, I’m sure there are others I can’t think of right…

Unfortunately many countries have found that legalizing sex work doesn’t help with cracking down on trafficking. The US is a particularly difficult country to talk about, though, because there are fewer social services (e.g. welfare) in the US (compared to other western countries) that sex workers could turn to as an…

Can’t you just allow someone to be bitter and petty if they want? I bet you’re really fun at parties.

Plantains are AMAZING, and everything is better with cilantro and lime. And avocados, obvs.

Have an honest conversation with your husband. Does he know you’re not orgasming? If he doesn’t, he should, and if that doesn’t bother him, he needs to step up his game! Your lover and partner should want you to be enjoying yourself during sex, not just going along with it for his sake.

Thank you Novel S!

I agree with what others have said: Fire your realtor. A good realtor is worth their weight in gold and will be able to get you into a house, even in competitive markets. They just have to be willing to work for you, and it doesn’t seem like yours is. Find someone who specializes in working with clients using FHA…

Craft Thread!

Well I had a baby ten minutes before Monday was over. The placenta decided to rip itself away from my uterus in some sort of attempt to kill us both. That was the least fun I’ve ever had, but fortunately my intuition brought me to the hospital an hour earlier.

Also, not to derail too much, but can we also talk about how Duckie Dale taught a generation of guys that pushy, entitled, Nice Guy behavior was quirky and adorable rather than being borderline stalkery?

Me included, by the way. I spent a LOT of my teens acting like garbage because I thought I was a Manic Pixie…

Listen to me. See, I’m hip to your problems. All of ‘em. I know you abandoned Nicole when she needed you most... ‘cause I licked her sweet tears. I know about things comin’ apart at work. Maybe you fuckin’ lost it in that department. I also know you ain’t keepin’ up, so to speak, your end of the bargain with the…

Pretty sure that was my first awakening to what fingering is in my childhood. Also, that German Shepard scene? #nope I always cringe when that scene happens.

ahahaha this made me chuckle in real life. Small bit of brightness!

No video daily double?

I bet it is. Isn’t his wife an md?
