Love to browse sex worker Reddit's and see that everyone is just as full of shit as they've always been. They're still doing fucking Law of Attraction Don't Fuck Your Sugar Daddy You Get Better Clients If You Just Charge More because they've been in the industry 15 minutes and don't realise that their position in the whorearchy is 10% their own ads/presentation/etc and 90% the economy they're working in
Fellow Aussies may know my girl Kim Hollingsworth from Underbelly: The Golden Mile or the irl news when she was a whistleblower of police corruption and a sex worker. We were Facebook friends briefly some years ago before one of us inevitably got deleted for being hookers and she told me that she's done everything from charging thousands of dollars an hour to giving blow jobs for twenty bucks in the passenger seat, and it had fuck all to do with her at all - it was entirely by external forces, primarily economic ones. Girls who think they can charge thousands of dollars an hour because they're just better businesswomen than the girls on the street are kidding themselves, and they're in for a rude awakening when things change
I worked based in the same town touring locally for something like 8 years and I had exactly zero experiences of violence or abuse while earning thousands of dollars a week if not a day, until suddenly over the course of less than six months the work just dried up. Websites I advertised on started disappearing. Clients I would ordinarily block became the only ones contacting me. My income was a couple hundred dollars a week. I was assaulted three times in a row before I finally gave up: the money was shit, the violence was insane, there was nowhere to go with it anymore. So I went from being the friend who always had money, whose kids had everything, who had savings for emergencies on hand immediately, to barely getting by on Centrelink within the same year
A little while after I retired, I looked online to see how the industry was doing. I found girls in my town advertising for $50 an hour (the average started at $300 when I was working) begging for bookings talking about how broke and desperate they are (never, ever do this btw)
This whole thing happened entirely because the local economy collapsed. Sex work is the first industry to fall apart because it's the least necessary. There's always paid sex but when this happens it shifts from a professionalised, full time gig to an informal barter and trade system of fucking your landlord instead of paying rent, or your drug dealer for drugs. The high range thousands an hour girls move away, the mid range girls find other jobs, the girls doing outdoor street based work experience even more violence and abuse
It's not about whether you show your ass in your pics or not I promise

If you like socialism so much, move to Lazytown and see how much you actually like it. Fucking idiot.

'being a creative/ artist is so isolating, the world is so harsh to us'
not isolating enough since i'm still hearing you talk about this like its a Real issue
There's an attitude I've been seeing more and more of where having any kind of artistic opinion that isn't praise is seen as some kind of faux pas designed to yuck people's yum or whatever, and while I understand the kneejerk response behind it I do have to wonder like. How sustainable do you think it is to foster an environment where even the most casual criticism is met with hoards of defensive with Whoa Mama Mia Cunt Let People Enjoy Things style comments

Do you have any resources on residential interior design in the DDR? I’m moving into a new place and want inspiration for decorating lol
okay so I thing the two DDR Museums in Erfurt and Berlin are the best, since in Berlin they build a typical prefabricated ("commie block") apartment that showcases one of the most common interiors within DDR.
In Erfurt theres a really large collection of literally everything including furniture.
Bookwise I have the german book "Das große DDR Design Buch" which covers consumption items and their history of DDR but I don't think theres an english translation sadly :/
theres also this book but it doesn't really include interiors
DURING ITS FOUR-plus decades of existence, the GDR was a unique geopolitical paradox. Its place at the heart of the Cold War conflict belied

the thing is that rape is eroticized and romanticized allll the time in big ways and small thru all sorts of media - books, movies, erotica - but instead of treating this like something that should be seriously examined, it's treated like something that must be excised. as tho we can abolish rape by banishing certain reactions to rape. it's like ppl don't even want to question why bodice rippers were so popular or why dark romance is so big or why so much of what has been considered consensual sex in so much media is now (i think in many cases rightfully) considered rape (by which i mean we now understand certain circumstances - such as a sober person having sex with someone too drunk to remember anything - as having the potential to cause quite a lot of pain). they want to say, "well, it's bad bc it's romanticized. and when rape is seen as anything other than horrible it's wrong." but ofc rape has not been seen as horrible and is not seen as horrible in so many situations. this is something that rape victims have always had to live with; the situation of their pain not being taken seriously bc in many cases it is not even seen as rape. marital rape, for example, was legal in the us until the 1970s and wasn't illegal nationwide until the 90s! rape is embedded in structure of our societies, so much a part of the substrate that it is often invisible to ppl. when the idea that certain ppl can be forced to have sex is so popular, so old, and so crucial to sexual politics then ofc it is a notion that becomes romanticized and eroticized. and yet it somehow becomes unspeakable to be too explicit abt this. it becomes "contributing to rape culture" to write a work that finds rape hot or romantic or in any way anything but a grueling, dismal, disgusting thing to talk abt. i don't think it's giving in to rape culture to "allow" works that engage with rape on levels beyond pure aversion. i think it actually threatens our ability to earnestly fight back against sexual violence to pretend there is one believable way to respond to sexual violence. as if victims are entirely cut off from the eroticization that is in the tap water! and you can say the way we talk abt rape in general is bad (i agree), but i just don't agree with acting like victims can't have these feelings... when the conditions feel or are inescapable, sometimes the answer is to find those conditions hot.
