Why working in porn is better than working in gaming or literature

Porn is better than working in gaming because interactions actually occur with people and content. Porn is better than working in literature because .... interactions actually occur with people, content, and money. Or literally anything. Working in literature is like singing alone in a spacious opera house, at night, in the dark. Who cares?

In porn, people actually like what I do and they say so, vehemently and often. People pay for the content I create, and are happy to do so. No one buys porn out of pity or discomfort with my poverty. Porn is better than literature because I would rather deal with yet another white male cishet dipshit (they are predictable and directable) than...an endless wall of literally nothing. It’s not even a comparison. One of these is worth my time.

Porn is better than gaming because I’m not just a content mill where nothing I do will ever do anything except disappear into the commercial void , returning as money from anonymous quiet people who do not identify themselves and will never speak of my work. No one in porn is paying me because I’m poor. No one subscribes to my porn feeds out of a feeling of guilt or injustice.

Unlike gaming or literature, in porn I'm not a deniable asset. In porn I don't have to constantly dumb myself down to deal with repressed assholes who are afraid of living life. In porn no one expects or believes the world to be PG-13.

People want to collaborate in porn.

There is no fake ass "solidarity" in porn.

Fake people are easier to identify in porn.

There are no rules lawyers in god damn porn.

No one expects me to do their work for them in porn.

In porn, I don't have to colour inside someone else's lines.

In porn, I don't have to dumb things down for the American market & mindset.

In porn no one moves the date of a major release of my content without telling me

NO ONE STEALS MY CONTENT AND PASSES IT OFF AS THEIR OWN IN PORN

By the Sea’s Salts and the Sky’s Gardens , I am ill of it.

The Typewriters are burning. Turn the page.

I would really really love it if I didn't keep having to interact with police.

Older women are so, so beautiful, and older trans women are no exception. Celebrate the beauty of our elders! Celebrate trans beauty!

I wanted to share some more of these, specifically trans women of color. The images I'm posting are from a project called To Survive On This Shore and it's an interview project. I am only posting a handful so it's so worth checking out!

This is Linda, 60

Alexis, 64

Helena, 63

Kendrah, 72 (!!)

Tasha, 65

It was deeply healing to me to discover this project. The site has selected photos and attached interviews and it's definitely worth your time. I didn't include any because the focus of this post imo is transfems but there are a lot of beautiful interviews with transmasc people too if you're interested! But that'll have to be another post 💖

for those interested, the photographer is Jess T. Dugan. The link to this particular project is as follows:

hey so you know even if the trans girl doesn't pass you still have to use her pronouns right?

even if she doesn't "try to pass" she still deserves the same basic respect you give everybody else.

even if she's done something bad that doesn't excuse you misgendering her on purpose.

i'm so sick of people treating trans people's pronouns as some kind of reward you get if you've been a good tranny.

this goes for those who use neopronouns too i dont care how "weird" you think it is especially if you're trans yourself.

it really is that easy :)

It's absolutely crazy that intellectual labor can wipe you out. It seems like it shouldn't be a thing, like your stores of brain juice shouldn't be able to be depleted in that way.

I feel like a wizard that's out of spell slots, and to me that's a hackish mechanical limitation put in place to try to balance the classes.

#it's fucked and it's bad design #i should be able to write and edit for 20 hours a day #i'm just sitting there how are we even using energy #feels made up (via @softest-punk, emphasis mine)

Your brain is an incredibly energy-intensive organ. It makes up approximately 2% of your total body mass, but at rest it's using 22% of your total energy intake. The only thing that uses the same percentage of energy is all of your skeletal muscle (which is about 40% of your total body mass), with the liver (about 2.6% of your total mass) close behind at 21% (Aragon et al, 2017).

And that's how much energy it's using at rest.

That's the baseline.

So if you're doing lots of intellectual labour, your brain - which already has disproportionately huge energy demand - is going to use even more energy to keep up with the work. That's why you feel so wiped/drained/like you're out of spell slots after high intellectual demand - because your brain is an organ, and you've just done a lot of high-energy work with a high-energy organ.

Feed your brain.

you have to be kinder to people with memory issues.

you have to be kinder to people who are slow processors.

you have to be kinder to people who don't understand your jokes.

you have to be kinder to people who forget important dates.

you have to be kinder to people with cognitive decline.

you have to be kinder to people who were always this way, too.

you have to be kind. you have to be kind.

There's always a moment of intense cultural whiplash whenever I realize I'm talking to someone who thinks "legal" and "illegal" are meaningful categories and ascribes innate goodness to following the law. It's like meeting a space alien.

This kind of response to things I say about sex work, which isn't always phrased like this but almost always focuses on me being male or a man or my pronouns, shows a fundamental misunderstanding of why mansplaining is bad.

I am a sex worker. I have been for a decade. The majority of people I know are sex workers and I'm embedded in sex worker community. I started before 18 and have done it in brothels, cars, my own home, clients' homes, saunas, and hotels.

It's absolutely reasonable to criticize men who speak on issues they don't experience like an authority, especially when they speak over women to do it. It is not reasonable to raise someone's gender (or in this case, pronouns) as a reason their thoughts aren't worth hearing when the issue is one they do face.

Hey yall I just wanted to come on here and bring some attention to what’s happening at the detention center (really a concentration camp) Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey. There is a hunger strike going on right now to protest the abhorrent conditions within the camp (allegations of torture, maggots and other bugs in the food, etc) and protests happening outside the camp. ICE is not allowing any politicians to come in (as is their right) to see the conditions of the camp. I would urge yall to do your own research, but if you want videos of some people who are actually there, here are some tik tok accounts you can go follow: @ bethanyquilter/ @ whoiskingtrivv/ @ Status Coup News/ @ L.A. TACO

And here is a video explaining what’s going on in more detail than I provided.

With everything else going on in the world, it can be hard to keep up with stuff going on at home, but ICE is still out here terrorizing innocent people. We must keep our eyes on them, and keep fighting.

Feel free to add more sources or info to this post, should you have any.

I found this linktree here that has a master list of ways to help the detainees inside Delaney Hall: https://linktr.ee/SupportOurFamilies

Please support immigrant families by donating to the GoFundMe's below and purchasing supplies via Amazon Wishlist to support detainee visito

I have heard that protestors outside need medical supplies, but I can’t find the best way to provide that if you are not nearby.

thebleeding-heart

their needs are changing rapidly, they mostly need Sudecon wipes and gas masks, last I heard, but the only way is to bring them directly there. for the most part they are asking people to join them there and hold the line, if possible. next best thing is to donate and call NJ reps to demand an end to the detention and torture!

obedientlyviolentshepherd

They are brutalizing the strikers while filling the room with mace and it was only after 2 hrs of calls to 911 and sustained protestor presence for ems to even evacuate one person to the hospital. Please help us stay mobilized. The more people that can be sustained protesting outside the facility, the less ICE agents are spending time brutally beating and macing the hunger and labor strikers.

Its on a busy trucker route and there has already been at least one protestor pushed by ice and held in the path of an 18-wheeler crushing his foot. they chased a medic down the road and detained him for hours leaving him brutalized under a random overpass in Newark. They tazed someone running away causing them to fall into the deeply polluted ditch bc all the land here is a brownfield that legally shouldnt have anyone touching it, let alone have detainment camps built there

These are some sources i trust for people who want to donate for medical supplies

and dont let anyone forget the actual demands of the strikers

An additional resource you all can visit to see how you can help is this website. For those who can’t click on the link, it’s handsoffnyc.com/delaneyhall. Shoutout to @mycatisadictedtogarbanzobeans for the additional info.

Update (5/29/26) according to @ whoiskingtrivv and @ adamcrai on tik tok (you can watch their video directly here): state police have blocked off the road to Delaney Hall and are requiring you to show ID before you can enter. THIS IS NOT OKAY!!! It’s also mentioned that if you are going to drive there, please make sure everything in your vehicle is up to date as the love to tow peoples cars. Also take a picture of where you parked your car. If you’re going in person, please stay safe. I will continue to update as I see more information.

As always, if you have resources or info, please share them by either reblogging this post or you can message me directly. Please continue spreading the word, the more eyes on this the better.

lanfan

Amidst all the bad, here is a little bit of an uplifting update. Please watch this video by @ adamcrai on tik tok showing the hostages within the detention center hearing and supporting the protesters outside. It genuinely made me tear up. Let this be motivation for the continued fight.

miss-mrea

I’ve already seen this being hidden and suppressed on social media. This NEEDS to be known about and not forgotten or pushed aside by whatever that fucking disgusting orange hemorrhoid in the White House throws at us next.

THIS IS NOT OKAY.

THIS IS NOT NORMAL.

THIS IS FASCISM.

KEEP FIGHTING!
