If you're at work in a retail or hospitality environment and you see a sex worker with a client... no you didn't.

If your boss asks you if you think that person's a sex worker, you tell them you do not believe that. You don't report their presence to anyone. You don't joke about it with a coworker. You don't eavesdrop or bother them.

We're working the same as you are. Leave us alone!

[mxjackparker]

Some examples of situations where you might need to keep your mouth shut about a potential sex worker:

You see someone you don't recognize walk past reception at your hotel to head directly for the stairs or elevator or towards the rooms without acknowledging you at the reception desk. Yes, this includes when the person is wearing revealing clothing or a nice dress and heels. This is not your business.

You notice multiple men going to the same hotel room during the same evening, each only staying for an hour or so at a time. This is not your business.

You seat two customers for dinner and work as their waiter/waitress for the night. You see one give an envelope of cash to the other. Yes, this includes when there's a huge age gap between the two and they're being affectionate. This is not your business.

You overhear one customer ask another how much they charge for a night, whilst making drinks for them. You heard nothing. This is not your business.

I do not care what kind of retail or hospitality setting you work in. If you see a sex worker, no you didn't!

[astra-the-dragon]

if the cops get involved, you know who gets punished? not any of the clients, only the sex worker. not a pimp, not the hotel manager, only the worker; and the cops are liable to sexually assault them as well.

if you have any qualms about sex work, you can start by improving workers' rights as a whole. demilitarizing police. increasing comprehensive sex ed for all ages. battling misogyny in the workplace. under the boot of capitalism, we all suffer - the most vulnerable, such as sex workers, suffer worst. leave them be.

there's probably a documented name for this phenomenon but a few days ago i had something of a revelation about approaching confrontation when i went after yet another owner of an unleashed dog at a park, this time chasing a rabbit into the reeds where i was crouched and scaring the shit out of me and several birds. the confrontation went exactly as follows:

me: "whose fucking dog is this?"

dog owner: "it's mine!"

me: "are you going to put a leash on that thing?"

DO "yes, i'm working on it."

me "why would you take a dog to a park with wildlife and let it off leash?"

DO: [silence]

me: "why would you do that???"

DO: "because i'm an asshole."

me: "... uh. yeah. good job, because you're an asshole."

i then left, a little bit stunned by that response, and we very pointedly avoided each other for the rest of our respective walks at the park. it occurred to me that what brought out that answer involved not making a single accusation, only demands for an explanation-- not unlike asking someone to explain a tasteless joke, sometimes the best approach to making people realize they've done something stupid is making them explain it themselves.

anyway, dog lady will likely never see this, but cheers to you for admitting you were an asshole. maybe next time you consider letting your high-efficiency rabbit-killing machine off leash you'll think twice and remember the raving maniac that stumbled out of the reeds and publicly humiliated you.

the great thing about the wuxia genre is you can start a sect called the Evil Blood Cult in a place called Demon Mountain that’s a volcano full of poison and you all wear crazy gothic black and red hanfu and practice Sinister Backstabber Style kung fu and like. that’s not a deterrent to prospective disciples. do all that and a fuckton of bright eyed youngsters will still show up at your door and say hello i would like to join the demon mountain evil blood cult where do i sign up?

thinking fondly of the time that my girlfriend heard the opening bars of holding out for a hero at the gay bar and asked "is this touhou music?"

holy shit. holding out for a Wriggle at the the end of the Nightbug

[coelasquid]

I mean Jim Steinman wrote Holding Out for a Hero, and the movie Streets of Fire - which he also wrote two of the best known songs for - had a meteoric effect on pop culture and especially video games in Japan, so it’s not inconceivable they’d be like “make this sound like Jim Steinman Music”

Wow yay! :) Yet another win made possible by the support of PBS viewers donating to their local PBS station! (if you can) Join us! Support your local PBS stations!

You spend more than $5 a month on streaming services, and more of them deserve boycotts than ever. Take your Dropout/Netflix/Paramount/etc budget and send it to your local PBS station and support public broadcasting, while also getting THEIR programs available to stream, including documentaries, arts programs, news, children's programming, and many international shows and movies! PBS is owned by the public--that's you and me!--and often also serves communities vital information during disasters, as well as featuring ultra-local news in a way larger networks simply don't. You'll also be supporting public broadcasting like NPR, which has some of the least biased, most professional reporters left in the US.

I'm not paid to do this I just grew up with PBS and NPR and know how important it is to support institutions you want to survive, especially now. Find your local:

PBS: Public Broadcasting Service

Watch full episodes of your favorite PBS dramas, find in-depth news analysis and explore documentaries on history, science, art and more!

Remember, PBS is not a corporation. It is not a business trying to make a profit. It is a public service that is owned by the public (YOU are the public!) and serves the public good, like libraries, public transit, and other services do.
