Being a sex worker in a sexting chat room!?

That doesn't even sexting


l've been hanging out on this old IRC chat room but I'm not going to name in full, because I don't want to give it in traffic but I will call it l-chat, and now I see what's wrong with it. A lot of people in there are nice, but it's mostly men asking women for nudes, sexting, BDSM, roleplay all that kind of stuff. But today I openly complained about how a lot of men want to ask women to do all of these things and they actually want it for free. when I said I want to get paid for my time, at least three people in the chat room (not a lot of people there) jumped on me like you can't ask for money here. and it's weird that it's okay to ask people for sex, but it's not okay to ask for money for the sex. 

And then someone said that their internet connection was weak, and they said that I'm here because my internet connection is weak. It's a very bare-bones thing, very basic old internet IRC. It's the best place to go for my 2G mobile internet connection. someone asked me where I stream, and I told him that I stream on Chaturbate, and then someone else said that I can't promote myself. I can't even answer a question on that bitch.

It's like that saying "skinfolk ain't kinfolk". Just because you go to a place that is pointed towards sexual activity being okay, does it mean that sex workers are going to be allowed. Goddesd forbid I would ever see a dime for all of that sexting that at least 20 men are dming me for every time I enter the chat. 

It's so easy to demonize sex workers, even in 2020 on late 90s IRC chat rooms. but that also explains why there's so boring and why there's hardly ever anyone in there. They're not talking about anything of sustenance. there are no deep conversations. They're just people that get bored together and just talk about the weather and nothing consequential, and a lot of horny "18 year olds" looking for sexting, roleplay, in nudes. That anti sex worker narrative runs off all the interesting people. they can have their iPhone versus Android arguments with their never-ending supply of horny broke men wanting to be a time vampire to any given woman.

I also want to acknowledge that I'm very lucky to have experienced this. Thanks to modern technology I don't actually have to put myself in the way of physical danger. I'd much rather take Petty arguments online chat rooms to being beaten and robbed.

Platforms come and go. Hopefully, that one will die soon. It's a bunch of garbage man perpetuating the patriarchy, and the women who defend them. But I hope the three lovely women that I've had very pleasant conversations with find a more positive, progressive, and supportive place to chat after that one falls.

Bewelcome won't get any better

With the recent implosion of Couchsurfing, people are flocking over to bewelcome and trusted roots in great numbers. Trusted Roots is pretty bare-bones in terms of user-to-user communication. They have a private messaging system, and they have a meat system that leaves much to be desired. But TR could possibly be focusing more on hosts and guests rather than Meats, but everything about it is pretty basic. Except for the map. Their map is actually very exceptional. Bewelcome has a lot of obvious potential to replace couch surfing in terms of popularity and usage, but unfortunately it won't. The main reason I've observed is that it's run by an older generation that isn't willing to shake on its Traditional Values for a younger Generations concerns. And my personal experience, I've made a suggestion and a group that were both rejected. I suggested a blocking feature, because with the growth of a user use usage, it's important for people to have agency over

TikTok paid a lot of money to make sure you never hear about these other apps

If you're black, brown, disabled/ disfigured, trans, or talk about any form of progressive politics or human rights you probably have a lot of issues with TikTok. A lot of us have five accounts to try to get around tiktok banning us, but what if we didn't have to live like that? What if we embraced the apps that tiktok paid all those millions of billions and advertising to make sure we never know about?  BIGO (little blue dinosaur logo) and Live. Me+ is where TikTok ripped a lot of its framework for their livestreaming setup from - and then paid billions of dollars in advertising to make sure you never hear about those apps.  And since these apps aren't popular, there are less white people. Not to say that these are designated black and brown spaces, but there are marginally less white people. And in my experience, when I first went on to bigo and live.me - for the few North American white people there were on the suggestions page, most of them were sex workers.  In my opi

Takoda Institute and adult education program REVIEW

The video: https://youtu.be/Uxcfu9c28YM this is a review of The takoda Institute adult education on Franklin avenue in Minneapolis Minnesota! Availability - they have reasonable daytime hours, 8 - 3 and 4. Accessibility - as someone who admittedly isn't disabled, I would say that the building is easy to navigate with wide hallways and a lot of movable furniture. The doorways do seem kind of narrow to me, so I don't know how someone with wheelchair would get into some of the rooms. But if someone who isn't wheelchair-bound I don't know what the necessary with is. But they feel narrow to me is an able-bodied person. Location - the main office in a lot of the adult education programs in a right on cedar and Franklin. These are bus routes blue Line, 22, 2, 67, and a 9 mainly. I would say that's a great location with high Public transportation traffic. cedar avenue and Franklin avenue are not so great during rush hour for personal vehicles. they do have their own parking
