in college back in 2018 i still didn't have a smart phone yet and they introduced DUO two-factor authentication and I carried one of the physical "clickers" because I couldn't use the phone app. I remember classmates being unable to participate in class or print assignments at the library even with school desktop computers because they left their phones ate home by accident or their phones died so they couldn't login to their school profiles.

professors started doing those kahoots quiz games for attendance points and I told them I couldn't participate because I didn't have a smart phone.

one of my professors scoffed in front of the whole class and said, "are you serious?" i said "are you going to pay for my data plan?"

he relented because he had to and every single day he had to print out a little physical quiz for me to take while everyone else did kahoots. it was so funny bc it was a lecture hall with like 150 students. he gave up after like 3 times and just counted me present.

at work i refuse to have a single work-related app on a phone they aren't paying for so they always have to order me the physical "clickers" for double authentication and they act like I'm pouring concrete in their shoes about it lmaoo

met a woman today whose original real actual given-at-birth first name is "Vendetta." ma'am are you aware you are a videogame protagonist and/or a character in a skullduggery pleasant novel. real quick sorry to bother you miss but who exactly were your parents expecting you to avenge in their name

people arguing against abolition saying "you expect an unarmed person to deescalate someone with a gun?" and it's like we are expected to literally do that right now only most of the people with guns who we have to deescalate are the cops, like shut the fuck up

Not everyone begins selling sex because of poverty or a lack of other viable financial options, but that's the driving factor for most of us. It is always bizarre to me when people act like my sex worker advocacy is a dismissal of abuse, because I almost never concern myself with discussing people who sell sex because they like the job. I leave it up to the sex workers who enjoy the work and have many other options to speak about their experiences for themselves - those stories are not mine. I started selling sex because I had no other way to afford food or shelter and I've continued because I don't have the means to provide for myself fully without it.

My advocacy for the full decriminalization of sex work and the destigmatization of it does not come from a place of glamorization or downplaying the abuses many of us suffer. I fight for these things because they are the most important for those of us who don't enjoy sex work and want to stop. The most vulnerable people are the most harmed under the Nordic Model or strict regulation or complete/partial criminalization. When you make our work more dangerous and difficult and lower paid, you trap us in it. By criminalizing clients and third parties, you make our earnings into proceeds of crime and allow banks to deny us.

Demands for workers' rights and respect aren't a denial abuse happens, they're something I want because abuse happens.

Checks out:

[1] I've (somewhat charitably) interpreted this as 'causes hallucinations', which oddly makes it the easiest bar to clear

[2] Wisplinghoff, H., Appleton, D.L. (2008). Bacterial infections of the liver. In: Weber, O., Protzer, U. (eds) Comparative Hepatitis. Birkhäuser Advances in Infectious Diseases. Birkhäuser Basel. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-7643-8558-3_8

[3] Apparently, there exists a 'fermented oil' company: https://www.zeroacre.com/ (cannot speak to the quality of said oil, or the presence of live bacteria)

[4] While I was unable to find evidence linking the two, algae can definitely grow on an outdoor shower, and harmful algae blooms on a larger scale can cause lung issues

[5] Though live culture foods containing bacteria (i.e. kimchi) can be served alongside a stir fry, cooking them in a stir fry would kill the bacteria, and either way I am skeptical of the claim that the bacteria themselves are delicious

Mushrooms are objectively the funniest thing on gods green earth like this one destroys your liver and kidneys and kills you this one makes a fine cooking oil this one introduces you to the machine elves this one grows in your shower and slowly destroys your lungs this one is delicious in a stir fry. Who else has the range

2. will not stop talking about their animal

3. has definitely eaten their animal and has strong opinions on how to cook it best

something vindictive but ultimately harmless I do at work is that if you’re at my register and you’re rude to me and you pay with cash I am finding the most disgusting desolate fucked up unspeakable coin I can to give to you. oh you were mean to me? you’re getting the yucky nickel bitch
