Google makes millions on paid abortion disinformation
Tumblr media
Google’s search quality has been in steady decline for years, and Google assures us that they’re working on it, though the most visible effort is replacing links to webpages with lengthy, florid paragraphs written by a confident habitual liar chatbot:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/16/tweedledumber/#easily-spooked
The internet is increasingly full of garbage, much of it written by other confident habitual liar chatbots, which are now extruding plausible sentences at enormous scale. Future confident habitual liar chatbots will be trained on the output of these confident liar chatbots, producing Jathan Sadowski’s “Habsburg AI”:
https://twitter.com/jathansadowski/status/1625245803211272194
But the declining quality of Google Search isn’t merely a function of chatbot overload. For many years, Google’s local business listings have been terrible. Anyone who’s tried to find a handyman, a locksmith, an emergency tow, or other small businessperson has discovered that Google is worse than useless for this. Try to search for that locksmith on the corner that you pass every day? You won’t find them — but you will find a fake locksmith service that will dispatch an unqualified, fumble-fingered guy with a drill and a knockoff lock, who will drill out your lock, replace it with one made of bubblegum and spit, and charge you 400% the going rate (and then maybe come back to rob you):
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/31/business/fake-online-locksmiths-may-be-out-to-pick-your-pocket-too.html
Google is clearly losing the fraud/spam wars, which is pretty awful, given that they have spent billions to put every other search engine out of business. They spend $45b every year to secure exclusivity deals that prevent people from discovering or using rivals — that’s like buying a whole Twitter every year, just so they don’t have to compete:
https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/how-a-google-antitrust-case-could/
But there’s an even worse form of fraudulent listing on Google, one they could do something about, but choose not to: ad-fraud. For all the money and energy thrown into “dark SEO” to trick Google into putting your shitty, scammy website at the top of the listings, there’s a much simpler method. All you need to do is pay Google — buy an ad, and your obviously fraudulent site will be right there, at the top of the search results.
There are so many top searches that go to fraud or malware sites. Tech support is a favorite. It’s not uncommon to search for tech support for Google products and be served a fake tech-support website where a scammer will try to trick you into installing a remote-access trojan and then steal everything you have, and/or take blackmail photos of you with your webcam:
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/google-search-ads-infiltrated-again-by-tech-support-scams/
This is true even when Google has a trivial means of reliably detecting fraud. Take the restaurant monster-in-the-middle scam: a scammer clones the menu of a restaurant, marking up their prices by 15%, and then buys the top ad slot for searches for that restaurant. Search for the restaurant, click the top link, and land on a lookalike site. The scammer collects your order, bills your card, then places the same order, in your name, with the restaurant.
The thing is, Google runs these ads even for restaurants that are verified merchants — Google mails the restaurant a postcard with a unique number on it, and the restaurant owner keys that number in to verify that they are who they say they are. It would not be hard for Google to check whether an ad for a business matches one of its verified merchants, and, if so, whether the email address is a different one from the verified one on file. If so, Google could just email the verified address with a “Please confirm that you’re trying to buy an ad for a website other than the one we have on file” message:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/24/passive-income/#swiss-cheese-security
Google doesn’t do this. Instead, they accept — and make a fortune from — paid disinformation, across every category.
But not all categories of paid disinformation are equally bad: it’s one thing to pay a 15% surcharge on a takeout meal, but there’s a whole universe of paid medical disinformation that Google knows about and has an official policy of tolerating.
This paid medical disinformation comes from “crisis pregnancy centers”: these are fake abortion clinics that raise huge sums from religious fanatics to buy ads that show up for people seeking information about procuring an abortion. If they are duped by one of these ads, they are directed to a Big Con-style storefront staffed by people who pretend that they perform abortions, but who bombard their marks with falsehoods about health complications.
These con artists try to trick their marks into consenting to sexual assault — a transvaginal ultrasound. This is a prelude to another fraud, in which the “sporadic electrical impulses” generated by an early fetal structure is a “heartbeat” (early fetuses do not have hearts, so they cannot produce heartbeats):
https://www.nbcnews.com/health/womens-health/heartbeat-bills-called-fetal-heartbeat-six-weeks-pregnancy-rcna24435
If the victim still insists on getting an abortion, the fraudsters will use deceptive tactics to draw out the process until they run out the clock for a legal abortion, procuring a forced birth through deceit.
It is hard to imagine a less ethical course of conduct. Google’s policy of accepting “crisis pregnancy center” ads is the moral equivalent of taking money from fake oncologists who counsel people with cancer to forego chemotherapy in favor of juice-cleanses.
There is no ambiguity here: the purpose of a “crisis prengancy center” is to deceive people seeking abortions into thinking they are dealing with an abortion clinic, and then further deceive them into foregoing the abortion, by means of lies, sexually invasive and unnecessary medical procedures, and delaying tactics.
Now, a new report from the Center for Countering Digital Hate finds that Google made $10m last year on ads from “crisis pregnancy centers”:
https://www.wired.com/story/google-made-millions-from-ads-for-fake-abortion-clinics/
Many of these “crisis pregnancy centers” are also registered 501(c)3 charities, which makes them eligible for Google’s ad grants, which provide free ads to nonprofits. Marketers who cater to “crisis pregnancy center” advertise that they can help their clients qualify for these grants. In 2019, Google was caught giving tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of free ads to “crisis pregnancy centers”:
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/may/12/google-advertising-abortion-obria
The keywords that “crisis pregnancy centers” bid up include “Planned Parenthood” — meaning that if actual Planned Parenthood clinics want to appear at the top of the search for “planned parenthood,” they have to outbid the fraudsters seeking to deceive Planned Parenthood patients.
Google has an official policy of requiring customers that pay for ads matching abortion-related search terms to label their ads to state whether or not they provide abortions, but the report documents failures to enforce this policy. The labels themselves are confusing: for example, abortion travel funds have to be labeled as “not providing abortions.”
Google isn’t afraid to ban whole categories of advertising: for example, Google has banned Plan C, a nonprofit that provides information about medication abortions. The company erroneously classes Plan C as an “unauthorized pharmacy.” But Google continues to offer paid disinformation on behalf of forced birth groups that claim there is such a thing as “abortion reversal” (there isn’t — but the “abortion reversal” drug cocktail is potentially lethal).
This is inexcusable, but it’s not unique — and it’s not even that profitable. $10m is a drop in the bucket for a company like Google. When you’re lighting $45b/year on fire just to prevent competition, $10m is chump change. A better way to understand Google’s relationship to paid disinformation can be found by studying Facebook’s own paid disinformation problem.
Facebook has a well-documented problem with paid political disinformation — unambiguous, illegal materials, like paid notices advising people to remember to vote on November 6th (when election day falls on November 5th). The company eventually promised to put political ads in a repository where they could be inspected by all parties to track its progress in blocking paid disinformation.
Facebook did a terrible job at this, with huge slices of its political ads never landing in its transparency portal. We know this because independent researchers at NYU’s engineering school built an independent, crowdsourced tracker called Ad Observer, which scraped all the ads volunteers saw and uploaded them to a portal called Ad Observatory.
Facebook viciously attacked the NYU project, falsely smearing it as a privacy risk (the plugin was open source and was independently audited by Mozilla researchers, who confirmed that it didn’t collect any personal information). When that didn’t work, they sent a stream of legal threats, claiming that NYU was trafficking in a “circumvention device” as defined by Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, a felony carrying a five-year prison sentence and a $500k fine — for a first offense.
Eventually, NYU folded the project. Facebook, meanwhile, has fired or reassigned most of the staff who work on political ad transparency:
https://pluralistic.net/2021/08/06/get-you-coming-and-going/#potemkin-research-program
What are we to make of this? Facebook claims that it doesn’t need or want political ad revenue, which are a drop in the bucket and cause all kinds of headaches. That’s likely true — but Facebook’s aversion to blocking political ads doesn’t extend to spending a lot of money to keep paid political disinfo off the platform.
The company could turn up the sensitivity on its blocking algorithm, which would generate more false positives, in which nonpolitical ads are misidentified and have to be reviewed by humans. This is expensive, and it’s an expense Facebook can avoid if it can suppress information about its failures to block paid political disinformation. It’s cheaper to silence critics than it is to address their criticism.
I don’t think Google gives a shit about the $10m it gets from predatory fake abortion clinics. But I think the company believes that the PR trouble it would get into for blocking them — and the expense it would incur in trying to catch and block fake abortion clinic ads — are real liabilities. In other words, it’s not about the $10m it would lose by blocking the ads — Google wants to avoid the political heat it would take from forced birth fanatics and cost of the human reviewers who would have to double-check rejected ads.
In other words, Google doesn’t abet fraudulent abortion clinics because they share the depraved sadism of the people who run these clinics. Rather, Google teams up with these sadists out of cowardice and greed.

You went into what would soon no longer be a shared flat. You started looking for boxes, but suddenly you decided that you wouldn't give him the boxes; you would just use them to store the stuff and then carry them to the window to throw them out and let that idiot pick them up off the street if someone hadn't already taken them.
Not because you wanted to give him his stuff, but because you needed to humiliate him, and of course something like that would do it.
"Come on, Y/N, we can talk; just stop," Johnny said as he tried to catch all his things and put them together while you continued to get rid of them.
"Fuck you, Storm," you said, closing the window.
You weren't going to spare him; you'd already spoken to the locksmith; even if you couldn't get the key back, you'd make sure he couldn't get back in; and if he insisted, you'd pour buckets of cold water on him; you'd already prepared them and had them at strategic points.

Housano's Live-A-Half Assed Summaries Presents: Welcome to the Black Masquerade Parts 5 and 6: ACAB= All Chassards are Bastards
CW: Live a Hero Spoilers, Suicide Mention
I lost the cord that connects my phone to the laptop so I'm afraid no pictures on this recap. That and I'm tired.
For Part 4 Click Here
Part 5- What's your function, corruption?
So we are almost caught up to the present situation with briefly before where the Chassard agent is trying to provoke and accuse us of stealing the Pauderna. During the body check, they find a piece of the Pauderna in our suit/dress (!) which means somebody slipped it in there and that's proof enough it was either us or the villains. Giasal speaks ups and says he doesn't give a flying fuck about a dress, he just wanted to fight...okay I know I made a Genshin joke about him, but he is the Live a Hero equivalent of Childe. Still we are suspect #1 in the eyes of the Chassard. However, Astosis works his magic and convinces them to release Nessen and Yohack as: Nessen was not part of the original group and came to join by happenstance, and Yohack was not the original contracted operator and had to fill it so even if there was a plan, he would not be privy to that.
Which brings us back to the present where it seems any justification or evidence is insignificant, as the Chassard are hellbent on accusing us of the theft because their beliefs are the law of the land. In other words, Cloges is Twitter. So we are paraded out and it's announced that we are the culprit that has stolen the Pauderna and have been found guilty (technically we are supposed to get a trial, but it's more for the motions than actually proving our innocence). But hark! Our locksmith and dummy thiccums have returned to free us and have proof we were set up. Giasal even gets freed and starts going to town on that smug bastard. Giasal, you are no longer on my shit list for having a name that starts with Gia-, you are my motherfucking ride or die now. Anywho we go back to the ballroom where Yohack and Nessen reveal a hidden passage.
Part 6- I wanna see the receipts
In the sewers that look similar to one we would fine a certain king avoiding his duties we get updated on what they have discovered. In the streets shortly after being released, Yohack is depressed and Nessen asks him what's wrong. Yohack comments how our beloved protagonist's sitation is eerily similar to what happened when him and his parents were banished from Cloges. He said his parents ran a very popular clothing store where they brought in a lot of outsiders and incorporated various technologies along with Cloges traditions. However, an odd request came to their studio during the last Waning Festival, where they were requested to repair Pauderna, but were arrested with the accusation of trying to damage Pauderna. Evidence was produced such as scissors with their fingerprints on it, and they were immediately stripped of their citizenship and banished from the planet. Nessen inquired if it's painful to be back, which Yohack said not really. As thanks to leaving, he met a master locksmith and learned his craft and that Astosis and a lot of the townsfolk still believed them even after the evidence was produced.
This reminds Yohack that Asostis was the one who oversaw his parent's trial and remembered the words Astosis said about how he hasn't forgotten his parents and that the memories are still in "that place". Yohack immediately takes Nessen to Astosis' office. He mentions how he used to sneak in through the window when he was a kid. Astosis gave him a spare key after his father changed the locks, and told him to break in anytime. Though he has a tad more gut than back then, he's able to get through and let Nessen in. We learn that shortly after the trial of his parents, Astosis father committed suicide due the public stigma from it and Astosis worked his way to become an extremely prominent lawyer.
They conclude that the proof must be tied to Yohack's parent's trial and try to look for the court records. They search everywhere but couldn't find anything and conclude it must be in the safe. After several attempts at the pins, Yohack realizes that Astosis told him the code when he said "I haven't forgotten your parents": the date they were sentenced. They find a drawing of the venue which shows the hidden passage which was near where Pauderna was displayed. Yohack then discovers the safe has a false back and in it his parents case records with several notes and receipts that to the surprise of no one, the evidence was fraudulent. However, what is even more interesting is that the fraudulent evidence goes back several generations. With this they rusk back to save our protagonist from the show trial.
Now that we are caught up and in the hidden passage, Nessen theorizes that the real culprit must have snagged it when the lights went out and brought it into the secret passage. Yohack theorizes that they are doing to this purge anyone who isn't born of Cloges, such as his parents and rig the evidence as a means to justify removing them. Yohack said that Chassard originally represented the will of all people but has progressively radicalized to be only those born on Cloges and remove any "undesirables". Yohack goes on to say some sage wisdom in that it's fine if you feel that way and keep it to yourself, but when you take it out on people who have done nothing wrong and suppress anyone who opposses you, that's where he draws the line and wants to put an end to their tyranny.
We then go out to be prepared for battle only to find Giasal having the time of his life. He comments how pathetic the Chassard are and how they hope to win with numbers rather than skill or strength. Astosis tries to stop everything but the Chassard Bastard from earlier demands that Pauderna be produced. Suddenly Maculata reappears holding Pauderna and says it's time to reveal the truth....in Part 7.
Welcome to the Black Masquerade Parts 5+6- All Chassards are Bastards- END

It's Lucas here and I'm back once again with a brand new let's plays. Having just come hot off the heels of The original Tomb Raider, I feel that its time to start the very excellent Sequel. Tomb Raider 2 for the PlayStation one sees everyone's favourite posh adventurer bird Lara Croft return to go halfway around the world in search of an ancient artifact known as the Dagger of Xian which is said to hold tremendous and mysterious power to whoever uses it.  It is said to be located somewhere beneath the Great Wall of China behind a seemingly sealed door that won't even open with a black and decker drill!  Still not one to let a door get in her way and with the absence of a locksmith, Lara must venture through Venice, and off shore oil rig a sunken vessel the Tibetan Foothills and in a monastery of all places to find the key to allow her access to said door back in China!  Lara however, is not the only one interested in finding the dagger and this becomes apparent very early on in the adventure as a crazed Italian cult led by the Fanatical and sinister Marco Bartoli, plan to secure the dagger first and will stop Lara at every turn to prevent her from getting her tiny mitts on it. Levels are bigger, more expansive and far more action packed than ever before with some levels now taking place outside.  New to the series are vehicles which can be utilised on certain levels  and some are absolutely essential to getting through a tricky stage.  Also, Tomb Raider 2 now allows you to save anywhere at any time which is so cool.  I really liked the save crystals from the previous game but this feature now eliminates much frustration from having to perform the same action again to solve a puzzle. So there you have it guys and girls. Ill be uploading a new Tomb Raider 2 video every week until I finish the game.  Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and to comment, I really really appreciate it!

Nirvana Initiative open discussion post
I want to start a convo here on tumblr with all you AI enjoyers because so few people are talking about all the interesting content we’ve gotten and are still getting. I’m encouraging you all to rb, comment, whatever and go over this stuff with me! I wanna talk about AI!
Below I’ll rant about some things that caught my eye (pun not intended).
When the first AINI trailer came out I wanted to make an analysis and theory post but then I thought about it and was like. Wtf do I even say. I don’t have Twitter so I had to read up on Hidden Bats here and I watched Ryan Geever on YouTube’s videos about the ARG which I highly recommend because his explanation is very thorough and his theories are really onto something.
He talks about a lot of good stuff like the Philadelphia Experiment, the plot of an old, similar series this writing team worked on, and the relevance of the Lemniscate ARG, which I would not have connected on my own. I won’t retype everything he said, but I’d love to discuss some of the extremely solid connections he made.
Through his videos, I also found out the achievement list has been leaked. I took a look at it myself, but I won’t say anything about it because of potential spoilers. There’s some stuff that interests me on there, though.
I’ll make a bulleted list of questions I have:
Obv question: what’s the timeline here in relation to the events of AITSF?
What happened to Saito? And Yagyu’s body?
Why’d Date give up PSYNCing? What is he up to now, still ABIS or something else? Is he taking oxytocin without Aiba’s administration?
Did Iris recover from her brain tumor or not?
Is Komeji’s head a futuristic mascot suit that can emote where his forehead dot is the eye hole or is he just Shovelforge George irl? Is there a secret guy in there or is that his actual body?
Are the VLR spacesuits a cameo or do they have significance?
The game is made by “Team Zero Escape” and has more ZE references than usual. The ARG also has references to SHIFTing. Will the ZE universe be relevant to the story?
I’m behind on Hidden Bats, but is the current arc kind of like the ambidex game where the girls have to trust each other to get the best result, and Lumi trusts Mari, but Mari doesn’t trust her back?
Whereas the choice between Aine and Binato was between two second degree murderers, maybe this choice will be that Lumi did something in the past to hurt Mari, but Mari is holding a grudge in the present and is willing to endanger her as revenge, and we have to decide which is worse (like obv tAI the vote but y’know)
Okayyy nvm *edit* I caught up and it looks like as of now Lumina is just a normal nice girl and Mariha is a fuckin ass. I guess the voting this time won’t be trying to decide the lesser of two evils or neither, but to decide whether to treat a good and bad person equally or to deem Mariha unworthy of saving as some sort of extreme “justice”.
The last two characters’ names and pics were dug up by tech whizes from the website code and I like their designs. Wonder what their whole thing is gonna be.
Tokiko and Naix being real is very interesting. Dk what to say, but Iris was clearly right that they exist and are shady. Perhaps it’s true that her tumor-induced psychosis made her construe some stuff as it applied to the last case, but they’re very much involved in this one. How did Iris even find out about it?
Another obv one but why does Ryuki look so similar to Yagyu and why do they have similar naming conventions?
I’m curious about Gen, Shoma, and Kizuna because they’re new, but we don’t know a ton about them. Also Chikara sus.
Edit: forgot the locksmith guy even existed for a sec wow
What’s very curious is how Amame is getting such a major upgrade from being a background character like the driver or receptionist to being an actual major player. I love when stories elevate minor characters to the major cast for new arcs, but hmm…
Why isn’t Pewter in jail? This could point to NI being in a whole different timeline from TSF if he never did anything illegal in the first place.
The six years ago/six years later thing they have going on is confusing when you’re trying to analyze trailers. The leaked achievements tell us which protag’s story has which somnium, but which characters are associated with which time period?
Interested in how Sunaiku and the Hidden Bats victims will play into the game and to what extent. The last ARG was kind of unrelated to the plot of TSF, but everything there was included, albeit with a twist. Also, the last ARG feels somehow more relevant to this game than to the last? If there’s an AI3 will Hidden Bats be relevant to that as well?
Timelines aside, please let Ota keep his TSF character development. Also, Mayumi hasn’t appeared in any trailers and that’s making me sad because y’know,,,
I hope they talk more about the Wadjet system. Can Aiba and Tama use it to communicate with each other? Can they intentionally simulate ESP across time using it?
Do all PSYNCers have AI balls or is it just the two? Did Ryuki exist as one of the unnamed other PSYNCers in TSF and we just didn’t meet him yet?
Oh here’s one: in the character trailer, they list the VAs of the four PCs, Mizuki, Aiba, Ryuki, and Tama. They don’t list anyone else’s name. Maybe I’ve got my tinfoil hat on, but what if knowing someone’s VA would be a spoiler, 13 sentinels style? Maybe someone “new” is actually someone else who has the same VA as before?
Ik Mizuki was playing 999 in the very first trailer, which implies that ZE is a video game in the AI world, but could they exist in the same reality through worldline SHIFTing bs? Digimon vibes
Ooo, edit, but I noticed they told us Binato was “removed from reality”, not killed, which I just found out Uchi tweeted about too. Did they teleport him to the backrooms? Are they experimenting on him? I’d suggest my beloved sci fi horror trope that they erased all evidence of his life, but his disappearance is still listed on the Sunaiku news page, so that’s not it. It’d be cool if the post updated to just be about Aine after the vote was over, though, and his twitters were deleted as well as all mention of him on Aine’s. Is he stuck in some place between realities or in a different one?
Sunaiku and Aine both have Ai in their names *puts red thread on my detective photo wall*
I’ll add more stuff if I think of more, but I want to talk about this, so let’s treat this post like a discussion board! Let’s include spoilers for the first game as well as Zero Escape, but not leaks from this one. So excited for AINI.

Hello Blokes and Birds of YouTube. It's Lucas here and I'm back once again with a brand new let's plays. Having just come hot off the heels of The original Tomb Raider, I feel that its time to start the very excellent Sequel. Tomb Raider 2 for the PlayStation one sees everyone's favourite posh adventurer bird Lara Croft return to go halfway around the world in search of an ancient artifact known as the Dagger of Xian which is said to hold tremendous and mysterious power to whoever uses it.  It is said to be located somewhere beneath the Great Wall of China behind a seemingly sealed door that won't even open with a black and decker drill!  Still not one to let a door get in her way and with the absence of a locksmith, Lara must venture through Venice, and off shore oil rig a sunken vessel the Tibetan Foothills and in a monastery of all places to find the key to allow her access to said door back in China!  Lara however, is not the only one interested in finding the dagger and this becomes apparent very early on in the adventure as a crazed Italian cult led by the Fanatical and sinister Marco Bartoli, plan to secure the dagger first and will stop Lara at every turn to prevent her from getting her tiny mitts on it. Levels are bigger, more expansive and far more action packed than ever before with some levels now taking place outside.  New to the series are vehicles which can be utilised on certain levels  and some are absolutely essential to getting through a tricky stage.  Also, Tomb Raider 2 now allows you to save anywhere at any time which is so cool.  I really liked the save crystals from the previous game but this feature now eliminates much frustration from having to perform the same action again to solve a puzzle.
So there you have it guys and girls. Ill be uploading a new Tomb Raider 2 video every week until I finish the game.  Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and to comment, I really really appreciate it!

Massive Panic Attack - Disaster Averted - Never Will I Abandon You!
https://www.flickr.com/photos/alinslive/52131708662/in/datetaken-public/
Today was terrible in some respects, in other respects it was great.
Good news first: I’m soon getting a pair of one of a kind harnesses from a friend! @RubberDogBronco and @RubberDogMagnus on Twitter are going to be helping me. I’ll be getting exact copies of their harnesses. I have drooled over their harnesses for days on end and just seeing them makes me want to curl up with them. I can’t yet though so I’ll curl up with the harnesses I have on hand.
Bad news: I had a massive panic attack today. The only way to get things under control was to have a smoke and then get in bed with my harnesses crank the music to 11 (Terrible Spinal Tap reference I know) and forget the world. Lucky for me I was able to stop the panic attack without needing to take emergency medicines or worse go to the emergency room. We had a contractor here to do a new install of a pair of doors and as soon as he started hammering and using the pneumatic nailer my brain went absolutely haywire. Luckily for me I know how to execute a ‘soft shutdown’ procedure that involves a few steps. I often forget to initiate this procedure during panics and the consequences are often costly.
1. Run to my bedroom
2. Grab the headset and crank the music
3. Grab my harnesses or a ton of straps and get buried under them
It’s literally the only way I can get myself distracted enough in situations of major panic. I often forget the second step which is a crucial component to getting my brain elsewhere, especially if the panic is set off by LOUD NOISES.
Bad news Item 2: Looks like I won’t be going into locksmithery. It’s not a financially smart move for me to make the expense of buying into a locksmithing career and potentially endangering myself. Locksmiths by occupation often get called into dangerous situations like icy sidewalks, severe rainstorms, or bad neighborhoods with gunshots in the area. I am a person with cerebral palsy, I can easily slip and fall and boom, end of my career & potentially a $500,000 healthcare bill that I’ll be on the hook for because if I’m making locksmith money I won’t be entitled to social security, medicare, or medicaid. And locksmith money doesn’t exactly pay for stellar health insurance or good things at entry level. If I’m called to a bad neighborhood and hear gunshots, I’ll run from the work site and speed off in my car which could cost me my job. It’s a good hobby and a good interest to add to my vanilla list. It’s a good skill to have to know how to pick locks, if I ever get locked out of my house or locked out of my safe or another belonging I can probably pick the lock open now that I know the basics of how locks work and how to pick them.
THE REAL GOOD NEWS: This has all summed up into a Discovery. 
I’ve for a long time kept chasing at vanilla careers. I tried to get into medical coding, I spent $400 on code books that are mostly just very fancy living room decor. Though they’ll at least help me when I need to fight the insurance company on something and don’t want to go digging on the internet through unreliable references. I have the same books the insurance reps use. So it’s not totally wasted money. They’re a good resource to have around, kind of like having a fire extinguisher in the kitchen, you probably don’t need it, but you’re better off having it.
THE REALITY IS: I AM A MUSEUM DEPOSITORY INSTITUTION CURATOR & A SENSORY EXPLORATION THERAPIST!
I’VE HAD A JOB ALL ALONG, IT’S LITERALLY RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE!
After being manipulated and abused by Catholic Clergy member for many years of my life I have discovered that they have been trying to force me to become a straight person for a long time. They have also been manipulating me and trying to get me away from a REAL CAREER and REAL LOVE. I have all my life loved harnesses and straps. Since I was a kid I would steal belts out of my dads wardrobe and sleep with them wrapped around my head, particularly my eyes and mouth. I liked the shiny leather on my eyes and the feel on my lips is relaxing. I’ve over many years built a massive collection of harnesses and belts. Some of which are hard to find or now completely impossible to find.
I am not only a adult entertainer, I’m a museum curator, a depository institution holding a collection. A sensory explorer and pioneer. When I have someone visit my house and play with me, it’s not just play, there’s science happening. Human sciences of sensory exploration and therapy. 
To abandon MY CAREER for a drones job of locksmithing or medical coding is to abandon over 3000 followers and throw them all under a bus. To abandon my career is to shutter the doors of a museum holding artifacts that might never be seen again.
I have had many friends over the years, many people have played with me and enjoyed my knowledge of playing with raingear and other sensory explorative objects to create happiness, relaxation, and even erotic times. I’ve also noticed especially in my latest vacbag session that having an orgasm, isn’t necessary to have a really relaxing and great time. The forcing of an orgasm isn’t necessary, and might be detrimental to the main goal of what my career is as a sensory explorer. Relaxation and happiness are the main goals in what I do. If I am making people happy, I am doing my job right, if I am making people aroused, then that’s just a bonus. If someone has an orgasm then that’s a major win. A man I met had never had an orgasm triggered by another person until he came to me.
My bedroom isn’t just a playspace or a place to sleep. It’s a laboratory of sensory exploration and therapy. Rehab hospitals have sensory rehabilitation units. Me quitting my job, would be like a sensory rehab center shutting its doors forever. In 2016 I went on a two year long hiatus, triggered by the abusive manipulation of a clergy member who was abusing me long term and manipulating me with malicious intents.
I AM AN ESSENTIAL WORKER to adults seeking a sensory escape. I might not be a doctor or someone with a fancy clinic. But I’m still ESSENTIAL. Without me, that man who met me, may have never experienced the true thrill and comfort of having a skilled breathplay & bondage practitioner watching over them as they have their first climax.
I make people obey hospital rules when they enter my house. Because my house is a lot like a rehab hospitals sensory lab. Here, I take notes of what a person likes, what they don’t like, what their medical issues are, and I create an environment for them that will make them relaxed, happy, and if I get things right, aroused, and if I hit the jackpot a climax will result. NEVER WILL I ABANDON YOU my followers, my museum members, my therapy clients (those of you who have visited me and want to visit me)
I CANNOT ABANDON MY CAREER THAT I HAVE LOVED ALL MY LIFE!
All my life I have been a sensory explorer, a sensory pioneer, and a sensory creator as well as a museum curator. I’m like The Smithsonian, of harnesses, straps, and bondage gear. I collect gear and I keep it safely stored away until it is called on for play or to be shown to the world. I have hundreds of belts, some antique that I would have potentially lost if I were to abandon my JOB and sell my things or even just toss them away. 
NEVER WILL I DESTROY OR LOSE MY COLLECTIONS for I am a museum. My gear collection has very rare pieces, some that are one off productions. The harnesses I am scheduled to early - mid next year receive will be one of a kind. Only two of the harness pairs will exist in the world. Mine, Broncos, Mine, Magnus’s... The two harnesses I am set to receive are like the Louvre receiving a pair of extremely rare paintings that only two pairs exist in the world.
IT IS MY DUTY to protect my collection, show my collection to the world, and make people in the world aware of sensory explorations.
Today might have been rotten in some ways, but in other ways, it’s been a revelation. I’VE HAD A TOP NOTCH JOB ALL ALONG!
I’M THE HEAD OPERATOR OF A MUSEUM AND SENSORY LAB!
I’ve talked to my friends for years about eventually saving enough money or making enough to open a storefront called the museum of straps and harnesses. And that has to REMAIN MY ULTIMATE GOAL. To have such a museum would be like the Leather Archives and Museum having a sister museum, that specializes in other things.
THIS IS MY LIFE. THIS IS WHO I AM. I AM WHO I AM!
