Leave their blog. Don’t follow it, don’t read the posts, don’t comment on it, don’t talk to them about it. Just pretend like it never happened.
There’s a reason we didn’t tell you our job. We risk relationships, future employment, current education, housing and everything else to be in this industry. Being outed as a sex worker could end everything for us, so let us have our place away from the people we know in real life.
AND IF YOUR FRIEND TELLS YOU THEYRE A SEX WORKER THAT STILL NEVER GIVES YOU PERMISSION TO TELL OTHER PEOPLE
Seriously. I’m dead serious.
I don’t give a fuck how ‘out’ I may seem, or how many people know you never have the right to tell anyone about my job without my explicit permission.
Fun fact, hammering metal spikes into tree trunks is a federal crime in the US because environmental activists used to do it in the 80s to fuck up chainsaws and logging equipment.
So you should never use this effective strategy for disrupting logging operations because it is illegal.
Okay, but a laborer working a shit job for a shit logging company doesn’t deserve a chainsaw chain snapping in their face. Like most agriculture jobs in the US, logging labor is dominated by undocumented immigrants, paid far too little cash under the table, and who most certainly don’t have benefits like medical or workplace injury coverage for when a 2000 rpm chainsaw blade snaps and whips them in the face.
How about we instead find another way to disrupt logging operations that don’t put incredibly vulnerable laborers at risk? By all means, tear down the system, but don’t hurt the very people you’re supposed to be helping.
^^^ this and driving spikes through trees can severely harm the tree and even kill it. Copper spikes will kill trees, and putting holes in trees can open them up to fungi and other things that feed on the cambium and destroy the tree.
Logging is literally the #1 most dangerous industry in North America, with the highest rate of professional fatalities per year. Laborers themselves are already calculated as rather expendable and replacing parts is… not difficult.
Trees can easily heal from branches being pruned, but breaking the bark on the trunk, even just to carve your initials, can seriously injure a tree even without leaving potentially toxic metal in the wood.
carrie fisher didn’t get laid to rest in a prozac-shaped urn for us not to take our meds…………. so take your meds
i kno posts like this are meant to be positive and nice but like… medications arent a nice pure glass of water theyve got all sorts of social and historical baggage. uwu stay medicated is not a trend we should be getting on
Okay but I don’t care about nebulous baggage, I care about my neurochemical state permitting me to retain executive function so I can be a relatively competent human being who feels like life is pretty okay at least some of the time. So I will absolutely uwu stay medicated and the many other people whose lives would be better if they took their meds should absolutely uwu stay medicated, and I wish to strongly urge everyone else to uwu stop and think critically before you blithely parrot baseless handwringing rooted in the bizarre social stigma against literally just taking medicine for illnesses.
Thanks for reading, have a nice day, ooh woo take ur fuckin meds
