a 72 year old who “can’t work computers” walked to the store, bought two gift cards with cash, and paid his deposit via invoice with zero issues

interpret that as you will…

i’ve avoided doing an advice column for years because, hello… do we really need more opinions?

but i get asked the same kinds of questions a lot from clients & providers… so, i’m trying it

Paige Savage is a confident woman in red strappy lingerie reclines on glossy pink satin surrounded by lush roses, set against a seamless pink background. The image feels romantic, bold, and indulgent, like a modern Valentine’s fantasy.

some women wait for flowers
some women become them

happy valentine’s day 💕

there are things our white colleagues can do and it’s considered bold, funny, and relatable and it doesn’t hurt their brand.

when a woman of color does the same thing, suddenly it’s “not polished” or “not classy”

even touching on this is a calculated risk

i agree in theory. and most of the time i am just me.

but in practice, being “just yourself” as a sex worker who is also a woman of color, comes with different stakes. the pressure isn’t imaginary.

every time i go to post something: not polished enough… not perfect enough.

the reality is the pressure to be exceptional just to earn a fraction is exhausting. and some of us were handed a smaller margin for error from the start.

The body is tea ☕️

oh hello 😉

extrovert me writes checks introvert me cannot always cash 🤭

i don’t like it 🥺

mike conley getting traded and i’m supposed to just… continue my day? #timberwolves #mntimberwolves

absolutely! and thank you for extending the thought for me. i posted that, ran to the lab to spray tan some clients, and lost the rest of the plot afterwards.

i agree with you: resistance works precisely because it’s persistent. the goal of pressure is exhaustion & the counter is not disappearing.

“Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action.”

this doesn’t feel like coincidence in #minneapolis anymore. it feels like pressure by design: wear people down, make them afraid, make resistance feel pointless.

we’re not saying they’re weak… we’re just saying we could crush them with our thighs if we wanted to 🤷🏽‍♀️

funny how the people most judged are often the first to give back

the average American man weighs 199.8lbs. my first working set of deadlifts is 225lbs.

anyway…

I’m not intimidating.
I’m just paying attention.

so all you need is date, time of day, and the location.

the time of day is a bit more difficult. sometimes you have to scour historical records, wiki, etc., to see if they reference the time of day. if the time is unknown/can’t find it then you use midnight.

there’s so much more but that’s the abridged version

totally get the good vibe. Minneapolis’ chart itself is practical, idealistic, polite, a bit superior 😂

the mess though is a lot of big planets don’t agree. so there’s constant friction btwn how the city sees itself (progressive) & what’s happening underneath (conservative in structure)

cities absolutely have charts! they behave like people with very strong personalities… they just have zoning laws 🤭

restrained woo woo… astrology with footnotes lol. but yes, if people aren’t willing to entertain a little magic, that’s on them.

people keep asking “why #minneapolis”

not to be all “woo woo”, but i looked at the city’s natal chart and even as an amateur i went, “oh! oh, that tracks.”

the astro-girlies may need to be taken seriously. #astrosky #astrology

make it make sense

some of y’all will tell chatgpt everything but draw the line at minding your own damn business.
