How Sex Workers Are Fighting Back Against Trump (Rolling Stone)
“I donated some of my money to Planned Parenthood in Mike Pence’s name,” says Ari. “I found that doubly funny, because it’s money that I literally made by prostituting myself.”
In the week after the election, Ari also sent money to New York’s Ali Forney Center and Audre Lorde Project, two organizations that she says “specifically work with trans youth of color, and a huge portion of those youth do survival sex work.”
Twenty-five-year-old stripper Tamra Horner, who also dances in Portland, called election week “devastating” and recalled being disturbed by news reports of harassment and violence against women, Muslims, LGBT couples and people of color. She quickly decided to carve out a portion of that week’s total profits.
- Cardi B’s So-Called Life (The Fader)
A hoe never gets cold, which is why Cardi B is bare-legged and coatless when she shows up to meet me just a couple of days after winter storm Jonas immobilized much of the east coast earlier this year. The 23-year-old is sheathed in a slinky gold dress, paired with monstrous red heels from which her toes—nails painted lavender—burst forth into the January freeze. I can’t imagine a pair of gloves that could possibly contain the bedazzled gray manicure that gives her slight fingers the appearance of being several inches longer than they are. Cardi may look ridiculous standing next to the mountains of snow piled on the sidewalk, but she does not look cold. She prophesied as much to her millions of followers a year ago in an Instagram video promoting a wintertime appearance at a Toronto strip club. “Canada, it’s cold outside but I’m still looking like a thotty,” she says in the clip, twirling around a hotel hallway in a tiny top.
This is the best thing I’ve read all week.
Cardi B is my new hero.
- The Pentagon pays a group of people to review porn — here’s what they banned from military bases (Business Insider)
The Pentagon has a group of people who, quite literally, review pornography for the US military.
It’s not a review that gives a play-by-play of the action. Instead, a board of military and civilian officials has to review material and determine whether it’s “sexually explicit,” as it’s against the law for hardcore porn to be sold or rented on military bases.
[…]
The earliest year of banned titles that the FOIA uncovered was from 2008, which included magazines titled “Nasty Housewives” and “Cheri.” The 2006 board included magazines such as “30 Something,” “Raunchy Couples,” “Young & Stacked,” and videos “Beach Babes 2,” “Bikini Traffic School,” and “Obsessed with Lust.”
[…]
The DoD doesn’t ban all media that has nudity in it, and service members can walk into their post exchange and pick up a magazine such as Playboy, Maxim, and FHM, for example. It bans what is deemed “sexually explicit” material, which it defines as nudity that is depicted in a lascivious way. Lascivious, the regulation says, is material that is “lewd and intended or designed to elicit a sexual response.”
I’m not sure if that is the best job or the worst job.
