Peepz at the gym keep cock blocking me when I want to get frisky at the gym. Sigh. It’s a hard life.
- 100 Years Ago Today, Sex Workers Marched for Their Rights in San Francisco (San Francisco Magazine)
On the morning of January 25, 1917, the anti-vice crusader Reverend Paul Smith opened the door of the Central Methodist Church in the Tenderloin, surprised to find 50 prostitutes bearing down on him. And the women kept coming, until they numbered more than 200. In the photograph that ran in that evening’s Bulletin, they looked like proper ladies going to church, in hats, long coats, and low heels. It was an unusual public campaign by “women of the underworld”—as that evening’s headline in the Bulletin called them—who had come to speak against a crackdown on brothels planned for Valentine’s Day. In a speech directed at Smith, a madam named Reggie Gamble proclaimed: “Nearly every one of these women is a mother, or has someone depending on her. They are driven into this life by economic conditions. . . . You don’t do any good by attacking us. Why don’t you attack those conditions?”
Tonight, to mark the centennial of the march, sex workers and their supporters will march from the Tenderloin Museum to the location of the church, O’Farrell and Leavenworth Streets, which is now the site of a liquor store. A century later, “there is still no such thing as accepted sex workers’ rights,” says Ivy Anderson, who is the editor, with Devon Angus, of the book Alice: Memoirs of a Barbary Coast Prostitute. Anderson and Angus will kick off the evening at the Tenderloin Museum with a talk on the history of sex work in San Francisco from the Gold Rush to 1917. Afterward, when the marchers reach the church, sex educator and equal rights advocate Carol Queen will deliver Madam Gamble’s 1917 speech.
So cool! I had no idea this happened. The more you know.
You’ve got data from every other moment of your waking life, why shouldn’t you have it for your sexual encounters too? That’s exactly what Lovely — a new wearable that is part tracker, part sex toy — is aiming to provide.
The device, on sale today for $169, is essentially a stretchy silicone ring worn around the base of the penis — though it could also be put on a finger or a dildo. It uses sensors to measure movement and position and sends that info to an app (available for Android and iOS) via Bluetooth. You can then see your top speed, the number of thrusts you recorded and how many calories you burned during sex.
Why is no one calling this the FitDick?
- Teacher fired because she used to work in porn (New York Post)
A sixth-grade teacher at an all-girls school in Texas is out of a job and fighting to get her position back after district officials learned she worked in porn more than a decade ago.
[Name Redacted by Lola Byrd just because], 38, was removed from the classroom at the Young Women’s STEAM Academy in Dallas in November, after district officials received an anonymous tip regarding her work as an adult film actress, although a subsequent internal review cleared her of policy violations, the Dallas Morning News reported.
Ugh, people suck!
