A rant regarding a video I recently uploaded onto my youtube: “feminists don’t  really  want equality” & 6 other myths about feminism I keep getting personal messages sent to me on youtube from MRA's calling me scum and trying to tear me down but all it does is prove that their opinions are not worth my worry. i am always open to critical debate and i can defend my views but only when it is appropriate (ie. has SOME basis for its truth other than a feminist-hating forum on reddit).

The two-dimensional stereotype attached to sex-work is ignorant and perpetuates a culture of violence against innocent people who are just doing their job (which there is and likely always will be a market for, I might add). There may be risks that come with a line of work which often requires secrecy and vulnerability (to some extent), but ...

I'm in Toronto for the week, staying at my 2 lovely uncles' house with Tyler and my friends and here is some documentation of the fun!!!!  Jessica and me bein' all cute and dressy Jess and Lilly are my favorite sad sacks of all time 

Did a quick but dramatic photoshoot with my favorite gals today. We sorta mixed 1920's vibes with spooky tarot cards and candles.. I quite like the result!! And before anyone asks, the prism effect is done by a filter for my camera that I got at a used camera store!! Sorry, I wish I could be more helpful when I'm asked about it. Models: Warsan, Lilly, Georgia, and myself. Photos by me (except the ones of me), editing by me! Sometimes y'just gotta put on the ritz and go applesauce! see the rest after the jump!
