SB Internet Safety Masterpost

Everything on this post is of the highest importance but I feel this one gets overlooked a lot in this community. Girls, DO NOT UPLOAD ANY PICS YOU HAVE ON ANY ACCOUNTS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR SUGAR LIFE TO ANY ACCOUNT ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR VANILLA LIFE. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. Any and all pictures associated with your sugar life should be taken solely for that purpose. I don’t care how good you look in that selfie girl do not not let a sugar pic go anywhere near your vanilla life. 

Always, always, always remove EXIF data from any picture uploaded to a sugar site or sent to a POT/SD. You can learn about that here. I chose to share this link because it shows you how to turn of geo locations on your iPhone so you don’t even have to worry about removing EXIF if you don’t have your geo location on. There are plenty of free websites and apps that offer this service so you don’t have to remove it manually from the files on your computer. 

Social Media

Social media can be your biggest enemy. We see stories all the time of POTS or SDs finding SBs personal social media pages. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the privacy settings. Facebook is probably the worst of the lot. Here is the basic rundown of FB privacy settings and here are  10 Privacy Settings to Check that I had no idea even existed! Set all possible accounts to have the highest privacy settings possible. Delete old accounts you no longer use. 

Email

Don’t have just ONE email associated with your sugar life. I would suggest a minimum of two. I use one for tumblr and one for all my other sugar accounts. I’m soon creating other email account to become even more secure. Basically you will become more secure online if you use multiple email accounts to login to sites. God forbid your one or two emails get hacked, then what happens girl?  Passwords Use a different password for every account you have. Now you’re probably think guuuurl there is no way I can keep up with all those emails and on top of that have a different password for ALL emails and ALL sugar accounts. Listen. Download the Norton Identity Safe for Android or for iPhone. This is your new best friend. My favorites include the ease of copying passwords and viewing usernames. 

It also has three login options, touchID, a strong password or a PIN with the option of randomizing the keypad every time so if someone is watching they can’t guess your PIN!! 

You can also login in via their secure Norton web browser with just a click of a button! 

Evernote 

Evernote has been hacked before a few years back but has had no problems recently, this a fantastic platform to save data and have it sync with all your devices! There are other platforms similar to Evernote but you have to pay to get a good one. I would just stick to Evernote and again use a different email with this account ideally that isn’t linked with anything else. Evernote will save your butt. I put all the details I can’t be bothered to remember about my POTS. You can set reminders and make to do lists. Very handy!

Screen shots 

Keep records of everything. I take screenshots of conversations with POTS and also screenshots of their profiles. I save all this to the respective Notebooks in Evernote. 

IP Address 

Learn how to find an IP address. This link breaks down how to find the IP from an email pretty easy.

That’s it for now. I’m sure I’ve overlooked a few things. Don’t let technology get the better of you. Make it your bitch instead. Make this work in your favor ladies.

When you’re in the middle of procrastinating and suddenly the Will to Work™ hits you

I need the Democrats to understand something.

If they send out checks that are even one dollar short of $2000, there is no way in Hell it will not backfire on them HARD.

People were told “$2000 checks!” the whole time. It was a campaign slogan, they put it on posters, in campaign ads, speeches, it was a goddamned mantra that they wouldn’t let you forget.

So when they turn around and suddenly start saying “$1400 will supplement the $600 you already got.” People feel lied to, and rightfully so. A deal that suddenly comes with an asterisk after one side has already upheld their end, means they will never work with you again if they can help it.

Anytime the Democrats claim that they are working towards solving a problem, most people are going to remember this and conclude the Democrats are full of shit. It’s long been said that the biggest obstacle for Democrats in an election is voter apathy, but they never consider the role they play in causing that apathy.

If the Democrats really really want to be able to hold onto the momentum that gave them power to affect lasting change for eight years rather than getting kneecapped after two, they need to get people the $2000 checks they had promised. 

No Caveats. No loopholes. No bullshit.

Malcolm in the Middle tbh

I am literally begging, BEGGING modern media to portray healthy relationships. enough cheating. enough infidelity. enough disrespect. show me people who love each other, proper communication, and a strong mental as well as physical connection. I want plots about people who are madly in love with each other and STAY madly in love with each other. please. I am losing my mind.

Just in case you were wondering: any piece of media that creates “good” and “bad” races (Skyrim, Fallout, LOTR, D&D, etc), is racist. Any piece of media that presents a single “good” member of an “evil” race, or in which the “evil” members of a race far outnumber the “good” members, is racist. Any piece of media that uses the fact that the evil races are permanently and unchangingly evil - even though there may or may not be exceptions! - to justify the genocide and extermination of that race, is racist.

This is not a Watsonian argument. The relative goodness or evilness of a good or evil race, in that piece of media, is irrelevant. The fact is, if you write a story that pits two different races against one another, and one is deemed good and one is deemed evil, that is racist.

So I’m preparing to launch an OF soon and I joined a couple FB groups for creators just as part of my research and I swear to god yall, these girls are irritating meeeeee, who are these like, teenyboppers who are shocked that sex work actually takes work?? Like some of these girls almost seem cartoonish from how little work they’re willing to do and how outrageously naive they are. One literally asked “how do I have an OF without anyone being mean to me about it” or “how does this work how do I know what photos to take” like what are yall doing, how could you not look into this at ALL and expect random facebook people to hold your hand and do this for you?? What on earth yall

I feel like half of me wants to look like Dita Von Teese and the other half of me wants to look like a 12 year old skater boy in 2006 with a white tank top, an open plaid button up shirt and a pair of ripped up jeans.

Look. Online sex work is just as valid as in-person sex work and I understand it’s difficult and comes with its’ own difficulties. But don’t you dare fucking tell me we can’t use “whorephobia” as a term because it makes you uncomfortable if you’ve never even done in-person sex work. Sorry, yall can all cancel me if you want, but don’t you dare tell in-person sex workers they can’t use the literal fucking sociological term that means “political and social movements and stigmas against sex workers” because it makes you uncomfy when you know damn well your work isn’t even illegal. I am livid.
