You can really tell when someone hasn’t had contact with the average hand-to-mouth, gig-to-gig sex worker. “A sex worker’s client is half the fucking job” mhm and most sex workers do not like johns and wish they didn’t have to rely on them for money to live. Low contact, video only sex work is not the common denominator in this industry. A fraction of a percent of sex workers are wealthy enough to live well and not have to perform. And those tend to be the most popular ones who feed on and feed into sexual trends, which trickle down to effect struggling sex workers who have less agency. Because, again, 99% of sex workers aren’t Mia Khalifa and Belle Delphine. They are young, poor, and without any ability to dictate trends or their job outcome. Class consciousness means we must be conscious of how class stratification affects all forms of labor. The most visible, influential, and unaffected will continue to lead their respective industries until they are questioned. Despite this other side of this argument (from what I’ve seen) claiming communism there seems to be a strange Democracy of the Dollar undercurrent to this argument. That this arrangement and its machinations are just because there is a buyer continuing to supply demand, and if we criticize the “buyers” we are harming “suppliers”. In our current circumstances, sex work is stigmatized because it is seen as a criminal act that both the john and worker partake in. It is individualized as a social evil effecting only those who are involved. Pulling back the scope to show how this exchange is socially informed and how that can ultimately harm workers across multiple exchanges does not create the same stigma. It can, surprisingly, lead to beneficial changes for both parties. While I wish sex workers would not need to perform under coercion, I believe in harm reduction over prohibition and that doesn’t mean “no holds barred” on what can be considered ok and not. It means everyone has to change their mindset for the betterment of those who can’t choose, even if it means it’s a little harder for you to get your rocks off however and whenever you want.

#agree w all this this is my exact stance #i want sw to be something ppl aren’t forced to do but also something not illegal so that those at the bottom aren’t punished by law for #participating #i also think that like u said the ones at the topic feeding into harmful things ARE responsible and those of us not as well off have to #deap with the repercussions #you can love and respect sex workers while understanding the set up doesn’t exist in a bubble #you can support us without ignoring the ones that say it isn’t all rainbows and candy #✉️

You’re not a creature in a body. You exist as the stars exist, participating in their stillness, their immensity.

Please stop seeing politics as an identity and start seeing it as a collective means for change

#i am so tired of ppl trying to use 'theres no ethical consumption under capitalism' in regards to BDS #it's not about ethics it's about participating in a political strategy palestinians have spent YEARS promoting as a means for change #some things are in fact not about you #social justice #I/P #social issues #palestine #gaza #free palestine #free gaza #id in alt #overflowing trashcan

James Torrance on GRACE DISCIPLESHIP!

James Torrance on GRACE DISCIPLESHIP!

“It seems to me that in a pastoral situation, our first task is not to throw people back on themselves with exhortations and instructions as to what to do and how to do it, but to direct people to the gospel of grace – to Jesus Christ, that they might look to him to lead them, open their hearts in faith and in prayer, and draw them by the Spirit into his eternal life of communion with the Father.”

- J. B. Torrance (Worship, Community, and the Triune God of Grace, pg. 34)

“Although Torrance does not spell out the shape of the Christian life, his life is a dynamic testament to the radical ethical and socio-political imperatives of his theology. Torrance boldly challenged apartheid in South Africa and the religious and political conflict in Northern Ireland. However, the benefit of not statically spelling out the shape of the Christian life is that he evades the danger of moralistic interpretation. Moreover, whilst his theology might leave us with various questions regarding the Christian life, Torrance directs us to where we can find the ultimate answer: through participating by the Spirit in the Son’s intimate communion with the Father.”

- Alexandra Sophie Radcliffe (“James B. Torrance and The Doctrine Of Sanctification” in Participatio Journal)
