DCHobbyist Idiot DuJour

Internet, prostitution, sex work
[caption id="attachment_1917" align="alignleft" width="300"] Not the sharpest tool[/caption]If you work for the President Of The United States and you bang hookers, it's probably not a good idea to create a secret Twitter account and taunt your bosses at the White House. It's an even worse idea to also have a second secret Twitter account where you prolifically talk about how you pay for sex. That is however what one person did. Then he got caught. Then he made national media. Like a dumbass. He created @NatSecWonk  (get it national security wonk..*eyeroll*) and he used that Twitter account to denigrate his bosses and anyone else in the political realm he felt like. I guess people in  national security circles and some journalist followed him. I guess he thought he was being…

P411 Infiltrated

prostitution, sex work
Screening services are designed to keep escorts safe from arrest. They in theory are places legitimate escorts register to be able to hook up with legitimate potential clients. Legitimate in this case when referring to clients means not the cops. A screening service will screen a potential by often doing a work verification. Making sure that whoever, is really Joe the plumber and not Jack the cop. I'm not sure how they do their client screens but I know how I do them and its pretty extensive. There are many ways to verify someones employment. Visa does it all the time and I personally employ some of Visa's methods. No I wont tell you what they are. You have to be on your game. The smarter the cops get the…

War of the words

prostitution, sex work
[caption id="attachment_1707" align="alignleft" width="189"] I've got your dewey decimal system[/caption]Its seems as if its always such an uphill battle, you're always pushing that heavy rock up that very big hill, the war of the words, the fight for the narrative when it comes to sex work and sex workers. It's frustrating when people who aren't sex workers "get it wrong"even when they mean well. When you run across someone misusing the correct terminology  and conflating and isolating prostitution with "sex work"  it can be disheartening, frustrating and very annoying because you know when you come across that, that you are losing narrative ground in the battle of the words. I try to be understanding when i come face to face with it but lets face it, I'm outspoken and often…

[caption id="attachment_1621" align="alignleft" width="183"] time time time[/caption]Stop adding time wasters to shared safety blacklists for dangerous clients! Yes, that's right you heard me, knock that shit off. A blacklist is for serious issues. Not because some one's a dumb fuck or annoying obnoxious gnat in email. That's what your PERSONAL blacklist is for. Shared safety blacklists are for SAFETY ISSUES and and your not helping buy putting  people who are just stupid fucks on blacklists.  If you don't know the difference between a safety issue and some jerk off fucking with your time, then my god its time to talk stock in your business practices and do some self reflection. We all have annoying time wasters up in our in boxes. In fact there's  this hilarious time waster dedicate website…
