Reject Sabra, embrace 25 pound bags of dried chickpeas. And a note to add for your recipe for anyone new to homemade hummus: tahini can vary wildly in how strong it tastes. Start with 1/4 cup and add more to taste.

"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say we are tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We know that when the people understand, they cannot help but follow us."

Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle is a fun and cute show if you're looking for something like that.

It seems the person in question didn't report this income and therefore didn't pay taxes on it.

Reminds me of the joke about a man that dies in a flood waiting for good to save him while turning down any actual rescuers.

Meat eaters: if you need a sign from God or fate or whatever to start being vegan, here's yet another one. Try not to drown before you change your mind.

I feel like your completely glossing over the whole increased risk of rape and violence aspect that prostitution involves compared to wage labor.

Example #732 of why ethnonationalism is bad.

I feel like you're ignoring the reality that the prostitution industry avoids formal recognition by its very nature. Clients want to stay anonymous, pimps want to stay underground, and many prostitutes want to remain under the radar. Formal recognition is a necessary prerequisite for regulation and labor law.

Do you plan on this being a lifelong career for you? Why or why not?

This is such a lib take that it pains me to read it. The whole post is worth a read, btw.

Such a complete misunderstanding of the industry is the result of a flattening of distinctions between all work and a misunderstanding of Marxist theory. Wage labor is exploitative because of the surplus value extracted from the workers' labor. Prostitution is sexual exploitation because it feeds off of extreme vulnerability to maintain a class of prostitutes, coerces sex through money and power, and exposes those women to high amounts of rape and violence. Not all work involves coercive sex, not all work comes with the high risk of rape and male violence in whatever legal context it operates under. Not all work puts the body and it’s component parts on the market to be bought, sold, and rented at will to the highest bidder.

The only one I know of is this totally real note from the Falun Gong:

I'm pretty sure that you meant the blue aliens one, but Jet was right.
