Maybe level up as a nurse? I don’t know all the designations but there are multiple types, correct?

Rna Cna lpn but also like fancy nurses who do some work akin to a doctor. ?

There are also research nurses. That’s a whole other type of work.

I used to work with one. Pretty sure they get paid more and I know the hours are better. 9-5 m-f type schedule (at least for the one I worked with).

Do any of these interest you? Surely it’s easier to level up than start something else?

I checked and someone has this one on eBay. $45 with shipping…

This thing is hella loud.
I never can run it at full volume at protests.

Have yet to run out of battery either.

It does have a big rainbow led light on the front but you can turn it off to save power.

There are other brands too of course and there might be better options.

I do have a 15w anker speaker that’s nice to pack to the beach or park or something but it can’t get even half as loud as this green one does.

Plus the microphone sounds way better than those muddy megaphones. I Used it a lot more than I thought I would.

I felt like a news anchor. Every time I’d see someone trying to lead a chant or a speech id run over. Hand them the mic and hold up the speaker.

(Fyi The gray things on the mic are added. Protect it if it’s dropped. They don’t come with it)

Even though the use of “Twitter” is outdated. It also kind of Still works.

Because the original users of Twitter have mostly left.

It’s definitely very catchy and has relevant lyrics.

Did you know that smoking cocaine isn’t that bad for you because lots of people are alcoholics. ?

S/

Oh I forgot. Here is the speaker I take to protests.

So I bought a rechargeable karaoke machine. One with large wattage and a wireless microphone.

It has a strap so you can wear it like a messenger bag. Thing is great for protests.
I use an old iPod with it.

And I let people use the mic to lead chants.

I bought it used on the eBay. Important thing is make sure it’s at or near 30W. Otherwise it’s not going to be very loud. I’ll post a pic of mine but it’s not made anymore and the newer models are 15W. Also it fits in a backpack. Barely but it does.

I got some of these songs from similar posts as yours. I try to keep variety on the playlist so everyone can enjoy the music.

When is the last time a farm worker was raped. Given a std that’s permanent. ?

Beaten. Stalked. ?

I think people should have sex with who they want. Not who they are forced to because of poverty.

If that’s bronze age morals, so be it.

Also lots of upper middle class women work. Most do actually.

Why is it only poor people do sex work ? https://www.uoc.edu/en/news/2025/study-90-percent-women-prostitution-only-option-survival

Here is another thing to consider. Sexual liberation is being free to express your own sexual desires and sexual behaviors without fear of stigmatization.

Sex work is being paid to conform to an expectation of a client , usually a man. A man that is unable to attract a partner due to various reasons. But none the less, is the type that has to pay for someone to pretend to want to be with them.

Being paid to pretend to want to have sex with someone is peak anti-sexual liberation.

It’s saying the sex workers pleasure and desires are irrelevant. Her only purpose is to apease a man’s pleasure. Not her own.

And she needs to smile while she does it.

Why is it mostly only women who do sex work? Why is that? Almost like if things were actually equal it wouldnt be so 1 sided.

Don’t confuse turning a profit for freedom. You have a very capitalistic view of sex. Capitalism not only fuels racism. It 100% fuels inequality.

Also. My previous Links were from university websites. Research articles about published peer reviewed articles and Wikipedia articles to define definitions. I’m guessing you didn’t actually look at them.

Have you ever considered which systematic aspects of our society fuel the patriarchy and inequality or do you think it just appeared one day and stays around for no reason?

You ever wonder why so many people vote against their own self interest?

Because they are tricked into thinking their shackles are freedom and liberation. They willingly put them on. Tell others it’s wonderful to be sold. It’s liberating, infact. So much sexual empowerment to be an object abused and used.

I literally gave multiple resources links in my original comment.

Its honestly sad to see so many people believe the Epstein class rhetoric has women’s best interest in mind.

Let’s you make bootleg Nintendo amiibos.

Really easy.

Like stupid easy.

Protecting women from trafficking and pimps is denying them agency?

I specifically said I’m against criminalizing sex workers.

This is akin to denying critical race theory.

Stop and think about who benefits. It literally is the Epsteins of this world benefiting from this glamorized false narrative about how sex work is.

I would never hold it against a women for choosing sex work. What I do have a problem with is the systems that have made sure she doesn’t have any better options.

These false narratives that it’s empowering.

And the men in power who push this narrative that her only value is whatever they like about the way she looks.

So do nothing because the world isn’t perfect. ?

As I keep saying. There is scientific evidence supporting the harms of sexual objectification. The harms of making prostitution legal.

You can pretend it’s not true. Doesn’t change the reality.

But it is worse.

That’s my whole point backed up with research.

And it specifically makes the world more hostile for women and girls.

It perpetuates the very systems that harm us under the guise of “sexual empowerment”.

Please think about who benefits the most from sexual objectification of women and girls.

It is not women and girls. No matter how you spin it as “empowerment” or anything else.

Okay so you don’t actually know anyone who has aged out of sex work .

My “puritanical views”. Is this a joke?

My stance is I’m against human trafficking. I’m against pimps. I’m against workers being hurt by johns. I’m against the promotion of misogyny and objectification of people. I’m against capitalism turning human connection into just another thing to exploit for money. I’m especially against the harms it perpetuates in society.

And I’m against people resorting to the high risk sex work because it’s the easy choice when there should be better options for people.

People have more value that tits and ass. Or a hole.

They actually do.

You can pretend the risks and statistics I gave you aren’t real.

It doesn’t make them false.

Also I certainly don’t appreciate your strawman what-aboutism argument.

We aren’t talking about people who do labor jobs. We are talking about sex workers.

Jesus. How can you possibly believe that sex work is good for women. I mean. Seriously. How fucked up is it to believe that ?

Why would you support the systems that harm women the most. Why. ? Do you hate women ? I can’t see why anyone would think sex work is a great career opportunity for women except people like Epstein and trump.

Cause those are the types of people that benefit from women being exploited this way.

How does making sex work legal help a 40 year old with no skills or job experience?

Decriminalizing sex work is much more effective at reducing crime on the sex workers.

If you don’t believe me, look into the Netherlands.

They have a huge problem with sex trafficking because it’s legal to sell sex there.

It doesn’t protect anyone. It encourages sex trafficking and pimping. Especially for foreign victims and young girls.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_trafficking_in_the_Netherlands

In 2017, it was estimated by the Dutch National Rapporteur on Trafficking in Human Beings and Sexual Violence against Children that more than 6,000 people in the Netherlands fall victim to human trafficking each year.[6][7] Two thirds of the people trafficked, about 4,000 people per year, fall victim to sexual slavery and abuse.[6] This group consisted largely of Dutch women, including minors (1,320 girls each year) who were preyed upon by so-called “lover boys”.[7] The other 2,000 victims of human trafficking were largely foreigners who were put to work by organized crime groups.[6]

I know it sounds like legalizing it would help sex workers. But the reality is that it doesn’t.

Objectification of bodies never leads to good ends.

How about instead we invest in free education and job training and pay people a living wage so that the dangerous sex work isn’t their best option for survival.

I think you are really downplaying the risks here. I have friends who have done sex work. It’s incredibly dangerous. Men may hurt you. They may stalk you. They may give you a std.
Sometimes the woman agrees to a specific service and the man forces her to do something she said she didn’t want to do.

It’s not like they can go to the police.

Police will just say “well that’s what you get for being a whore”.

Trans women in sex work have even higher rates of violence and murder.

Men (usually young) are also subjected to the same risks as women.

Also just because it’s easy doesn’t mean it’s the best long term option

I mean most of the problems in this world are caused by people wanting things the easy way even if it makes things harder later.

Do sex work in your 20s instead of developing a career. Then when you are too old and 40 with no job prospects and no skills, and no one wants you. What then ?

Yeah quite a lot are married too. Kinda messed up.
