I called out a photographer, Pete Jones, a couple days ago on my IG for being shady, creepy and unprofessional and I guess he’s a little butthurt that I chose not to work with him. Dodged a bullet!

Anyone on here partnered with someone who’s NOT in our industry? Looking to do an episode on what a supportive partner might look like and the importance to the understandings of our industry.

@Amina_io @AshleyLatke I’d be more interested in hearing more about SW in Japan. Or in Asia in general and how the cultures differ vastly. If you’re ever interested in speaking on a pro-SW podcast (run by a SWer - me), I’d be happy to have you on to speak about your experience.

I just got a custom video request to cook and eat instant noodles in the nude. THIS IS LITERALLY MY DREAM COME TRUE. 🥰.

I’d love to do an episode on alcohol consumption in our industry. In dancing especially, I’m seeing more girls going alcohol-free (including myself!). Can anyone else relate? Or not relate?.

SWers, what are your goals in this career? Looking for some inspiration! Some of mine is to be financially (mortgage) free one day, to be in the position to not be worrying about money, and to start a family.

@waifuumia Doesn’t the ahegao face perpetuate racial stereotypes and fetishization against Asians, specifically Japanese folks? 👀👀 Commenting as a POC in a thread full of white folks….

I’m curious: anyone I know in my network celibate or asexual while doing SW? Or have no desire to do anything sexual outside of the work?.

I’ve always wanted to do an episode discussing the privileges in SW. Things like being face out, using your real name, the choice to screen, etc. Would anybody be interested in chatting about that? Or listening to that?.

SWers: how do you combat days when you are antisocial when you have to be ✨on✨ with your clients?.

On that note, do any of you ever consider taking a break from SW? Of course, it is a privileged place to be in but I haven’t been enjoying my time here, feel disconnected from the community and feeling unmotivated. Probably a shit mix of all the things I’ve been feeling lately.

So I got engaged recently and I finally get around the posting about it and someone (who was actually a past client of mine) has the audacity to post this. Like what was he planning to do, doxx me? The answer is yes. Let me have my moment goddamnit.

The time finally came and I told off one of my old sugar daddies (but not real a daddy?). I was tired of him not respecting my boundaries of him not texting me on paid apps and how much he didn’t value my time. I feel SO GOOD and a weight lifted off my shoulders after years 🥹.

What are your thoughts on courses on how do to SW? Like a how to guide? In some areas, this can actually be quite illegal. But I’m also on the side of providing resources to folks who are starting out for free for better accessibility. Thoughts?.

My mind has been so occupied the last few months. One thing that’s been on my mind is retirement. What does SW retirement look like to you? Tying up loose ends? Leaving quietly? An announcement?.

Why do clients like to tell me how much they’re paying other SWers? I mean that’s great and all but it’s really boring for me. How do they expect me to react? 😑😑😑.

Yall…I will just say that 5 minutes before your interview time is NOT an appropriate to cancel. Please treat podcasters time as you would as your own session, clients, work, collabs, etc. Don’t waste our time! 😑 If this was work, you’d be losing your deposit and on a blacklist.

I heard from the grapevine that a friend of mine is questioning how she expects me to me to raise future kids with the work that I do. This was a friend I’ve had for a LONG time. Disappointed.

I’d love to have a conversation about gatekeeping in this industry - how and why that can be dangerous, now it perpetuates the whorearchy, and when and where to keep that information (is there a time?!). What are your thoughts?.

As SWers, do you ever consider yourself a role model to others? I do in a lot of senses. As a leader, one to inspire others, as an entrepreneur. What about you all?.

Excited to be guest lecturing tonight at my Alma mater. And it’s nice to get paid to speak on the topic of SW. I’m glad that academic professionals are paying us for this labour. I’ve personally come a long way from doing this for free and to ask to be compensated. 👏.

I’ll also be doing an episode on how SWers self-care. How do YOU self-care? This might look different for everyone so really curious to hearing how you do it and perhaps inspire others. Post below and RT - I’ll be reading these aloud on a future episode on the pod! ⬇️⬇️⬇️.

I’ve been requested to do on episode on review boards: the good, the bad, the ugly. And I know there’s lots of ugly. Who wants to come on to speak about this?.

I’ll also be doing an episode on SWers as subjects: as the topic of documentaries, research, etc. and why this can harmful towards our community. This episode topic will also discuss proper and accurate storytelling and the importance to tell the stories of SWers. Questions?.

I was thinking this morning about the first time I felt stigma about this job. It was 2017 and I was dating someone and a reality TV pilot I was on about sugar dating came out and it went viral. He texted me that our “values were not aligned” and that he didn’t want to date me.

Good morning! Got some of the photos back from this 70s-vibe shoot that I had yesterday. Fun Polaroid-effect editing on the photos and some great gems in here! Happy to shoot with other SWer-owned photographers in the area.

Today is the first day where I’ve gone part time in my civ job so I can allow more time for SW! I have big plans next year so really trying to lean in more to my SW journey. And a lot of that is owed to how much I’ve learned from this community!.

What’s your key to success to longevity in the industry? Are there things that you do to purposely keep you motivated? Have work boundaries? I’m doing an episode on this and want to see how you guys do it. For me, separation is vital! I have other things outside of SW.
