When I left home and tried to go to college, I had to drop out because of financial reasons - my parents earned too much money for me to qualify for financial aid, but also wouldn't help me, and refused to cosign on any loans - they were very "use your bootstraps" people. 2/

So I dropped out after 3 months and went to work at a factory. The factory sucked. I worked ~54 hour weeks on an assembly line, often waking up at 4:30 am. The factory had no windows and I would go days without seeing the sun. I was 19 years old. 3/

After about a year of this I moved cities and vowed never to work for another boss again. I slept on a friend's couch and tried self employment through commercial photography. This failed (it was Idaho). I briefly dated a guy who introduced me to the concept of camming. 4/

I broke up with him, but needed money and decided to try being a camgirl. It was scary, but my first night I earned $60, which was extremely exciting. I kept doing it, sort of obsessively, and got very good. I started camming at 20 years old and did this for 5 years - 5/

through a lot of world travel, through doing a lot of acid (at 22). I was in a few documentaries and interviewed by Playboy, including performing at the Playboy mansion. I also used my audience to get into surveys and data analysis. Eventually I got hired by a crypto company. 6/

I had to quit camming to work for the company, but I was burned out, so I did. From 25-26 I worked there but found out I had no idea how to operate in a "normal company" and was bad at it and didn't like it. I eventually quit, and helped found http://www.askhole.io 7/

26+ I've been nonsexual online, as probably most of you following me have found. I don't post porn, I post 'weird questions' and 'sometimes essays.' I've found moving out of sex work has increased the amount people take me seriously, which I sort of didn't expect. 8/

Maybe this is naive, but I'd been immersed in the sex work world for so long and from such an early age that it just seemed default to me and I wasn't ashamed of it and wasn't treated worse because of it. So quitting camming and watching my "reputation" or whatever get better 9/

was pretty weird. Suddenly verified accounts were following me, and I was getting requests to be on good upstanding podcasts. But now, I'm in a position now where financially, it makes sense for me to start returning to sex work (Onlyfans). This has put me in a weird spot. 10/

That was what camming was for me (except obvs with porn) and I am really done with live streaming at this point in my life. Maybe one day I'll want to try it out again but I just hate it.
