I’m terrible at doing #SoSS things, but I wanted to do a tiny one.
Just as a reminder, Share Our Shit Saturday is a place to boost other bloggers’ posts you’ve read. It’s not compulsory, and I’ve been bad about sharing regularly so I’m glad it’s not. I figured in light of recent conversations about sharing outside your usual group, I wanted to share some posts that are good and important to read.
Check out Angel’s (@lupespace) post on How To Be A Shitty Ally. It’s easy for people to talk like they are allies, but really it’s show. Take note because everyone can do better.
This isn’t a blog post, rather it’s a thread on Twitter. Pillow Princess (@PillowPrincessR) do a long, excellent thread on something things that are an issue in the sex blogging community. While I don’t agree with everything she said, I do agree with the large majority of her words.
I have so much love for this community and I believe it is ultimately one that can grow. There are countless good people in it, those who want to learn and do amazing things. We all have our advantages and disadvantages, and it’s easy to think our disadvantages mean we don’t have to put forth effort. Think about how you present to the world. Does that first glance presentation afford you advantages? No one is asking you to put yourself out or in danger, but truly use that advantage to boost others who need a leg up.
So that’s my tiny share. Happy Saturday and as always, drinks on me.
