Thai-style spa services

Thailand has been a consistent winner of several spa awards for many years. Thailand's spa sector appears to be in good condition, evolving with the changing needs of spa clients to a focus not far from the old goal of traditional Thai massage and herbal treatment techniques. Despite the necessity to integrate Western principles, the Thai spa industry's competitive advantage is its historic heritage: the rituals, treatments, and massage techniques that have lasted the millennia.

It has an authenticity that spas throughout the world strive to emulate, and "Thainess" has also become a key marketing factor for Thai spas. It is critical to understand why Thai spas with Thainess or in Thai style have won numerous accolades and surprised the globe!

Thainess refers to both the therapists and the cultural characteristics that have made Thailand the spa capital of the Asia-Pacific region and a must-have component for spas worldwide. While Thainess might mean different things to different individuals, it appears to encompass old therapeutic procedures, folk wisdom in its ceremonies, and, probably most importantly, graciousness when applied to Thai therapists.

Maintaining wellbeing through a better balance of the body, mind, and spirit, as well as with the environment, has become a fundamental principle for Thailand's award-winning spas and new initiatives. Thailand is increasingly positioned as a medical destination offering both orthodox and alternative treatments.

Thailand, known as the "Land of Healthy Smiles," offers its health and beauty-conscious visitors the wonders of pampering and holistic spa treatments for the body, mind, and spirit. The discovery of health and wellness includes a comprehensive selection of world-renowned day spas, destination spas, hotel/resort spas, and medical spas.

Spa treatments in Thai style can help you connect with your inner self in a variety of locations across the country. A Thai spa is unquestionably a worthwhile treat that gives the best spa experience. Without a doubt, this causes discerning tourists and receivers to fall in love with Thai spas with Thainess or in Thai style!

Thailand is a world-class spa destination because of its delicate blend of cultural heritages and diversities. Thai spas, with a focus on health and beauty, incorporate methods of relaxation and health enhancement, both physically and spiritually.

They bloom in Bangkok and key tourist cities around the country. The Thai spa experience incorporates indigenous resources, unique traditions, and local wisdom that have been passed down through the generations. Recognizing potential market niches for spa business, spa operators look to this historic treasure trove to produce and showcase the greatest Thai style spas to ensure worldwide spa recipients a lasting spa expectation.

In truth, Thailand's spa treatments differ greatly from those provided at top spa facilities across the world because the spa theory there has been embraced and adapted into traditional Thai style. The globe has been impressed by an imported spa recipe with a distinctive Thai twist! Spa facilities in Thailand also are of premium and exceptional value for money.

 A tropical sanctuary with natural and cultural diversity, Thailand is regarded one of the world's most recognised holiday resorts. This is a great plus that helps strengthen the country's basic strength as an eternal spa paradise. Additionally, top-notch spa supplies give foreign spa visitors a fresh perspective and a sense of familiarity.

Thai spas give visitors the chance to experience several aspects of traditional Thai culture. Thai spa experiences stand out because the staff members are innately friendly and service-oriented. The kindheartedness and gentleness of the Thai people compliment gracious hospitality and high-quality service, adding to the distinctive Thai touch's global recognition.

The Theravada Buddhist tradition strongly promotes kindness, compassion, and providing solace to others, and these virtues are deeply ingrained in daily life. The gesture is also logical and sincere. Additionally, the majority of spa facilities are built with distinctively Thai features that are highly regarded among foreign visitors.

The Land of Healthy Smiles, which offers a wide range of spa services, has also developed a wide range of retreats, alternative therapies, one-on-one consultations, and life coaching. Traditional Thai, Swedish, Javanese, and Sports massages, foot reflexology, aromatherapy, acupuncture, acupressure, hydrotherapy, skincare services including body wraps and facial scrubs, treatments for the face, skin, and hair, herbal steams, and floral baths are all frequent offerings at Thai spas.

Along with healthy nutrition and detoxifying, the Thai spa experience also includes body and mind exercises like yoga, tai chi, pilates, stress management, holistic wellbeing, and spa cuisine. Thai spas are well-known throughout the world thanks to its holistic therapies. The therapeutic properties of Thai herbs and plants that have been particularly designed to rebalance, repair, and revitalise the body, mind, and spirit are the foundation of many healing methods, holistic treatments, and wellbeing programmes.

The Changretta Calls-2

Aurora & Darby Sabini

Summary: Luca and Aurora arrive in England. Aurora calls Darby to see how their plans have progressed. Luca confronts Aurora about things that have been kept from him.

Author's Note: We're still not into the proper fic just yet. So this is the prequel Part 2 for My Sun My Moon and All My Stars.

Read the First call between Tommy & Ada here.

Aurora kicked off her heels, massaging her feet as she asked the operator to connect her to a number across town. Her eyes darted to the closed door momentarily as she waited to hear her cousin’s voice.

“Pronto,” came the sudden reply, a nasal voice unmistakably familiar.

“Darby, it’s Aurora,” she stated quickly.

“Mia bella cugina!” Darby purred.

“Have our plans succeeded?” Aurora asked impatiently.

“You don’t have time to say hello? Make polite conversation? How’s your father, piccolina?” Darby chided her.

“We’ve only just arrived and I’m exhausted. So I need to know. Is Tommy Shelby dead?” Aurora asked again, more forcefully. She held her breath as she awaited an answer, fearing the worst. She knew Darby wouldn’t be stalling with small talk if he had more important news to give her. 

The line was silent for a moment, Darby shifting uncomfortably in his leather chair. “No, the plan failed,” Daby finally confessed.

“Cazzo!” Aurora nearly shouted before remembering she needed to be quiet. 

“So vulgar, Aurora! What would your father say?” Darby asked.

“He would tell you that he spared Mr. Vitale and Antonio from San Marcos three months ago for one specific reason, the death of our enemy! And now you’ve fucked it up!"

"It wasn't our fault, cugina! Tommy Shelby is paranoid and crazy! He was waiting for this if you ask me." Darby stumbled over his words in his haste to explain the predicament they faced.

Aurora pitched forward, rubbing a hand across her forehead as she allowed him to continue speaking, though she wasn't really listening. It was more excuses that were useless to her. She had hoped this would all be finished and she and Luca would arrive as conquering heroes, ready to have the remaining Shelbys sign over their business interests immediately.

She felt sick as she realized a new strategy would be needed and that would take more time. Time they didn't have.

"I'm tired, Darby. I need rest and time to think," Aurora said, excusing herself from the call.

"Of course, let me know how we can be of help," her cousin answered, all too glad to be ending the disastrous call.

Aurora dropped the receiver with a heavy hand as the bedroom door slowly opened toward her. Luca loomed large in the doorway, an obvious look of disapproval on his face.

"Who was that, amore?" he asked with more than a hint of jealousy.

"I rang Darby to let him know we arrived," Aurora answered, attempting not to lie. Luca always knew when she held something back though.

"I heard you say Tommy Shelby's name," Luca pressed and it came out as a threat without any effort on his part. His large frame towered over Aurora easily, a thunderous expression and clenched fists enough to do the job.

"We were discussing him, yes," Aurora conceded.

"Discussing my family's vendetta without your husband?" Luca asked with disgust.

Aurora stood to face him, unafraid of his intimidation. "It's our vendetta, Luca. My family is backing you, remember?"

Luca gave a smug smile as he retorted, "Oh, so you and daddy thought you'd solve my problem for me. Is that it?"

Aurora rolled her eyes, "You're twisting my words."

Luca shook his head and raised a finger, "Don't play dumb, Aurora. It doesn't suit you." He took a step closer and raked his fingers through her hair tugging at the ends forcefully until she looked up at him. His voice lowered an octave as he revealed, "I heard every word you said."

"And?" Aurora said tauntingly, refusing to give him an inch.

Tired of her games, Luca snapped, yelling in her face, "You sent an assasin to do my job!" He tilted his head to study his wife's face before jerking his chin at her angrily. "Vaffanculo! You don't do anything without my say so!"

Aurora scoffed, "Is that right? Let me tell you something, Luca, without me, you wouldn't stand a chance here! It's the Sabini name that means something!" she asserted, pushing her chest to his with such force she could feel his heart rate accelerating.

"Fuck the Sabinis!" Luca shouted.

Aurora lashed out suddenly, scratching Luca with her sharp nails, digging into the flesh of his cheek. He emitted a hiss of pain as he relinquished his hold on her and Giovanni came running to see what the shouting was about.

"Boss?" he called as he looked at the large man doubled over, clutching his face.

Aurora pushed past her husband as she spat on him, "Don't ever say anything against my family again, stronzo!" She padded down the hall quickly, bare feet thrumming against the carpet in haste as Giovanni watched in shock. It was only his first few days with the couple and he didn't yet understand their ways.

"Let her go," Luca commanded as his bodyguard looked to him. Luca reached into his pocket for a handkerchief to stop the bleeding as Giovanni stepped back into the hall where Matteo stood.

"Did you hear that?" Giovanni asked his colleague.

"Yeah, they always do this. Sometimes she wins, sometimes he wins. I guess it was her tonight," Matteo shrugged. "She'll pay for it later though, I know that much," he said ominously.

Roméo was actually experiencing EDS symptoms alongside me at my parents house, he felt like his knees were sinking in... It has been improving since we began trying to treat MCAS again, which has not been easy in Texas since I have to rely on a common garbage drug such as alcohol to reduce my pain and sleep. Opiates don't really do anything for me due to a misunderstood liver condition (specific to the US, it's Gilberts Syndrome) I've had since birth and it also makes the pain far worse, when I actually do not get rebound pain from alcohol (as long as I sleep and eat properly!). Sleep has been a major factor in reducing the symptoms, alongside avoiding common cleaning chemicals. The symptoms appear again when I enter overly sanitized public establishments or homes, I could feel it stripping my mouth and nasal cavity of my bacteria while Roméo will get hives on his neck/face. We clean almost exclusively with vinegar/salt, we do not get sick with colds or COVID. I cannot do yoga or use a massage gun anymore when they were daily parts of my routine previously, both tools valuable for managing MCAS. No doubt in my mind that treating MCAS will enable me to continue living normally, without EDS, but it will take time. Time I did not have to sacrifice any longer when I want to get on my feet to get my kid back. I wanted to in San Antonio but I got so sick and delusional there that it would never be a possibility.

I cannot take acetaminophen due to Gilberts Syndrome, and I immediately get a GI reaction to ibuprofen because a Rheumy told me to take it multiple times a day as a child to prevent my pain attacks. Alcohol has been a desperate effort for me to ease my pain and SEVERE insomnia, it is a highly addictive drug, and it is utter NONSENSE that psychedelics are not federally legal.

ASKING THE JURY TO ACT AS THE VOICE OF THE COMMUNITY

NO. DC-16-05198

PLAINTIFF’S TRIAL BRIEF REGARDING ARGUMENTS ASKING THE JURY TO ACT AS THE VOICE OF THE COMMUNITY OR TO SEND A MESSAGE BY ITS VERDICT 

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT: 

Comes Now, Plaintiff and files this trial brief regarding Plaintiff’s arguing that the jury should act as the voice of the community or send a massage by its verdict and in support thereof would show the court as follows: 

“The Final Argument is Designed to be Persuasive” – Not “Lukewarm and Sterile” 

Because the purpose of final argument is to persuade the jury, attorneys enjoy a great latitude in crafting their arguments: 

Counsel is not required to make such a lukewarm and sterile argument that the jury is unable to determine which side of the case he is on, and likewise counsel must be indulged the privilege of flights of oratory. 

The final argument is designed to be persuasive, and so long as it is based upon the facts and issues raised by the evidence and not so inflammatory as to influence the jury to render an improper verdict, the argument is not intrinsically improper. 

Rainbow Express, Inc. v. Unkenholz, 

780 S.W.2d 427, 434 

(Tex. App.- Texarkana 1989, writ denied) (citations omitted). 

Accordingly, Texas law does not permit Defendants to micromanage the Plaintiff  family’s final arguments by motions in limine that would dictate what counsel can and cannot argue based on the facts and issues raised by the evidence. 

Asking the Jury to Send a Message as the Voice of the Community is Proper Argument Closing “arguments to send a message to the … industry… have been held to be within the logical parameters of a closing argument when based on the facts.” 

Schindler Elevator Corp. v. Anderson, 

78 S.W.3d 392, 405 (

Tex. App .-Houston [14th Dist.] 2001, judgm't vacated w.r.m.). 

Likewise, “pleas to the jury that it act as the voice of its community and ‘send a message’ are not improper.” 

In re A.J.G., 131 S.W.3d 687, 692-93 (Tex. App.--Corpus Christi 2004, pet. denied); see also 

Littleton v. Prange, 

9 S.W.3d 223, 230 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 1999, pet. denied) 

(“The involvement of juries in the judicial process provides an important voice of the community.”); 

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Garza, 

27 S.W.3d 64, 70 

(Tex. App.-San Antonio 2000, pet. denied) 

(“The standard of ‘reasonable care under all the circumstances’ enables a jury, as representatives of the community, to achieve an allocation of the costs of human injury which conforms to community standards of acceptable … behavior,” 

Hardberger, CJ, concurring); 

Haryanto v. Saeed, 

860 S.W. 2d 913,919-21 

(Tex. App. -Houston [14th Dist.] 1993, writ denied) 

(rejecting challenge against closing argument urging that the jury “should render a verdict that upholds the values of equality that America represents” and “should render a verdict that sends a message”); 

Rodriguez v. Hyundai Motor Co., 

944 S.W.2d 757, 774 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 1997), rev'd on other grounds, 

995 S.W.2d 661 (Tex.1999) 

(rejecting challenge to Hyundai’s argument which “appealed to the jurors, as citizens of Hidalgo County, to essentially make a statement … that… justice is not for sale in their county,” emphasis added). 

The Texas Supreme Court approved jury arguments which ask the jury to “send a message” in Uniroyal Goodrich Tire Co. v. Martinez, which involved an unsuccessful challenge against a jury argument “for $500,000 for each of the thirty-four other lawsuits filed against Goodrich so as to send a ‘message back to Akron.’” 

977 S.W.2d 328, 343 (Tex.1998) (emphasis added); 

see also Gorman v. Life Ins. Co. N. Am., 859 S.W.2d 382, 389 (Tex. App.- Houston [1st Dist.] 1993, no writ) (argument asking “the jury to leave a ‘legacy’ … and send a ‘message’… was not improper,” emphasis added); 

Gannett Outdoor Co. of Texas v. Kubeczka, 710 S.W.2d 79, 86-87 (Tex. App. - Houston [14th Dist.] 1986, no writ) (rejecting appellate challenge to argument asking the jury to “send a message” by their verdict because argument was supported by the evidence) 

Arguments asking the jury to act as a representative of the community and to “send a message by its verdict” are appropriate both in cases seeking punitive damages and in cases which do not seek punitive damages. 

Compare Ogden v. Wilson, 649 S.W.2d 780, 

786 (Tex. App.—Austin 1983, writ ref'd n.r.e) 

(punitive damage findings must be “grounded in the community's reaction, found in the jury's verdict, to the actions of” the defendant, emphasis added) with Nat'l Freight, Inc. v. Snyder, 

191 S.W.3d 416, 420 (Tex. App.-Eastland 2006, no pet.) 

(rejecting appellate challenge to argument asking the jury to “send a message …was improper because [plaintiff] did not seek the recovery of exemplary damages,” emphasis added). 

Similarly, arguments asking the jury to “send a message by its verdict” are also appropriate in cases where the jury is required to apportion liability among multiple parties. 

See Welch v. McLean, 

191 S.W.3d 147, 162 

(Tex. App.-Fort Worth 2005, no pet.) 

(“arguing that a finding of more than fifty percent negligence was necessary to send a message to Dr. Welch that he was more responsible for Delores's death than Dr. Novotny” was not improper, emphasis added).

Blood Pressure Management for Pregnant Women: Essential Tips

Pregnancy is a transformative journey that requires careful monitoring of overall health, including blood pressure management for pregnant women. High blood pressure during pregnancy can lead to complications such as preeclampsia, preterm birth, and other serious risks. Managing blood pressure effectively is essential for both maternal and fetal well-being. In this guide, we’ll explore practical tips to maintain a healthy blood pressure during pregnancy and ensure a smooth journey to motherhood.

Understanding Blood Pressure in Pregnancy

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries. A normal reading is around 120/80 mmHg, but during pregnancy, it can fluctuate due to hormonal changes. It is crucial to monitor blood pressure levels closely, especially if there is a history of hypertension or related conditions.

Types of Hypertension in Pregnancy

Chronic Hypertension – High blood pressure present before pregnancy or diagnosed before 20 weeks.

Gestational Hypertension – High blood pressure that develops after 20 weeks without protein in the urine.

Preeclampsia – A severe condition that includes high blood pressure and potential organ damage.

Effective Strategies for Blood Pressure Control During Pregnancy

1. Maintain a Balanced Diet

A nutritious diet is key to keeping blood pressure levels in check. Incorporating potassium-rich foods like bananas, leafy greens, and beans can help regulate blood pressure naturally. Avoid excessive salt intake and focus on a well-balanced diet with lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats.

2. Stay Hydrated

Dehydration can cause fluctuations in blood pressure. Pregnant women should drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily to support proper circulation and overall health.

3. Engage in Safe Physical Activity

Regular, moderate exercise like prenatal yoga, walking, and swimming can help maintain optimal blood pressure levels. Consult a healthcare provider before starting any exercise regimen to ensure safety.

4. Monitor Blood Pressure Regularly

Tracking blood pressure at home can provide valuable insights into any fluctuations. A digital blood pressure monitor is a convenient tool for this purpose. If readings become consistently high, seek medical guidance immediately.

5. Manage Stress Effectively

Stress can elevate blood pressure levels. Engaging in relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, and prenatal massage can help reduce stress and improve overall well-being.

6. Get Enough Rest and Sleep

Quality sleep plays a vital role in maintaining blood pressure stability. Pregnant women should aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night and use supportive pillows for comfort.

7. Limit Caffeine and Processed Foods

Caffeine and processed foods can contribute to blood pressure spikes. Limiting coffee, tea, and sugary foods can support a stable blood pressure level.

8. Follow Medical Guidance and Medication Protocols

For women diagnosed with hypertension, medical guidance is crucial. Some may require medication to keep blood pressure within a safe range. Always follow a doctor’s recommendations regarding prescriptions and lifestyle adjustments.

Recognizing Warning Signs

Certain symptoms may indicate complications related to high blood pressure during pregnancy. If you experience any of the following, seek medical attention immediately:

Severe headaches

Vision changes (blurred vision, light sensitivity)

Swelling in hands and face

Shortness of breath

Sudden weight gain

Importance of Professional Medical Support

For expert guidance, high blood pressure treatment in San Antonio, TX, is available through reputable healthcare providers. Seeking timely intervention can prevent complications and ensure a healthier pregnancy.

Conclusion

Blood pressure management for pregnant women is a crucial aspect of prenatal care. By adopting a healthy lifestyle, monitoring blood pressure regularly, and seeking professional guidance when needed, expectant mothers can ensure a smoother and safer pregnancy experience.

How being trafficked informed my sex work

Sep 27, 2023

Human Trafficking is defined by Oxford as “the unlawful act of transporting or coercing people in order to benefit from their work or service, typically in the form of forced labor or sexual exploitation.” Statistics compiled from the National Human Trafficking Hotline highlights over 10,000 reports in 2021 alone with their projected number of victims being upwards of 17,000 people. The top three types of trafficking they report are: escort services, pornography, and illicit massages; however trafficking also occurs in non sexual ways as well. Victims are often exploited and recruited by employers, family members, and intimate partners. Emotional, economic, and psychological abuse remain the top three ways that victims are coerced into human trafficking and human trafficking can happen to any person regardless of their chosen and ascribed identities. 

I, like many other survivors of child sex trafficking, had my access point through a friend. A fellow misguided and out right clumsy teen lying about their age to sneak into strip and dance clubs in Houston, Texas. I had met her at a teen night at a now shut down club after we were both fondled by the same guys on the dancefloor. He managed to get a hand under both of our skirts about three times before we decided to ditch the club. We talked mostly via text or on snapchat- the sex work app of the time. She had introduced me to camming online under a pseudonym only sending pics of mainly other people to creepy dudes we met at the clubs. Eventually we both migrated to meeting up with these guys at clubs on the nights we would dance or when we wanted to get in and try to make money. Making out, fingering, and fondling in between dancing on bars or on a tiny stage with a dirty pole made us about $250 - $500 split. By the time I hit senior year some of the guys would pay to Facetime me in the shower so I decided to meet up with a few to see what all they wanted. I had a car and time on my hands. Not to mention hating making the pennies I made at my job at a yogurt shop when the Johns started to thin out. 

At this point I had not had penetrative sex with any of my Johns and managed to keep everything above the hood. I had met up with a few guys who wanted to exclusively have me as their sex slave and I wasn’t ready to risk getting a STI or getting pregnant doing things I wasn’t supposed to be doing. I had sweet talked or sucked my way around the P in the V conversations until I fell upon Secret Arrangement. I had seen a mini documentary on sugar babies in college after I had cut things off with my last Houston John, Alex. Alex was an old white man who hated white women. He had a brown bowl cut, a protruding belly, and a hanging bottom lip. But he loved to hear me talk. He thought I was so smart. And that I offered him more than any of his white wives ever did. And he was so old he “couldn’t imagine having sex,” with me. Which was delightful. We’d watch Cowboys games, talk about politics, he'd give me $300 and I’d go home. He was the second best John I’vve ever had. He had set a very high standard for me. And yet I didn’t know that what I was doing was exactly the same as other sugar babies. So once I moved to San Antonio and watched the doc I thought to myself: time to step it up. 

I began watching all types of videos on how to be a sugar baby, how to create a lifestyle that wealthy men wanted to support, and how to make the most while also being a student. I then proceeded to go on my second sex work streak - now as an adult. From 2017 - 2022 I went on hundreds of dates with dudes literally collecting as much money as I could get. I connected with sex workers on Discord and on certain reddit and Twitter pages. As I continued on my journey of being an adult Black woman navigating online and in person sex work I gained more and more sex worker friends who warned me against serial offenders or people who intentionally wanted to blackmail or scam you. They offered me gigs to strip or dance at a private party or club and I’d do the same. We were all in need of money or financial independence and we wanted to help each other achieve that as much as possible. By the end of college most of my friends had an online sex work page, several online cash payment systems, and a small booklet of clients. We didn’t need pimps - we had iCal. We didn’t need to put ourselves in the line of danger with a John first and ask questions later - we would warn each other beforehand. Organizations like SWOP and my own #ChangeRapeCulture helped with building community with trafficking survivors, sex workers, and those seeking to get into the work safely and with mentorship. We were building the future of sex work we wanted to see and be a part of. 

Now abuse and trauma still happen on the job for a lot of us even though we may have been able to find our more chronically online or remote audience. In person sex workers are still out here working hard for their money and relying on one another to stay safe. A quick look at #304 tik tok will show how tight (pun intended) sex work community is and how deep we look out for one another. The community I found through being trafficked that spoke up against non consensual acts, advocated for safe sex, and wanted to appeal to queer sex workers became my family. They helped me through my sexual trauma, my lost queer identity, my complex relationships to men, encouraged me to go to counseling, and helped me leave a FEW nasty relationships. Their love helped me understand why I originally sought out nightlife and followed my friend into seedy nightclubs. 

I wanted the freedom that comes with sexual liberation especially after experiencing sexual trauma. I was chasing the peace within myself that I saw within the gogo dancers of Texas nightlife, the chaos of the bitches up in cages right next to the DJ, and the power of your body in a dark room with a man with money. I felt I was owed the ease they had. The money they had. The wisdom they seemed to have. All of the people I look up to were prostitutes at one point of time in their life - I wanted to see what they were seeing. There is so much that being trafficked took from me. My innocence;, my ability to trust and ask for help; and the dissolution of my immediate family. I would never recommend sex work to someone just looking for a quick buck or needing to get out of town. Many of us turn to sex work for money when we have no other option. However, those negative experiences we all face are the center of our current advocacy. 

Sex worker advocates are fighting to have sex work decriminalized in the United States, incorporate standardized rules for consent, and working to have those being trafficked be free from their captors. I know that I dream of a future where porn, stripping, escorting, and sugar babying will be recognized as work and sex workers are compensated fairly for their work. I want sex workers to be safe and have access to free healthcare. I want sex workers to sponsor their families dreams, helping to grow themselves and their communities, and feeling free enough to explore their and others pleasure centers. I want to have the agency to do as I please with myself to please only myself and those consenting to be with me. Sex workers want to prevent sexual assault - not perpetuate it. Me included. 

Some ways to support sex workers around you would be checking out your local SWOP chapters, supporting local groups like Red Light District, and supporting the sex workers around you. As always you can go to www.changerapeculture.org and look at our resources on our instagram pages that are sex worker specific. We released a reading list of POC sex workers for COVID! {https://changerapeculture.org/media/the-revolution-will-not-be-televised-2/} Follow them! And learn your sex worker rights history! Medium wrote a piece about sex worker’s rights that’s a good starting point. TIME did an article on how pivotal sex workers were to LGBTQIA2S+ rights in the 70s. POZ also did a great article on Black sex worker’s rights! Read up and diversify the perspectives you read from. 

My experience being trafficked informs my politics around men, patriarchy, pedagogy, gender, solidarity, and activism. I’ll never forget it. I’m humbled to have made it out of being trafficked with my life as many Black women in person sex workers do not get the chance to do that. I hope no child is surrounded by the scumbags I met between the ages of 15 - 18 in Houston, Texas. I wish future kids have the space in their life to ask the questions they need to ask about sex, trauma, and abuse with people who care about keeping their childhood and being safe. I hope every Black girl feeling alone and desperate has a place to go with their favorite snacks, enough blankets to last a year, and unlimited data. Children deserve better and need more options for wellness when they have experienced sexual trauma. I want to protect my younger self and warn her about what lies ahead. This seems to be a part of that process. Send a sex worker some money today! Subscribe to my site: ismygirl.com/ChaosEmera and stay tuned.

One of the defining features of Thai massage is its incorporation of stretching techniques. These stretches, inspired by yoga, help to improve flexibility, relieve muscle tension, and enhance joint mobility. The therapist gently guides the recipient into various positions, creating a dynamic and interactive experience that sets Thai massage apart from other forms of bodywork.
