(as you know) I was raised in a borderline cult environment with professionally evangelist parents, homeschooled, limited access to media, taught 6k y/o earth, explicitly expected to be a housewife who homeschooled her own children in the ways of the Lord. 1/
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& #39;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& #39;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& #39;t like it. I eventually quit, and helped found http://www.askhole.io"> http://www.askhole.io 7/
26+ I& #39;ve been nonsexual online, as probably most of you following me have found. I don& #39;t post porn, I post & #39;weird questions& #39; and & #39;sometimes essays.& #39; I& #39;ve found moving out of sex work has increased the amount people take me seriously, which I sort of didn& #39;t expect. 8/
Maybe this is naive, but I& #39;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& #39;t ashamed of it and wasn& #39;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& #39;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/

I suddenly am *afraid* of reputation loss for sex work, which is bizarre because this sensation is new. I& #39;m afraid of being dismissed or taken less seriously. I& #39;m uncomfortable because sex work requires some level of suspension of authenticity that now feels very- 11/
incompatible with the very unfiltered way I am on twitter and my blog. It feels weird to be so open about myself now and also to be making money off my body and an exaggerated sex drive. I don& #39;t really know how to handle this - my confusion is showing up in inconsistent- 12/
pricing and messaging around my Onlyfans content. I don& #39;t know how explicit to be, how dirty to make the talk.
I have faith I& #39;ll figure this out, but right now my experience around the upstanding Aella and the sex-worker Aella is disjointed and really weird. /end.
