I’m writing this as free therapy for myself…because if I don’t laugh…I will cry.
This piece is inspired by me being banned on Facebook for…wait for it…
ADULT SEXUAL EXPLOITATION.
If you know me, you will understand how hilarious this is.
And Meta haven’t even bothered giving me any examples of my transgressions.
So yeah, it wasn’t the best way to start my day.
But I have been so buoyed by having LOTS of new followers on my Substack today that even at my lowest point - I could still find the humour in the absurdity of the situation.
So this is my article titled: ONLY FANS
The closest I’ve come to Adult Sexual Exploitation is when I contemplated starting an Only Fans account. Rent is insanely high here in Brunswick and I had to get creative with making sure my bank account had enough money in it every month.
Me being me, thought it would be a great idea to start taking photos of myself with discarded fans that dot the streets.
First one was a throuple. I couldn’t believe my luck.
Then a more conservative couple.
I even shared some moody bedroom scenes.
And some edgy Brunswick vibes.
Honey could see that I wasn’t very successful and decided to help.
And really took her role quite seriously.
Even the magnetic monkeys tried to help. And when that didn’t work…I thought I could share some of the fans from Cambodia.
This is from the time I was melting while meeting with the weavers and this wonderful woman risked her life to get the fan working for me.]
And speaking of risking ones life…here is the young man who we paid to make a home secure after the father passed away and the teenage daughters were scared of intruders.
I thought that was the last of my fan content…
But then I searched my phone and found this winner.
This is from when I got stopped at Melbourne airport and taken in for questioning and nearly missed my flight because I brought handcuffs to go with my ICC judge outfit. The cops were VERY confused. It was too confusing to explain that Herzog was coming to visit so I said I had a dirty weekend planned for Valentine’s Day.
So yeah…as you can see I failed miserably at my Only Fans account.
Hopefully I’m better suited for finding supporters for my Substack :)
OMG, Veronica - it’s so exhausting. I can’t imagine how you maintain the energy, empathy kindness and focus to keep going. And keep going with generosity and humour no less. You are clearly making a difference, though, or you wouldn’t be targeted like this. You’ve definitely made a difference to me - I have the facts and the language to help the fight now 😊🇵🇸
Getting around these dumb algorithms with some wit and humour is not everyone's cup of tea. Only some hardcore fans can see that....
