Had to supplement her $42,000 per year teacher salary with OF and made nearly $1 million in six months (almost 50 times as her salary) before the school caught wind of it and forced her to resign. Got a new job out of education and was fired five days later when they discovered news articles about her.

Edit: To those basically saying she had it coming because she made her OF account public...

  1. Sex work is real, valid work.
  2. There is nothing wrong with sex work. Sex-shaming is Puritanical horseshit.
  3. "But her students could find her OF!" is a problem their parents should have to solve. It is not her responsibility to use an alias, because of points 1 and 2.
  4. Every other argument criticizing her for her sex work during her non-teaching hours is fucking moot.

I would. I consider the capitalists we're forced to work for under threat of homelessness to be the primary cause of the emboldened cults of willfull ignorance you mentioned.

They've been propagandizing us en masse since Reagan to reject evidence for their profit, stuff like "climate change is a hoax to sell books!" That led to a self-sustaining American proud ignorance they can no longer control.

The MAGA people are the capitalist's Frankenstein. The capitalists are more responsible for them than the poor gullible bastards are for themselves.

And I can't report them, as they own this fucking place and all of us. The MAGAts and freshly emboldened white supremacists are just side effects of Wall Street.
