I wanted to repost this post that Artappraiser put up.
In the article, it is mentioned that Mia Khalifa was rooming in a $550 apartment in Miami after becoming world famous.
The porn industry, which was once upon a time seen as empowering by some, completely ripped her off. Despite clearly continuing to distribute her sex tapes, she never got any sort of royalties.
The Bustle article even demonstrates that the pornographers went out of the way to endanger her - putting her up in a hijab when she was in fact raised Catholic.
During a conversation, Artappraiser took note of the fact that everything going on in Ukraine reinforces the need for people to have firearms in order to defend themselves or a community. I retorted by saying that the weapons there are only accessible by militia members, who get them after an application process.
When all of this started, it was asked aloud whether or not this would lead to various Russian allies in the "Global South" keeping their distance. It appears that, at least as far as Cuba is concerned, there is no intention to do so. The country, which has had a tense relationship with the United States for forever, is not about to end the Russian alliance over Ukraine.
