Trump standing awkardly next to Spain like a kid on a playground next to the cool kids, is the stuff I live for.

My second article for @dewereldmorgen.bsky.social just got published: www.dewereldmorgen.be/artikel/2026...

Veiligheid en transparantie horen geen luxe te zijn in de porno-industrie
In de Belgische porno-industrie blijken veiligheid, transparantie en consent in de praktijk geen vanzelfsprekendheid.

I don't often watch football, but if there's a chance to humiliate the USA, I'm down. Let's gooo! (please don't dissapoint, Belgium).

If you ever thought moving across the world with an old cat was a good idea; let me tell you: it is not.

Het is zo ver. Na acht jaar in Japan en na negen maanden reizen door Z-O-Azië, komen we terug naar België. Iedereen is bij deze gewaarschuwd: houd u klaar!

Hier heb ik dus een probleem mee: er wordt van survivors verwacht dat zij vergeven, compromissen zoeken... zodat de maatschappij zich lekker op haar gemak kan voelen. Neen. Woede gericht naar de persoon die je jarenlang heeft verkracht is niet alleen normaal, maar zelfs gezond.

I recently did an online interview about sex positivity and other topics: vanderwaardart.com/2026/06/hail... , if you're interested to read it. Caution: the interview includes explicit pictures of me (if you want to avoid that).

I think my new niche in porn is to show the reality of what happens during a shoot, on and off-screen. The dynamic, the consent, the laughs, conversations and of course, the sex. I'm still experimenting with exactly what form it is going to take, but it is what I've been working toward for a while.

I finally watched Shiori Ito's 'Black Box Diaries'. I read her book a couple of years ago and have always been in awe with her resilience in the face of what she was up against (and still is). For those that don't know her: she's widely known to set off the start of the #metoo movement in Japan.

I feel like being an angry feminist got a bad rep over the last few years / entire history of humankind. So how about this: the sexy, angry feminist. A video series where I read “Gender Trouble” by Judith Butler, but every chapter I change into a different skimpy outfit to keep the boy's attention.

Half a day in the life of a porn actress: woke up sleepy, had some bread and an energy drink, watched TV, did my dance routine, showered, checked Bluesky, and got ready for my appointment with my psychologist. Didn't wake up horny. Didn't do anything sexual. Sorry to burst that bubble, men.

Everyone on the right keeps telling us 'woke' is destroying the world. Who can give me concrete, real-world examples of the actual damage it's caused?

Even checken of ik mee ben met de laatste outrage in Vlaanderen: Maarten Boudry trekt een simpele nota bij een powerpoint uit z'n verband en haalt daar (zonder enig bewijs) censuur, wokeness en de islam bij als de grote boosdoeners.

Anybody here who watched the show "Our Flag Means Death"? 'Cause if not, you should. If you think a show about pirates in the 18th century couldn't possibily be one of the funniest, heart-warming and most pro-lgbtq+ shows to ever air, you'd be dead wrong.

Belgium was the second country in the world to legalize gay marriage. Two days after the Brussels Pride Parade, the comments sections on Facebook are doing their best to remind us how far we still have to go.

If Trump continues his stupidity in Iran, he might actually managage to speed up the world's dependency on fossil fuels, investments in renewable energy and the collapse of American hegemony. Thank you?

People who pay for porn are usually really respectful. Then there's those who just want to get off without paying, demand your attention and can't understand that me doing this work, doesn't mean I get horny from every penis I see nor understand the chances of them actually ever having sex with me.

I've said in my bio for a while that I'm a survivor. I've not shared why, until now: I was sexually abused as a child and have also been raped. I don't do porn because I'm "damaged", though it is an act of rebellion: my sexuality is my own, I decide what I'm ok with and what not. Not anyone else.

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

If you want an idea of how the world economy is doing thanks to Trump: my income now is 50% less than it was 2 months ago. That's how much disposable income people have. Now, most of the people who pay for Onlyfans are from the western world. So how good do you think the rest of the world is doing?

Can reporters stop using the word deal? It’s an agreement, a settlement, a treaty, an understanding, an MOU etc. Using the word deal is accepting his simple-minded TV game-show framing and contributes to the bogus drama he is trying to create.

A while ago I argued that online sex workers need to be more sincere in the age of AI. The same goes for journalism: the 24h news cycle, the race for clicks, the collapse of revenue, ... slowly hollowed out independent reporting over the years.

Beste @robjetten.bsky.social, nu graag ook eens keer dit soort uitspraken maar dan over de genocide zelf. Of is dat heel complex gezien de handelsbelangen van Nederland en de blinde liefde voor Israël van de VVD?

I sometimes find myself using terminology that could reinforce ideas I reject: that women are naturally the ones being acted upon. That's not what I'm going for. My sexuality moves in all directions: sometimes I want control, sometimes I give it up.

Me and my husband have this thing where, most evenings, we'll smoke some weed together and start talking about trauma. I don't want to advocate weed too much here, but in moderation it can definitely be a tool to reflect on past trauma. At least in my experience.

I'm thinking of starting a podcast. The idea so far: we talk about our travels, our sexual escapades and trauma (okay, we talk a lot about trauma). Would anybody listen to this? It's a work in progress, obviously.

Sometimes I'm caught between having to earn money on the one side, which in some way means catering to a male-gaze, or otherwise explaining over and over the reality of how a consensual relationship (in which you both have clearly communicated what you are okay with) works.

In an age where AI is entrenching more into our lives at every corner, I feel like online sex workers have an opportunity to show that not everything is dictated solely by bots, algorithms, AI and the likes. We need to show that we are not AI slop, show genuineness and are true to ourselves.

The world is burning, genocides are being carried out without repercussions, fascism is on the rise, ... and here I am playing Xenoblade Chronicles on my Switch. I don't want to make excuses for myself, but I also don't want to feel like a shitty human all the time.
