Yeah, we can tell the economy is bad when Rupaul has to choose all her songs for the Lip Sync LaLaPaRuza Smackdown.

If you’re reading this because it’s happening to you right now: breathe. Get support from a trusted friend, and remember that their power comes from making you feel isolated. You don’t have to carry it alone.

As a community, we can do two simple things that actually help: 1. Stop making shame a currency. The less we punish people socially for having bodies and sex, the less leverage extortionists have. 2. Take sextortion seriously. Treat it like what it is: coercion and harassment, not gossip content.

If this happens to you (or someone you love): you’re not stupid, you’re not dirty, and you’re not alone. You’re being exploited. There’s a difference between consensual sexual exchange and someone using threats to control you.

• Even if you did everything ‘right,’ you can still be targeted. These people use manipulation, not morality tests. Being careful reduces risk; it doesn’t make you “deserve” anything if it happens.

• Victim-blaming is part of the system. “Why did you send pics?” “Why were you on Grindr?” That’s the same logic that protects abusers: it puts responsibility on the person targeted instead of the person coercing.

• Shame is the engine. The whole script is: “You’ll be humiliated, so pay me / obey me.” That shame is culturally produced—especially around queer intimacy—and predators know it.

• Speed is the tactic. They rush you off-platform (texts/DMs), push for verification, then flip into threats. The point is to keep you reacting, not thinking.

It can start on apps like Grindr, escalate in minutes, and it’s designed to make you panic. A few things that matter: • This isn’t about sex. It’s about control. The scam works by weaponizing the social cost people fear—outness, family judgment, professional consequences, community gossip.

I’m sharing this before anything else because too many people still treat this like “messy app drama” when it’s not: sextortion is coercion. It’s a form of digital violence that uses intimacy and shame as leverage to extract money, silence, access, or compliance.

I also took preventive steps to reduce the likelihood of further distribution and preserved evidence for investigators.

My response: I did not pay. I immediately warned my people publicly on my socials so the threat had less power, and I reported the incident to the FBI (IC3) and locally, including the Sex Crimes Division.

Minutes later he sent me a video he made of explicit images of me, plus screenshots of my Instagram contacts, and then threatened to “ruin” me by sending the images to my friends/family and posting them widely unless I paid $100.

Today (Fri, Jan 16, 2026) I was targeted in a sextortion attempt that started on Grindr. Here’s what happened: I chatted with someone who called himself “Dustin.” We exchanged numbers. He asked for my Instagram “to verify I wasn’t a catfish,” so I shared it.

What’s happening in Venezuela is unacceptable. It’s political terrorism hidden under a fight against narcoterrorism.

Growth has a strange way of clarifying things. Some connections don’t end because there’s no love, but because there’s no longer room to breathe.

Haven't been in bluesky for a while. Let's see how long I last this time. Looking to create new connections. It's been two years of great growth and self discovery: • Now I'm a yoga teacher (slay, queen) • Studying an MA in Cultural Agency • Looking forward to that PhD in whatever • Drinking water

Highlight of my first gay and clothing-optional camp last week in Florida. Atto had fun too, he loved the open space, grass, sun, breeze, cocks and ass.
