Happy Friday!
Welcome to #Cammunity Chatter, an occasional roundup of some of the best and sassiest social media statements that speak.
First, the best: Sydney Leathers speaks realness like no other.
“I knew my college education would come in handy,” I say to myself as I stack textbooks under my laptop to get it the perfect height for webcamming.

Next up, remember that ringworm outbreak that happened in January?
Well, Casey Calvert dealt with it in a smart way. She stopped production, got treatment and feels much better now. Calvert’s matter-of-fact sharing here helps destigmatize parts of the work that just… happen. Speaking plainly like she does certainly puts the issue into perspective.
I had ringworm. I cancelled my scenes, went to the doctor, and took medicine. Seemed to do the trick. https://t.co/R7jiCg9PeM

You’re on notice: Do NOT try to tell Leeyonce what fatphobia means (re @ObeDada’s tweet below).
Fatphobia is the correct term. Fatphobia perpetuates stereotypes about fat people, one of them being that fat people overeat and they eat junk food (KFC bucket). So like I said, this shit has FATPHOBIA all over it. No different word needed. https://t.co/XQLhKVfpyR

A phobia is a fear of something so perhaps let’s try a different word like fatism. Okanye ke we just keep to body shaming.
I am sorry about your experience. I love the way you dress. My little cousin is a big girl who hides because of her size. I have referred her to you. https://t.co/PKv8KaItha— Nomfazwe (@ObeDada) February 8, 2018
For some reason, some people think that photos of certain not-conventionally-sexual body parts — feet, armpits and the like — should be free. Nah. Nope. Stop. Get it, Missy.
Just because your fetish isn’t “inherently sexual” (feet, armpits, etc) does not mean you are entitled to pictures/videos of them for free.

Finally, Jenna Kitten tells it like it is! We are who we are, and Kitten honored who she is with this tweet. Much <3, girl.
I'm not going to pretend that I am separate from my work. I am only me. I have enough mental illnesses as it is, let's not add multiple personality disorder to that list. There's no fake horny me that does porn, & some other version. This is all there is. Deal with it, I have to.
