As Australian wildfires continued to burn out of control last week and millions watched in helpless horror, one sex worker decided she was going to do something about it. Kaylen Ward tweeted to her 100K+ Twitter followers: “I’m sending nudes to every person who donates at least $10 to any one of these fundraisers for the wildfires in Australia.” Within minutes, reported Buzzfeed, “The tweet took off, with more than 40,000 retweets, and Ward’s inbox was soon flooded.” By the end of the day on Saturday, she tweeted that she’d raised $60K, and she’d renamed herself “The Naked Philanthropist” on Twitter.
She ended up hitting an estimated $500k.
Firefighter giving a Koala some water.
An Australian family set about rescuing as many koalas as they could from the wildfires to take to their friend who has a license to take care of native wildlife. They were simply informed to “save as many koalas as they could”.
What a fabulous gesture. Maybe there is a whole new area of giving to be explored, porn for poverty? Would be a rewarding line of work.

The sad thing is...many/most charities and similar type of events won't accept money from anything "porn" related due to the political nature and/or the stereotype. I can thing of 100's of times where some company, porn related, or a strip club etc, would try to donate and be turned down due to the "optics" of the people donating. Its so stupid.
