Make sure they were doing it safely and ask if they want tech support.
Idk, if you give tech support you would likely see more of your mom than you wanted. Unless they have questions I can answer without looking at their website or whatever.
Perks of the job
Wait for them to get stuck in the washing machine
Doesn’t that only work if you’re her STEPbro?
Not if you’re below the mason Dixon line
Roll Tide
Ask where they’re working so I don’t end up on the same shift
Make sure to avoid it at all costs but support them otherwise.
Go “of course” and be even less happy. Avoid eating from the same plate. Wonder if it could have been avoided if I worked harder.
Why are you eating from the same plate anyway, start being a man buy your own plate. Maybe then you would be happy. Worked harder at what education, reading, empathy? Maybe open your mind and open your heart.
I would just wonder if I could have squeezed in another job or gotten a better one.
I’m fairly sure the answer is no. I got incredibly lucky.
“repressed lemmier”
I would immediately post to as many Lemmy communities as possible asking what other people would do
Then what?
Then if anyone called me out, I would answer them with an aloof response so as not to give up that I’d been found out. For example, I could reply, “Then what?”
Then what?
Then I would continue with the “Dude Where’s my car?”-like references by replying “And then?”

If that’s what they want to do then be cool with it.
If I found out I’d probably not bring it up. If they want to tell me I’m fine to talk about it. As I am self employed as well I might even be able to help them with taxes and whatever. Sex work is all legal here but that of course means taxes haha.
Mother? Be very surprised because she is dead.
Sister? She was a nude dancer when we were younger so maybe be less surprised, but she is pretty conservative now (not politically but in lifestyle) so would still be a surprise. Wouldn’t do anything, it’s her life, right?
Support them because they are independent people with sexual autonomy and sex work is real work. If you having an issue with that, you need therapy.
I would be a LOT more careful about the communities I follow around here, lol. Need some heavy duty eye bleach if I stumble across the wrong thing
Beyond that, it literally affects my life in no way whatsoever. More power to her/them.
keep my mouth shut
I suspect this is what OP was fishing for
“You couldn’t get a job at McDonald’s? Cleaning toilets? At least they’re actual jobs, no shame in it! I guess you don’t believe in God and His expectations of us now? What happened?!”
God is cool with selling daughters into slavery, he doesn’t get to judge sex workers.
How certain are you of the validity of these statements, regardless of where you read them?
Is the Bible not the word of God?
Probably talk to them about online safety and anti doxxing measures.
send a few bucks her way on patreon or koffee or whatever, because she needs it and I can spare the cash.
