Idk why this needs to be repeated, but I will: Do not doxx sex workers. Ever. If you pull that shit, you risk them losing their housing, their income, all of it. Do not do it. Full stop.
This is your not so friendly reminder that the Salvation Army is faith-based and does not deserve a red cent, donate to your local shelter or food bank instead 💅
Sex Workers Giving Circle is a cross-class, multiracial and inter generational giving circle, led by people with personal current or past experience as a sex worker. They distribute money to fund worker-led organizing to empower workers. Donate:
Horrific that Durham University is offering training to students who want to be in hospitality part-time. Restaurant work is degrading, dangerous and exploitative. Uni should have nothing to do with it.

A great thing you can do is make your TL of SWers diverse. Black, brown, fat, disabled, chronically ill sexworkers all deserve a seat at the table and it's fucking exhausting trying to PROVE it. White, able-bodied sexworkers are overrepresented in the SW discourse. Be better.
Providers who have to hide their light this holiday: I love you, I see you and I appreciate you. You are cherished, adored, spoiled and loved. Be good to yourselves. 💞
Clients, this is the only time I will explain this: a baby sexworker is someone who is inexperienced in the field. It is not minor anything, they are adult workers who may be naïve and/or inexperienced. I didn't think it was any of your business but apparently I was wrong 🙄 💅

Lol i find cleaning bathrooms gross but I don't go around telling janitors how gross I find their job because I don't do it and they have human rights already so
Incels WILL NOT visit providers of any gender. I would not be caught dead with a client of that persuasion. Stop offering us up as sacrifices for Respectable People
Telling incels to go visit a sex worker...
I don't know how many times we have to have this conversation. Most incels aren't. Not celibate, and not involuntarily so. They actively hate women, and women sex workers more so.
Who tf are you trying to speak for, bc it sure as hell isn't me. I support all SWers, but especially pregnant sexworkers or sexworking mothers bc they truly do the most. Honestly, you could have just sat there and ate your food. Truly the JK Rowling of SW
WE DO NOT STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH PREGNANT SEX WORKERS.
It is wrong. It is fucked up. That is your child. You had options! You CHOOSE to keep the baby. You don’t keep to doing sex work. That is your fucking kid. Your ONLY responsibility is to protect the child.
OR YOU FAILED🤬

I suspect all of these providers listened to the little voice inside and felt that you would not be a good match. That's what I say when someone is conducting research without telling me:)

A trash person is still a trash person, even if they're defended by another trash person. I don't know why I momentarily thought better of people. People are the worst, but at least I'm not twisting myself into knots trying to find someone to look down on! Good luck with that
Your not-so-friendly reminder that Kamala Harris has a terrible reputation as an AG and as DA, she locked up tons of low-income ppl, sexworkers, and laughed about punishing parents for their kids' truancy. We can pretend that she was progressive, but it's a bald-faced lie. 💖
My mother told me to get a job.
So I did.
My whole family is whorephobic af.
It hurts a lot that they think I don't have my shit together. I may not have it all together, but I can afford to pay rent.
I'm more or less winning rn.
So solidarity to all the SW community. I see you
Hi, sexworkers can also be coerced, also sexworkers don't exist to save "respectable" women, keep your whorephobia and misogyny in the drafts if you don't wanna be the Main Character on Twitter. Thanks for showing your true colours, though. Have the life you deserve:)
One point that might be worth making- Brand is a rich man. If he just wants to have a lot of sex with different women he can hire sex workers and do that.
The thing that screams out at me is the coercion is part of what he gets off on.

's fully factual tweet thread being taken out of context by online only workers>
Let's lighten the mood everyone, let's talk about how everyone who ran as a Democrat for president voted yes on FOSTA/SESTA 💅
Loving the TERF n SWERFs in the quote tweets. Honest question to everyone: you realize that if banks are coming for us now, queer culture and NSFW art will be next? And so on and on, until only the most milquetoast and privileged are left? LISTEN TO SEXWORKERS.

"These three remain, faith, hope and love; and of these, the greatest by far is love." I don't know what book or verse that's from, but that's my favourite.
Since cannabis is legal across Canada, this is a friendly reminder that ppl who are serving their years on low-level drug possession charges should be freed and their records expunged
#Goodnight
#Twitterverse
Roses are red
Violets are blue,
Sexworkers deserve human rights
Just like you!
And if for some reason
That is not ok
I suggest u question
Why u feel that way
Because it might be internalized
Whorephobia or shame
In which case u can
Always unlearn + reframe

THIS. Sex workers are the canary in the coal mine. If they can do it to us, they can and will have it affect civilian women, no matter how holier-than-thou your attitude is. So have fun with that.
@bierkonceagain
@uppittynegress
It breaks me bc they are OH SO CLOSE TO GETTING IT. Also, sexwork predates capitalism by like...millennia but ppl aren't ready for that convo
I feel like this is a good time to remind everybody to pay attention to how sexworkers are treated. We are the canaries in the coal mine. If they can do it to us, they will most assuredly come for you next.

JK, I know Joanne is a POS. It must suuuuuuccckkk bc we're all hella dope.
@andizeisler
There are some ppl who use feminism as a way to disguise bigotry (read: TERF n SWERF) and espouse Victorian purity tests when that is simply not reality anymore and I very much doubt whether it ever was. I don't view them as feminists bc they're not for bodily agency 4 everyone

@thetrudz
As an empath, disabled sexworker with whorephobic Boomer parents who have no idea of the space they take up when I'm with them, this tweet hit. Seriously, it's always considerate to ask if people have the spoons to take on your problems as well as their own.
@wagatwe
@melissapetro
This is what sexworkers have been saying FOREVER. We just want decrim for adults, and the resources to, like, not re-traumatize teens who have already been through so much. But bc ppl in power listen to the religious right, we have precious little chance of that happening.
You can’t plan a future on butterflies and good vibes but you absolutely can plan a future on curating a wholesome life for yourself by falling in love with your own company so that when you find someone you like, it’s your PRACTICAL negotiation or he can go because you’re GOOD!
