The video in the article clearly shows sex workers getting put in handcuffs and led away in police cars, yet they still use the grotesque euphemism of "rescue" when this happens.
And many people who now scream about ICE raids accept this as being "normal" when it's anything but.

I honestly don't want to have any conversation that doesn't start from accepting that hex work is morally neutral & that hex workers deserve to live free from incarceration and policing.
Let's also take a minute to acknowledge that we can't even talk about it in our most-used public spaces (here)
I appreciate “morally neutral!” I get an ick seeing pleas for our humanity hinging on the idea that we are all sweet angels, even though I get it and it’s obviously in response to a violent ideology. I’m not goody goody just because I’m precarious, and we don’t need to be because everything you said
Someone @ me when this place becomes a platform for sickos and cyberbullying ideological enemies and not just vote blue / “# poetry community” posting
“sex workers are smart sex workers are kind sex workers are talented sex workers aren’t all mentally ill” starting my own dumb whore brigade to fight for our rights too

who are some younger sex worker poets writing (at least a little bit) in relation to their labor? Every now and then I come across zoomers I haven’t heard of with publishers I haven’t heard of and I want to do pay more attention to what they’re building
You and me both, there may be something in the air!

They can't even tell it like it is and this is the party that is supposed to protect us?!!! The party we're supposed to vote for and support?!
"It is difficult to know what to make of this relentless positivity. Making money is obviously important and can be liberating, but it's hard not to feel sceptical about how empowering the work really is, and doubtful of the wisdom of embarking on it as a career."
Throughout the article she speaks to creator after creator who tell her that while the work is hard, they like it and it offers them opportunities and revenue that other work doesn't.
Her conclusion? This career is a bad idea.
giving myself a screen time limit on google docs so I stop wasting hours obsessing over line breaks
Obviously there are so many exceptions to every rule, but the fact that they’re so refreshingly rare to come across in the works of writers my age—
smolbeanery really has destroyed a generation of writers

After years of (legitimate/health) delays, I received initial proofs with comments from my poetry publisher for the first 2 books of The Daybooks (which is 4 books long). Exciting!!! Maybe they will come out soon. I’ve kind of refocused my energy to other projects so I don’t get impatient.
This is a really fantastic piece!
Thank you!
