It finally happened. Somebody asked me to make an audio where I talk like André Gregory.
Again. They can‘t even define it and they’re trying to ban it. This is purposeful.
This was definitely a good idea to write.

Sex work is work
Today is International Sex Workers’ Rights Day Sex work is work, and sex workers deserve respect, equality, and the same rights and protections as all workers. On 3 March 2001, over 25,000 sex workers in India gathered for the Kolkata Sex Worker Freedom Festival to advocate for sex worker rights, including safety at work. Prohibitionist groups tried to prevent the festival from taking place by pressuring the government to revoke the group’s permit, but were unsuccessful. Since then, 3 March has become an important date to promote sex worker rights, highlighting the need for sex work to be recognised as legitimate work and for sex workers to be protected under the law. Recognising sex work as work is a vital step towards fighting for decriminalisation, anti-discrimination protections and labour rights.
Did you know that in some parts of unceded Australia, sex work and sex workers are still criminalised? The fight for sex work to be recognised as real work in Australia is far from over. Until all sex workers are free from discrimination, stigma and criminalisation, none of us are truly free.
But I thought sex work was “legal” in Australia? Decriminalisation removes laws and penalties criminalising all aspects of sex work between consenting adults. Sex work is then covered under existing health and safety laws. Legalisation involves laws and regulations permitting sex work under certain conditions, while all other sex work remains criminalised. Under legalisation, governments impose special regulations just for the sex industry. Sex work is partially criminalised in WA Full criminalisation in SA
On International Sex Workers' Rights Day we reiterate the importance of decriminalisation of sex work. Sex work is work! And there is still much more to do before it is recognised as such in Australia.
Read our decriminalisation briefing paper scarletalliance.org.au/wp-content/u...
"What they’re selling is not purity culture with a coat of blush. It’s something more sophisticated and more dangerous as a political instrument: that the progressive sexual revolution failed women, and that the answer is hot, intentional, husband-focused sex inside a traditional marriage."
2/26/26 is terribly satisfying.
this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.
Sex workers are FIGHTING for basic labor rights!
How to write about something while you’re still living it

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
yesssss
I’d love to see journalism exploring the mass deletion of SWs off X in conjunction with the rise of grok’s porn bots. There’s a certain tech bro fantasy of AI as a tool of economic deprivation against SWs. The deep resentment at the financial independence of online SW seems to have come to a head.
This is long but I got to unpack a lot. Especially why I can’t clean and take calls at the same time.

Same.
Just because good news is worth celebrating:
There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.
HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.
who called it Heated Rivalry and not Fuck Ice
the problematic age gap between my oldest wip and the wip i just started......
With the success of Heated Rivalry, I keep hoping this means Narrow Rooms is next.
The problem with the terms SWERF and TERF is that they really aren't feminists. They do not believe in equality for all women.
I do intense CNC and ageplay! As a top and as a bottom. That's not an endorsement of real-world harms caused by abusive families or a gesture of support for sexual assault. Someone wearing a pup hood doesn't mean they want to fuck real life dogs. It's just not a productive way to approach fantasy!
pixel art illustration by Zoë Treez - 2026 title font that reads “Fuck Ice” a cool toned, cloaked knight is surrounded by bold red flames. their hand that holds their sword has their middle finger extended out, again to express the sentiment of Fuck Ice! The corners at the top are framed with small spiked flails

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent
I hate to say it, but Harry Crane probably should have been a partner.
Congress passed the “white slavery act” of 1910 during the highest period of lynchings in US history while refusing to pass any of numerous anti-lynching bills (Prof. Barbara Holden-Smith), and importantly, these facts are connected. The praxis of “saving” white women from SW was lynching
Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"
Every Democratic member of Congress should be on a plane to Minneapolis right now to join the people protesting in the streets. Federal elected officials should physically place themselves between the public and these dangerous thugs sent to terrorize this American city.
It seems clear Alex Pretti, a healthcare worker, was murdered for engaging in the exact kind of community care we hope all care workers to embody: the kind that doesn’t stop at the threshold of the hospital, the clinic, but that aims to care for and support the community where and how they can
We're in the final month of this fundraiser and desperately need more donations! Please donate, please share! This is a terrifying and horrible situation that's unfortunately not uncommon. Trans people deserve families! People who do sex work or have done sex work in the past deserve families!
We have no business hosting anything while this shit is going on.
