Thanks 2 Noa Krawczyk's efforts, abstracts for our poster session for the liberatemethadone.bsky.social 2023 conference were published as an open access supplement in Addiction Science & Clinical Practice. Check out Keri's on why diverted methadone is safer for her. tinyurl.com/methadonepos...

Please join us tonight, 9 PM ET, 3/4/25, for the National Survivors Union sworker call, where special guests @katedadamo.bsky.social + @queenadesuyi.bsky.social explain how the hell the new admin's policies are affecting our communities. meet.goto.com/590384757

Nick Voyles stealing the show & a couple of quotes from me in this Mother Jones piece by @stahlidarity.bsky.social on @national-nsu.bsky.social 's methadone reform work & re-introducing MOTAA in a new Congress. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I don’t mean to be the most egregious of pick-mes, but am I the only one who finds Clairo’s songs boring?

Current/former sworkers & trafficking survivors, join us on 1/21/25, 9 PM ET, tmrrw, for a call where we'll read a story re (CW) a Black trans woman's assaults by the cops& how they radicalized her. For most calls respectful allies are welcome, this call only is sw-only. meet.goto.com/590384757

Ok, c'mon, that "twist" in _Martyr_ is soap opera as well as stultifyingly predictable---in what is otherwise a tasty meal of prose! I knew I shouldn't have read the 2024 best-ofs...

Another great article by my friends at @liberatemethadone.bsky.social on withdrawal experiences among methadone patients. @bethmeyerson.bsky.social @marginalutilite.bsky.social and Dr. David Frank. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39722353/

which is today! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna... (back in twitter days, WCIIA was both local-ish to me and something i had the financial resources to support more regularly. neither of those are true now but i do have a little more reach here, so, i’m asking for your help.)

support a marginalized SWer org today on #IDEVASW 👇🏾

San Francisco’s “sex worker abatement” plan includes the installation of 22 foot surveillance cameras. Each unit, created by LiveView Technologies, purportedly costs between $30,000 and $40,000 a year to operate. missionlocal.org/2024/12/anti...

Something important to remember is that when we talk about protecting sex workers, we don't just mean from sexual predators or serial killers. There are several ways sex workers can experience violence. Here's a few of them:

Today! Donate to Whose Corner today!

Today is the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. It may be the first time I'm spending it alone. The grief has hit hard this year. I'm fed up seeing my friends die, refused healthcare and treated poorly. Please read the quote from a friend. #IDEVASW

How are you uplifting sex workers in your community today? What is your role in the fight for better rights, respect, and resources for people performing erotic labor in the sex trade? ✊❤️☂️🌹🕯️ #IDEVASW #D17 #EndViolenceAgainstSexWorkers

Jenna Torres is doing a reading during the #idevasw webinar today with @njrua.bsky.social (starting in 1.5 hours), sign up here givebutter.com/ivjGxl

Tomorrow is International Day to End Violence Vs. Sex Workers #IDEVSW, & any seasonal giving would be appreciated cuz our crowdfunding's gone bust at Whose Corner Is It Anyway, our org by/for sw who use drugs/experience housing insecurity. www.gofundme.com/f/whose-corn...

Any holiday giving coming our way would be appreciated, particularly with the dire winter our members will be dealing with.

Ah, the piercing wound to my ego to have 5 times as many following than followers as I build up my bluesky presence...

Come join us tomorrow at the @national-nsu.bsky.social sworker call if you'd like to brush up on your facilitation skills! 9 PM ET, meet.goto.com/590384757
