A colleague is gathering funds to support another survivor impacted by this administration. This story is one of dozens exactly like it that have hit my inbox this week, and hundreds more I’ve not yet personally encountered.

TIP BLACK SEX WORKERS

Black Women Strippers on a pole

Hello everyone ⛅️I run this discord server for sex workers. Its ran by Black and Asian trans SWs & we made it as a safe place to find community and advice. All walks of SW welcome 🤗 strippers, FSSWs, or online. Ive been running it for years :0 pls join 💕

Most clients are in the closet about being clients. I think it’s a part of the reason why client “culture” is often so awful. The secret carries weight, carries negative connotations. I encourage clients to share with friends that they see us. Especially if it’s often, a part of your lifestyle.

I don’t want validity I want rights

Amsterdam dancers :

If you’re trying to “save” me from sex work, please save yourself first—from your overwhelming urge to police other women.

Same script, new independent sex worker site targeted. They’re running the exact same plot they used on Backpage and pornhub, even though all these sites are exponentially safer by the actual numbers of abuse than facebook, X, or many many other sites.

Remembering that Inagreed to teach a course on Hip Hop & Sex Work next semester. My therapist is going to tell me about myself when I see her next week… 🤦🏽‍♀️

🐍Happy Year of the Snake 🐍 What are you working on shedding in 2025?

I repeat:

As you read this, consider how global anti-sex work NGO's push their "rescued victims" into the abusive and exploitative fashion industry. www.teenvogue.com/story/in-the...

Illinois dancers :

You think sex work is degrading? Try explaining why your boss called you ‘sweetheart’ during your performance review while denying your raise.

If I had $5 for every bot spam post I've seen on my TL in the past week I'd have enough money to pay for my surgery. Mutual Aid Post Time 💞💸 ♡+↻ #helpfolkslive #helpfolkslive2025 #mutualaid #helpsky #muaid #maboost #signalboost

It's really gross how gleeful some folks are about how they're blocking "all the sex workers that are following them". This bot situation is just another excuse for them to to revel in their hatred.

IGNORE THE BOTS & LIFT UP SEX WORKERS IGNORE THE BOTS & LIFT UP SEX WORKERS IGNORE THE BOTS & LIFT UP SEX WORKERS IGNORE THE BOTS & LIFT UP SEX WORKERS IGNORE THE BOTS & LIFT UP SEX WORKERS IGNORE THE BOTS & LIFT UP SEX WORKERS IGNORE THE BOTS & LIFT UP SEX WORKERS

At the end of the day. Your damnfall will always be your hatred for whores and BIPOC. Black people, sex workers and indigenous people are always the first people to be tested on and we aren’t silent about it. You guys just think that we deserve it and only care when it comes to YOUR doorstep.

just wanna gently remind industry colleagues that it’s never to late to (re) introduce pandemic precautions as we enter a higher transmission season for respiratory infections, and amidst growing concern for h5n1. like kit and vivian said…💞

all the virtual sw homies looking to expand into fssw, all the fssw homies adding virtual services. meet in the middle, dance all night??

It's so funny to me (not ha-ha but funny weird funny) when I remember that the general population's misconception about SWers being okay with 'degrading,' bottom-of-the-barrel work... when literally I don't know any group of laborers who advocate for their working conditions more than SWers.

I remain astounded at how many people think our prison system is effective at deterring crime.

PSA to everyone who isn't a SW: if you're friends with a SW, it's probably a good idea to ask them if they're cool with you following them on their work accounts before you do it. It may be fine and they may be totally cool with it, but you should definitely ask first.

Today is International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers, a time to honour those who have experienced violence or been killed during the year, and to call for the decriminalisation of sex work to protect and fulfil sex workers' human rights. ~ NSWP www.nswp.org/event/intern...

Internation End Violence Against Sex Workers Day Which means recognizing the humanity of all sex workers & ending internalized whorearchy as well.

Sex workers retain the right to consent.

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

December 17th On this day, we remember the names. Those who have not been claimed and those whose bodies were thought disposable. Those we knew and loved and those not made visible to us yet. We remember and honor you #IDEVASW docs.google.com/spreadsheets... docs.google.com/document/u/0...

Chicago dancers :

if you’re a SWer who is currently crowdfunding/seeking mutual aid, please drop your links in the comments. if you’re a SW ally or advocate looking for SWers to support directly today, #D17 International Day to End Violence Against Sexworkers #IDEVASW, repost + support someone below ☂️⬇️

December 17 is a day for mourning sex workers lost to violence and for drawing attention to conditions—like criminalization—that put sex workers at risk. Here are some ways that SW allies can participate & offer support this year reason.com/2024/12/16/7... #D17 #IDEVASW

Amsterdam dancers :

Physical, structural, and state-sanctioned violence is something we want & NEED to see an end to. We have lost too many! ✊❤️☂️🌹 #IDEVASW #D17 #EndViolenceAgainstSexWorkers

Bay Area dancers :

Sex Workers are People Human Business owners/operators Marketers Website Designers and more..... Sex Workers are not An object A commodity A hobby RT4RT

sex workers are one of the most severely underclassed workforces in the world and western “leftists” continue to discredit and patronize us instead of unifying with the civilian proletariat in the fight for labor protections. it is so easy to radicalize us as socialists and yet we are never included

Holy smokes! Tryst just put a Bluesky link on their site ❤️ I think this will encourage more clients to download bsky. Tryst has the SW ad market cornered in the US and this link gives more legitimacy to Bluesky in the eyes of clients. The X to Bluesky switch is happening, people. Give it time.

This month will be so rough for survival sex workers, especially this year. Please pay sex workers.

Please drop your D17 events! We want to signal boost all the ways our community is holding space. #EndViolenceAgainstSexWorkers #D17 #IDEVASW

hostile reminder that golubski intentionally targeted sex workers and drug users before he knew they wouldn't be believed or taken seriously

Cyber Monday means sending $$ to your favorite sex workers via payment apps and wishlists!

this website was made good by perverts and sex workers and if you don't want to see a wide and beautiful variety of posts from those accounts you need to adjust your own moderation settings, curate your timeline better, and possibly join threads instead if that doesn't work

I am reaching new levels of tired.

Sex work is work.
