Also people need to stop being weirded out about things.
- Just enjoy someone actually cares about your health and wellbeing to send someone over to massage you.
For real, be nice to Sexworkers!

I'm currently working on additional backgrounds for "Learning the Ropes" and spent the last couple of days experimenting with different colour schemes for the waiting room of the BDSM studio. Let me know which one you like best!

«What are digital rights, and why they matter for sex workers»

At ESWA, we often talk about the digital rights of sx workers. But what does this mean, exactly, and why is it so central to our work? Today, we share with you the full backstory.
Explained by the founder and former director of ESWA Digital Rights Programme Yigit Aydinalp and ESWA Policy Officer on Digital Rights Ana Ornelas.
What are digital rights, and why they matter for sex workers
«Not Your Rescue Project: Migrant sex workers fighting for justice»
👤 Chanelle Gallant 👤 Elene Lam 🗓 2024-11-12 📔 Haymarket Books 🛒 https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2258-not-your-rescue-project 🌐 Website: https://www.notyourrescueprojectbook.com
A landmark abolitionist primer on migration, sex work, policing, and the “anti-trafficking industry”—and a powerful argument about who is really leading the way toward justice: migrant sex workers themselves.
In this impassioned corrective to decades of misguided, carceral approaches to migration and sex work, long-time organizers Chanelle Gallant and Elene Lam deftly expose the harms of criminalization in the name of “anti-trafficking” and lift up migrant sex workers’ organizing in the US, Canada, and elsewhere. In doing so, they make the compelling case that the only effective response to the needs of migrant sex workers must be led by migrants in the sex trade, as they fight for rights, safety, and autonomy.
Gallant and Lam illustrate how this movement is taking aim at the root causes of violence and abuse: the white supremacist securitization of borders, the criminalization of both migration and sex work, the patriarchial devaluation of women’s labor, and forced displacement due to climate disaster, war, and poverty—all fueled by racial capitalism.
An indispensable exploration of the relationship between migration and sex work—and the underlying societal conditions they reflect—Not Your Rescue Project is a thorough indictment of the anti-trafficking industry as an engine of criminalization and state violence, and an instructive account of the emancipatory politics already being practiced by migrant sex workers in their organizing. Throughout, Gallant and Lam place migrant sex workers at the center of struggles against border imperialism, carceral states, and capitalism—dispelling a range of poisonous myths and paving the way for deeper alliances across movements with the shared goal of dismantling and abolishing carceralism in all its forms.

"In impoverished Nepal, where a conservative culture leaves openly transgender people with few legal job options, the impact on aid workers’ lives was particularly crushing. Starving and scared, Lama and around 100 other LGBTQ+ aid workers left jobless by the funding cuts have turned to sex work to survive, walking the streets alongside the very people they once fought so hard to help."

WhatsApp blocks Dutch sex workers, cutting off their income
https://nltimes.nl/2026/07/18/whatsapp-blocks-dutch-sex-workers-cutting-income
WhatsApp blocked the accounts of at least five Dutch sex workers last year, cutting off their primary channel for arranging client appointments, a Pointer investigation found. The blocks also made it harder for support services to provide urgent assistance to sex workers.

«WhatsApp blocks sex workers and social workers in the Netherlands»
What it says on the title, to the surprise of… no one, I'd hope. 😮💨
Insofar as sex workers still need to stay on Meta's 💩 because clients expect it, well, it sucks.
But there should REALLY be a push to get support networks and services away from it.
And with any luck clients may me convinced afterward.
DeltaChat is there. Signal is there. Telegram is there (although this one is not much of an improvement).
There are options, but if everyone just sticks to toxic companies… stories like this will only get more and more common, and worse. :/

RE: https://tech.lgbt/@iamada/116455437413475828
a good time to remind y’all
MAYA ANGELOU ―the poet laureate, 3 time Grammy winner, National Medal of Arts and Presidential Medal of Freedom honoree― once worked as a SEX WORKER; both as labor and management.
there’s a whole generation of BLACK nanas and aunties that had to do what they had to do to care for our families. sex work isn't just the sex. many Black brothels were social, cultural, health centers for our communities.
true allies stand by all sex workers.

I have read fourteen books so far this year, and next up is something a bit different, except that I have read quite a few books about the sex industry in general, but erotic/exotic dancing and striptease specifically
