Fab article by @sapiotextual.bsky.social about @workinggirlspress.bsky.social book I HATE MY JOB: THOTS ON LABOR, SEX WORK, AND CAPITALISM. I DJ'd for the Pittsburgh book launch and got to discuss Betty Davis as a local foremother of erotic labor and how gender, performance, and survival overlap.

My biography on Betty Davis is available for pre-order! This book has been a true labor of love - over 10 years in the making - and I can’t wait for the rest of the world to know the full, complex, and brilliant humanity of the incomprable Betty Davis #BettyDavis feministpress.org/products/978...

Super proud to announce that my partner @daniellemaggio.bsky.social’s forthcoming book about funk goddess Betty Davis, called Game Is Her Middle Name, is now available for pre-order via @feministpress.bsky.social! #BettyDavis #funk #musichistory
