Happy International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers ☂️

Historically, NSFW creators and SWs are always the foundational users of any new social site, and historically, they're the first ones to get hidden/forced off once corporations start sniffin' around looking to make money. Use your dang moderation settings if NSFW bothers you and let folks be

On Mondays we celebrate music! Here's a cute "Workspace" playlist to carry you through tasks, errands, stretching, meditation, admin work, editing, writing, research, etc... #MusicMonday

🗣️ Rollercoasters were created to keep people out of BROTHELS 🎶 (hilarious history lesson from Noni Solfeggio)

Playlists currently being created on Spotify. Can't wait to share soon!

Are y'all following @heauxhistory.bsky.social yet for all the cool tidbits they're posting?! All the stripper and fssw history galore!!!!

Burlesque queen Lottie "The Body" Graves aka the "Black Gypsy Rose Lee" aka "Gypsy Rose Lee of Detroit"

1950s Burlesque star Miss Topsy

In the 1950s strip clubs grow in popularity. Originally advertised to middle class and working class men, patrons were able to enjoy strip tease performances in “private” quarters, meals, alcoholic beverages, pornography, and an environment where “men could be men”

On exotic dance history in the U.S., performance spaces, the art of strip tease, and segue from early burlesque shows to strip clubs

Seeing that there is some confusion over here about what sex workers want. WE WANT DECRIMINALIZATION not Legalization.

When you use the term(s) or phrase(s): “crib”, “the crib”, “at the crib” and so on, we want you to remember Black and Brown sex workers who worked “cribs”/“crib houses” back in the day

A little late to the party but here
