Total thrill to have @workinggirlspress.bsky.social w/ editor @adrierising.bsky.social & writers @sapiotextual.bsky.social & @loridiletto.bsky.social! What an accomplishment this book is, and congratulations to everyone involved. I was honored & grateful to be trusted with hosting this event!

Positively squealing with excitement over this month’s line-up of events! @adrierising.bsky.social @workinggirlspress.bsky.social @charoshane.bsky.social

TODAY TODAY TODAY! “I Hate My Job Virtual” Launch Party! I hope you RSVPed… 😉

A beautiful day for a ferry ride.

Because, why not? @pjpicklejuice.bsky.social

"The audience knows that when [Jessie] Sage says 'I learned to be a successful escort by first being a wife' that she’s inviting us to laugh with her." An excellent write-up of our @workinggirlspress.bsky.social launch of I Hate My Job! zonamotel.substack.com/p/dispatch-i...

Another amazing night on the books! It was so special to be in Pittsburgh, the birthplace of I Hate My Job and home to both @adrierising.bsky.social and @sapiotextual.bsky.social . Thank you to everyone who came out and made the night magical! More photos coming soon!

Fairly interesting, and when you think about it, makes sense. Draft travelers came in groups with friends/family, not conducive to hiring a lady.

Sex workers are uniquely qualified to talk about the impact of a given event on the demand for our services, and yet are consistently left out of these conversations... @sapiotextual.bsky.social

Interesting that even now, as more people see the problems with censorship, mass surveillance, a police state, and dismantling protections based on race, gender, and sexual orientation, people STILL don't want sex workers at their table. Everything they do to us, they will eventually do to you

the pittsburgh launch is just a week away! hope to see yinz there! events.humanitix.com/rsvp-for-adr...

wrote about femicide, and how men murdering intimate partners is not a mental health issue, and isn't an accident or a tragedy for which no one is to blame. It's a deliberate act of political terror to enforce patriarchy. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/femicide-i...

A text from my mom this morning that's so pithy and profound I had to share: Life is actually pretty perfect if you can endure it.

Pittsburgh sex workers: I'm writing a piece on how the draft is impacting work in the city this weekend. Reach out if you're open to talking to me about how it's impacting your business. (Here or email: [email protected])

First Tour Stop: New York City! Come out to celebrate the release of I Hate My Job at the storied KGB Bar in the East Village. Thursday, April 30th from 7-11! Doors at 7, program starts at 7:30! Merch, raffle, music and more, RVSP for FREE here: www.eventbrite.com/e/1984195048...

I’m feeling proud of my recent photo work. @sapiotextual.bsky.social on #HP5+ film. Shot on #ultron 40mm with #nikonf3

Playing it cool 😎

I was so honored when @sapiotextual.bsky.social asked me if I’d be on her now-archived podcast, “When We’re Not Hustling,” to discuss my writing life. Read more about it, as well as my updated “Who Needs Porn” (about my ol’ fuck buddy Joe) on Substack. substack.com/@swerwrites

Pittsburgh, City Paper is BACK! You thought we were dead and gone, didn’t you? So did I. But to be honest, only very, very briefly. Today, we're thrilled to announce to yinz that Pittsburgh City Paper is coming back, baby! www.pghcitypaper.com/news-2/pitts...

one more

I’m proud of this one. I took it on a 1940s #Graflex Series D that I converted to a modern #Polaroid 600 camera. #Rollei #Heidosmat projection lens. Model: @sapiotextual.bsky.social

some casual shots of Jessie

I’ve been told I never smile in pics, but PJ brought one out in my yesterday at this fun hotel soon 🩷

5 things I like & 5 humans I admire to do the same: 1. Philosophy not authored by dead white men 2. Animal ethics & care 3. Good sex 4. Libraries 5. SW & disability advocacy @sapiotextual.bsky.social Link (across app views 🥺✨) @carriejenkins.net @mrvi.cold-albion.net @stanleyparks.bsky.social

Last week we did a Pittsburgh screening of Sex Work: It’s Just a Job! The seats were full, the crowd was engaged, and there was palpable love in the room ♥️ 📷: Dawn Hartman

hot women should not have to pay taxes, we already contribute enough to society

I am so proud to be a part of Working Girls Press’s latest anthology and I’m fangirling over the talented people who wrote our blurbs! I wrote 4 essays in this collection, and they are certainly the most personal pieces I’ve published. I’m anxiously awaiting the 5/1/26 pub date!

Dropping my son off at school on my way to work and a woman slows down, rolls down her window, and says, “I don’t know who you are, but you’re killing it in that outfit, KILLING IT!” My favorite catcalls come from suburban moms in the drop off line. 😍

Flower of the day. #Flowers #BloomScrolling #DailyFlowers

I just watched the Charlie Sheen doc and for how success he was, it doesn’t seem to me like he spent much on hookers. I bet he was a terrible client.

Life imitates art. Or maybe it’s the other way around.

My physical therapist outed herself as monogamous when she said she just this week discovered Google Calendar.

I can’t imagine wanting a “high level husband.”

Was having knee & back problems so a few months ago I started a pretty intense regime that includes PT, yoga, weight training, and sauna & cold plunge and my body is so tired that my mind is quiet. Honestly, I highly recommend this approach given the current state of the world.

I get very depressed if I think too much about the Epstein shit because personally I believe that survivors deserve more than just the promise of maybe being a pawn in someone else’s political game after publicly retraumatizing themselves

I remember a time when poly used to cause me anxiety and now I’m like, “Wait, it means that I have a Friday night alone in my house to work on my writing, organize my lingerie, and eat ice cream while watching TV my partner doesn’t like?” It is actually amazing. 😍

Dawn Hartman & I made some magic ✨

One of the great things about being shot by your photographer partner is that you get to see how they see you through their eyes ♥️

Fringe and fishnets for the win

a big mistake we made was computers *should* be refrigerator sized and live in special basements, not ride along in everyone's pocket like an evil Jiminy Cricket

On Labor Day, don't forget that sex work is (precarious) work. Show some love to the sex workers who work hard to bring joy and pleasure into your life.

Here’s an interview I did with with @sapiotextual.bsky.social for @buzzfeed.com in 2021 about talking to sex workers online. www.buzzfeed.com/jessiesage/h...

This beautiful article helps me articulate my sexuality... I'm passionate about sex. I love to serve my lover, shower with love & ravish her with pleasure. We show up for each other, being present & make connections, caring for the pleasure & needs of our lovers...

On International Whores' Day, I found out that my 19-year-old son's girlfriend's parents are forbidding her from coming to my house to visit with him because they did a deep dive, found my writing, and think I'm a corrupting force. Sex work stigma impacts every part of my life.

Don’t miss our latest episode with Zalika U. Ibaorimi, PhD! Listen here: nothustling.com/episode/s3-e... or wherever you get your podcasts. 💚 @nohumaninvolved.bsky.social @sapiotextual.bsky.social

A friend is coming over this afternoon and we are body doubling for each other while we do taxes. I’m pretty sure that’s the only way I’ll be able to face it. Send money for pizza and ice cream 😂

🎉 GIVEAWAY! 🎉 When We’re Not Hustling and Hobby Whores are teaming up again for a special collab episode featuring @miawalsch.bsky.social to discuss the art of leatherwork, and to celebrate, we’re giving away a custom leather harness made by Mia!

In S3 E11 of When We’re Not Hustling, Jessie Sage and Dr. Zalika U. Ibaorimi, PhD, explore identity, race, and sex work—discussing humanism, Black femme identity, and the notion of “no humans involved.” 🫀

It’s my 47th birthday today. I’m not mad about it!
