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!

"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

DISPATCH: I Hate My Job Anthology Launch (KGB Bar, New York City)
"This is by whores, for whores." On the importance of Working Girls, a press where sex-worker writers don't have to package themselves as ambassadors.

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

The NFL Draft seemed like a touchdown for Pittsburgh sex workers. Did they "make bank"?

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

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.

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. 😍

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.

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. 😍

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.
