Joy is a strategy. My new feature for Pgh City Paper on Pittsburgh’s booming sapphic scene — and why it’s no accident — is out now.🖤 #pittsburgh #sapphic #lgbtqpgh #pghcitypaper www.pghcitypaper.com/news-2/lgbtq...

Great article from @sapiotextual.bsky.social in @pghcitypaper.com this week www.pghcitypaper.com/news-2/lgbtq...

Coffee culture has lost the plot. This is an abomination.

📣 INFO FOR SEX WORKERS INTERESTED IN GETTING INVOLVED Here is a bit more info about how I’m envisioning this will work, and what I’m looking for at the moment ❤️ Your involvement is what will make this work ❤️ #nsfwsky #coop #spicysky #contentcreators #sexworkers #nsfwartists #eroticart

Yo, lots of us should check their website out, they got an open call for submissions from working girls and it looks legit as hell

Thank you @sapiotextual.bsky.social for sending us a physical copy of the City Paper article that came out about I Hate My Job! We love ephemera, and this is going straight in the Working Girls Press archive. 💕

I have a deadline this week. This means that I will most certainly cull my kid’s winter wardrobe. 😬

Ah, what better way to usher in Pride then with a number of steamy duos, soon to be underway with @datesonya.bsky.social. Look out, Indy!

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

Just try to stop us from writing about smut. You'll have to tear our horny content from our cold, dead hands. @davidrotenstein.bsky.social

@sapiotextual.bsky.social I believe in multiple streams of revenue and multiple streams of joy

I have my copy of the book! 💃

Check out all the live music, festivals, drag shows, and other Pittsburgh events to fill your June full of Pride. 🏳️‍🌈

'I Hate My Job' is neither a glossy defense of the sex work industry nor a voyeuristic primer for outsiders. Instead, it gathers essays from eight former and current sex workers...

Stoked to see my @pghcitypaper.com column back in print!

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.

"In Western Pennsylvania, you don’t need a degree in Marxist theory to understand exploitation; working-class analysis is passed down like a family heirloom." I wrote about sex work, class, Pittsburgh grit, and @adrierising.bsky.social's new anthology. www.pghcitypaper.com/columns/pitt...

City Paper’s actual paper is back. This June 2026 issue rings in our new monthly print cadence, but even with fewer papers per year, we still embody that alt-weekly vibe... www.pghcitypaper.com/collections/...

Margo has Money Troubles feels like one of the most realistic depictions of how people get into sex work (particularly online), what’s it’s like to live under stigma, and how sex work changes your life that I’ve seen in mainstream entertainment.

I miss these moments from my running days but have learned to have them elsewhere as well ♥️

📢 MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION 📢 My hiatus begins July 1st and will be INDEFINITE. Lovely suitors, get in touch while you can! Kisses, Mia

One of the great pleasures of being a SWer has been the opportunity to have intimate encounters with such a broad range of people who I wouldn’t have dated for any number of reasons and learning that attraction and sexual compatibility come in many forms.

Hearing civilians at the gym taking vanilla work calls between sets, meanwhile I’m here on the adductor machine planning a hot threesome 🤭

This has been an incredible experience of learning about being a public intimate. A new cohort is coming up—join us!

This week is the final session of our Leadership & Public Intimacy cohort. It's been an extraordinary experience with clergy, advocates, and performers--a few of us being all three! We've deepened our understanding of what we do and who we are. Join us next time! meadville.edu/light/public...

I was in this year’s cohort and it was an amazing experience. I highly recommend it!

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...

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
