Hey! I’ve had to start a new insta all over again @angelajwriter and I’d appreciate the follows there, if you’re so inclined! Thank you 🙏🏽❤️

ICE is the gestapo and this is full blown fascism. Period. Resist! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Did this duche Brandon on #SneakyLinks on #Netfix just say “just the tip?” Me waiting for the host or relationship “expert” to loudly denounce sexual coercion…..

The Swedish Parliament @sveriges_riksdag @gudrunnordnorg @themartinmelin @sanna_backeskog has voted to expand the criminalization of sex work to include sexual acts performed remotely. This is harmful policy that willfully ignores the voices of sex workers. 1/3

So, #academicbluesky, do you have to do annual faculty reports? I’ve always had to and when I was a department chair I also did one for the department. I feel like I won the academic lotto because the university I moved to doesn’t do them—just a goals meeting with chair at the start of the year.

Look, it fixed it! 🤬

Overall, I loved #FXs #DyingforSex, but I do take issue with the queer sexual savior trope that drives part of the story. Still, the prioritizing of platonic love and friendship over romantic love was refreshing in a culture obessesed w/romantic relationships. sexchronicle.com/the-blog/f/f...

New Content Alert: #FX #DyingForSex: I Came for Sex, and Stayed for Friendship is up on The Sex Chronicle. Overall, I loved it but do raise issue with the use of queer sexual savior tropes. sexchronicle.com/the-blog/f/f...

This exciting resolution from Rutgers University Senate is exactly the kind of model I think higher ed needs: a mutual defense pact of, in this case, Big 10 schools. They call for member institutions to create a joint defense fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack.

Oooooo, I’ve never used this phrase as intended, but what we just saw was fucking presidential 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The last episode of #TheResidence is giving Clue and I’m so frigging here for it! Uzo Aduba is so fantastic! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Finally just saw No Other Land. Upon entering the row behind me, a woman says to the man she’s with: I’m nervous. Do you think we’ll get arrested for being here? Welcome to Trump’s America!

You can accidentally add me to Obama, Clinton, Biden, and Harris group chat right now. Please, and thank you!

For a general strike, we’d need at least 3.5% of the population—be one of the 11 million people needed to set a date! generalstrikeus.com/strikecard

I stand with Steven and you should too! Support his legal defense fund. Info below! This is more than just an offense to academic freedom—as if that wasn’t enough—this is suppression of freedom of speech and political oppression!

It takes a motion picture winning Oscars for the mainstream media to be saturated with content about sex workers—and the frightening irony is that the bulk of that content is telling the wrong damn story! #Anora #MikeyMadison #Oscars #SexWork #SexWorkIsWork sexchronicle.com/the-blog/f/a...

Baker: “I want to thank the sex worker community. My deepest respect. I share this with you.” The (anti-sex work) Times: “…best original screenplay for ‘Anora’ about a prostitute who marries a Russian boy.” 🤬

Illinois legislators Will Guzzardi and State Senator Celina Villanueva introduced HB3518, the Keeping Sex Workers Safe Act. Decriminalizing sex work contributes to harm reduction, positive public health outcomes, and advances labor rights. #sexworkiswork #decrimnow sexchronicle.com/the-blog/f/s...

Compulsory orgasmic cultures make people so obsessed with a destination that they often miss the joys of the journey. #sex #orgasm #orgasms #orgasmgap #heteropatriarchy sexchronicle.com/the-blog/f/r...

I’m giving a keynote at the Institut National des Études Démographiques in Paris! I’ll be talking about my research with transmasculine and non-binary sex workers. I’m also excited to talk to graduate students in a workshop about continuing to doing our work even in violently anti-trans contexts.

Lamya H’s Hijab Butch Blues is fantastic! 🔥🔥🔥

"When big financial companies block payments to a platform like PornHub, they ignite a war on sex in digital space. They actively say that if you are a sex worker, then you are not allowed to participate in the virtual economy. This is violence, plain and simple."

Rest in power, Marcus. This is terrible. He was so brilliant and I can’t help but wonder all the ways this was preventable in a different, better, and more fundamentally just world. www.beaconjournal.com/story/news/l...

I love this piece by @loreleilee.bsky.social more and more every time I read it. I’m looking forward to discussing all the nuance and messiness of consent, coercion, and circumstances in work with my generous and curious students tomorrow. If you haven’t, read it! www.nplusonemag.com/issue-35/ess...

This is why it's important to follow up on stories and read more than just headlines. A sex trafficking sting in California resulted in 547 arrests. But only 1 person has been charged with trafficking. reason.com/2025/02/05/h...

Why the fuck won’t lawmakers listen to sex workers and read any social science ?!?! It’s almost like they are intentionally doubling down on policies that harm sex workers! 🙄🤬

Shout out to the Belgian Union of Sex Workers!!! We needed some good news! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thankful! Not a terrible way to be snowed in and writing. 🔥❄️✍️📖

Academic book publishing is a fucking scam. Between the social labor time and having to pay for your own indexing, people are generally never even made whole. No, thanks. Wrapping my last one, and now I’ve moved trade and never I’m going back. Deuces!
