I'm SO proud of this. Give it a listen.

Publishing a Pride piece on June 30th is exactly what someone who came out at 28 would do. substack.com/@aprilwould/...

Cats is just Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Rite of Spring

Oh no

The fascist call to familial and national strength is the same stuff documented by Wilhelm Reich in the 30s. "Sexually awakened women, affirmed and recognised as such, would mean the complete collapse of the authoritarian ideology." So wild to see them lay it out so directly.

Whenever I go to read a "dark romance" and it's like "I'm in love with a serial killer, but it's ok because he only kills child molesters / wifebeaters / other serial killers," I can't help but think the author is a coward.

Today is International Sex Workers Day. You may know me as a physician. But I am also a sex worker. It started when I was 20, when I became an escort to support myself through university. That led me into adult film work, which eventually led me to become a dominatrix.

This International Whores’ Day, we’re launching FSC Speak Out, a new campaign from FSC and @EPAUnited centering the voices of adult creators. In our first video, performers share how the industry has provided independence, agency, and opportunity. #FSCSpeakOut #IWD

Men of the world, what's wrong with your cufflinks?

New on Substack. I've been job hunting, can't you tell? open.substack.com/pub/aprilwou...

It’s normal for a woman to stage an entire photo shoot around her “look what I was bought for” engagement ring, but I post a picture in my day collar and it’s TMI, apparently.

A fun little love story I wrote that is also 1,000% horror. substack.com/@aprilwould/...

I have published a new piece of horror fiction. Enjoy...if you dare! open.substack.com/pub/aprilwou...

I had no idea until this season of Euphoria how many of my friends knew I did giantess porn.

“If aren’t allowed to violate every copyright in existence we won’t have a product!” Cool, I guess you don’t have a product. Get bent.

Posting this because I’m editing and it’s the law, but in truth, this audio is going so well and I’m so pleased with it, I paused to sing along to Opalite here in the diner where I’m working.

People ask why we prefer Bluesky. Because we're less likely to encounter BS like this:

Rex Heuermann, 62, pleaded guilty to murdering seven women and admitted that he intentionally caused the death of Karen Bragata and left her remains. Heuermann is expected to receive a sentence of life in prison without parole #GilgoBeach #D17 www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

On the phone (not for work) with a potentially new doctor, he said to me, "I just have to say, [April]. You have a wonderful voice and hearing it really brightened my day." Probably inappropriate, but hey

The reason Moby Dick is the most American novel ever written is because it is about a violent white man enacting a confusing revenge fantasy against a cheap source of oil.

We love going on podcasts. But if your topic of debate is "should sex workers be forced to be a buffer class between violent misogynists who want sex and respectable women who don't deserev abuse"? Hard pass. Sex workers do not exist to be targets for violence.

A former caller of mine was a cop and he told me a friend of his on the force used to pull over women to ask them out all the time. I assume this is rampant and ”inappropriate” doesn’t cover it.

where’s the bachelorette season that ends with a gangbang?

It finally happened. Somebody asked me to make an audio where I talk like André Gregory.

Again. They can‘t even define it and they’re trying to ban it. This is purposeful.

This was definitely a good idea to write. aprilwould.substack.com/p/men-are-th...

On International Sex Workers' Rights Day we reiterate the importance of decriminalisation of sex work. Sex work is work! And there is still much more to do before it is recognised as such in Australia. Read our decriminalisation briefing paper scarletalliance.org.au/wp-content/u...

"What they’re selling is not purity culture with a coat of blush. It’s something more sophisticated and more dangerous as a political instrument: that the progressive sexual revolution failed women, and that the answer is hot, intentional, husband-focused sex inside a traditional marriage."

2/26/26 is terribly satisfying.

this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.

Sex workers are FIGHTING for basic labor rights!

How to write about something while you’re still living it (a eulogy for my former blog) open.substack.com/pub/aprilwou...

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

I’d love to see journalism exploring the mass deletion of SWs off X in conjunction with the rise of grok’s porn bots. There’s a certain tech bro fantasy of AI as a tool of economic deprivation against SWs. The deep resentment at the financial independence of online SW seems to have come to a head.

This is long but I got to unpack a lot. Especially why I can’t clean and take calls at the same time. open.substack.com/pub/aprilwou...

Same.

Just because good news is worth celebrating: There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection. HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

who called it Heated Rivalry and not Fuck Ice

the problematic age gap between my oldest wip and the wip i just started......

With the success of Heated Rivalry, I keep hoping this means Narrow Rooms is next.

I do intense CNC and ageplay! As a top and as a bottom. That's not an endorsement of real-world harms caused by abusive families or a gesture of support for sexual assault. Someone wearing a pup hood doesn't mean they want to fuck real life dogs. It's just not a productive way to approach fantasy!

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

I hate to say it, but Harry Crane probably should have been a partner.

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

Every Democratic member of Congress should be on a plane to Minneapolis right now to join the people protesting in the streets. Federal elected officials should physically place themselves between the public and these dangerous thugs sent to terrorize this American city.

It seems clear Alex Pretti, a healthcare worker, was murdered for engaging in the exact kind of community care we hope all care workers to embody: the kind that doesn’t stop at the threshold of the hospital, the clinic, but that aims to care for and support the community where and how they can
