Imagine what we could have if we didn’t have #TheNordicModel….
SWs at a Gembloux s*x club will receive full employment rights thanks to a law passed in Dec 2024 that allows SWs to work legally as self employees, and under straightforward employment contracts. Employees are entitled to full access to Belgium’s social security system.
itchio and steam weren’t the start. we told you this would happen when payment processors went after sites like onlyfans and forced them to ban users based on what content they personally thought was “too far.” they always start w something everyone can “agree” w being censored
Reminder that ur selling ur body for labor whether it’s on only fans or in a Dunkin’ Donuts making discount lattes 💅💖
After 14 yrs in sex work, I wrote a queer rom-com about camgirls, porn stars & the chaos of catching feelings mid-collab. Now we’re crowdfunding it into reality! 💖 seedandspark.com/fund/wholesome… Please pledge, follow, and share! 💘
In #Sweden, more than 25 years of subsidised #indoctrination clearly have abolished prostitution and changed the mentality of men.😉 2014: 605 reported sex purchases 2025: 1.100 reported sex purchases sverigesradio.se/artikel/antale…
Beginning now, "When the STATE becomes the TRAFFICKER", a conversation with @HyabYohannes exposing one of the most uncomfortable truths of our time: state trafficking. We'll be live tweeting key points and takeaways so watch this space if you can't attend.
Remember, many of us continue to choose SW because we find it to be *less* degrading & *less* exploitative than other employment options.
there's a lot of things i wont do for money which is why i became a prostitute
"Many cannot or do not want to be identified due to the persisting stigma. A shift is needed. For the first time in Ireland, we need to move towards the radical act of listening to sx workers – not talking down to them, or telling them what they need, but actually listening."
Through the end of the month, if you buy a MTO toy or skirt, a portion of sales will get donated to our organization! Help SWers in need and get a cute toy and/or skirt!! (Link in comments)
Solidarity with our colleagues in Canada as they prepare for a judgment to be delivered in regards to a court case involving sex workers’ drivers:
The Supreme Court of Canada will deliver its decision on Kloubakov v. R. on Thurs. July 24. Here is our thread from last Nov., that explains what is at stake for people who sell sex in Canada and their comrades: 👇
We’ve launched a campaign on Everpress! The booksellers at The People's Letters (formerly The Scarlett Letters) unanimously unionised to fight for our basic rights as employees (fixed contracts & sick pay being our main demands) only to be met with extreme union busting.
Unironically true and should be uncontroversially so
Remember: RUS is entirely volunteer-run & runs 100% on small donations as well as countless donated hours from our members ☂️ Support our community & our work for sx workers’ welfare & rights in Sweden & beyond at redumbrella.se/support_us ✊
In 2023 @ruhamaagency received €1,414,934 of which €41,666 were “donations and legacies”. They only spent €77,808 on “service user programme costs” the rest went on salaries and admin, €93, 934 in rent alone. Find a better charity like @OscarsKidsIE .
People keep treating me like I’m fucking goofy when I talk about payment processors writing terms of services for platforms/media bc if they’re doing it to sex workers they’re gonna be doing it to you. A lot of you think this can’t happen n this won’t happen because you think…
Valve is tightening its guidelines around 'adult only' content to satisfy rules set by Steam's payment processing partners, with dozens of sexually explicit games removed from the platform throughout the week. bit.ly/3GXbra6
Some gorgeous mini sex worker rights signs people made at the launch for Hooker Mentality last night, including several made by lovely members of THORN (trans hookers resistance network).
Can't wait for gamers to find out the laws against sex work is why adult content is being wiped from steam and CoD requires age verification.
🏐 Sex Work & Sport Collide in Style! 💪❤️ What a vibe yesterday at Domboramwari! Four fierce teams, one court, and endless energy 🔥 From Marondera to Mbare to our very own Springs of Life Zimbabwe, it was more than a game — it was unity, pride, and power in motion.
