I want people to understand that the war on sex workers is bipartisan. That we are being targeted and eliminated by “both sides.” That we are regarded as necessary collateral damage by both politicians and communities who think they’re looking out for their own best interests

I want people to understand that the war on sex workers is not going anywhere. It will continue to worsen as sex workers are increasingly left without resources to survive, while anti-sw efforts become increasingly more vague couched in “well intentioned” calls for surveillance

Did you know there’s a long history of powerful activism from deaf folks at Gallaudet? From the 1988 Deaf President Now protests to today, lots of deaf folks have been part of various social mvmts! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaf_Pres…

i really love Macklemore’s Hind’s Hall💯—but let’s not forget it was a Black rapper named Redveil who was the 1st artist to name all children killed in Gaza, call for a ceasefire & say “Free Palestine!” during a live concert

he was 19 & it was nov 12th

It’s our 5th anniversary! Since 2019 we have consistently been doing outreach for street based sex workers in Seattle every week. We offer our unconditional support and supply essential items like condoms, pepper spray, hygiene products and food.

Mass Ave in front of MIT is still shut down by high schoolers!!!

Just like issues of decrim, COVID consciousness or whatever isn't the end all be all. But for example if you don't believe in SW decrim I don't think you're fully committed to poor people's liberation. Similar for organizers who are not grappling with the impact of COVID 🤷🏽‍♀️

It appears that some universities are banning masks of any kind at sites where they are holding their graduation ceremony. This is ableist, exclusionary, and completely unacceptable.

yikes. i know many folks see Crenshaw do this + say “see, intersectionality is liberalism!” but it’s so important to remember that Black queer feminists like the Combahee River Collective brought us the analysis of interlocking systems of oppression before Crenshaw gave us a term

There are no universities left in Gaza since they were all bombed by genocidaires, killing faculty, students, staff. But the presidents still alive have issued this in support of students & faculty in solidarity encampments.

bro what the actual fuck

My husband, Prof. Steve Tamari, is out of the hospital. He will need surgery on his hand, and he is in pain from nine broken ribs. We are asking for time to rest and heal. We will not be taking media interviews at this time. Here is Steve's statement and ways you can support.

Have not lost and cannot lose sight of the fact that the reason so many of us have felt brave enough to protest amidst violent state repression is because the people of Gaza modeled how to resist first

i was just sent a photo from inside the Portland State University library occupation, which heavily expects a raid soon

this aside is something that all researchers should sit with. research doesn't merely explain worlds, it creates them--whether intentionally or not. we can't predict how our work might be co-opted, but we can and should speak out & fight back when it is.

reflecting on #InternationalWorkersDay how much of my current sex work politic i owe to incarcerated sex workers and the activists, organizers, advocates, protestors, family and community members who work tirelessly to stay in contact with them and ensure they have outside lines
