SEX WORK IS WORK MOTHERFUCKERS. IF SOMEONE CHOOSES TO DO IT, THEN GOOD FOR THEM, IT’S THEIR CHOICE. THEY MIGHT ENJOY IT, THEY MIGHT NOT SOMETIMES, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER JOB.

RESPECT PEOPLE!

First thing first, I have to send my Computer off to get repaired (e.g. the dame screen won’t sit up on its own, etc.) once Dell sends the box this week, and I call FedEx. I won’t have it for 7-10 business days, so I’ll have to fight my little sister for the front computer. On the plus side, she won’t be using my phone anymore. Thank the Gods. Some of her friends can...

Sexuality education is, in many ways, an esteem-building practice. Knowledge of any kind, but especially of one’s own body and its functions, allows individuals to make healthier and more informed decisions. It empowers people to decide what works for their specific set of health needs. As a community organizer for the Sex Workers Outreach Project of New York City, I conduct...
