Do you make zines?

Does your zine align with our mission to give marginalised voices a platform?

Would you like people to be able to buy your zine in The Scarlett Letters bookshop?

If the answer is YES YES YES, we want to hear from you!

New paper on the regulation of online sex work! In this publication in Porn Studies, I argue together with @publicpubics that credit card networks and payment processors structure and shape the labour conditions on online adult platforms, harming sex workers. (1/6)

[Rébecca S. Franco @RebeccaS_F]

render sex workers more vulnerable: by reducing their opportunities for stable income, exacerbating health conditions, and increasing their reliance on third parties and undesired forms of work. (5/6)
