Sex Worker Pride Day celebrates sex workers’ self-determination and the achievements of the sex worker rights movement. 
Sex Worker Pride extends to all marginalised by criminalisation, discrimination, and stigma.
#decriminalize #destigmatizesexwork #sexworkerpride

[Sex Workers Project @UJCSexWorkers]

Many people chose sex work as the most viable work option among others because it allows us to dictate hours and create environments that are tailored for our individual needs.

Integral to sex workers’ rights is resisting work that destroys our bodies for corporate profit. 1/

Y’all if the water is high, please DO NOT GET IN THE ATTIC, I REPEAT DO NOT GET IN THE ATTIC…. GET ON THE ROOF…. There is no way out of the attic…..

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

visa & mastercard buckling to evangelical psychos & successfully pressuring onlyfans to limit the sex work on their platforms is awful but expected. caving to that demand when sex work built your platform is a betrayal. everyone loves sex work but dehuminazes the ppl who make it

[The Ishtar Collective @ishtar_vt]

@ZackMoran12 What grinds our gears is that OF stayed with sex workers until they got their own bag, then abandoned SWers as a whole for their financial partners. Classic, and aggravating.

the pandemic was a goldmine for sex workers on OnlyFans, the demand was so high because... what else do you do in quarantine?
now that OF wants to comply with exploitative financial forces, in Oct OF will be banning "sexually explicit content", impacting the lives and incomes >>

[Sex Workers Project @UJCSexWorkers]

We're extremely concerned about this news which, while it doesn't impact creators, indicates a concerning willingness of @OnlyFans, a company that made its fortune off of the backs of sex workers, to bend under the pressure of exploitative financial institutions

Potato harvest is a mixed experience on our first year -
Our crop was absolutely ravaged by beetles. We did our best to fight them off, but our plants were consumed and so the time to dig came early.

[The Ishtar Collective @ishtar_vt]

Food is an intersectional issue across marginalized communities. Sex workers deserve access to nutritious food like anybody else
We deserve the independence and agency necessary to cultivate our own food systems and care for our friends whose body’s can’t cater to farm labor.

[The Ishtar Collective @ishtar_vt]

People ask some times why this garden project is even relevant to the lives of sex workers. There’s a list of reasons we decided to embark on this journey.
We deserve a place in the world to share wholesomeness, growth, and skill sets.
So we went ahead and started a farm.
