Crying enthusiast | into prison abolition & sex worker rights with Bent Bars, @sexworkhive & @dialtoneproject | she/her

[SWARM @SexWorkHive]

Some MPs want to increase criminalisation via the Nordic Model (client criminalisation), a move which would only increase poverty, stigma and violence. Use this tool to email to your MP and join sex workers’ call for the full decriminalisation of sex work.

Great comment from Reddit about the truth behind the Imane Khelif situation

[yoshimi battles video game addiction @nise_yoshimi]

I don't think I've ever seen a political project this craven, this pathetic, this wretchedly unprincipled and horrible. people with no respect for their own party, yes, but no self-respect either. the absolute dregs of a system that long ago stopped incentivising talent

dozens and dozens of Abu Ghraib type images packed into just a handful of months, a flood of them, with no shame, no denial, no hint of remorse, or even mixed feelings. Somehow they make even the USian pig stormtroopers in Afghanistan and Iraq look humane by comparison

In 2019, @AngelaRayner met @DALLOULALNEDER when she visited his shop.

She told him: "I support Palestine", "Palestine must be free."

Now she just stands there as he's dragged out her meeting after his family were butchered in a Labour-backed onslaught.

[MANPalestineMovement @ManPalestine]

"I LOST MY FAMILY IN GAZA!" A Palestinian who lost his mother, brother & nieces to Israel's bombing in Gaza confronts Angela Raynor & the Labour Party at a Stockport fundraiser.
How can the Labour Party & any party not call for a ceasefire when Israel's genocide has killed 25000 Palestinians

@not_buyingit Hiya - you've used a lot of statistics in this but I can't see citations for any of them!

Are you able to provide links to peer-reviewed articles which demonstrate that for example, "70% of women prostitution suffer Extreme PTSD"?

It's a big claim to make without citations!

[Palestine Solidarity Campaign @PSCupdates]

We all wish for a better world in 2024.For Palestinians this requires a permanent ceasefire and for us all to act to end complicit support for military occupation and apartheid. In January, in our hundreds of thousands, we will bring these demands again to the streets of London.

[Palestine Solidarity Campaign @PSCupdates]

Palestinians in Bethlehem, for whom Christmas is cancelled, deliver a message to the world. Today Israel will continue to rain bombs on Gaza as across the world people exchange messages of peace. Peace can only be built on a foundation of respect for the rights of all.

[Sisters Uncut @SistersUncut]

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE JOINED US TODAY TO SAY “NO CHRISTMAS AS USUAL” IN A GENOCIDE.

SHOPPERS JOINED US & CALLED FOR A CEASEFIRE.

NO ARRESTS WERE MADE.

FREE PALESTINE.

17th December 2023 marks the 20th year of International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. The day began in 2003, when SWOP-USA and Annie Sprinkle gathered members of their community together to mourn the victims of a mass murderer targeting sex workers in Seattle

Happy anniversary to @bindelj who seemed pretty annoyed at my book review of her garbage nonsense. More people have read my article than her crappy book (I checked with the publisher) so join the crowd and read my article here:

[Sex Workers’ Union @swunion_uk]

Do you want to support sex workers, but have no idea what the difference between legalisation and decriminalisation are?

@ukdecrimnow have got you covered! Read through their handy explainer of the different legal frameworks, and join the movement for sex workers’ rights.
