Excited to share syllabus on sex work and literature in #c18th vs today I made for Syllabus Project.

It covers memoirs, lists, novels, dialogues, poems, even comics to show how much (and how little) has changed about society’s conceptions of the trade. https://t.co/B1sifTlClV

This is why we fight for the decriminalisation of sex work. When sex work is decriminalised, it will be subject to employment law and sex workers can access the rights, safety and recourse we are due - inc. the power to fight back against bad bosses.

Looks amazing!!!

[Julie Peakman @juliepeakman]

ooHHH! Just received the cover for my new book from #Reaktion Books. Will have to wait til next year for its publication though. But if you are interested in #eighteenthcentury, #history of #women, #prostitution, #gender, #bisexuality, this one is perhaps for you.

Turns out Britney Spears' "Womanizer" video is a great analogue to Eliza Haywood's Fantomina. Just look at how she integrates all the personalities that have been seducing the same womanizing guy near the video's end. The deep #c18th strikes yet again.

"The book’s worst offense is that it’s boring." @CharoShane, this is an excellent book review. I appreciate you reading this hodgepodge so we don't have to.

I'm left wondering: why didn't they publish a slim volume just focused on its stated topic? 🤔 https://t.co/yotENmieA7

And we put together a helpful timeline of what actually has been going on with the lies, the law, and the New York Times.

The government is rolling out an Emergency Alerts system this year. The alerts will appear on phones and make a sound even when phones are on silent.

Having a secret phone can be a lifeline for survivors so we've created a guide on managing alerts: https://t.co/f11KKuSYIb

Got my queer feminist work combo pack to go with _Working It: Sex Workers on the Work of Sex_, ed @beignetparty, pub @PMPressOrg. Now to just clear my calendar to read everything... where to even start with this embarrassment of riches?!?! #sexwork #sexworkiswork

This comes after a 10 year campaign by Ruhama to introduce the Nordic Model to Ireland.

Violence skyrocketed after the law changed https://t.co/vc1VGdA8Qw

Sex workers said this was bad, but the nuns and establishment rich white ladies refused to listen.

This is on y’all.

Rereading the 2007 introduction of The London Jilt; or, The Politick Whore (1683) and it feels a bit... dated. @broadviewpress do you ever do updates on your editions' intros? The state of #c18th sex work narratives scholarship is now MUCH more robust 15+ years later #18thc

Recent PhDs, tomorrow I'm convening a workshop on "What I Wish I Knew"--a collection of experiences and knowledge that can help writers at the start of a dissertation. What should I add to my powerpoint??

[A Pert Sawce-box @sawceboxed]

@LitAndreas #asecsshoes agrees I'd say
