Official Twitter page for Seattle Strips industry group. Thanks to our members & allies, the dancer safety bill HB 1756 is now LAW in Washington State. ✊🏻
i’m thinking a lot about the clean air in the clubs conversation and i cannot help but come at it from a nightlife worker’s perspective. yes these places center pleasure but they also employ vulnerable ppl. they employ the marginalized. and we deserve to be safe at work.
Telling that girl she could’ve worked at McDonald’s or something instead of doing OF is the dumbest shit ever. People are working 2 & 3 jobs to survive bc the cost of living rn is insane. The economy is shit & y’all know damn well fast food & retail is barely covering bills.
More cops etc. didn’t work in the 70s, 80s or 90s…and it won’t work now. Granted, today we have the tech to turn Aurora into a mass surveillance zone, but that’s a bit dystopian, no?
The only thing that ever made Aurora safer in my lifetime was https://t.co/BR2Ibw59en.
That feeling when Seattle city council won’t listen to the experts, sex workers, voters, or people who live in the neighborhood and just barrel on with their agenda to criminalize being visibly poor…
ive dated several sex workers. from strippers to cam girls. never had a single problem that involved their occupation. all these bad experiences sound like a skill issue to me. yall be safe tho.
Rant warning: Seems like a lot of people want to “clean up” Aurora. Good luck, you think all of your carceral measures weren’t tried in the 70s & 80s?
ONE THING worked: BACKPAGE. And it’s closure? That wasn’t just democrats, it was a BIPARTISAN MISTAKE.
If a dancer was more than 3 minutes late to her shift at the club, we’d get fined hundreds of dollars. Starting fine was $125 and it went up from there. You could be late to a slow shift and leave with a balance in the negatives still owing the house for next time.
Thank you to everyone that has pre-ordered my new book “Da Baddest” available on 10/08! 💜📖 For those that missed it here’s the link: https://t.co/PEOIYptkoB
"The Strippers’ Bill of Rights, which is a first-of-its-kind bill in the whole history of the country, is a powerful landmark in the fight for sex work to be acknowledged as legitimate work."

"'Sex work is work' is a common rallying cry among sex workers’ rights activists that might finally be growing teeth now that the Strippers’ Bill of Rights was signed into law by Gov. Jay Inslee on March 25."
