This girl just won a lifetime achievement award for art. BOOM. I am an out sex worker under my legal name. There have been death threats mailed to my home, to my moms home; I have stood at the White House and introduced myself to Joe Biden’s presidential cabinet as a criminal named Laura LeMoon.

While Gary Ridgway, AKA the Green River Killer, is on deaths door in federal prison, my photography honoring the lives of the victims of the Green River Killer just received its THIRD international award. Their lives matter. Yours doesn’t, Gary.

The overdose death of anyone is awful and sad. But we cannot, as a country, incarcerate our struggles away. Stigmatizing and dehumanizing drug dealers is not going to save people from overdosing. It merely facilitates stigma against people who use drugs. lauralemoon.substack.com/p/why-incarc...
Why Incarcerating 'Drug Dealers' for Selling a Fatal Dose will Always be Problematic
Matthew Perry's death is indeed sad, but the way it is being dealt with is keeping us from some crucial conversations around drug use, mental health, & justice.

We Don't Need Your Shame Bullshit: The Epstein Survivors' Press Conference
So-called allies love to project their shame on us. There is an assumption that to be raped is the worst thing that could happen to a woman. A belief deeply rooted in misogyny. Well, we don't need it

Ten Year Sober Anniversary: I'm Not Apologizing for Being the Shit
Women aren’t allowed to be proud of themselves. We definitely aren’t supposed to brag. We are supposed to be humble and demure and be fine doing 100% of the work with 0% of the kudos. Well, fuck that.

Yesterday I saw an ad for an upcoming book about sex work written by a non sex worker. That is a problem for more reasons than you think, and one in particular we don’t talk about. What can be done when this happens?

My relationship to my body as a woman has been and is forever changed by my everyday interactions with cishet men. I have done everything to quell my body, to control my body, to de-sexualize my body so that maybe, just maybe, I can not be harassed.
