My organizing and advocacy bio | Mi biografía de organización y defensa 📚🤓💼
Amara’s organizing and advocacy biography, written in white text on a dark purple gradient background. The text reads: About Amara Amara is a disabled, mad, neurodivergent, mixed race, l@tinx, poor, queer, non-binary, unapologetically leftist grass roots organizer, activist, facilitator, and artist with lived experience in the $£gg$ tr@d£$, and a survivor of coercion and traff*cking. They possess extensive experience in grass roots advocacy and organizing centering $£ggs w@rk, harm reduction, anti-racism, civil rights, labor, and have worked as a direct service provider within the harm reduction field. They’ve served as a Senior Fellow with Third Wave Fund’s $3ggs W@rk€r Giving Circle in 2022, and a fellow in 2021. They are also an alumni of CEIO’s 2022-23 Seeding Conscious Co-Creation program. Presently, they are actively engaged in grassroots legislative advocacy for people in the $£gg$ trades, as well as grassroots organizing that centers disability justice. Through their work, they seek to embody being a radical ancestor and descendent for generations before and after them, practicing conscious use of power and power sharing, and holding community in ways that radically embody healing justice, gender justice, racial justice, decolonization and anti-oppression.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.

"If you find sex work praiseworthy when it’s queer and anticonformist, but you frown upon it when it’s done for the male gaze, I would like to invite you to examine your feeling as internalised whorephobia. What you praise is not what most sex work is like."

Had a beautiful time at the Survivor’s Art Summit yesterday in Stamford, CT! Hosted by Color Me Marigolds 💕

Baby’s first survivor centered art show!!! 💕
A dark blue linoleum print on tan printmaking paper, featuring a feminine presenting person crouched on the ground with one palm touching the earth, surrounded by swirling energy, almost electricity like. In the background, an ocean is pictures, restless and churning with waves swelling and crashing upon entering the shore. Above is an illuminated moon, with stars surrounding its glow. Black text on a piece of white paper, describing the artist’s work and their professional biography.

I haven't read this yet, but the title sounds cool: "'Let Down the Curtains Around Us': Sex Work in Colonial Cairo, 1882-1952." etheses.lse.ac.uk/486/2/final%...

(1/2) CW: d*ath, police brutality, anti-trans violence, and violence against sex workers: www.latimes.com/california/s.... I have no words. My deepest condolences to Linda Becerra Moran's family, friends, and the folks she knew in LA.
A trans sex worker called 911 to report being kidnapped. LAPD officers shot and killed her
Linda Becerra Moran, 30, had reported being held against her will in a motel room as a possible victim of sex trafficking. Police said they opened fire after she moved toward them with a knife.

Screenshot of a blocked profile on Instagram. The handle is @clark_jd, and the profile name is Jordan Clark. There is bright magenta highlighted text above and below the screenshot that says “some yatzh€£ tried to follow my account earlier this morning. They were blocked, but it goes to show that they’re looking to target activists they can try to identify publicly Screen shot of an Instagram profile picture. On the right is a young white man wearing wide brimmed hat with black sunglasses, a camouflage patterned next gator/mask, and a dark blue and white sports jersey, with his right finger pointing straight to the camera. To his left, is a young, unmasked white man, wearing a U.S. flag print shirt and bandana on his head. This young man also has a slight beard and stubble, and black sunglasses on top of his head. He looks to be screaming or jeering directly at the camera. A screenshot of a pending case look up report for Jordan Clark. 8 violations of protection orders are listed, as well as two charges of assault, two of disorderly conduct, one of criminal trespassing and one of interference with an officer. Below the list is a small paragraph in bright magenta highlight that says “also found these pending cases for a guy of the same name and age of the folks in the profile photo.

Sex work isn’t a meritocracy, and no amount of ‘just market better’ advice is gonna outpace systemic bias, platform bans, and misogyny. Branding matters, client psychology matters, but acting like success is just a formula ignores privilege, desirability politics, and sheer luck.

it's too grim to write down but we just lived through the moment when a sitting u.s. president said in a speech at the dept of justice that he thinks news gathering has to be illegal, as covered by a far right tv network, with an ad for "angel cream" placed next to his head
