“Labor & Art” in Homestead, Pennsylvania | LAWCHA
I am a historian who studied with David Montgomery at the University of Pittsburgh in the mid-1970s, a tumultuous time in labor and working-class history.

I honestly don't want to have any conversation that doesn't start from accepting that hex work is morally neutral & that hex workers deserve to live free from incarceration and policing.
Let's also take a minute to acknowledge that we can't even talk about it in our most-used public spaces (here)

who are some younger sex worker poets writing (at least a little bit) in relation to their labor? Every now and then I come across zoomers I haven’t heard of with publishers I haven’t heard of and I want to do pay more attention to what they’re building

They can't even tell it like it is and this is the party that is supposed to protect us?!!! The party we're supposed to vote for and support?!
This week, our country was shaken by yet another act of horrific political violence. Charlie Kirk, a young activist, husband, and father of two, has tragically left behind his family and children. This violence must end, and we must stand together in condemning it.

Throughout the article she speaks to creator after creator who tell her that while the work is hard, they like it and it offers them opportunities and revenue that other work doesn't.
Her conclusion? This career is a bad idea.

After years of (legitimate/health) delays, I received initial proofs with comments from my poetry publisher for the first 2 books of The Daybooks (which is 4 books long). Exciting!!! Maybe they will come out soon. I’ve kind of refocused my energy to other projects so I don’t get impatient.

‘The usual pattern is, if she's a prostitute, she gets very angry very quickly,’ he said. ‘She'll either yell at us or walk away.’”
