The efforts of sex worker advocates are better invested ...
in making the rich pay their god damn taxes and redistribute their wealth so we don't have to create all these workarounds just to stay housed

"The efforts of sex work advocates are better invested ... in campaigning for new laws that would make it illegal for banks to discriminate against sex workers on the basis of their profession, than in developing an alternative financial system."

Extreme heat threatens emergency contraceptives, pregnancy tests, and even condoms as all are heat-sensitive and lose effectiveness if left exposed. "Last month, the Lilith Fund reported heat damage to about $3,500 worth of pregnancy tests, thermometers, and condoms."

Don't like seeing used needles around your neighborhood? Me either, that's why I clean them up.
I use jewelers tongs to pick them up and a plastic pencil case reinforced with cardboard and duct tape to collect them. When the case is full I chuck it into the bin at my local needle exchange

Starting HRT during a pandemic is such a weird work transition. All of the sudden being thrust into the traditional workforce but still swerking thru 2nd puberty. Going from the highest rates in my career to back where I was years ago.
