Today in Labor History April 15, 1986: Author Jean Genet died on this day. Genet was a novelists, political activist and petty criminal. His book, The Thief’s Journal (1949), relates his experiences as a young prostitute and thief. That same year, the authorities tried to sentence him to life in prison for his ten convictions. Jean Cocteau, Jean-Paul Sartre and Pablo Picasso successfully petitioned the government on his behalf. In 1968, Genet was censored in the U.S. and expelled from the country after they refused him a visa. But he returned in 1970, upon an invitation by the Black Panthers. He stayed three months, giving lectures and attending the trial of Huey Newton. Later that year, he went to Palestine and visited refugee camps. He supported U.S. political prisoners Angela Davis and George Jackson. He also supported the anti-prison, anti-police brutality work of Michel Foucault, in France.
A handy, quick Clients' Guide on approaching us sex workers💜
A few of these points might appear obvious to some, however they are important to reinerate and communicate! #sexwork
Hello folx! I am once again seeking information for sake of one of my writing projects! This time, I'm looking for info from Sex Workers!
For the next chapter of my erotica serial, I plan on writing a character who is an experienced worker, and I want to make sure I not only write them accurately, but I also properly give a voice to people in this often neglected and/or shamed industry.
I'm specifically looking for input from anyone who has experience with camshows, irl shows, escort work, or any combination of the three. I would like to interview you, ask a few questions about your work, and about how I can accurately and gracefully represent your work in my writing.
If you're interested in helping me, please either reply to this post or shoot me a DM, whichever you're more comfortable with! Boosts are very appreciated so this request can reach as many people as possible.
I hope you all had a wonderful break, or at least a tolerable break. I would like to take this time to ask for feedback and thoughts both from #sexworkers and clients alike, is there anything you'd like to see from me in the new years? I would like to try a broader range of #Techdom and #findom work.
In addition, i do have a discord server, a matrix, and an xmpp, as well as a lemmy and a pixelfed if you want to talk more personally with me or such you are welcome to do so there. I don't bite.. without consent of course. :blobcatcoffee: links can be given here, or they are also on my neocities site! (which i still plan to migrate to a diffrent domain, i will keep ypu all posted on that).
This week I talk to Kaytlin Bailey, host of The Oldest Profession Podcast, about the American Plan, under which tens of thousands of women were detained based on their perceived ability to spread VD, all in the name of protecting American soldiers.
