#Prostitution ist eine "sexuelle Dienstleistung"? Das glaubt anscheinend nicht mal der Lobbyverband "Berufsverband #Sexarbeit" selbst & schreibt zu seinem neuen Workshop: (1/6)
"Ein Thema, das man als #Sexworker nie unterschätzen sollte, ist die Kraft eines guten Marketing. Gar nicht so einfach, denn in der #Sexarbeit ist das „Produkt“, das Du an dem Mann oder an die Frau bringen willst, schließlich niemand geringerer als: Du selbst!" (2/6)

Since it's that time of year, here's a selection of some of my favorite articles I wrote in 2022.
My main focus is #HIV. Here, for @pozmagazine, a look at advances in antiretroviral treatment & prospects for a functional cure. 1/

For @aidsmap, a report from #AIDS2022 about a 5th person cured of #HIV after a stem cell transplant. (The 4th such case was reported earlier in the year at #CROI2022/#CROI22). 2/

I did a couple articles on #HIV vaccines, which remain elusive. But mRNA technology is advancing that effort & also showing promise for cancer vaccines. 3/

The myth has even been debunked by antis-trafficking. Law enforcement has reported this as a myth with heavy spin of course -pivoting to “we are looking for missing kids” or “this a daily thing”. And even @polaris_project started backpedaling in 2016 polarisproject.org/blog/2016/02/t…
In their 2016 blog post @Polaris_Project states “This post is part of an ongoing series confronting the myths and misconceptions surrounding human trafficking.” But then of course they doubled down on the “widespread issue” by pointing out it happens 365 days year…

The 40 year + contemporary sex worker rights movement has a history but most will have trouble finding it. So each year on June 2nd #sexworkers everywhere commemorate one of their movement's most vivid revolts and share their whorestories on #InternationalWhoresDay. Enjoy.
Strike headquarters was St Nizier Church in Lyon, a celebrated example of French Gothic architecture visited by thousands of tourists each year. But amongst the Churches many displays there's none that acknowledge its week-long asylum seekers who became global media sensations.
But experienced sex worker activists like Roberta Perkins from the Australian Prostitutes Collective knew about the French strike and, during the 1980's she'd recount to us young whores the story of the strike and other #sexworker protests. These were our "motivational moments".

Dear @HiltonAbuja,

1. Thx for ur statement. Apparently, u have serious difficulty stating clearly even under consumer duress that u don't exclude unaccompanied women. so, I'll try & spell it out to u quite clearly.

2. U are being disingenuous& I'll tell u why.
3. Ur staff have told us this "policy" exists. U want to split hairs & suggest "policy" is something that is written down & approved by the board. I have no way of knowing whether that is so here but u know that we know u have this policy & that it's bn there for a long time.
4. This is what we know from ur own staff: U instituted this thing to ensure u exclude #sexworkers - real or imagined - from ur establishment.

5. To achieve that, u created a presumption that every black woman who comes unaccompanied is a suspected #sexworker.

So, at this time in the 21st century, @HiltonAbuja infantilises hardworking #Nigerian women & smears them at the same time with claims of a "company policy" that precludes women from being served at its establishment unless they are accompanied by a man?!
Yesterday evening, on #HumanRightsDay of all days, my sister, @IerJonathan, goes into a bar on the ground floor of @HiltonAbuja at the end of a long day of travel, settles in to request modest refreshment. She also has business to transact. This is at the Lobby Bar.
So, she calls the attention of a waitress for a menu. The waitress approaches & quietly disqualifies her from service. According to this waitress, "company policy" of @HiltonAbuja precludes her from serving females who are unaccompanied by a man.

Good morning! Will be tweeting as long as I can last at the #DecrimDC hearing! It’s gonna be a long day and if you want to join in spirit & watch the livestream, link here! #sexwork #rightsnotrescue #housingnothandcuffs video.oct.dc.gov/412/jw.html
No matter what happens, today is HISTORIC and the work of @DecrimNowDC made this happen. @HIPSDC @NJNP_DC @SafeSpacesDC and many other groups are immeasurable. It’s truly a win. This moment is a win.
@councilofdc opens w @charlesallen setting an ask for respect and the necessity of this debate. @JackEvansWard2 gives some history on the issue in DC & approaches to prostitution - all rely on policing, inc “creative solutions” which were considered unconstitutionally harsh

When I conceived of what we'd do at the @hashtagopen booth @DykeDayLA, I wanted to show folx just how many choices you have and how many different people are in the #hashtagopen app community. People stopped by for some cold water, swag...1/6 Image
And if they wanted to they could choose hashtag paddles and pose in front of our backdrop. Yes, it was lots of fun, but it was also a really moving experience for me. When people approached the table full of hashtag paddles, some snapped up one or more right away...2/6 Image
...while others went through each and every one methodically. Some folx said "Oh my God! That's me!" when they found one (like #queerandasian #femmebottom #demisexual #hardfemme #homoflexible #latinxpride #QTPOC). 3/6 Image

1. In times when ad venues are drying up, networking is paramount. Pool your resources among a trusted group of friends. #wednesdaywisdom
2. Its tempting to hoard, but being an island can prevent new opportunities. Don't just fake flirt on twitter; invite someone to lunch.
3. Before any1 says, "but there's so much drama," If you see it coming, don't ignore the signs. Quietly bow out. Ur not obligated to anyone.
