Since history books leave them out I created 6 women who worked by the Thames in Southwark in the 14c: scullery maid, victualler, laundress, alewife, sex worker, huckster. Not outcast-victims! Active poor who made lives. Sat 12 Sept. @ThamesFestivalTrust thamesfestivaltrust.org/what…

A memorial for Gloria Steinem- In 1963, Gloria Steinem put on a fake name, a fake age, and a satin corset, and took a job as a Playboy Bunny at the New York Playboy Club for Show magazine. She was undercover. Her coworkers were not.

Trump’s attack on Iran violates UN rules Canada has agreed to uphold. It contradicts numerous values PM Carney claimed he supported in Davos. Endorsing illegality, violence, & destruction over dialogue and peaceful resolution is not what Canadians were promised, or support.

While working-class Canadians are being told to make sacrifices by PM Carney, his Liberal government is repealing the luxury tax on private jets and yachts. The contrast could not be more glaring: austerity for working people, tax breaks for those at the very top.

I urged all members to reject the removal of the Digital Services Tax. Letting US big tech off the hook means walking away from $7.2B that could fund public services and infrastructure. We should not be abandoning Canadian policy simply because of pressure from Donald Trump.

“Sex work isn't a crime in Brazil when performed voluntarily by adults. Since 2002, prostitution has been recognized as an official occupation by Brazil’s labor ministry, allowing sex workers to access social security and other work benefits.” tdtnews.com/entertainment/ar…

Ahead of International Condom Day, many sex workers are facing critical condom shortages. Condoms are life-saving tools, not luxuries. Without consistent access, sex workers are placed at greater risk of HIV, STIs, and unintended pregnancies. We cannot end HIV while prevention tools remain out of reach. Ensure reliable supply. Prioritize key populations. Protect sex workers’ health and rights. #InternationalCondomDay #SexWorkersRights #EndHIV #HealthForAll

Support for #sexworkerrights is not a fringe position; it is a litmus test. A #feminism that requires arrests to prove its values has lost its way. A feminism that centers autonomy, safety without punishment, and the leadership of those most impacted has not.

Our hearts are with the families, victims, and the entire community after the horrific mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge. We are grateful to first responders and health workers for their brave interventions. Canada mourns with you all.

I wanted to be a lady who stands up in sequins on a horse in the circus. Since when do we measure acceptable vocations by what kids want to be? No kid wants to be a mortgage broker or sell insurance, but we don't eliminate those jobs bc of what kids *think* they'll want some day
Cuando se usa "ninguna niña sueña con ser puta" para atacar al trabajo sexual se obvia una cosa extremadamente evidente que es que los niños no piensan en sexo Ninguna niña sueña con que le coman el coño, no porque sea indigno o malo, sino porque LOS NIÑOS NO PIENSAN EN SEXO

Hello, I've been on record talking about this since FOSTA-SESTA. The Nation, The Daily Dot, EndGadget, and Newsweek covered it or quoted me regarding it. Please do not attempt to erase us when we were the canaries in the coal mine.
