Love seeing the lists people put us on. Favorite so far has been "Dorks" because yes, actually, we are. Have you seen the running gag of supposedly having a Star Trek labor meme quota? Come on, we don't work on this magazine because we have friends.
Please god someone be our friend we're getting really tired of hanging out with contributors and editors and @IWWFJU because we all just end up yelling about how much we hate capitalism and our schedules can never line up for this D&D game we've been planning for WEEKS.
Wait but actually would people be down to have a tabletop game with the editor(s) as a Patreon reward 👀
This is also a joke we are unfortunately often too busy 😔. If you're in the #iww you know all too well how difficult it can be sometimes to get quorum for meetings!

The point of "sex work is work" isn't to abolish the industry. It is "the oldest profession" because as long as humans have existed we have wanted companionship. Sex work is a service, they provide an experience. The point is that sex workers are fellow workers 🧵
And all fellow workers deserve a safe and meaningful work environment. The point of "sex work is work" is that the workers know their industry best and know how to make it better. We organize sex workers because there is power in a union, power to create meaningful change
Not just for your workplace but for the industry. All of the SWERF claims can be debunked by pointing to the root of the problem which is classism. Sex workers have always been stigmatized and dehumanized and seen as lower than the lowest classes
So @VortexDoughnuts fired employees for following CDC guidelines and trying to keep their fellow workers and their communities safe. Profits over people, even small businesses.
Yes we are absolutely back on our bullshit naming and shaming companies that don't care about their workers when they try to do the right thing because an injury to one is an injury to all! #iww#1u
