Realistically, Sex Workers start preparing now for difficult change.
Like an animal fattening up for hibernation through a rough winter...
So too should you be getting the details of your clients off platforms like Twitter, which you could lose overnight. Make your own site. 1/6
Tell people to visit it & get them used to visiting it to reach you, even now. Get involved in your Sex worker rights groups (like @SexWorkHive) as when Twitter goes you’ll mainly reach peers there. Don’t rely on OnlyFans. Build mailing lists to reach people you need for work 2/6
Look into accepting more private income, be sensible with crypto, listen to your guts, & advertise in the more secret places, from Reddit to the dark web but DO NOT compromise on safety: check your clients by @NationalUglyMug & call a buddy with client details before a meet… 3/6
…& confirming you are safe (when you are) afterwards. But most importantly. It might start to feel like you are alone or that you are doing anything wrong rather than the wrong being: how society treats this community. Remember you are not alone other Sex workers love you... 4/6
...& stand by you (to the death) for your Right to be you. #Sexworkiswork even when every bit of social campaigning saying this is scrubbed from archives.
This conflict only makes us stronger & sure we build on the platforms that we have control over. This is still growth. 5/6
Even where Nordic Model infects, it adds to collections of why it’s such a harmful practice, & before & after deathtoll of Sex Workers contributes to one day making future Sex Workers safe. This isn’t giving up, it’s Get Ready, & a reminder us being beaten even is impossible. 6/6
