Whenever my job is mentioned in newspapers, blogs, or magazines, the same tropes tend to pop up: moral panic, drug abuse, violence. Journalists quote us selectively, so that it sounds as if we’re living out the sex-negative, whorephobic stereotypes the public are used to consuming.

One of the best things about getting on social media as an out sex worker was seeing other queer, gender nonconforming, trans, gay as heck people in this industry.

I love cycling, cooking, watching anime and horror movies, and I play my own music as well! I’m currently very into synthesizers and drum machines and making my own music with analog gear.

Society fashions sex workers as “canaries” by making us the first targets of so many new technologies of surveillance and exclusion.

In my work as an escort, I’m constantly meeting new people and seeing them naked. You might assume that this means I’m totally body-positive, but it hasn’t worked out that way.
