Hi Raven @corbeau_1863 . Are you still involved in organising the sex work stream for the Law and Society Conference? I see the call for abstracts has gone out.
There are some responses coming through to the BMJ commentary on decrim bmj.com/content/361/bm… You can make a rapid response here if you want to. I have made one but it hasn't come up yet.

Today I emailed out a version of something & forgot to edit out a note to self that said 'Sex work laws & disinformation-unpacking all the bullshit re Ireland and Scotland and what antis put out there re NZ'. Ooops. I guess it'll be abundantly clear where I'm going with it🤦♀️😅
Thanks to the Sahara cafe staff for keeping it safe - great people. I was VERY happy it wasn’t a wasted trip. Now I’m wondering what treats I can get from the bag misplacer in compensation for this 2am treasure hunt 😆😂
@DrShaneRetiMP Not off to a great start -repealing world-leading smokefree laws -axing the Māori Health Authority -bringing back prescription charges -attacking key determinants of health: workers rights, housing, workplace safety It will cost lives and put more pressure on the health system
#SWEATsummit Panel on corruption in policing of sex work in SA, labour & GBV. What are factors that make sex workers susceptible to police corruption? How has criminalisation impacted sex workers' ability to organise? Where is the call to #decrimsexwork in addressing GBV?
Criminalisation has failed to reduce sex work. It has failed to keep sex workers safe. Criminalisation puts sex workers in danger. Sex workers demand full decriminalisation now. But we need your help to achieve it. 🧵🪡
#DecrimSexWork is not just a local issue; it's a global imperative! At #SWEATsummit (21-22 Nov) we'll be joined by sex workers & sex worker rights activists from across the globe as we fight for a world that respects autonomy &, #endstigma #GlobalSolidarity
It is Transgender Awareness Week! Transgender people are a big part of our community and have always been in the front lines of s3x w0rk3r rights activism. Here is Shaniqua's epic kōrero about when s3x w0rk was decriminilised in 2003.
Today discovered I’m scared of cows, after a big herd of them got feisty about me crossing a paddock on my bike. They were fine with my partner but not me, much to his amusement. I made it across via an alt route but then stepped in a big pile of cow💩 Cows are not my friends😂
So happy for my wonderful husband @DarrenBowes3, who today handed in his PhD. Whatever the outcome, I'm in awe of how you've achieved this despite everything you've faced, whilst being the most amazing dad and husband. Alexander, and we all, are so proud to be your family 💙
3/3 But we went through a lot together & at a formative time. I wish that she had been able to see how perfect she was & that she didn’t need to change 😢 I’m sad that she went through so much pain and I hope that she is now has peace🌻Remembering the good times in Glasgow xx
