She was 17, living in a homeless shelter and trying to save up enough money to get braces. We hear these stories every day. This is what #DMST looks like. #MattGaetz was never charged, but she paid the price.

A 17-year-old with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men. She wants the public to have a fuller understanding of how she was victimized.

grief is a political act. It pushes us to ask hard questions: Why are sex workers still dying at disproportionate rates? Why are Black, Brown, Indigenous, and trans women most targeted? Why do we keep funding raids instead of resources? Each year, we transform grief into action

Every December, we read names. Names from news reports, advocacy networks, and our own community. Some are known, others are “Jane Doe.” All matter. We speak their names to make visible what the world tries to erase. We gather because remembrance is resistance.

#D17 is the reminder that every name read aloud at a vigil represents a life cut short by stigma, criminalization, poverty, and indifference. And yet, even in mourning, we find movement. Grief has always been our catalyst.

My thing with the lady on TikTok calling the churches asking for baby formula is…. Lots of them are saying they have nothing for babies. No formula, no diapers, no baby clothes, nothing and aren’t willing to even buy the stuff to help her……… But yall anti

This is the Appalachian church leader who offered immediately to help the woman on TikTok that was calling churches asking for baby formula. Heritage Hope Church of God has since received over $75,000 to their food pantry. The congregation says he’s been crying all week 😭

“As an artist that's interested in public sculpture, I felt it was really important to do something that represented modern life. I thought that these women were very important to the area historically and I just felt they needed to be recognised.” https://t.co/M6eWRM1w9K

This woman is running her own social experiment. She's in the south calling various churches and asking if they could feed a starving baby. Here's a list of churches that said yes/no. The few that said yes include black churches, a Buddhist temple, and an Islamic center.

When the government shuts down, it’s not just offices that close - it’s the safety nets. Millions of people are sitting in their kitchens, staring at empty cabinets and “temporarily unavailable” messages on benefit portals.

Let’s talk about hunger. Not the metaphorical kind that poets write about, but the real, stomach-gnawing, can’t-sleep kind that’s creeping into more homes every day.

A woman from Kentucky is going viral for calling churches to ask if they can supply formula for her hungry baby. Surprisingly, she received no help from majority-white Christian churches. But you know who did offer help? Mosques, temples, and Black churches.

You disagree with this, you're a bigot, don't mind your own business, need therapy, or should just shut the fuck up. What two or more consenting adults in their own time, is between whoever's involved. Noone else. Idc if it's online only, IRL, or both. Legalize sexwork everywhere
@PurgatoriHorror I completely get where you're coming from honestly. Regardless of what I actually am, or my own personal activities, I don't wanna be shamed for what I do, or the content I used to make pre-transition, and will be making publicly again soon. Sex work IS real + often taxed work.
