happy international sex workers rights day! it’s always a good day to remember it’s a global and ongoing movement to decriminalize sex work, to provide mutual aid/resources to sex working communities, and to end stigma towards those in the sex industry.

With each lockdown, we see businesses/lobbying groups begging to be allowed to re-open. E.g., '...many Scottish businesses would be "left feeling deflated"...'
We are not begging. We are so grateful to be shut. Let's talk about why. 1/17 🧵

The wee wander turned into a cycle around Arthur's Seat and then fish and chips from the new Fish place in Marchmont. They also do vegan "tofish" which looked good.
It's now raining again, so I guess that was Scottish summer?

NORMALISE THESE RESPONSES:
It's okay if you find the mask uncomfortable over your mouth or nose, but you can't come into the shop without covering both.
It's okay if wearing a mask makes you feel a little claustrophobic, but you can't come into the shop without wearing one. 1/5

Today we have @JacToTheFuture at the #BeLGBTinvolved group today to discuss "How to be good at sex" discussing sexual health and knowing your own self and body! It's important to learn respect when it comes to safe sex. Knowing to respect others is extremely important. 🤗

It's BECAUSE Amazon is so versatile, so practical, that these actions matter. They are only going to get bigger and bigger. We have to make sure the scale of it doesn't make us forget that people package these.
Jaclyn Kaye retweeted
Today is the international Amazon boycott for their employees to get better treatment. Don't open the site, don't purchase anything! Remember that Amazon has essentially destroyed smaller book retailers, so they are here to stay. Force them to treat their employees well.
