Help Sex Worker Media!

My good friend Eve Minax is a kinky superhero on the front lines of the battle for perversion. She forwarded a call to action yesterday to help a fantastic publishing house stay afloat during a rough time. I feel strongly about Spread magazine and what they are trying to do. I will extend a $50 discount on your next session if you provide a reciept for a donation of at least $25.

If you donate more... who knows what special treats might await you behind the green door.


Here is the scoop:

"Subject: Emergency Message from Clamor Magazine

First, we'd like to thank everyone for the well-wishes and concern you've shared with us following the announcement that Clamor would be ceasing publication.

Today we are writing to ask you to help us protect and sustain Clamor's closest allies:

Just Seeds, Left Turn Magazine, Spread Magazine, Critical Moment, Alternative Press Review, Infoshop.org, Faesthetic, Vegan Freak, and Left Out all use the online infoshop we've built over the last few years.

On Friday December 15, we received word that Sky Bank, one of the banks to which Clamor owes money, froze our bank account and intends to block the transfer of the infoshop to the crew that was going to take it over. This move runs counter to what we (our lawyer included) thought would happen, and it has profound repercussions for the people and projects that were depending on us to continue providing distribution and making regular payments.

The sense of loss we have felt in closing Clamor is completely overshadowed by the knowledge that we have jeopardized these otherwise growing and healthy projects. Without the money Clamor owes them, some of these projects will not survive.

WE NEED YOUR HELP to ensure that these valuable independent media projects do not go down along with Clamor. ( From Betka: For brevity I am just going to link Spread. If you are interested in helping other media outlets listed send me an email and I will forward you the entire list with links, etc.)

----------
$pread Magazine is a quarterly, glossy magazine by and for sex workers and those who support their rights. This current situation may have grave effects on their future ability to continue publishing. Please step up and donate using their link."



Having a resource where articulate, experienced sex workers can display their art, opinions and work experiences is vital for our industry. It educates clients, as well as the public, about the realities of this work and the women who persue it. There is so much misinformation and propaganda put out by the conservatives it's nearly impossible to glean the truth about sex work from main stream media.

Psst,donate what you can... even if it's a dollar.

Pretty please with lube on top?

P.S. That's Minax and a very tipsy Betka in the pic at Stephen Elliot's reading in SF. She has such an amazing smile. That was a fabulous evening. In the photo, we are picking out a cock for our midnight rendevous. If I shared all the naughty trouble two dominatrixes can get into when there are no slaves afoot... you boys might just gnaw through your arm.
