BAWS - Bay Area Workers Support

Text that reads: "Starting March 25, 2026, we will remove the option to restrict purchases from third-party sellers for list items. When this change takes effect, gift purchasers will be able to purchase items sold by third-party sellers from your lists and your delivery address will be shared with the seller for fulfillment. This change will provide gift purchasers with access to a wider selection of items when shopping from your lists. Important note: When gifts are purchased from your shared or public lists, Amazon needs to provide your shipping address to sellers and delivery partners to fulfill these orders. During the delivery process, your address may become visible to gift purchasers through delivery updates and tracking information. To help protect your privacy, we recommend using a PO Box or non-residential address for any list you share with public audiences."

Sex workers! Amazon is changing their policy when it comes to sharing gift lists. Your address may be visible to purchasers if you have a public Amazon wishlist.

The image is a stylized event poster with a retro-futuristic, cyberpunk-meets-spring vibe. The central visual is a humanoid profile of a femme fairy-like creature with glossy lips and short hair, wearing over-ear headphones and holding a narcan nasal spray device in their hands. Around them are Windows-style computer elements. Pastel pink flowers are scattered across the computer-grey background. At the very top, the poster reads “Bay Area Workers Support presents…” and a bold, pixelated title reads “Cyber Spring” in chunky black letters. A round BAWS logo with a high-heel silhouette sits to the right of the title, with a magenta pixel-cursor arrow pointing toward it. Near the bottom in bold, blocky type it reads “Virtual Workshops for S3x Workers,” A teal information panel on the lower right lists event details: March 21st and 22nd dates, Zoom for the virtual location, plus 12pm, 2pm, and 4pm times for sessions.

On a computer-grey background, a teal information panel with a border resembling 1990’s Windows-style computer elements sits in the center. Inside the panel, in pixelated black block letters, is information for a workshop series, indicating the titles. The header says “Workshops” and below that a bulleted list reads “-Harm Reduction”, “-Screening”, “-Covid Safety”, “-Digital Security”, “-Safer Sex Practices”, and “-Know Your Rights”
