I’m so excited to be shortlisted for the PRISM international contest in creative nonfiction. My essay SOUL MATE is about my experience trying to date as an out sex worker. This is for all of us sex workers bc one’s visibility is visibility for us all.

Why Incarcerating 'Drug Dealers' for Selling a Fatal Dose will Always be Problematic Matthew Perry's death is indeed sad, but the way it is being dealt with is keeping us from some crucial conversations around drug use, mental health, & justice.

The overdose death of anyone is awful and sad. But we cannot, as a country, incarcerate our struggles away. Stigmatizing and dehumanizing drug dealers is not going to save people from overdosing. It merely facilitates stigma against people who use drugs. lauralemoon.substack.com/p/why-incarc...

We Don't Need Your Shame Bullshit: The Epstein Survivors' Press Conference So-called allies love to project their shame on us. There is an assumption that to be raped is the worst thing that could happen to a woman. A belief deeply rooted in misogyny. Well, we don't need it

Ive gone off the rails on this one lol! Watching the Epstein survivors’ press conference this morning got me all kinds of fired up in a good way! Wrote about it here 💖🫶🏻l lauralemoon.substack.com/p/we-dont-ne...

Ten Year Sober Anniversary: I'm Not Apologizing for Being the Shit Women aren’t allowed to be proud of themselves. We definitely aren’t supposed to brag. We are supposed to be humble and demure and be fine doing 100% of the work with 0% of the kudos. Well, fuck that.

I have battled with addiction almost my whole life. Ive been to rehabs and gotten sober dozens of times, always relapsing. Been raped in sobriety and im here. Been homeless in sobriety and im here. Celebrating ten years of being here and committed to healing. lauralemoon.substack.com/p/ten-year-s...

This photo is of me when i was homeless staying in a motel 6 doing survival sex work to survive in 2018. I need help, please. If anyone can help me stay safe and out of the streets I would really appreciate it. I dont want to go back to survival sw. gofund.me/11ea9ad8

The World Doesn't Need More Voices of Non-Sex Workers Writing about Sex Work The publishing world loves sex work, they just hate sex workers

Yesterday I saw an ad for an upcoming book about sex work written by a non sex worker. That is a problem for more reasons than you think, and one in particular we don’t talk about. What can be done when this happens?

The Rape in Everyday Interactions with Men Consent is not just about the right to say no, it's about being able to say no safely without threat of harm.

My relationship to my body as a woman has been and is forever changed by my everyday interactions with cishet men. I have done everything to quell my body, to control my body, to de-sexualize my body so that maybe, just maybe, I can not be harassed.

I am not surprised. He is a culture vulture, just picking clean what he can get for himself and it disgusts me that it seems nobody but SW’s care.

Society loves and supports fictional accounts of fictional sex workers created by cis white men who have never done sex work. Society lives for stories about sex work. Just not told by SW’s. We aren’t as qualified as brosky 😎 Sean Baker. We must be too busy with a cock in our mouths or something 🤫😏
