SWAID Collective

Germ of an idea is forming, and apparently I have caught the bundle bug. Would any itch creators be interested in collaborating of a charity bundle for @swaidcollective.bsky.social? Not sure where it would be hosted, given the circumstances, but right now I'd like to gauge interest.

HOW TO HELP THE MARGINALIZED RIGHT NOW - A 🧵

1. Pay sex workers, even if it's pocket change
SW Orgs to donate to:
- @epaunited.bskyverified.social
- @swaidcollective.bsky.social
- @sweraction.bsky.social ($QueerCounseling)
- @[survival sex worker]
[🧵 1/ xxxx ]

A Bum Lung Stalker print "for softness is great and strength is worthless that which has become hard will not triumph," "Be gay do crime" eggshell stickers, and holographic SWAID stickers and pins.

Came back from working out of town to a good mail day courtesy of @citizenio.bsky.social and @swaidcollective.bsky.social.

Got some @swaidcollective.bsky.social stickers and pins and put them on all sorts of stuff...

Sex workers are having an even harder time than usual earning a living w/ the age restrictions being implemented across the internet.

If you have the means tip yr favorite or donate to @swop-usa.bsky.social or @swaidcollective.bsky.social

The only way we get through this is together.

That is all.

Ways to show Sex Worker allyship:

1. Respect SW autonomy & consent

2. Learn about advocacy @sweraction.bsky.social
@swaidcollective.bsky.social

3. Send $ or a wishlist gift. You don't have to get services to support a sw

4. Like, watch, repost, qoute post & leave comments on content to boost

Yessss!! I’ve done a few small scale things but never had that big of an impact lol. During covid, a bunch of SWs got together and formed @swaidcollective.bsky.social too which is still doing lots of good things out there 👏

@swaidcollective.bsky.social is a 100% sex worker run collective that takes all funding and redistributes it directly to community members in need. Please make a donation if you're able: SWAidVegas.org/contribute

Ok well since this is getting reposted, clients can tip me here 🤗
$BookSmartAssistants
Also here is a bunch of threads I did about helpful info for SWers bsky.app/profile/dela...
If you don’t want to tip me you should send money to @swaidcollective.bsky.social

friend wasn't a fan of the pink. I am, so they gave me customizable the collar they won. :) they were very sweet to do that.

however, being me, I have to make this sweet gesture into something ridiculous.

WAH.

If I organized a art-and-craft-athon to benefit SW related charities (like
@swaidcollective.bsky.social) who all would be interested?
Clients could sponsor chunks of time or projects; proceeds could go to the charity & the projects could be auctioned at the end & funds donated.
