Here we have my second poetry review for the incomparable Rumpus on Aracelis Girmay’s GREEN OF ALL HEADS. The book has led me to sledding down a fast-paced, snowy hill of all her works. If you read one of Girmay’s books you can’t help it. therumpus.net/2026/02/05/y...

Violence in sex work is bc of racism Violence in sex work is bc of sexism Violence in sex work is bc of patriarchy Violence in sex work is bc of poverty Violence in sex work is bc of transphobia Violence in sex work is not bc of any inherent nature of violence in sex work itself.

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...

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.

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.

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. lauralemoon.substack.com/p/the-rape-i...

Yes, they thanked us in their speeches. I’ll be sure to pay my rent with their thank-you’s . To offer the cops their thank-you’s when I get arrested, or beat by a trick. Thank-you’s from Hollywood are really helpful when you’re eating out of a dumpster 😏 lauralemoon.substack.com/p/anora-wins...

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.

To Mikey Madison of the movie Anora, it’s not enough to thank sex workers in your Hollywood award speech and claim to be our ally. Being an ally is where the rubber meets the road. It means losing things; privilege, money, fame, ego. Not gaining.
