For international sex worker's rights day I ask you all to please donate to Whose Corner Is It Anyway! This group works so hard in such impossible circumstances to keep sex workers alive and safe and if you pick anyone to send money to I hope you pick them

As usual, your funds allow us a little wiggle room to follow priorities besides those of our funders---to do what grant makers don't care about that much, but our members DO. www.gofundme.com/f/whose-corn...
