Just because you’re vaccinated doesn’t mean you can go to a nightclub with David Bowie, pick up Ann Magnuson and some random Goth dude together, take them back to your elegant, gloomy penthouse, seduce them, kill them with an ankh that conceals a blade & then drink their blood.

What happened, @nytimes? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation.
To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

Two of the original @lustyladysf marquee signs from the world's first (sex) worker-owned peep show are now on display at @WAHC - Canada's only labour history museum - for their 30th anniversary exhibitions. I donated the Lusty Lady signs on behalf of @swaphamilton.
Solidarity Forever ✊️💕
