So... today's big question is:
Is this the "exercise will make it better" or the "exercise will make it worse" kind of pain?
It's not often that I haven't a clue, so I guess I'll give it a go and see what happens? 🤷🏼

We are heartbroken to announce that the Sex Workers Alliance Ireland (SWAI) is closing our doors after over 16 years, due to a lack of funding.
Since our foundation in 2009, we have brought an alternative voice to the dominant narrative about sex work in Ireland.

Under the guise of 'speeding the delivery of essential infrastructure', the government is going to basically remove the option of taking judicial reviews.
Very often, this is the only legal route communities have to defend local ecosystems against being destroyed.

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.
