Bookworm, leftie trade unionist, drinking coffee and listening to cool music as I wait to ascend to the great tiki bar in the sky: decrim sex work, free Palestine, autonomy for the Kurds, justice for Australia’s Aborigines, and women’s right to choose!

We had a beautiful #17Dec #IDEVASW gathering today in Amsterdam. Here some 💪 quotes:
"When I say violence, it’s not just the violence inflicted by individuals but also by restrictive regulations, short sighted politicians and inhumane policies that keep pushing sex workers to the edge of society."

Agreed… her work is so expressive
I love 1920s Berlin, so I love these pictures made by Jeanne Mammen (1890–1976) who was a German painter and illustrator of the Weimar period.
She is best known for her depictions of strong, sensual women and Berlin city life.

Which makes the maintenance of an autonomous Rojava in the north east so critically important.
An exiled Syrian activist on fall of Assad regime:
“This is not a football game in which we must support one team against another but is an ongoing tragedy. The main victim is the Syrian people, who’ll continue to pay the price whether at the hands of Assad or the fighters of the Jabhat al-Nusra”
