#198 - Sex Work and Disability: Navigating through Chronic Illness as a Sex Worker with Clover
This week I am speaking with Clover, a FSSWer who is living with fibromyalgia. Clover opens up about how she got into sex work and how she is able to deal with such a painful, chronic illness. As we all know, sex work can be a very viable choice for those who live with a disability, due to its accessibility and flexibility with scheduling. Clover's disease causes a lot of pain to her so she's had to cancel on clients in the past before. She's advertised her illness on her booking site and because of that, she's felt that clients are more understandable if a last-minute cancelation must occur. In addition to that, Clover attracts many clients who also suffer from disability and shares with us some tips and tricks on how to better accommodate clients with disabilities. https://x.com/cloversquirts https://allmylinks.com/clover For the month February and March, I will be showcasing several small SWer owned and operated businesses in an ad in within these show notes.

#197 - How to Secure an Exclusive Arrangement with Emily Monroe
I've always wanted to do an episode on arrangements. Yes, I am very touchy when it comes to sugar babying and arrangements because I have thoughts on the topic (one day there'll be an episode this, I promise) so when Emily Monroe popped into my feed, I was like, "it's time". Emily is a FSSWer based in NYC and has had a ton of experience when it comes to both semi-exclusive and exclusive arrangements. While it may be the ultimate goal to exclusive, Emily heeds on how this might not be a realistic approach and to prepare yourselves for when it might potentially end. We go into red flags, what to look out for, ensuring that you have days off and time blocks "for you", and more essential things to think about when considering any type of exclusivity.

#195 - Learning About the Largest SW Media Archive in the World with Jelena Vermilion
I'm honoured to bring on Jelena Vermillion onto the show this week. Jelena is an icon in the SWer advocacy space. She is also the founder and holder the largest SWer media archive in the world. You might be curious about what might be contained in the archive or what is SWer media archive. It houses a number of different media mediums such as zines, audio, articles, and more. Jelena shares with us on the podcast her story on how she got the funding for the archive (and it's an incredible story) and why she provides this for the community. Although she gatekeeps the access, she does stress that this is done solely for the protection of our community. Academics, researchers and writers often ask for access to the archive but questions their motivations. We also speak about Jelena's current projects and advocacy work in the episode as well. You can find out more about Jelena and the archive by listening in on the full episode.
