8/23/20 why American liberals shouldn't leverage sex paranoia and scandal

Here is the link to my August 23, 2020, Twitter thread about why the history of sex paranoia continues to prove that when liberals use sex paranoia for their own purposes, it does not help them -- or the people they're claiming to serve -- in any way at all.

This is one of my favorite threads that I've ever written.

9/7/19 discussion about sex work and age of consent laws

Here is the link to my September 7, 2019, Twitter thread discussion -- essentially about how I felt sex work theorists and activists were ignoring the role age of consent laws have played in the history of sex work laws.

This thread is horribly written. And, honestly, I'm not a fan of my opinion pieces, the threads that are all opinion, with no new research. However I wanted to include this thread in this table of contents because I definitely still believe a lot of what I'm saying here.

There are some sex worker rights groups who include youth sex workers as part of their discussion. And plenty of folks who are involved in the fight to decriminalize sex work also talk about some really important aspects of the lives of LGBTQ youth -- such as rejection by parents, homelessness, and unemployment.

However, even in 2021, there remains an absolute refusal among sex worker rights activists to recognize the very close historical connection between age of consent laws and sex work laws.

It's hard for me to stress how important I feel it is to recognize the connection between age of consent laws and sex work laws. And, as I've continued to talk about sex work over the years, I've tried to keep my focus on this one aspect of the issue.

7/30/19 discussion of some of my own ideas about sex work

Here is the link to my July 30, 2019, Twitter thread discussion of some of my own ideas about sex work.

While I agree with these ideas, even still, and while a lot of my ideas came from research, reading, etc., I'm still not always fond of these threads where I give a lot of my own ideas and theories.

I don't think they're bad. And I definitely want to make sure I post them. But I also feel like I can probably do better to continue studying topics and presenting the results of my topics, rather than giving my own opinions on topics, especially when it comes to sex work -- which I have no personal experience with.

4/11/18 review of research on FOSTA-SESTA's effect on free weekly papers

Here is the link to my April 11, 2018, Twitter thread review of some additional research I did into FOSTA-SESTA.

This thread mainly deals with impacts of FOSTA-SESTA on free weekly papers, as I'd been hearing back from them a little more as I'd done some independent research.

Twitter's platform has twisted each of my threads, through 2018 and 2019, out of chronological order. This thread is still coherent. But it definitely is twisted out of shape. My apologies.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.

4/10/18 -- Review of research into free weeklies after FOSTA-SESTA

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of some independent work I did personally regarding FOSTA-SESTA.

I'd reached out to a number of free weekly newspapers across the country to see how the then-recently passed legislation would affect their decisions about printing adult services advertisements.

Twitter's platform has twisted each of my threads, through 2018 and 2019, out of chronological order. This thread is disordered, but still somewhat coherent.
