French singer-songwriter/poet & cultural provocateur Georges Brassens remains IMO a class-consciousness icon & among the rare male artists with an accurate understanding of SWers’ realities. Welcome to my TEDtalk about his song “La Complainte des Filles de Joie” (loosely: “Working Girls’ Blues”) 🧵
One of the best job applications ever written came from the hands of Robert Pirosh in 1934. MGM loved it, took him on and in 1949 he won an Oscar for ‘Battleground’.

High skill often becomes invisible. When your time with a provider feels natural, spontaneous, and effortless, you're experiencing the result of thousands of hours spent refining a craft. The fact that we make it look easy isn't a reason to discount our work. It is precisely what you’re paying for.
On this day in 1975, in Lyon, over 100 SWers went on strike & occupied the St-Nizier church for 8 days, to protest inhumane working conditions stemming from police harassment, stigma & criminalisation. Today, I thank every one of them & carry forth their message. Happy Int'l Whores' Day! ☂️ #oursky
