Carol Leigh (aka The Scarlot Harlot) is credited with coining the term "s*x w*rker" at a conference in the late 1970s. “Sex Use Industry” was previously used but the phrasing bothered her because it objectified SW and trivialised the agency they had when organising their labour.

Thought I'd pop on twitter today as I have been having a social media break and turns out it is dying soon???? Follow me on all the Socials Molly Caenwyn and sign up to my newsletter?! I hope it doesn't dissappear for good. This is the only place I hear about conferences 😭😭😭

I joined the other one and I have no idea what I'm doing. Please go follow mastodon.lol/@mollycaenwyn

New Blog Post: When I was 15, my rapist wrote me a letter on photography. A handwritten note on lined A4 paper that he slipped to me at school. The letter detailed many things about photography. Musings that will be disclosed when thephotographictheorist.com/writings/on-ra…

Still about two weeks to prepare your paper proposal and apply to speak at #PHRC23 #photography #photohist #

This wouldn't apply to Wales due to education being devolved, however this sets a dangerous precedent and we hope the Welsh Government makes a public stand against it. Forcibly outing children puts them in danger, and cuts off any chance of exploring their gender identity

New Post! The Deleted Image: Thoughts on Photography, Memory and Control.⁠ There is so much lit. on memory & photography that it is hard to know where to start. I wanted to open this convo by sharing a photo from my past only I will remember & was made to delete.⁠ Link in bio

#ARCHIVE/Illustrator PEOPLE OF TWITTER! I need some help. Would any of you know where I can find the archive of work by Illustrator #JanPienkowski?? I've done a very brief look at his website and recent exhibits but am assuming it's possibly with the family/estate?

When we said that we wanted to make Wales the most LGBTQ+ friendly place in Europe, we meant it. That was Mark Drakeford 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿’s message to Pride Cymru this weekend.
