Therapy fails sex workers. Despite the wide range of sex work—from street-based to OnlyFans—clinicians too often focus on what they think sex workers need, instead of building trust, developing rapport, and really doing the work to understand the unique stressors that make quality mental health care essential for sex worker communities. Sex-positive therapists Theo Burnes and Jamila Dawson break down everything that mental health providers need to know to work effectively with sex workers, while dispeling the tired, pervasive myths that continue to impact treatment today

Collected for your entertainment (and mine), you'll find several (almost) poems about various aspects of my nerdy upbringing that I use as springboards into thoughts about the nature of being an adult, a parent, a functioning member of society. If you love pop culture, this might be your jam. If you grew up in the 80s and 90s, this will make sense. The word "poetry" is taken lightly here. Everything reads like very tiny narratives. The good news is that you'll understand it better. Plus I never say "thy" or "thine" or "thou" once in the whole thing. Oh, and none of it rhymes, unless by ...
