Because the fascists are making it harder to reach you using social media, I will, like a recidivist, begin blogging again as a way to keep you up to date, and, you know, leave SEO roots.
Moving on.
The plan is simple:
Sunday PRE/POST an update on the week past and what's is coming. I'll hit you with practical information while you're fresh and relatively free of despair for the week ahead.
Wednesday: Content update. Clips / films / photos / links out to other projects...
When I feel like it: Features....whatever I decide. Just sit and eat your food.
LAST WEEK, escort and indie pornographer Liara Roux organized an Sex Work AMA on Reddit.
More than 60 sex workers, activists, researchers, and law makers gathered to answer questions from .... anyone on our work and lives, prescriptions for recent legislation (FOSTA/SESTA) that's been negatively impacting (threatening) our lives and livelihood.
It was a challenging experience in that we were bombarded with people who were clearly there to abuse sex workers (who they see as other, less than human, or brainwashed victims...). Not everyone casually encountering the thread was aware of the stereotypes we combat every day in our lives, I noticed, and some civilians had trouble detecting SWERFy and TERFy leading questions. Suffice to say, if they weren't there to learn, I wasn't there to teach them... 😈
I tried to tie up trolls as much as possible (we all have our talents...) and answer a few questions myself. While there were some problems, overall, a productive digital artifact of sex work left on an internet that seems increasingly willing to erase our existences. Thanks to Liara for extending her platform to so many people.
Still a little overwhelmed to do a real post-mortem but some quick #SexWorkAMA stats:

As NSFW we had limited reach but still hit front page
We got brigaded by SWERF & TERF subreddits a few times but held our own
The Courtesan Iconoclast.
A trip to Manhattan last month yielded a new round of filming...

Sales suggest these were particularly devastating...Focusing on erotic hypnosis, brainwashing, conditioning, financial domination, psychological bondage, chastity, and deep submission. After a round of equipment upgrades, I'm pleased w the results...But I'm not done.

Niteflirt
Speaking of Niteflirt...I am out of storage on my main account. I suggest boys transition over to IWC if possible...If not, I will be starting a second NF for the overflow, but it's a low priority so send cash and don't hold your breath.
Wishlists:
Every lady likes gifts and I am no exception. If you'd like some ideas, visit my WORSHIP page.
For practical gifts: Amazon
Digital/Hardware: Apple
Sartorial: Net-a-Porter
MISC / $$ processor: DeliveryCode.
Cash, of course, remains a superlative gift.. Transitive properties and all. You understand.
Summer Plans:
As usual, I continue to have limited availability for 1:1 engagements, whether that be by phone, video, or in person. Please be efficient and appropriately generous in your communications to this end to ensure a favorable outcome.
Twitter is the most public-facing format I use, although it is not an appropriate venue to seek conversation with me @ your discretion. I have also recently begun working w a competent assistant again to get some back-burnered projects moving. Too many ideas and not enough arms... Look for a resurrection of both INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX class series (w Lauren Chief Elk, and others) and ICONOCLAST PREP. While the site is down, you may still book coaching sessions with me through my scheduling site.
Admirers & Litigants:
- You may call me on my verified line.
- My chat IDs are also available for purchase in my shops.
Given the peril of our new digital age, I recommend signing up for my (v infrequent) NEWSLETTER where you will find the fourth wall broken. Events/Travel/Initiations/Releases
I will be mostly at the beach this summer, visiting NYC and Boston.
LA in the fall. Paris, maybe. Do your best.
By the way...I shot over the weekend. A tight, murderous stretch of film...I will release it as clips, but I might cut a short out of it and see where it goes.
Say your prayers, of course. Pay your alms.
xx, Ms Smith.
