i hate my job edited by adrie rose forthcoming may 1, 2026

"These essays are sharp, juicy, and electrifyingly honest about misogyny, racism, classism, and hierarchy, within and without the sex industry. When the voices are this clear, it's no longer reasonable for non-sex-working academics and legislators to try to work around them."—Jo Weldon "I Hate My Job is a stirring "I Hate My Job dismantles tidy rebuke of the girlbossification of contemporary high visible neoliberal narratives about sex work sex workers as liberated cum-with vulnerability and precision?" capitalist-landlord-moguls." -January Santoso —Ayanna Dozier "I Hate My Job is a masterclass in the knowledge sex workers acquire both on the job and through their own collaborative practices of study, both in and out of the academy. It's also a book full of wit and insight and frank accounts of occupational hazards and rewards." -McKenzie Wark

What you do after you hear about the Zong massacre and why it still matters What does it mean for us being human when a massacre does not stop you in your tracks?

What does it mean for us being human when a massacre does not stop you in your tracks? In this essay I examine the various ways in which scholars have tried to imagine the undoing of the endless night of the Zong, the undoing of a world we cannot live within.

Classics are classics for a reason. I'm glad this poster found Casablanca. I hope you will find some time to check out a classic novel, album, TV series, or film this weekend.

One of my eternal faves

I don't know how to explain this but Casablanca is a movie for adults.

There are lots of movies built on an element of fantasy about being young or brave or defying the odds.

Casablanca is not that. Everyone in that movie has back pain and they have all just accepted it.

Script if you need it:

I’m calling to tell Representative ____ to oppose H.R. 7661. This bill would pressure schools to remove titles that discuss lived experiences that some politicians find controversial. I don’t think trans people are controversial. (contin)

You dont need a team of analysts to say the countries carpet bombing Iran are responsible for the bombing. This is not a standard used for Russia or Iran, it’s a standard invented on Oct 17 2023 after the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital bombing and the ADL’s crybully campaign, it’s reserved only for Israel/US

It’s not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You don’t dispute this claim because it’s true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by “Iranian state media”

You people have been covering for genocidal murderers since the devil was in short pants. You consistently sanitize and obscure atrocities.

May every single person involved in the murder of these poor children never know a moment's peace. God have mercy this is unbearable.

Radical Israeli minister threatens Beirut with Gaza-like destruction Far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, widely known for incendiary rhetoric and controversial positions on Palestinians, warned Thursday that...

The Israeli finance minister Smotrich, who is also a deputy defense minister, threatens to turn Beirut into Khan Younis.

“For all nine of these killings, no one has yet been held accountable by the Netanyahu government,” the lawmakers wrote, “nor has the US government upheld its duty to protect Americans and secure justice and accountability for their deaths.”

Three of the nine were minors: a 14-year-old from New Jersey and two 17-year-olds killed in separate incidents.

Omar Assad, an elderly Palestinian-American, died of a stress-induced heart attack after being gagged, blindfolded, bound and left on the ground by IDF soldiers. Khamis al-Ayyada, 40, died of smoke inhalation in August after a fire was set by Israeli settlers in his village.

The nine dead span a range of ages and circumstances. Shireen Abu Akleh, renowned Palestinian American journalist, was shot in the head by an Israeli soldier in 2022 while clearly identified as press. Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, from Seattle, was also shot in the head during a West Bank protest in 2024.

Senators demand investigation after ninth American killed by Israeli settlers or soldiers in West Bank Lawmakers cite ‘consistent pattern’ in which Americans are being killed ‘without justice or accountability’

A good letter from Senate Democrats demanding a federal investigation into the murder of a Philadelphia-born Palestinian American named Nasrallah Abu Siyam.

Interestingly, neither of the two senators from Pennsylvania itself signed on. Nor did either NY senator, one of whom is Minority Leader.

Palestinian refugee camps of Burj Barajneh and Sabra and Shatila are being evacuated

These are the people who fled the Nakba and their descendants

The same state, Israel, is the cause of both

"It isn’t a stretch to see a bill like this used to outright ban all books by or about LGBTQ+ people under the guise of it being ‘sexually oriented.’”

The bill has the ignominious distinction of being the very first national-level attempt to ban books"

This is your friendly enby bookseller to remind you that Florida has legislation like this on the books, and the result is everything from Itty Bitty Kitty Corn to Picture of Dorian Gray getting banned.

This will affect everything, even books supposedly "allegorically" queer.

Why We Must Fight to Stop HR 7661 Before It Destroys the Lives of American Children Lately I’ve been calling my House rep and screaming about one zillion things, and maybe you have too. But today I want to talk about one thing in particular you should add to your list: H.R. 7661 i…

How a bill targeting trans literature could ban all LGBTQ+ books from American public schools (and why you should care).

It’s Not Complicated The mainstream media failed the public during the genocide in Gaza. The Key's editor-in-chief shares her vision for what comes next.

Former LA Times managing editor @sarayasin.bsky.social launches The Key, a new publication about Palestine that will be "a home for journalists who have had their stories spiked in mainstream outlets."

Canada’s Visa Requirements Are Forcing Students in Gaza to Put Dreams on Hold Students accepted by Canadian universities struggle to figure out how to leave Gaza and comply with strict visa rules.

It is horrific that Palestinian students from Gaza, admitted to Canadian universities, are not being granted student visas to Canada.

Amidst an ongoing genocide and occupation, denying Palestinian students is continuation of same violence and anti-Palestinian racism.

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“
