Sevika, Vi and Ekko, who never saw eye to eye, bonding after Jinx's death over the fact that Sevika was there for her when neither of them were.

Sevika, telling them about the softer side of the girl with the manic eyes.

The three of them getting together, to try and piece together a full picture of Powder and Jinx. Vi, who knew who she started as. Sevika, who knew who she became. And Ekko, who knew who she could have been.

Definitely! As a sex worker I can relate to his relationship with his client Eddie. It is clear he does it for the money and is not into him, but he also has empathy for him and cares. I felt like that many times in my job. And indeed it is nice to see a show where a character being a sex worker is just one of the multiple sides of them, not their entire shown personality. I wish we would have more characters in shows who are casually doing sex work on the side:)

I think Lafayette in True Blood was the first unashamed sex worker character I ever saw on TV. He was a multi-faceted character, confident and unapologetic about his sexuality and his work, and I've never seen anything like it since.

He gets a lot of appreciation for being witty and beautiful and unapologetically gay and standing up for himself, and his character is wonderful for all of those things, but I also want to appreciate him for being a sex worker who wasn't 1-dimensional.

I feel that you summarized in a single sentence everything I want to do with my writing, and pretty much what I want to do with my life the most. Thank you so much for that.

And cheers to all people who already do exactly that, and the ones who want to join. Let's have a guild.

My contribution, I hope, is to find the ideas that matter the most and connect them in a way that is highly actionable.

I don't want to participate in cruelty. In meanness, in fear. Sometimes I do, because I'm human and hurt, but most of the time finding some kindness in my heart is what will allow me to endure this cruel world. One of my worst fear is the world hurting me so badly that kindness, trust, and love would not be accessible for me anymore.

I do everything in my power for that to not happen. When I feel my heart closing up, I fight to open it again.

When I say “free water, free food, free shelter, free healthcare, free education for everyone” in that “everyone” I even include the people I hate. Too many people get surprised at the idea that I do wish for the people I hate to have better lives.
