Sex Work Twitter Reacts and Educates When it Comes to Coronavirus

Coronavirus. Wooooof. What a bumpy 24 hours. From that terrifying Oval Office address where the US President twiddled his thumbs and struggled to read out loud, to the NBA suspending its season, to Coachella getting rescheduled and the restriction of entry to the US from EU countries. Organizations and institutions are reacting in a big (and cautious) way. That’s probably partly a good thing, as stressful as all of this might seem.

One place that’s not known for cautious reactions, though, is Twitter. I personally do everything I can to keep the broader Twitter community out of my sights by strategically blocking and muting all the worst nonsense. Sex Work twitter is really where it’s all at, anyway. And it should come as little surprise that sex workers are taking it all in stride (as much as possible). Folks out here sharing reasonable, and informed opinions, seeking input or experience from others, and working to take care of one another, is how my timeline looks even on the best days.

But when there’s a crisis afoot… well… they just keep doing that. Here’s a rundown of some of the best reactions and info posts from SW Twitter:

Some people were just looking for info on how others were doing and how they could help.

Sex Workers!
If you need some help/advice around doing online sex work while all of this is going down I’m available to chat. I can help with phone sex, onlyfans, clips, and limited info for camming (I never did great at it so my knowledge is meh).

I’ve already graduated, so this isn’t a practical concern, but with universities like Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, etc. closing (possibly for the rest of the semester), will students receive room & board refunds for the unused portion of the semester?

And folks were glad to share what they’d been experiencing:

I have had 9 cancellations this week because my humans who travel to LA have had work trips canceled do to this.
