Read about that ish right here. I myself am a fan of a lady of the evening on FB, and I follow her updates on TWITTER.

83 percent of prostitutes have Facebook pages, and many turned to the social network before Craigslist got rid of the “adult services” category, according to Columbia University sociology professor Sudhir Venkatesh.

K, now for ce soir. 2110 Centre for Gender Advocacy hosts Rad Sex Ed: A series of 101 workshops for everyone. Here's the schedj. 

May I ____ your ____?, Monday, February 7, 18h – 20h

Getting Off Getting Off, Thursday, February 10, 18h – 20h
Safer sex, consent, and communication are the foundations of a rad sex life. How does pleasure fit into the mix? Come talk about bodies, sex, making out, and getting off.

Film screening & discussion: Year of the Carnivore, Thursday, February 17, 20h – 23h

Just perfect.

My friend Alexandre Baril has a message to share. He is a local, sort of (he's working on his PhD in Ottawa for the time being), celebrated trans and feminist activist.

He needs hormones for a friend. Someone who has been doing them on the black market for a while ran out. He needs a cool doctor who will prescribe that shit to him post-haste.

Here is the text, in French:

J'ai un ami proche qui fait sa transition. Pour diverses raisons, il n'a pas été en mesure de faire le processus régulier (avec lettre de psy, etc.). Il a commencé depuis quelques semaines la testostérone acheté sur le marché noir. Il doit absolument voir un médecin et avoir fin janvier une prescription d'hormones qui lui conviennent et qui soient sécuritaires pour sa santé.  Je cherche des contacts de médecins généralistes, à Montréal ou n'importe où au Québec ou même Ottawa, qui sont ouverts et qui accepteraient de lui prescrire de la testostérone en attendant qu'il fasse tout le processus. N'importe quelle information que vous pourriez me donner serait utile, il contactera tous ces médecins, il n'est pas question pour lui maintenant d'arrêter l'hormonothérapie. UN ÉNORME MERCI À L'AVANCE, je suis certain que grâce à vous, une personne de la communauté trouvera sa voie. Pensez à vos propres médecins de famille, à des noms que vous avez vus circuler dans vos réseaux, etc.

I love youth, and even more so QUEER youth. I've worked with youth for over 10 years and I fully support the power-with, not power-over framework. So let's hear what these dudes have to say... (warning, mega American).
