The image is a graphic of two queer sweeties smiling sweetly, standing shoulder to shoulder, wearing leather and lingerie, all rendered in vibrant pink. They stand in front of a background with a white center radiating out to powder blue on the margins. Words at the top read “Happy Trans Day Of Visibility”, while words at the bottom read “Trans S3x Workers Are Precious”. The BAWS logo, a high heel inside a circle, is stamped in black on the upper right.
This Trans Day Of Visibility, BAWS honors and uplifts all Trans S3x Workers, and especially BIPOC Trans S3x Workers.
From our own Trans + Non-binary staff to you — Thank you for sharing your light with the world. May you know peace, safety, and love, today and always. 🤍🩵🩷

Our very ~*first*~ Cyber Spring workshop series is in the books! Thank you to our presenters, our Spanish interpretation services, and to all of YOU who attended. If you were unable to, keep an eye out as we reformat the presentations for sharing in other formats! 💖
The image is a hand holding stylized event poster with a retro-futuristic, cyberpunk-meets-spring vibe. The central visual is a humanoid profile of a femme fairy-like creature with glossy lips and short hair, wearing over-ear headphones and holding a narcan nasal spray device in their hands. Around them are Windows-style computer elements. Pastel pink flowers are scattered across the computer-grey background. At the very top, the poster reads “Bay Area Workers Support presents…” and a bold, pixelated title reads “Cyber Spring” in chunky black letters. A round BAWS logo with a high-heel silhouette sits to the right of the title, with a magenta pixel-cursor arrow pointing toward it. Near the bottom in bold, blocky type it reads “Free Virtual Workshops for S3x Workers”

We all know EXACTLY how much cash we made this year, right? 😉
Text that reads: "Starting March 25, 2026, we will remove the option to restrict purchases from third-party sellers for list items. When this change takes effect, gift purchasers will be able to purchase items sold by third-party sellers from your lists and your delivery address will be shared with the seller for fulfillment. This change will provide gift purchasers with access to a wider selection of items when shopping from your lists. Important note: When gifts are purchased from your shared or public lists, Amazon needs to provide your shipping address to sellers and delivery partners to fulfill these orders. During the delivery process, your address may become visible to gift purchasers through delivery updates and tracking information. To help protect your privacy, we recommend using a PO Box or non-residential address for any list you share with public audiences."
Sex workers! Amazon is changing their policy when it comes to sharing gift lists. Your address may be visible to purchasers if you have a public Amazon wishlist.
