How Popular YouTubers Pushed Young Male Voters Toward Trump How podcasters like Joe Rogan and Logan Paul turned young men, a once apolitical demographic, into a massively powerful voting bloc

if you are in Las Vegas some photos of my photography project Archivo Puta is being exhibited here with more amazing sex workers colleagues and their art and much more ❤️📸✨

Tomorrow at First Friday! You’re definitely not going to want to miss this! ❤️👠☂️

Come get tattooed at our event tomorrow from our exclusive flash sheet! A percentage of proceeds will be going directly towards mutual aid efforts for sex workers!

Proud to know you and learn from you. 💕❤️
