I Paid for College

Reposting a clip that I stumbled upon on Bound, Not Gagged. Xaviera is a legend, and I hope to have the opportunity to see the documentary in its entirety.

Make sure to check out her personal website for more information (or just for fun).

Started posting on craigslist as a way to advertise the IPFC project. My logic is as follows: If we’re looking for stories written by college sex workers, and college sex workers use craigslist to advertise and find gigs, this could be a fast and easy way to reach large numbers of people with relatively little grunt work.

Of course, I had forgotten that craigslist wags a finger at cross-posting, so I’ve been dancing around language barriers in an attempt to share with a large audience what I consider to be important work.

So, if you stumble upon this site and know some folks who fit the bill, please do send them this way.

Though I missed the show last year, I was fortunate enough to attend a panel discussion with the lovely folks from the Sex Workers’ Art Show. I’m a day late and a dollar short, as the tour has already come and gone, but I’m so glad this project has survived (despite the controversy).

As a big supporter of collective and community-based art, I really appreciate this project, posted by a guest blogger on Feministe.  I like the idea of story mapping.  I like seeing a map and linking an identity (however faceless) and a story (however brief) to a visual pinpoint.  There’s something about it that makes me feel small but connected.

Hi everyone.  After an 8-month hiatus, the “I Paid for College Project” is back on track and ready to hit the ground running.  As the administrator of the website and the muscle behind the project, I wanted to be sure that I was committed to seeing this through.  First, this meant graduating from college, which I did in May.  Second, this meant pulling my act together, which I’m still working on.

I am finally beginning to actively seek out submissions.  This means putting up posters, networking through the blogosphere, and lots of online advertising.  If you’d like to be a part of the outreach process, drop an email to ipaidforcollege [at] gmail [dot] com.

‘Til next time!
