A Stripper's Guide Podcast

Sex Work, Queerness, Judaism, and Anti-zionism as Community Care feat. Ayelet Cartolina and Making Mensches

September 06, 2024 Leilah Feinstein

HELLO FROM THE VOID!
This is my first episode in over a year. I promised in spring of 2023 that I'd return in the fall. But in the fall, we collectively began to witness an unbridled holocaust in Palestine. I was frozen with grief for many months, and stopped producing all content; I was speechless, and hopeless. While I'm still filled with a profound grief and rage, a lot has changed for me since then. I've found strength and solidarity in my anti-zionist queer sex worker community, and a community of fellow anti-zionist Jews. Today's episode features a conversation with myself and queer, anti-zionist Jewish educators Ayelet Cartolina and Jessie & Elana from the Making Mensches Podcast.

One last thing: in June of 2023, Meta deleted my Stripper's Guide Instagram account in a wave of overnight deletions of thousands of sex workers' accounts across the world. It is so important to me to be able to stay connected to you! If you want information and tools for navigating anti-sex worker and anti-femme stigma in the world and in your relationships, please consider subscribing to my free blog on Substack! You can still find me on Instagram, but please don't let that fickle place be our only avenue of connection.
