I maintain a separate (very part-time) artistic practice as an online sex-worker that has played an important role in my healing from gender-based violence. This art is published under a different name and maintains a clear separation from my work as Lyra McMahon and Dielle Lundberg. I share this to make clear it is not a secret, to reduce career and safety risks via transparency, and to challenge stigmatization of sex work in society.

I have written elsewhere about my practice. My work explores themes of social isolation, gender, sexuality, and health. Half of any net earnings from this work are redistributed to health-related mutual aid and health advocacy efforts for the decriminalization of sex work and improved labor conditions for sex workers. Since sexuality and sex work are themes that I regularly explore in my art and occasionally in my scholarship, I felt it was relevant to be open about my practice here.
