The Sexting Dictionary, is a companion volume to The Joy of Text. The Sexting Dictionary catalogues abbreviations related to sexual intimacy, revealing how desire is encoded to evade censorship and monitoring while still enabling connection. Together, the two books form an archive of intimate communication shaped by concealment, consent, fear, and pleasure.
By preserving these exchanges in physical, handcrafted form, the project asserts embodied activism—reclaiming intimacy from platforms built on surveillance.
