Career

Slutever

Sciortino started her blog Slutever in 2007 while living in London.[4] Initially, the blog centered around her and roommates' sexual exploits and life in their squatting commune, but soon evolved into what the New York Times called "a chronicle of sexual experimentation."

In 2012, Sciortino and producer Adri Murguia started a web series called Slutever for Vice, which ran for three seasons.[5] The series took a journalistic approach to exploring taboo aspects of modern sexuality, with Sciortino as host.[6] In 2017, Sciortino and Murguia co-created a Viceland television series, also called Slutever, which built thematically off the webseries.[7][8] The second season of Viceland’s Slutever aired in 2019.

Sciortino’s memoir Slutever: Dispatches from an Autonomous Woman in a Post Shame World was published by Grand Central Publishing (New York City) on February 6, 2018.[9][10]

Now Apocalypse

Sciortino and Gregg Araki co-wrote the first season of Now Apocalypse (executive produced by Steven Soderbergh), a surreal comedy television show premiering on Starz in 2019.[11] Sciortino is also the show’s consulting producer.[12] The series was cancelled after one season.[13]

Easy

In 2017, Sciortino starred in "Side Hustle," Episode 3 of Season 2 of Joe Swanberg's Netflix television show Easy.[14]

Personal life

Sciortino was born in Highland, Ulster County, New York.[15] She later moved to London where she lived in a squatting commune.[3] In 2010 Sciortino moved to New York City, and she currently lives between New York and Los Angeles.[6][16]

gollark: Credit card abuse is maybe not very common, but if the system works it's DEFINITELY not because of any technical merits of it.
gollark: All the information you need, as far as I know, is literally written *on the card*.
gollark: "If they start doing stuff you don't want with it, you just have to hope someone notices and stops it, but it might stop transactions you actually want to make randomly anyway."
gollark: "Ah yes, you need to give someone these numbers to make a transaction, and they're literally all written on the card anyway, and if they have the numbers they can arbitrarily make any amount of transactions they want."
gollark: I don't like bitcoin generally, but... well, you have to explicitly make a transaction, what moron designed credit cards?
