Please know I'm doing my part offline. The firehouse of updates just makes it harder for me to contribute ugh

Boundaries! Permission to fight fascism in ways that make life *more* worth living, instead of less! We don't need to make our own martyrs! Ask me about my current WIP "ORGASM! the musical: 30 years of sex questions answered in one hour" except email me bc I won't see it here.

I logged in after a year away just to say Dr. Talter is my life coach.

Then I got sucked down into the nightmare of how bad I already knew it was out there, and I think I'll be going away for a year again.

My book baby is born! 🙌🏾

Oh if you don't have Hulu but you do have four hours, may I recommend the audiobook of Harriet Tubman Live In Concert, the new novel by Bob the Drag Queen, narrated by the author, including two original songs. Not sexy but very funny and moving.

This has been your doomscroll interruption moment, celebrating femme sexual pleasure and power.

If you watch nothing else, watch Robby Hoffman as she lovingly tops Michelle Williams. It'll make your life better.

I may be the only person on earth to cry with joy at hearing sex described as a "nonlinear emergent phenomenon" on tv but, Esco Jouléy, if you're listening, fucking thank you.

Deep in the lockdown I consulted with the writers on some of the sexuality aspects of the story, and I am very proud and moved by the way they integrated my bits of science into the story to make it feminist and true to the experience of a trauma survivor.

Hello, I'm popping my head up into the BlueSkies to say: if you have Hulu and 4 hours, I hope you'll watch Dying for Sex starring Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate.

HOLY SHIT I WON!!!!

SOMETIMES GOOD THINGS HAPPEN YAY

Good morning friends ❤️ Rise and Resist ✊Time to break out the poster board and markers!

Please watch this interview with brilliant messaging mind @anatosaurus.bsky.social and share it widely. And give her a follow.

Republicans no longer pretending to staff customer (voters) service hotline. Keep having town halls, speak to empty chair or make paper mache puppet of your MAGA Rep - you can burn in effigy after you record constituents yelling that we demand an end to the hostile takeover of our government.

Hi hello are you a sex educator on the blue skies? TELL ME WHO YOU ARE and what your specialty is. I have to decline many podcasts etc this year bc: writing, and I'd love to make a list of people to recommend instead of me!

Please spread the word!

text says: when you get to the part in TURNED GAY BY THE EXISTENTIAL DREAD THAT I MAY ACTUALLY BE A CHARACTER IN A CHUCK TINGLE BOOK where its revealed that we are all, in fact, characters in a chuck tingle book. image is wiiam dafoe looking skyward with dread

a lot to process but great news overall

Opening of this week's episode...

if you are the kind of guy who thinks a lot of big thoughts about how you would TOTALLY punch a Nazi if you ever got the chance, I have great (meaning, terrible) news for you about how many public places you can go now where that’s a genuinely useful attitude to have

being obsessed with IQ is a good sign that you have nothing in your life to give you actual meaning. (also a good sign you have bell curve-esque beliefs about human equality)

your outie lives in a functioning democracy

How are queer people seen as political? Judith Butler writes in Undoing Gender, “Queer people, through their bodies, style and relationships, make us question what is real and show us that the existing social order is not absolute. They demonstrate that our gendered beliefs about the world, which also shape our cultural customs and rituals, are not set in stone and that a different life is possible.”

Become ungovernable and live your truth. That is the only way to survive and build a new society for all.

Today in Working Hard to Prove What Everyone Already Knew But Thanks for Documenting It for the Future, Assuming We Have One

Why is it so hard for cis journalists to write about trans people in a way that assumes trans people exist and are people?

That's a rhetorical question, I know why, please don't explain it, I'm just enraged.

We need a phase when all stories about trans people can only be written by trans people, so we don't get garbage like this over and over. Cisgender journalists, please decline these stories and refer your editor to a trans journalist. FFS.

This is how the hostile takeover of our government and armed robbery of our money is going. One month in and they're completed 1/3rd of the Project 2025 agenda.

"biological truth" as understood by ::checks notes:: a lawyer without credential or expertise. Cool.

2025 and Democrats still don’t grasp Lesson 1 of “Dont Think of An Elephant.”

NEVER REPEAT FALSE CHARGES

Yes yes yes to this: " If you find yourself thinking everyone else is picking the wrong fights and the fight you want to fight is a sure winner, I’m pretty sure you haven’t thought hard enough about how hard your preferred fight is going to be."
