Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Embracing Your Queerness After High Control Religion . After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar. This isn't a seminar about spirituality or how you should interpret any religion's teachings about gender and sexuality. Think of this as a seminar that's a love letter to queer and questioning people...

Last chance to register for my class for LGBTQ+ people recovering from high control religion- tonight at 7pm ET! I'm a sex educator not a theologian! We're gonna talk about all the affirmation & advice you need. You'll receive the recording if you can't attend live. us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

In addition to being a sex educator, I'm a huge Eagles fan, so I was THRILLED to hear my name shouted out on @newheightsofficial.bsky.social because of a comment I made about the legendary Jason Kelce pinup tattoo. Travis Kelce said I'm an educator but if they only knew I'm a SEX educator lol.

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds.

While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

These evangelical men saved sex for marriage – they weren’t well prepared Scores of Christian men have been raised on ideas of abstinence and β€˜purity’ – what does that mean for their sex lives later on?

My work is featured in the Guardian :)

Join the seminar + supportive space for people figuring out their queer identities after purity culture. It's a love letter to queer and questioning people raised in high control religion and purity culture- especially to "late bloomers." us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Simply being gay/lesbian/queer and having a platform doesn't make you an expert that other people should pay to guide them through their emerging queerness.

Guys I can’t stand the Phils nickname β€œThe Fightins.” I can’t explain why other than it just makes me cringe. It’s weird to pronounce. This is a 420 tweet but I stand by it.

Where are the other queer women who have disliked Katy Perry ever since I Kissed A Girl? That song felt like a crime against dykes anytime it came on at the bar.

Cicero Institute: The Shadow Lobby Fueling Mass Incarceration Of Homeless People The Cicero Institute is quietly driving a nationwide campaign to criminalize homelessness through copy-paste legislation that benefits private prisons.

Criminalizing homelessness has become immensely profitable.

"It's an entire business model. By steering public money away from permanent housing solutions and into jails, detention facilities, and surveillance tech, the Cicero Institute's backers protect their wealth and expand their influence."
