Thrilled to collaborate with Victoria Pitts-Taylor on this piece about why gender is under attack. Hint: it’s about democracy as much as it’s about bodies and roles #censorship #HigherEducation #gender #transgender #PoliticalRepression

I had a great time with Jill McClellen on Seeing Death Clearly. We covered tons of ground about some of the hardest conversations we need to have. From "why can't I talk to my doctor about this" to "what do we tell the kids," we touched on it all. bit.ly/SeeingDeathC... #DeathDoula #EndOfLifeCare

I care deeply about shifting the death denial of our culture so that we recognize the beauty and power in our mortality.This film project is all about facing death with love so we can live every moment as fully as possible. Check it out. #DeathPositivity #DeathCare seedandspark.com/fund/soon-dead

Age verification laws are likely to do more harm than good, even to the very people they claim to protect. Join this Monday conversation to learn more about the threats to #FreeSpeech and #DigitalPrivacy that we're facing as a result of today's ruling in FSC v. Paxton.

You need this book or you know someone who does. And it’s free until 6/25. Kate Bornstein’s “Hello, Cruel World” is full of ideas about how to stay alive and push back against the injustice that makes it hard to feel loved and respected. Thank you, Auntie Kate @katebornstein.bsky.social

So grateful to work with an organization working to advance to sexual freedom and human rights through education, research, advocacy, and coalition-building. Especially when our kids are being threatened.

With everything going on in the world it can be hard to remember the local politics matter. It’s primary season here in NYC and early voting is open. My $.02? Rank the slate. #DontRankCuomo

I see you, trans friends, and I honor you. I despise the actions the U.S. government has taken in its attempt to render you invisible or deny your existence. You are real. You are powerful. You matter! #TransDayOfVisibility #GenderRightsAreHumanRights #SexualRightsAreHumanRights

#FuneralDirectors: What if I told you that many of the challenges you face when dealing with grieving families—shock, confusion, skepticism—could be eased with the help of a death doula? Thurs., 2/20, 7pm EST. 1 CE. bit.ly/CVIntroDoula #ContinuingEducation #FuneralEducation #ABFSE #DeathDoula

Newspeak hits the science journals. insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...

Hospital protests have begun for hospitals that are complying with an executive order banning gender affirming care. The order does NOT have the force of law, but some hospital systems are too scared of trump to defend trans kids in their care. This one at UVA Hospital.

A doctor in NY has been indicted in Louisiana for violating the state’s abortion ban via telemedicine. I hope NY’s shield law holds. This seems to be the first such case. #AbortionBans #WomensHealth #ReproductiveFreedom

Beyond thrilled that @britsoci.bsky.social featured Between Us in Network. More than ever we need the power of stories to help us understand the social forces shaping our personal troubles so we can heal ourselves and work for change. #AccessibleSociology #BetweenUsBook bit.ly/BetweenUsUCP

I love this NYT Op-Doc. Three conversations. In each, an adult child asks a parent about their sex life. The unexpected moments are beautiful. What do you think would happen if you asked your parent (or your adult child) these questions? #sexuality #DifficultConversations #SexAndAging

At Thanksgiving we often listen to Arlo Guthrie’s “Alice’s Restaurant.” Just a tiny act of celebratory resistance against war and repression. Today I read that Alice died. Please leave positive thoughts in the comments to help counter what feels like an ill omen.

Dramatic sky, late fall light, and the shimmer of the ocean. It’s okay to be unsettled. There is beauty and power in all kinds of energy.

Looking for my #DeathDoula friend out others involved in #EndOfLifeCare. #Hospice folks? #PalliativeCare folks? #FuneralProfessionals? #EstatePlanners? #Grief counselors and coaches? I’d love to connect!

Hi all! I’m new here. Haven’t been on Twitter/X in ages but lots of my FB friends have headed here so I’m joining in. Happy #caturday
