Reminder: Audre Lorde taught us that caring for ourselves is "not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare." #PleasureActivism #DestigmatizePleasure

“Sales of BBW-SSBBW content are up more than 42% since the popularisation of drugs like Ozempic. The rise of adult creator content has brought an increased celebration of different types of bodies, even if mainstream culture may be focused more narrowly.”

Everybody has it backwards. Billionaires aren’t buying up these institutions to make money. They’re buying them to kill them. Same as the oligarchs destroying government and social programs and things like weather forecasting and regulatory bodies. They’re creating a world they control completely

How my brain works, in a series of web searches: How old was the oldest person to ever live? - 122 years and 164 days Has the age of Bible characters been verified (I.e. 900+)? - The ages of biblical characters, particularly those who lived before the Flood — not scientifically verified. 1/2

Audre Lorde, in a 1989 commencement address, said, "Remember this, despair is a tool of your enemies. That rumor, 'You can’t fight City Hall,' is circulated by City Hall. Facing the realities of our lives gives us the motivation for action, it gives us the power to change. You are not powerless."

A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like: “Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

Why didn’t anyone tell me Shrinking on Apple TV was so good?! Just the right amount of silly and sadness for the current climate. A feel-good show that somehow manages to hold space for our collective grief. 10/10 recommend!

Thinking of a few Malcolm x speeches as they tell people getting kidnapped in the streets by masked thugs to ‘remain calm’

"During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night. The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for."

I'm gonna say this with all the kindness in my heart: you aren't going to survive if you don't let your life have room for other things. This is not a short term fight where we can just go 24/7 and then it will be over. We've got YEARS ahead of us. Take a break. Hydrate. Go bake something. Breathe.

remember when some of y'all were welcoming her to the resistance ... please, next time she mildly criticizes trump, please remember she's still the enemy, trying to hurt my family specifically. and they aren't gonna stop with minors.

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

I am looking for guests with disabilities to come on my award-winning podcast Disability After Dark. If you are interested, reach out to me at [email protected] and please pass this along.

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

I been feelin' like a bad bitch all doddamn day 🥰

If you grew up in the church and later wanted to explore sex on film... with a partner... what did you start with? Adult films or adult TV and movies? Here's where we started! #exJW #PurityCulture #DestigmatizePleasure #SexTechNChill

The best day I’ve had in a minute. Also, peep my man’s 📸 skills! So proud of him 🤗🤩🥰

It feels so good to be back!! 🤗😊💗

One reason the One Special Boy thinks he can just issue Executive Orders to do whatever he wants is because he keeps issuing Executive Orders & doing whatever he wants - in obvious violation of the law & Constitution - & no one who swore oaths to country & Constitution is doing anything about it.

Even if you don’t watch tv or Kimmel, it’s worth signing.

Precious is a perfect example of lead by example—and get paid to be yourself. I hadn't thought deep enough about WHY she resonates for me, until sitting down to write this profile for @sextechnchill.bsky.social. Then it hit me...

"As a JW girl, I wasn’t supposed to dream about the lush, naughty worlds Ellen created. But she made those worlds look irresistible. ..It’s hard to explain the kind of impact her work has had on me. She didn’t just influence my aesthetic. She shaped how I saw womanhood, sex appeal, and freedom." 🥰

Spotlight 9 of 30 🤠 An emo-skater kid from Toronto with a love for anime, music, and nail art, Dom Gabriel never fit the mold of what masculinity was “supposed” to look like. That refusal to conform became his super power. And his visibility, a lifeline for millions. sextechnchill.beehiiv.com

Spotlight 7 of 30 ✨ You know Katori Hall as the creator of P-Valley, but did you also know she’s a Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright, a Tony-nominated storyteller, and one of the rare culture shifters who makes space for the sacred and the sensual to share the same stage? #SexualFreedomMonth

It's just a sports ban. It's just a bathroom ban. It's just a healthcare for kids ban. It's just a military service ban. It's just a federal jobs ban. It's just a university housing ban. It's just a passport & visa ban. It's just one Constitutional right. It's just your status as free citizens.

Day 5 of 30 ✨ Snow Tha Product is a queer Mexican-American rapper delivering bilingual bars at breakneck speed since the early 2010s. An independent artist owning her artistry and queerness, she embodies what it means to be a culture shifter—simply by living true to herself. #SexualFreedomMonth

Seen out and about in Chicago.

Day 4/30 ✨ With a bachelor’s, two master’s, and 3M+ followers across social, Conscious Lee is schooling The Culture in real time. He calls his style “intellectual, grounded in the hood.” We call it disruptive AF—and exactly what we need. @theconsciouslee.bsky.social

Religious guilt wired us to see love and trust through fear. And even when it’s toxic, people stay, because control gets disguised as morality, and shaming healthy sexuality gets sold as “goodness.” @natportnoy.bsky.social @sherrijxoxo.bsky.social @yobigrube.bsky.social #UnapologeticallyCurious

@YouTube is using AI to impose online ID checks on users! Stop forcing users to choose between censorship and privacy! www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/stop...

Confederate statues are “history” but a rainbow crosswalk dedicated to victims of a mass shooting is “political.”

Sex can be controversial and scary. It can make you feel uncomfortable. We can have nuanced discussions about gender and consent and sexism and the male gaze. We can protest things we think are gross or offensive. And we can do all of that without criminalizing consensual sex.

‼️ FYI ‼️ “…it was an "experiment" that has now ended.”

Spotify is now instituting face scans and ID checks ... to listen to music. Porn was only ever the excuse. The only thing that surprises me is how quickly the government surveillance mandate has spread to absolutely every service we use. www.404media.co/spotify-uk-a...

As if we needed another reason to slow our roll. AI is not the bandwagon we should all be jumping on—both mindful consumption and construction are absolutely key. One small change I made today was setting my search engine AI assist to only answer when clicked/asked (vs automatically every time).

Love thangs.

That moment when your professional development forces you to confront your personal development 😮‍💨 …what do you call it when deep shame and pride collide in a single moment? Cause that’s where I’m at today 🥹 #AllTheFeels

Social media platforms don’t shadowban—just like Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t shun. BLOOP! 😝

“…women tended to rate things as more pornographic than men, especially the more explicit depictions of sex. People who were married and/or were more religious gave higher ratings across the board, especially to things at the less explicit end of the spectrum (like swimsuit issues).”

The Texas GOP has introduced a bill to ban CVS, Walmart and other big box stores from selling sex toys — "obscene devices" — no matter how discreetly or generically packaged. How long until they go after lube and condoms? www.capitol.state.tx.us/BillLookup/H...
