A new study is collecting life histories of asexual Leather/BDSM elders in the United States! See flyer:

Celibate woman challenge compulsory sexuality, or the assumption that everyone does and should participate in sexual activity. We often focus on how conservative sexual regimes—like evangelical purity culture—repress sex. But they compel sex too. Saying ‘no’ to sex can be a radical act.

All social science is being killed before our eyes

Anyone who generates panic about declining birth rates but is against immigration really gives the game away

New additions to this year's syllabi: expanded AI statement and disruptive odors policy.

I write about how researchers should define and approach asexuality in a recent Sociology Compass article. You can read it here:

Heading to Anaheim today to get some better air. My home is safe, but I'm devestated for my city.

Does anybody know of a way to add to the commissary of the incarcerated firefighters in LA?

What's the correct way to cite the same author with 2 forthcoming papers? I'm using ASA format. Author Forthcominga and Author Forthcomingb is what Zotero spit out but it looks so strange

This chart is also a good illustration of how wrong it is that the poverty line is 3x the cost of food

SURPRISE! I'M IN PLAYBOY! Talking about asexuality! Because asexual people can dress however the hell they want! 🤘🏾 Check out my article on asexual misconceptions, why I don't care about the male gaze & toxic 'feminism'! ❤️ #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike www.playboy.com/read/influen...

Distinguishing between sexual and romantic orientations is common in asexual communities... yet there's no research specifically about the split attraction model. Until now! I just published a study in Social Currents about split attraction. You can read it here:

What a day to be teaching about LGBTQ+ immigration policy

In a couple weeks you're all going to meet the 16-year-old trans girl who's challenge to a ban on gender-affirming medical care is being heard at SCOTUS and I'm going to need you all to 1) be loud and thankful for how badass she's being and 2) fight for her like your life depends on it

Happy #AceWeek!! This year, I'm celebrating by tweeting some facts that might be helpful for EDUCATORS. Teachers, administrators, counselors - anyone working with LGBTQ+ youth - this 🧵 is for you! Aces, feel free to add your own stories that educators should know!

Important to remember this doesn’t just happen. It takes determined work to pin obviously racist and xenophobic appeals as “economic anxiety,” it takes decades of erasing Black people and women from conversations on class, it takes elevating reports on crime “moods/feelings” into national crises etc

Our new report found almost 80% of all pregnancy-related arrests happen in just 5 southern states. AL leads the charge. The harm of pregnancy criminalization falls hardest on those already marginalized by class & race. Check your state: pregnancyjusticeus.org/data-center/
