What Would I Do if My Country was Committing Genocide?

3/1/2024

 
Picture
This week, a U.S. Air Force member named Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire to protest the genocide in Gaza after receiving classified military information. His last words were "Free Palestine!"

It can be easy to write off this sort of extreme protest as a mental health mistake. But that that would mean missing the incredibly powerful statement Bushnell made.

A Response to "Everyone is Hurting on Both Sides" of the Israel/Gaza War

1/15/2024

 
Picture
It's hard to express how bad things are in Gaza right now. I have an internet friend who lives there and it is heart-wrenching to hear him fear death, and recently, mourn the death of a close childhood friend.

I know that lots of sex-positive folks (and other leftists) are thinking "People on both sides are suffering. We shouldn't focus on Palestinians above Israelis. What about anti-semitism?"

Massachusetts Youth Deserve Better Sex Education!

An Interview with ​Public Health Advocate Lyv Norris

Sex Ed Isn't Spooky rally at the Massachusetts State House, October 2023
Massachusetts is known for being a liberal haven, along with the rest of New England. But our state policies aren’t always as progressive as you might expect.

For instance, MA schools aren’t required to teach sex education. And if they do teach sex ed, they aren’t required to talk about consent, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

What To Do About the Violence in Israel/Palestine

10/18/2023

 
Picture
The violence in Israel/Palestine is deeply disturbing and heartbreaking. As humans, seeing other humans suffer is naturally disturbing. And as sex-positive folks, we know that sexual freedom cannot exist without basic human rights and safety.

Where basic safety does not exist, it is extra hard to advance sexual rights.
