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.

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.

A FEDERAL PROGRAM TO TEACH WOMEN WHEN THEY’RE OVULATING IS SEX EDUCATION

The government now wants to sponsor classes to teach about the menstrual cycle? 😂 Baby that’s literally just the comprehensive sex education y’all have been dismantling.

Guys I can’t stand the Phils nickname “The 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.

it's all grift all the way down, "government efficiency" as a way to rip you off over and over again in every aspect of your life there's nothing they won't make worse

“…any narrative involving minors could be challenged; especially political or activist content. And if you don’t think that’s exactly how this law will end up being used, I beg you to look around.” Laws like this RELY on people taking the headline at face value and shocker: doing so is dangerous!!

Stop boosting these stupid, poorly drafted state laws claiming to "protect child influencers." They're not going to do shit to "protect child influencers," they're about censoring journalism and free speech, and making it harder for young people to have a voice online and in our political system.

Well I just cried at episode one of Dying for Sex on Hulu. Is it all gonna be this way?! 😩🥹

I was chatting recently with some college students and they told me it's not uncommon for male sexual partners to offer to buy them Plan B in lieu of using a condom. Like, "I don't want to use a condom, I'll get you the Plan B." I have thoughts and the first one is- this is manipulative AF. 🧵

MAHA wants to “go back”, to “RETVRN” in fascist parlance. Fascist and far-right movements are steeped in nostalgia for things that never happened, happy eras of freedom and glory that never existed; MAHA is no exception

RFK Jr.'s "MAHA" movement doesn't want to eliminate chronic illness. They want to eliminate the chronically ill.

Public health, modern medicine and disease mitigation will suffer under RFK Jr. because he sees sick people- not sickness- as the problem.
