If you’re putting together a protest for Pussy Riot’s ridiculous two-year jail sentencing, leave us a comment here or tweet at us and let us know. Throughout today we’ll try and spread the word about rallies and protests!

i am not able to log into facebook until i apologize for doing valid feminist work in the nation’s capital.
in the past few days, presumably, a woman named “kim” (i will not reveal her last name or her email address) reported some of the slutwalk content on my own profile (i am unsure which content, because i have not logged back in) as “offensive” or “harassment.” although she is referring to this past week’s 2012 slutwalk, i was only present in 2011, where i spoke and was therefore photographed.
her message to me, along with her contact information, was included in a facebook “checkpoint” which stops me from accessing my account until i accept that my involvement with last year’s DC slutwalk breeches the facebook community standards and guidelines. (as a point of clarification, valid reasons to be successfully blocked from your profile on facebook include nudity, stealing intellectual property, and inciting or threatening to commit acts of violence. i did none of the listed behaviors within the community standards document on facebook’s website.)
i refuse to click “continue” and re-enter my facebook because i should never have been interrupted. by clicking “continue,” i am apologizing for something i refuse to apologize for, and i am also allowing what occurred to occur again.
considering facebook tolerates racism, rape jokes, and other offensive material in the name of “free speech,” it is weird to be banned from my own account merely for doing social justice work. but it is at least good to know that i was correct to assume that the only speech freely allowed on facebook is white, cisgender, straight, male speech by individuals attempting to oppress everyone else.
for now you can reach me on twitter or even send me a message here on tumblr. i also have a google plus.
peace out, zuckerfuck.
remember when our CEO spoke at slutwalk? facebook has removed all proof it ever happened.

Again, this was the first column I wrote. I will say it again and again: length of relationship does not cancel out consent.

“How can one engage in dirty talk if your first impulse is to laugh at how silly you sound? What role does humor have in dirty talk, if any?”

Happy Valentine’s Day!
We gave out these goodie bags at Simmons on Valentine’s Day. Each one had three condoms, two packets of lube, one dental dam, “75 ways to make love without doing it,” information on health ed at Simmons, how to use a dental dam and condom, and, of course, some Hershey’s Kisses. We gave out over 100 in an hour! Make it fun, make it safe, make it consensual! Love, Sex @ Simmons.
