We deserve better care systems.
Red tape. Low reimbursement rates. Delayed payments.

We heard from more than 500 psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists who each faced a moment when they decided they had to leave their insurance network.

Being able to feel hurt feelings while not getting too attached to your hurt is an important long term relationship skill. That doesn't mean suppressing hurt feelings, it means releasing them and moving forward in connection with your partner more quickly.

A beautiful, darkly funny, warm, erotic story of friendship, sex, love, life, death, healing, grief & connection. The portrayal of sexuality is positive, accurate & affirming. The writing is phenomenal, the casting is perfect, and the performances are nuanced & honest & real. I loved it so much.

Schumer and Jeffries are weak cowardly leaders who lack the spine to show courage in the face of facism and corruption. They don't have a fucking clue how to communicate about the damage being done to the country, or stand up to resist it. It's time for them to go. #chuckschumer #hakeemjeffries

Project 2025 in full swing.
Sexual health data just became harder to access: The CDC has removed large amounts of information from its website about diagnosing HIV, guidance on contraceptives for healthcare providers, and LGBTQ+ health. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...
Public health information pulled offline in response to Trump orders
Massive amounts of information about HIV, LGBTQ+ health were pulled from cdc.gov Friday night.

Act now. This is a power grab that will undermine democracy.

Call your members of Congress and demand action.
Hi that was a coup last night in case no one mentioned that to you. The executive branch seized the power of the purse the Constitution gave to Congress, which is a pretty authoritarian / illegal consolidation of powers move. Time to go yell at your reps, the media, etc.

When will voters understand that political division and extreme partisianship are covers that allow billionaires to continue hoarding all the resources, wealth,& power while everyone else fights each other over bullshit culture wars.

You are being ripped off by oligarchs that don't care about you.

The Body Keeps The Score is problematic in a variety of ways. There are evidence-based interventions for trauma (and this is not it), and survivors deserve the best care available.
What the most famous book about trauma gets wrong
People kept telling me to read "The Body Keeps the Score." I was shocked at what it actually says.

If you've been with your intimate partner for a long time, it's totally normal for sexual desire to shift from something spontaneous to something more responsive. Learning to cultivate responsive desire in your relationship can contribute to more satisfying sexual intimacy (& it can be hot AF 🔥🔥)

Don't believe the lies about gender affirming care. The WPATH standards outline clear and evidence-based guidelines for intervention. You can read them for yourself. Minors rarely get surgical intervention, and the detransition rate is extremely low. Gender affirming care saves lives. #lgbtqsky

It's sexual violence, not sexual misconduct. Stop minimizing violence against women (and girls).

Consider stocking up on emergency contraception for those in your life who will need access to it after a sexual assault. It has a shelf life of 4 years.

It pains me to suggest this, but that may be our national reality very soon.
