#1 Advent of SexEd

Ein Podcast zur Geschichte der AIDS-Krise aus der Perspektive der queeren Szene. Die Episoden machen traurig, inspirieren, sind super lehrreich und erinneren mich an Vorkämpfer*innen sexueller Gesundheit und Bildung!

Unbedingte Hörempfehlung!

🫧 Das fühlt sich irgendwie gut an.

🌱 Gestern war mein 1. Mal mit dem Workshop im Rahmen meiner Weiterbildung in Sexualpädagogik.

🧨 Spannend zu sehen, wie ein gut geplanter Workshop ankommt, welche Gespräche angeregt werden und wie sich die Dynamik in der Gruppe entfaltet.
Ich sitze an der rechten Seite mit einem Becher Kaffee in der Hand und lächle in die Kamera. In der Mitte stehen 2 Tische mit Beamer und Laptop. An die Wand ist eine Präsentations-Folie projiziert mit dem Text: Das fühlt sich irgendwie gut an! Ein Workshop zum Sprechen über Sex mit Neugier, Lust und Grenzen. Workshop mit Marie Kochsiek, Sommer 2025 Ein Tisch mit frischen Tassen, Lichterkette, Spendendose und 2 Teller mit Keksen mit und ohne Schoko. 8 ausgelegte Mini-Zines, farbig auf weißem Papier. Auf dem Cover eine pinke Illustration mit dem Titel: JA! VIELLEICHT? NEIN. NACHDENKEN ÜBER SEX MIT NEUGIER, LUST & LIMITS. Auf der Rückseite eine ähnliche Illustration mit dem Text: WENN DIR DIESES ZINE GEFÄLLT, KOPIER’S! BEHALTE DIE GUTEN UND WICHTIGEN DINGE NICHT FÜR DICH ALLEIN. TEXT VON MARIE KOCHSIEK. ILLUSTRATIONEN VON SUSAN WILKINSON VIA UNSPLASH.

Führung am und um das 🏢 Haus der Statistik 🧮 am Alex.

Auf einem recht großen Gelände wird in 3-8 Jahren sehr viel tolles geboren: sozial, kulturell, nachhaltig, und das ohne Sorge vor Rausschmiss also langfristig!

Exciting times ahead für Berlin und speziell auch für den Alex / Allesandersplatz 🪩

Another highlight was the team of organizers that helped give birth to this panel, extremely well organized and supportive. And look what a beautiful tampon inspired thank you note we received at the end, illustration by @berceiou.

Hearing the closing remarks @cpdpconferences.bsky.social of the European Data Protection Supervisor Wojciech Wiewiórowski highlighting the panel about period tracking apps I participated in today is a new one for me.

I am very happy to contribute to the ongoing conversations that need to happen!

i was 13 years old and it was winter, holidays even. i had an early morning appointment at the hairdresser. i was visiting my grandmother, where i often stayed with my mother and my 2 brothers at weekends and during school vacations. that day, when i left the house, my brothers were still sleeping. we had watched tv late into the night the day before. when i came back from the appointment, i was told that my mother had taken my little brother to the hospital. it wasn’t clear why. no one knew much. he died that day. i didn’t see him again. it’s the only hairdresser appointment i can still remember with a date.

i don’t like going ✂️ to the hairdresser

a short story written by me. jan 10th
i have long hair and i like to appear feminine. i see my dentist and gynecologist regularly. i wash my hair often and take good care of it, i guess. i almost never go to the hairdresser. i know it’s a thing people do. i remember going there a lot as a child and feeling so pretty and cool afterwards with a new haircut or hairstyle. recently i realized why i might not like going to the hairdresser so much anymore. now it seems the most obvious thing.
