Sooo hey,

I know I just made an encouraging Tumblr Blaze post to people, that is intended for an all-ages audience. (And please know, yes I’m reading y'all’s tags, and thank you for the sweet things you say, and I’m so happy that my How to Survive the End of the World post hit your dashes when you needed it, I hope it’s been a balm against whatever you’re weathering)

However. My blog (and a lot of my art) is 18+. I’m a sex educator, erotic artist and erotica writer, please be aware if you scroll through my posts, those things will come up.

As such, minors, please don’t follow me! While being interested in sex-related subjects is nothing to be ashamed of and is common at all ages, interacting with adults who are creating sexual content online is dangerous for you and for us.

Also, if you are looking for access to sex ed resources (I’m writing out the websites, but they are not linked here):

Scarlateen.com is a comprehensive sex-ed site for teens and early adults, I find it very easy and not scary to read stuff on there, and appreciate that the site is LGBTQ inclusive (though the site can be kinda tricky to navigate)

amaze.org offers sex-ed information for tweens and younger teens (aimed at folks 10-14) and breaks things down in the form of animated videos that are really cutely animated

loveisrespect.org isn’t necessarily focused on sex-ed, but more focused on relationship education and helping teens figure out how to have healthy boundaries and navigate their relationships

I became a sex educator in part because I didn’t have access to sex ed and so ended up learning from less than reliable sources. Having to struggle and feel scared in those ways made me passionate about making sure more knowledge gets into the hands of more people. If you’re someone who hasn’t had access to sex-ed yourself, I hope these resources are helpful.

Also, I’m pretty far left by US standards, so maybe 20% of this blog is yelling about police defunding, unions, queer liberation, and unmaking white supremacy.

The rest is shitposting, cropped images of my smutty art, links to my fic, reblogging pics of Nightcrawler and Toad from Marvel, and some other nonsense spackling the gaps in between.

Figured it’d be important for me to give this blog a tin label since I don’t know what “x amount of people reached” will translate to in terms of folks wandering all the way here.

America’s puritanical, homophobic, anti-vaccination, anti-sex education, “morality” mentality is killing people.

This information could literally save someone’s life. Please share.

HPV is linked to cancer wherever it's found. We associate it with cervical cancer, but it's linked to uterine, ovarian, throat, tongue, mouth, penile, testicular, AND anal cancers.

The vaccine has never been linked to increased sex in teenagers or unsafe sex practices.

Please, please get vaccinated.

reblogging again to say that i (39f) asked my gynecologist and got the vaccine because of this post! thanks, op! i had never asked before bc i was previously considered "too old." and i don't think they would've asked me had i not spoken up! i know it can be difficult to self-advocate in the doctor's office but i strongly encourage ppl to always ask questions! my doc (very nice lady whose brain seems to be going 1000 miles a minute so i don't rly hold it against her for not asking me) was like, "GREAT, YES, THANK YOU for asking" and was glad to hear that this helpful post was circulating!

It makes me so angry that the conservative Christians who claim this encourages sex have tried so hard to prevent it from being available. We have a vaccine that prevents a form of CANCER and you don't want to protect kids from that?

Because even if you've never had a sex partner apart from your spouse, who you are married to, and do all the things these people say everyone should do with Waiting For Marriage and so forth, you can still get an STI, if the person you are married to has had another partner. Or if they cheat on you. Or if you're sexually assaulted.

So for as much as they harp on Sexual Temptation and so forth, you'd fucking think they'd acknowledge that yeah sometimes bad things happen to people for reasons that are outside of their control.

Except really they just hate people and think bad things that happen to you must be your fault, because God didn't like you anyway.

Anyway, yes, get the HPV vaccine.

not enough people understand that disability benefits are basically what it would look like if you turned "if you're too sick for school you're too sick for video games" into an official public policy

the usa shouldn’t be the political and economic focal point of the entire fucking planet, actually

I just learned that my medication is out of stock COUNTRYWIDE because America is restricting how much ADHD medication Australia is allowed to make... and they're just flat out ignoring Australia's request to meet to negotiate more.

The severe shortage of Vyvanse prompted multiple Australian groups to write to the US DEA, pleading with the officials to lift production limits of lisdexamfetamine to ease the pressure on patients. A letter obtained by the ABC also reveals that late last year, the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists asked for an urgent meeting with the administration in the hopes of shoring up medication supply. The president of the college, Dr Elizabeth Moore, said the DEA controlled how much Vyvanse was allotted to Australia and New Zealand. "We've written to the DEA to seek advice from them as to whether or not they can in fact increase the amount that is coming to Australia and New Zealand," Dr Moore said.ALT
But in January the DEA dashed any hopes of a supply-side solution, quietly publishing a notice on a US federal government website denying pleas to increase manufacturing quotas of the drug. "The quantities which will be produced in 2024 will be sufficient to meet the growing medical usage in domestic and foreign markets." the DEA said.ALT

America's Federal Trade Commission is taking public comments on this exact situation right now.

If you've been affected by the actions of US-based regulation in regards to accessing your ADHD medication, please submit a comment! Even if you're outside of the United States. The fact this has such far-reaching consequences is something that needs to be known!

You have until April 15th, 2024 to submit a comment. Please make your voice heard!

Reblogging because I know multiple people in the UK who have been fucked by this, myself included

Like, it's not just if you're on Vyvanse, there's a knock-on effect of people being moved to other medications and causing more shortages, even of non-stimulant meds, and ADHD clinics (which already had massive waiting lists) are having to spend time moving people onto other meds or monitoring people as they come off and on their meds with availability

I’m really glad that Aaron’s self-immolation for Palestine is getting attention, but on November 8th there was also a Congolese man who did the same thing for the genocide happening in the DRC. From what I read in the article above, his fate and identity are unknown but I think his story should be getting equal amount of traction and I haven’t really seen anyone talking about it on Tumblr specifically yet.
