episode 24: I love both nature and the outdoors
"1. Nature Brings Us To Our Senses One of the unique things about nature is that it pulls us into experiencing sensory awareness, rather than being caught up in our thoughts. When your senses are captivated by the beauty and mystery of a natural setting, it slows all the noise of mental chatter that normally clogs up our attention...
episode 25: I am pro-reproductive rights 100 part 3 (final part)
"Reproductive justice is a framework conceived of by women of color, defined by the core belief that every woman has the right to decide if and when she will have a baby, to decide if she will not have a baby, and to parent the children she already has in a safe environment and healthy community, without the threat of either interpersonal or state violence...
episode 26: I am not squeaky clean (there's nothing G-rated about me)
"2. Power and control. Swearing can give us a greater sense of power and control over a bad situation. By swearing, we show, if only to ourselves, that we are not passive victims but empowered to react and fight back. This can boost our confidence and self-esteem and motivate and mobilize us to take corrective action. As Mark Twain put it, 'When angry, count to four; when very angry, swear.'
3. Non-violent retribution...

episode 29: Nina Hartley, a porn legend's view on why she still does porn in her late 50's
"I got started in San Francisco in 1982 as a house dancer first at the Sutter Cinema, which is now defunct, and later on at the Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theatre. I was dancing one day a week and going to nursing school five days a week. Dancing was the culmination of a longtime history of public exhibitionism. I'm a '70s feminist, and I was told I had the right to live my life sexually on my terms and the responsibility to do it in a safe manner. For me stripping was that way...
episode 30: Porn stars are people
"Focus on Foreplay—but Don’t Treat It Like a Deleted Scene As Hart puts it, most of the porn you’re seeing is very penis-centric—so if you’re planning to get tips on pleasing the ladies, porn might not be the best source material. Most porn, Hart says, is just “two minutes of foreplay and then, ‘We’re just f*cking now.’ That’s not what a lot of people’s bodies can do.” What you’re often missing is the behind-the-scenes aspects of porn production...

"Dr. Kate Lister invited five contributors to share their diverse, profound and often heartbreaking personal experiences of sex work, with each reflecting upon how the stigma of sex work can have a significant impact on sex workers’ mental health, on their place in society and on their physical safety. The result is a series of unique perspectives that question the political and societal reluctance to legitimize sex work and how it might better protect those who are the most vulnerable...
