Facts v. Feelings
<p>If there were ever an occasion to talk about Audre Lorde’s “Uses of the Erotic” it’s now. In a highly political episode, we address the recent leaked Supreme Court opinion that threatens to overturn Roe v. Wade. This moment in history reminds us that our access to pleasure is intimately linked to the way that the State regulates our bodies. Audre Lorde shows us that erotic power is a source for change, and at a time when we’re searching for the energy to fight for liberation, her wisdom is power.</p> <p>Resources</p> <p>Roe v.

Bumping Energies
<p>Over here we don’t bump uglies, we bump energies. We’re breaking down how our culture defines sex. What is it? How do we name it? And how do our articulations of sex affect the type of sex we have? We also talk about the infamous Oscar slap, Jerrod Carmichael’s “Rothaniel” special, and the newest season of Atlanta.</p> <p>Support Us</p> <p>Support our show with a one-time payment or a small monthly donation to help us continue making impactful, transformative content.</p> <p><a href="https://linktr.ee/politicsofpleasurepod"><u>https://linktr.ee/politicsofpleasurepod</u></a></p> <p>Support Desiree Jaha directly: <a href="https://linktr.ee/desireejaha"><u>https://linktr.ee/desireejaha</u></a></p> <p>Resources</p> <p>Watch the Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais, Seinfield, Louis C.K. clip: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il1sgQUtYs8"><u>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il1sgQUtYs8</u></a></p> <p>Follow along with the Gender Unicorn: <a href="https://www.transhealthsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/The-Gender-Unicorn.pdf"><u>https://www.transhealthsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/The-Gender-Unicorn.pdf</u></a></p> <p>Follow Basit on IG: @basitcom</p> <p>Follow Basit’s production collective Legacy on IG: @legacy.bqpc</p> <p>Donate to Trans Student Educational Resources (TSER): <a href="https://transstudent.org/donate/"><u>https://transstudent.org/donate/</u></a></p> <p>Adrienne Maree Brown’s Spell Casting Exercise (Irresistible Podcast ): <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/2FTEtK7u98pRsQPc0FlSzd?si=2d10ab8c644142fd"><u>https://open.spotify.com/episode/2FTEtK7u98pRsQPc0FlSzd?si=2d10ab8c644142fd</u></a></p> <p>Pleasure Center</p> <p>Starts at: 1:27:55</p>
