Wed, Jul. 14th, 2021 01:59 amI think I only have one or two more of these, promise.
Watts the Safeword is a kink friendly, sex education channel. Educational with lots of puns.

“Trans” as an Umbrella Term
Wed, Jul. 14th, 2021 01:23 amNope, it's not Pride month anymore, but I am going to keep slowly posting Council of Geek's educational shorts until I get them all.
Kink at Pride Part 2
Mon, Jun. 28th, 2021 01:17 amLike everything else, I got behind on these posts (thank you anxiety, being sick, and my back going out). I'm not sure if I am going to try to crunch them in before the end of June or if I am going to let some of them drift into July, just because I have other things to post as well and I don't like putting up more then four posts a day.
This video is by Jessie Gender. She tries to "talk about the nuance in the nerdy," and focuses her video essays on "issues facing the LGBTQ community, transgender specific community, women, nonbinary and autistic folks as well as other social and political issues through and within geek topics." Her videos try to keep the conversation constructive, positive, and educational, with a bit of humor and silliness. Her discussion of kink at Pride focuses on the history of kink at Pride and why it has always been there, as well as addressing some of the main arguments against it. She has a long list of citations for the video in its description box on YouTube, and, if you feel so inclined, there are some constructive conversations in the comment section there as well.

Kink at Pride Part 1
Thu, Jun. 3rd, 2021 03:55 amKink at Pride is a hot button issue every year, but this year it seems to be especially prevalent. To that end, I will be sharing videos by members of the kink and LGBTQ+ community. This one is by Kat Blaque. She is an illustrator, animator, and public speaker who uses her “personal experiences to teach life lessons and start conversations” via videos and podcasts. Her perspective is a little different from some of the others I will be sharing in that, while she is trans, she does not see herself as part of the queer community and does not go to Pride. But I find her perspective as an active BDSMer valuable.
Happy Pride Month
Thu, Jun. 3rd, 2021 03:07 amNormally, I post Pride month centric stuff in another space, but this year, I thought I try doing it over here.
Here is Council of Geeks' short on why Pride month is in June:
