This is a great essay by @jdgtranen on a term I talked about with @strongthomas all summer: erotophobia. Understanding this is key to the understanding sex exceptionalism in public health responses, carcerality and policy, especially IRT HIV & MPX

The anthropologist, my friend and frequent interlocutor @strongthomas, asked the question that became the headline of this essay: Is Sex worth the risk? Is it worth any risk to any viral exposure? Bc we are told constantly that the economy is worth the risk to our lives.

THREAD: In a good problem to have, The Viral Underclass got a lot of press this week. But I also wrote an original @guardian essay the day after the book dropped that got a little overlooked, and I want to share about it again bc I think it's important. theguardian.com/world/2022/a…

Sarah Schulman on conflict and communication today: 'I have only made it all worse by now being in the arena of... “too much” when in reality it is frankly & literally not enough. 5 texts are culturally stigmatized as excessive, but they only cover a minute or 2 of conversation.'

Day 15 of MonkeyPox. Thought I would share a video so you all could see how they look now. I’m also calling for viewers to show compassion and kindness to people going through this… it could be you. People can feel alone in this. Reach out and be a friend if you know someone!
