  • Looking over contract for #KFASF at Women's Building on Mar 21. Almost there but I'm still $290 short. Can you donate at http://tr.im/kfasf? #
  • http://j.mp/seeiwhc isn't leading cuz competition got 500+ votes in 1 day. Oh, Internet. :) S'ok; we're gonna do SEE anyway. /cc @audaciaray #
  • @audaciaray Ya, I know. =) Frankly, I'm thrilled y'all have managed to get us actively sharing our sexual health promotion ideas! GREAT JOB! in reply to audaciaray #
  • Working on my next presentation, possibly for #5MoF @Noisebridge in a couple weeks. Working title: "Community Organizing FOR GREAT JUSTICE!" #
  • Dear all, pls wish @helio_girl health, happiness. She's feverish & slept all day. 1 way to show love: vote for SEE at http://j.mp/seeiwhc :) #
  • Shout outs to @mrsexsmith, @saraeileen, Rachel, and Elizabeth for their donations to #KFASF We're only $220 away now! http://tr.im/kfasf :D #
  • @heathercorinna @sarahdopp Sounds like "driven" to me. Could be manic but I do exactly the same thing & I'm better now that I'm off my meds. in reply to heathercorinna #
  • Are you (or do you want to be) involved in a #social justice #community project? If so, what's most important to you about it & why? Thx. :) #
  • @heathercorinna @sarahdopp Wait…there's a difference between "driven" & "completely off your nut?" Why did nobody tell me this years ago? :) in reply to heathercorinna #
  • Switching frm 5MoF.net talk to long-brewing blog post on submissive masculinity was surprisingly productive. Good to have multiple projects. #
  • @kristina_lloyd You did a fantastic job w/Erotica Cover Watch. I've learned lots from you. Please let us into what your new projects are! :) in reply to kristina_lloyd #

    /via @sfgate #
  • Tried+failed to wake in time for 1st session @SexTech. Feel like zombie…will wander in late looking for coffee. #WhyAreConsSoEarly #SexTech #
  • ♺ @helio_girl: #Youth @SexTech share where they learn abt #sex Classroom not a focus. THAT is SexEdEverywhere: http://j.mp/seeiwhc #SexTech #
  • @support Something screwy: with 2 accts open in diff browser if I post from Acct A, Acct B receives+repeats it automatically! WTF? #Identica #
  • Made it to a packed room halfway thru "Sex Ed and #Tech quot; session @SexTech. Fueled by coffee & bagels, I'm feeling a bit more human. #SexTech #
  • Helping youth "develop sexual autonomy" critical; eg teaching abt capability for pleasure increases contraceptive use/cc @HiOhMegan #SexTech #
  • Awesome example of #sexual #health PSA on #YouTube http://youtube.com/watch?v=rPeaJBWXijo "Protect yourself" is message to #youth #SexTech #
  • 2min #video on #sexting http://youtube.com/watch?v=-e5WQr8BU7Y in which one video links to another for multiple-choice Q&A. Clever! #SexTech #
  • #Menstruation #animation http://youtube.com/watch?v=pQ4QOQdnifk very FAST way to get the point across to #youth on #sexual #health. #SexTech #
  • LOVED "New Direction in Sex Ed & Technology"! Exercise: we story-boarded 2min Youtube video! TOTALLY useful for http://j.mp/seeiwhc #SexTech #
  • @thesexademic I thought anyone born after 1980 is a "Gen Y" OR Millenial. I'm 1984: We're the uber-special Orwellian Generation. :) #SexTech in reply to thesexademic #
  • Today's #SexTech keynote, @mblinder gives #social #media advice. Basics: do 1 thing well, cross-promote. Speaking of: check out @KinkForAll! #
  • ♺ @KinkForAll #KFASF is CONFIRMED for Mar 21 at Women's Building! WomensBuilding.org Pls RT, sign up & donate if you can: http://tr.im/kfasf #
  • #Social #media in 6 words: "Right People, Right Message, Right Message," @mblinder says at #SexTech Like all marketing plus engagement, no? #
  • "Consciousness of who you are coming thru in an authentic way." Bizspeak translation: headline all your honest content. Be BOLD. ;) #SexTech #
  • My own social media tip: ALWAYS include call to action, implicit or not, when on promotion campaign. AWALYS. SA: http://ur1.ca/nscw #SexTech #
  • Dur #social #media in 6 words update http://ur1.ca/nsd2 should've read: "Right People, Right Message, Right Resources." #NeedCoffee #SexTech #
  • "Social media is like teen sex. Every1 wants to do it but no 1 knows how & when it's done they're disappointed." Why? @Kanter asks. #SexTech #
  • "Fondling the hammer. Does anyone1 know what that is?" THE HAMMER IS MY PENIS. (Say hi to viral marketing—I'm Joss Whedon's bitch.) #SexTech #
  • Great point: "There's nothing wrong w/selective strategy." Start slowly+incrementally, w/1 site (Twitter, your own blog, whatever.) #SexTech #
  • Change the culture inside of organization to learn from failure, @Kanter urges. YES! We learn mistakes=failure in school. NOT TRUE. #SexTech #
  • Wow look at how many tweets @Kanter's speech is getting! Is it WRITTEN for that in mind? Short sentences+sound bytes=easy to tweet. #SexTech #
  • "I spend time tuning my network," @Kanter says. This means UNFOLLOW ppl too. Srsly, it's useful. I unfollow lot; it's not personal. #SexTech #
  • Another tip from me: When live blogging, don't just repeat, add own opinion to what you're posting. Like: "@Kanter's good speaker!" #SexTech #
  • Now @mrbobbyjones speaks on #youth #activism. Early point: "They used #tech of the day; whatever avail!" It's NOT abt tech but msg. #SexTech #
  • Social activism in America by #youth of this gen started w/ an election in 2000 they felt was stolen from them, @mrbobbyjones says. #SexTech #
  • @kanter You just changed how I write speeches like http://vimeo.com/9304697 and http://vimeo.com/7783159 for the better. Thanks! :) #SexTech in reply to kanter #
  • Food-pyramid-like slide of "#media consumption" is fantastic visual analogy, great use of slides w/o bullet points to make a point. #SexTech #
  • "Most impactful [social] movements have a combination of online & offline part." Yes. Rally+organize face-to-face, not just online. #SexTech #
  • To adults "You have greatest asset in history of social activation: #youth energy driven by social media." Nice phrase: activation. #SexTech #
  • Can contests bring big results? @rtw003 presents conceptual framework at #SexTech Make it an intellectual challenge: skill+time=innovation. #
  • "Your idea could start a movement," on @rtw003's slide means DON'T HOARD YOUR IDEA. Share. You don't win w/o execution even w/idea. #SexTech #
  • #KFASF has a venue for Mar 21 but needs ~$600 more funds to make it real! Sign up+donate at http://tr.im/kfasf Bring sex ed uncons NATIONAL. #
  • Important for #social #media: "Don't automate," @Kanter says during #SexTech panel Q&A. On that note, http://ur1.ca/my6u unlink your #feeds #
  • My proposal for IWHC is SexEdEverywhere, also a vid contest: http://j.mp/seeiwhc Prizes will only be $100, but why not start small? #SexTech #
  • Can't figure out what next #SexTech breakout session I wanna go to. MSM & Technology? I'm A…Student Peer Sex Educator? Gah! SO MUCH AWESOME. #
  • Chose to attend #SexTech "I'm A…Student Peer Sex Educator" panel since @vniow wants to go to the other one & will share notes w/me later. :) #
  • Former ISIS-inc.org intern, Natalie, tells us of how she single-handedly added comprehensive #sex #education at her high school. :) #SexTech #
  • How can students get involved? "Stress that #SEX IS SOMETHING PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN." Even if they don't agree, talk about THAT! #SexTech #
  • Ian O'Brien talks abt Sexland, a campus #sexual #health fair at Humboldt State U. It's rural but liberal. Good to know those exist. #SexTech #
  • "We want to expose people to non hetereosexual identity+let them explore their own identity." 'Exposure' is charged word but vital. #SexTech #
  • "There are more ways to express your #sexuality more than just who you're having sex with." Who you fuck is not the primary factor! #SexTech #
  • "It's not just abt sex," Ian says. "There's heavy focus on…all realms of life." So key! Not enough sex-related DE-sexualized space! #SexTech #
  • Both peer #sex educators have called out to their administrators LOTS. This's VERY important: #youth often disempowered w/o allies. #SexTech #
  • "We don't have a budget," Ian says of Sexland. Also how @KinkForAll works. #KFASF is MAR 21 but needs donations: http://tr.im/kfasf #SexTech #
  • @chocojo Yes, quite a number of references to gender identity, if not explicitly #transgender still lots about gender variance. :) #SexTech in reply to chocojo #
  • Q: "How do you support knowledge transfer in high-turnover env like college?" A: "Lot from academic dept directly." Not common IME. #SexTech #
  • Body image issue affects our sexual decision making, Mira Friedman says at #SexTech peer panel. Callback to need to develop sexual autonomy. #
  • Now, student peer #sex educators from, PASSHEN "Peers Advocating #Safety and Sexual #Health Now" speaking about educating freshmen. #SexTech #
  • "Our [sexual health+education] curriculum is completely made by the students. Students know what other students want to hear most." #SexTech #
  • Making curriculum ourselves "gives us lot of power to make decisions…it's factual+researched," based on questions frm other #youth #SexTech #
  • "We're not allowed to distribute condoms on campus so we stand on the other side of the street & give them out there." Ha! So COOL! #SexTech #
  • What do peer #sex educators get out doing this? "We get amazing sense of knowledge, public speaking #skills class credit and FUN." #SexTech #
  • "Best way to teach #students is thru other student; not telling them you need to do this or that. We get the whole class involved." #SexTech #
  • "With peers, it's easier for #youth to be open. #Sex is looked down on" by adult. YES! See Sexual Adultism http://vimeo.com/7783159 #SexTech #
  • "The most common symptom of having an #STI is having no symptom at all." peer #sex educators show us example of learning exercises. #SexTech #
  • "Don't just say myth or fact. We want explanation so #youth can see WHY." Good #sex #education based on same principle as other ed. #SexTech #
  • @forteller I'm listening to students from PASSHEN. They're in Berkley Uni I think? Amazing it's not okay to give out condoms there. #SexTech in reply to forteller #
  • After PASSHEN condom demo, audience member says: "I actually learned something & I'm 32. That was most informative demo I've seen!" #SexTech #
  • I. Love. This. Sign. :D ♺ @sarahdopp: Woah! #SexTech made their #bathrooms #gender #neutral today! Win! http://yfrog.com/auibtfj /via @vniow #
  • Along with #condoms #STI & other safer sex methodologies, there's program called TREAL that talks abt lust/love, etc. Link anyone? #SexTech #
  • Pass it on!♺ @KinkForAll #KFASF CONFIRMED but needs $600 in funds. Help bring #sexuality #unconferences national! Donate: http://ur1.ca/nsqe #
  • @csarven @evan @support Thx for your response. I've forced-reloaded, hasn't happened again (yet). Will keep you posted if it does. #Identica #
  • Key msg: "We're not advocating for #youth #sex we're just informing abt safety." Good point; how to de-politicize education/sex ed? #SexTech #
  • ♺ @SarahFrantz: @maymaym ANY info about sex to their mind is advocating for #sex Can't depoliticize; it's up to them not you, IMO. #SexTech #
  • Totally missed #SexTech lunch by talking to the awesome folks from Humboldt State Uni. Gonna grab some food & stay quiet for bit for a rest. #
  • Skipping #SexTech talk from academics as it exemplified everything I dislike re academia. Moving to I'm A Health Educator & Librarian panel. #
  • "If books are constantly missing or stolen, we know that's a key topic for ppl; maybe they don't want it on their #library record." #SexTech #
  • @crheinga MSM & Technology one. I appreciate the topic & feel personal connection but can't stand dry lectures w/bullet point slides. Sorry. in reply to crheinga #
  • A "school is really a microcosm of the broader community." Very true; this is why #education is at the heart of healthy #sexuality #SexTech #
  • "Even though you may not come into the #library here are some resources for you." A librarian is NOT a receptionist at a #library #SexTech #
  • "We don't give advice. As #librarians we know where to find info but not off top of our heads. Libraries are judgement-free zones." #SexTech #
  • #CIPA mandatory filtering for libraries, is REQUIRED to receive federal funding. Filter often too broad. BIG issue for librarians. #SexTech #
  • For more on libraries & #Internet #filters: http://infoandthelibrary.org. CHECK IT OUT. Crowdsourced research study by @audaciaray. #SexTech #
  • Libraries have a built-in audience. Useful for researchers, educators, and anyone else who wants to reach #youth esp. poorer kids. #SexTech #
  • Great point: Librarians are often neutral support unlike teachers who grade work & so forth. I avoided classroom teachers as a kid. #SexTech #
  • More information on #youth & #libraries http://ala.org/yalsa Speakers encourage you to cross-polinate/collaborate online—it's FREE. #SexTech #
  • GOOD POINT. ♺ DukeBrady: @JessieNYC Here's something they don't teach in #school "The #History Of #Censorship quot;. Now why is that? #education #
  • Joyce Libson of SWAP: http://bit.ly/98yn44 gov't program, but not self-hosted. No funding/expertise! #SexTech #
  • "It'll be another year b4 we can move it to own server. That may not sound like big deal to you in #tech but I assure you, it is." #SexTech #
  • "It's hard to constantly invite people to come to the site." I noticed lack of RSS on SWAP site. New tech reaches OUT, not back in. #SexTech #
  • Despite lack of tech savvy implementations, many gov't, community program sites PACKED with useful info. How can we help spread it? #SexTech #
  • 3 times in 3 diff sessions speakers mentioned "creating toolkits" for similar purposes. Are they all reinventing wheels? Might be…. #SexTech #
  • Lacking global #directory reinventing wheels is constant problem. #Tech community shares #infrastructure instead of rebuilding it. #SexTech #
  • What could #infrastructure to support sharing info about small gov't, library, school, #community center #resources w/eachother be? #SexTech #
  • "One of the ways we were able to [launch this site] was by avoiding the rigamaroll of government approval." :-O System need fixing! #SexTech #
  • If you find blocked site in #library lodge formal complaints! It's much better if YOU complain loudly than when librarians try. ;) #SexTech #
  • If library/local govt admins are not unblocking sites after you complain GO PUBLIC & pressure them with public awareness campaigns. #SexTech #
  • Super huge thx to @bigolpoofter for 1st $50 donation to #KFASF :D Get details about March 21st event in #SF & donate at: http://tr.im/kfasf #
  • Librarians don't know what's blocked; can't see local blacklist or check all sites. HELP YOUR LIBRARY: http://infoandthelibrary.org #SexTech #
  • Last #SexTech breakout session I chose to go to is "I'm A… #Gender Studies Researcher" being run by Catherine Ashcraft from http://NCWIT.org #
  • Beginning w/multiple-choice question and waiting for everyone in the room to answer is cute but seems like it wasted a lot of time. #SexTech #
  • Classroom style still "cute," but I'm frustrated. Why go over all this? Just say women's participation in CS is down & get on w/it. #SexTech #
  • Okay, I'm sorry, but this #SexTech session is so painfully slow, I'm just gonna ditch it. This is exactly why I dropped out of school. Augh. #
  • WOW! #KFASF raised $250 in 1 day w/about 3 tweets! Live example of social media at work, #SexTech Info: http://tr.im/kfasf /via @KinkForAll #
  • Diving into @KinkForAll work for remainder of #SexTech breakouts. I'm sure I'm missing something good but I can't find it & I've work to do. #
  • More info on Megan Andelloux (@HiOhMegan) and Center for Sexual Pleasure & Health (@TheCSPH): http://ur1.ca/ntg4 http://ur1.ca/ntg2 #SexTech #
  • Nicaragua abortion law prevent life-saving cancer treatment to pregnant woman. Uh…fetus dies if she dies! http://icio.us/2wtu4y ♺ @KinkOnTap #
  • Many sexual health programs help teen who want to stay abstinent deal w/peer pressure but religious right doesn't return the favor. #SexTech #
  • Backchannel an important part of conversation. Private+public, lot of option. Learn how to talk while ppl tweet: http://ur1.ca/ntj3 #SexTech #
  • #SexTech = AMAZING; so worth $175 I paid even tho content will be free online: http://SexTech.org THX: @DebISIS & all at http://ISIS-inc.org #
  • Excited to have spoke w/@BillTaverner re SexEdEverywhere at #SexTech & see more votes: http://j.mp/seeiwhc 1 click to help me win $1k grant! #
  • LOL! That's awesome. :) ♺ @helio_girl: College friends call @KinkOnTap mix of 4-Chan, South Park & Jon Stewart. What do you think, @maymaym? #
  • Home now, but so fucking exhausted after #SexTech I'll treat myself to take-out dinner. Missed my tweets? Full archive at http://ur1.ca/ntuo #
  • @veduncan I use an experimental feature of #Twitter Tools #plugin for @WordPress. Needs some baby sitting, tho. Get it at http://ur1.ca/ntx0 in reply to veduncan #

  • Up "early" for #SexTech Gotta admit…I'm nervous. Usually I go to tech cons; this time I'll avoid tech track in favor of stuff I don't know. #
  • In Alcazar Theatre for #SexTech I they're playing what sound like entrant tapes to http://SayWhatContest.org. Good backdrop for setting up. #
  • #SexTech #039;s sponsored by NIMH. "It means lot to us to have a federal body supporting our work on behalf of #youth quot; Deb Levine says @ keynote. #
  • "We look at what's popular in #youth culture & insert sexual health into it instd of making prgrms+waiting for them to come to us." #SexTech #
  • Deb Levine's keynote: "Sex is #sex and information is information; we need to inform #youth so that they can be critical thinkers." #SexTech #
  • "To the advocates: give up these town hall meetings, cuz #youth don't go to town hall mtings." Good common-sense #education advice. #SexTech #
  • Advice from youth panelists: Don't just say don't do it, tell me why. Just cuz you have a question doesn't mean you're having #sex #SexTech #
  • Of the 6 #youth panelists, all of them were told "Don't have sex." Only 2 were given any advice abt when/how to say "yes" to #sex #SexTech #
  • Q: Did you get #sex ed at school? A: "Well you could SAY I did. I learned more from my neighbor (about sex) than I did at #school " #SexTech #
  • Separating girls and boys in #sex #education class? "Just cuz we have different parts doesn't mean we shouldn't know about others!" #SexTech #
  • Youth panelist: "Sex education should cover everything that has to do w/our sexuality. Like what the hell are fetishes?!" APPLAUSE. #SexTech #
  • Q: Should there be #sex ed abt homosexuality right beside heterosexuality? A: "I say why not? They put us all in the same classes!" #SexTech #
  • Asked Q to #SexTech #youth panelists: "What incentivizes you to speak up & be public?" Sad my followup "how do you deal w/that got lost." :\ #
  • My Q: "What incentivizes you to speak up about #sex " All #youth gave same answers as adults: legitimize my identity & help others. #SexTech #
  • During keynote, @DebISIS urged #learning from brand marketers. Inspirational for projects like SexEdEverywhere: http://j.mp/seeiwhc #SexTech #
  • Earlier, #youth panelist said: "I'm a fan of the Internet" (to learn about #sex , "but [many sites] are so lengthy & full of text." #SexTech #
  • Rhodes Klement of @poptech intros Innovation Award & calls back to @DebISIS: "We teach ppl how to use brand" to spread #sex ed msg. #SexTech #
  • 497 now! ♺ @helio_girl: Wow, #SexEdEverywhere has 495 votes. Spread the word and head to http://j.mp/seeiwhc to help us reach 500 & beyond! #
  • Meandering Nob Hill w/ @vniow during #SexTech #039;s (long) lunch break. Thinking of going to "Youth First: The Early Adopters" breakout session. #
  • Brainstorming on #marketing & branding for #sexual health & rights w/@vniow. Showing her http://j.mp/seeiwhc Eager for #SexTech to continue! #
  • Not used to slow pace of #SexTech used to fast-paced stuff like @KinkForAll. Speaking of, #KFASF on Mar 21 @SexTech ppl! http://tr.im/kfasf #
  • Met up with @sarahdopp already! w00t! Now, #Youth First session @SexTech starts w/ intros from people who do http://TeenClinic.org. #SexTech #
  • "Youth live as much of their lives online as they do offline" TeenClinic.org speakers say. Their site is pretty cool. Check it out. #SexTech #
  • "We should involve #youth in our #tech outreach," Danielle Watters says abt @TeenClinic. "We built this site as a local #resource " #SexTech #
  • Emily Vanatta of @TeenClinic "We were nervous…but #youth gave awesome feedback!" Soliciting AUDIENCE—not just USER—feedback is key! #SexTech #
  • Hm. @TeenClinic gave out "underground" msgs to #youth via "Where's Clappy?" stickers; benefit = adults DIDN'T KNOW what it was abt. #SexTech #
  • Q: Do you get diff Qs from txt than focus groups? A: "We get lots of anal #sex taboo Qs, & that shows what school isn't teaching." #SexTech #
  • Private #sex Q&A lines run by @TeenClinic like anon SMS services gets "much more personal questions" than group #education methods. #SexTech #
  • "You want to be #gender blind" when it comes to #sex ed, "but we feel that having male leadership is important." Yes very much pls! #SexTech #
  • Interested in all these #SexTech notices from me? See what I'm seeing live at http://justgood.tv Great #tech & #sex #education intersection! #
  • Thx to whoever just pushed SexEdEverywhere proposal over 500 votes! Have you voted yet? http://j.mp/seeiwhc What about you, #SexTech ppl? :) #
  • Powerpoint-style talk by http://HealthShack.info is losing me a little bit. Seems really important but somehow I'm not able to grok much. :( #
  • So, is http://HealthShack.info like home care provider, running "site visits" & "wholistic health" #education w/ sex-positive bent? #SexTech #
  • #Youth concerned their health records are not confidential, speakers from HealthShack.info, a "Personal Health Record" system, say. #SexTech #
  • Aw thx! :D ♺ @clarissethorn I'm always fangirling @maymaym, favorite (other) #BDSM activist, but he's so great! Vote for http://j.mp/seeiwhc #
  • "Numbers are everything" HealthShack.info says. Without accurate stats proving efficacy we can't fund public #sex #health projects! #SexTech #
  • Even #homeless #youth find way to get #Internet access for online #health services, HealthShack.info folks say. Rly? Or only in CA? #SexTech #
  • Library FTW. ♺ @thelinecampaign: Where/how do #homeless #youth get access to the Internet? Public #libraries & youth centers are one option. #
  • "Easier access to condoms needed," especially for #youth living in rural areas. In towns w/100-200 ppl, embarrassment is BIG issue. #SexTech #
  • Interesting! Many #sex ed campaigns start w/concept of "less threatening" cartoon but end up reflecting intended audience w/photos! #SexTech #
  • "Don't recreate anything that's already out there," http://IKnowMine.org creator says. YES! Many free srvcs! See @KinkForAll's use. #SexTech #
  • I insist a lot of $ going to infrastructure costs for #sex #education & #health is misspent. Use free services, make bigger impact! #SexTech #
  • "We want to encourage ppl to take pic of themselves w/ http://IKnowMine.org t-shirt." Simple+effective way to bring online offline. #SexTech #
  • AFTER click "Send me free condoms" on IKnowMine.org site you get informed it's for Alaska only. Lesson is put call to action FIRST. #SexTech #
  • Got stopped by some1 @SexTech said, "You do @KinkForAll uncons, right? http://vimeo.com/tag:kinkforall vids make me so happy!" Yay! #SexTech #
  • Hey #SexTech tweeple: Are you local to San Francisco? I want to meet you. Proposal: Retweet this and include #SexTechInSF so we all know. :) #
  • Filling out paperwork for #KFASF http://tr.im/kfasf during a Powerpoint-like talk @SexTech that feels like repetition from earlier. #SexTech #
  • "We're going to open source the GYTNow.org campaign." That means making participation easy by providing stickers+more. #SexTech #terminology #
  • Just sent official #KFASF reservation w/the Women's Building for Mar 21. It's happening! Check out http://tr.im/kfasf for more & sign up! :D #
  • http://InSpot.org: Send pre-created STI notification ecard to partner anonymously if you contract an #STI Is anon still effective? #SexTech #
  • Content for InSpot.org talk seems like it should go to local gov't, etc. This is the choir; no need to preach to this crowd, no? :\ #SexTech #
  • Next: @SexTech's "Effective Tools for Local #Communities Planned Parenthood Online." Big org challenges not same as independent's. #SexTech #
  • #Internet provide opportunity to consolidate as well as specialize: important to distinguish local content from generalized content #SexTech #
  • Case in point: Over 1 million searches/month for local health centers on PlannedParenthood.org: Global site consolidate local data. #SexTech #
  • Many struggle w/distinguishing content. 1 way to start is to identify AUDIENCE first, then ask yourself what you have to show them. #SexTech #
  • "It's a lot easier to have #sex than it is to talk about sex," so http://SexReally.com saw the opportunity to inspire conversation. #SexTech #
  • Mindmap-like slide Larry Swiader showed is exactly my concept of #social #media "octopus networks," I discussed at @DeviantsOnline. #SexTech #
  • On the #Internet every page is same distance from every other page. IOW, your CONTENT should go to as many other sites as possible. #SexTech #
  • "Octopus networks" have a home page, but tentacle-like content reaches to other sites & pulls visitors back to head. SA: @SexReally #SexTech #
  • "1 of most trusted sources of info, including birth control, is via friends." Of course: social networking=peer-to-peer #education #SexTech #
  • We've been talking about communication tools. What of communication SKILLS? Having the tools doesn't mean you know how to use them. #SexTech #
  • If we succeed in starting conversation, what tools could support that? Interactive scripts ala teleprompter for phone conversation? #SexTech #
  • HOLY SHIT! 90% of 1.7mil visit to http://PPFA.org are women. Of men who speak of "family values" many see parenting as women's job. #SexTech #
  • TX is "a Sate doing everything they can to prevent" getting #sex #health info to ppl who need it. What to do? Win in search engine! #SexTech #
  • Getting ready for "I'm a… Feminist #Sex Educator" panel @SexTech. Haven't seen @melissagira since I was in NYC. Excited about this. #SexTech #
  • Panel starts w/@melissagira saying how started: getting condoms to HS while a student. #Youth need adult allies. http://ur1.ca/npff #SexTech #
  • Don't "target" populations. Empower missing groups of people as potential leaders instead @melissagira advises us @SexTech. AWESOME #SexTech #
  • "I don't have degree—how can I be an educator?" Quote by WhereIsYourLine.org creator is relevant to my interest: http://ur1.ca/ngvd #SexTech #
  • Saudi campaign was inspiration for @thelinecampaign, created by @fancynancynyc w/input frm @melissagira. "Sex-positive & inviting." #SexTech #
  • What does "be inviting" mean to you? To me the heart of the issue is encouragement+questions. Don't tell ppl stuff, ask them stuff. #SexTech #
  • "I'm disturbed by corporate interests corrupting interesting feminist conversation abt sex to sell us stuff," @CorySilverberg says. #SexTech #
  • "Especially since I present as a man," @corysilverberg says, "I call myself a #feminist #sex educator cuz it REQUIRES explanation." #SexTech #
  • Writing by @corysilverberg is SUPERB! Featured his How To Talk to Kids Abt Porn http://ur1.ca/npgo on @KinkOnTap http://ur1.ca/npgs #SexTech #
  • "Who gets to be an educator?" Uni professor @jessfields asks. "I'm interested in what we're talking about but also what we're not." #SexTech #
  • ACTUALLY GOOD POINT: "I wouldn't have been born if my mom had an abortion & I would've been fine w/that too." @HeatherCorinna says. #SexTech #
  • @JessieNYC I think Jessica Fields' #Twitter account is @jessfields. I HOPE, anyway, else that person is very confused right now. ;) #SexTech in reply to JessieNYC #
  • @AnneDouglas That's a given, but that's also no different than current sex #education which is also often scientifically WRONG & unhelpful. in reply to AnneDouglas #
  • ♺ @AnneDouglas: #Youth deserve good facts abt all kinds of #sex & adults need to learn to be gateway openers not gateway guardians. #SexTech #
  • #Feminism can SOUND exclusive of men. @melissagira does feminism thru lens of "gender justice" is far more inclusive. :) Very nice. #SexTech #
  • Asked question about #educators who attack attempts to converse. Mulling over the responses. More thoughts here: http://ur1.ca/ngvd #SexTech #
  • Also spoke up about #submissive #masculinity in Feminist #Sex Educator panel. I write about that LOTS: http://MaleSubmissionArt.com #SexTech #
  • @bma You touch on 2 issues. But pls note, I didn't say men ARE excluded by #feminism I implied they FEEL excluded. BIG difference. #SexTech #
  • @JessieNYC Attendees @SexTech are overwhelmingly white. This is true in all #sex positive space I've been to. @clarissethorn writes on this. in reply to JessieNYC #
  • "There's not always an asker & an answerer" for #sex @HeatherCorinna says. Right! That's what #youth mean by "sex just happened." #SexTech #
  • @bma Maybe heteronormative men feel excluded by #feminism cuz hegemonic culture define #masculine in direct opposition to feminine? #SexTech #
  • Hung out at Press Club for #SexTech wine & cheese social, met LOTS of interesting people. Now back at hotel watching "Let's Talk About Sex." #
  • @gogobera LOL! :) Sorry, I only tweet QUITE this much during conferences. Promise. I'm also on many Twitter lists—follow those to follow me. in reply to gogobera #
  • Home after VERY long day @SexTech. Got to thank @DebISIS at social, follow up w/ @aboutsexuality & others in person. THANK YOU ALL. #SexTech #
  • Totally exhausted, but sent important update on #KFASF Short version: IT'S ON MARCH 21! SPREAD THE WORD! Long version: http://tr.im/PZMs :D #
  • Day 2 of #SexTech starts at 8 AM?! OMG I'm going to get so little sleep tonight. S'ok, tho…I confirmed #KFASF for Mar 21: http://tr.im/kfasf #

  • Visiting the Women's Building, I find they have free Wi-Fi for events! Good option for #KFASF A little pricey, but utterly gorgeous #venue #
  • Question for #wiki gurus: How do you increase use by non-technical audiences? Are strategies different for company vs social use? #community #
  • Help @helio_girl & I win $1000 IWHC grant to fund a #sex #education campaign! http://j.mp/seeiwhc Remember to tell your friends to vote too! #
  • Did I just find a bug in #lighttpd It was reporting "Syntax OK" but refused to start. Sure enough, I found a #syntax error in virtual host. #
  • Best thing about switching tasks and coming back to one months later is realizing how much you can apply from what you've learned elsewhere. #
  • @MollyRen I'd say email mailing list, not DM you, for more info. Don't make yourself into a bottleneck when looking for help from others. ;) in reply to MollyRen #
  • Working on new project "SexEdEverywhere: Because We Learn More Than What They Teach" http://ur1.ca/mtga Help me fund it: http://j.mp/seeiwhc #
  • Found probable venue for #KFASF All the details are on the mailing list: http://tr.im/PIwr #KinkForAll #SF may happen as early as March 21! #
