Facts v. Feelings

Facts v. Feelings

Time: 1:53:13
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.

Description

What makes pleasure political? Well it’s simple, pleasure is revolutionary. Strap in (or strap on) as hosts Nia Abram and Desiree Jaha bridge the gap between the political and the personal, exploring topics of race, sexuality, gender, body, spirituality, and more. In a society determined to spread dominance and oppression, this show provides us with one antidote: pleasure. Tune in biweekly for moisturized conversations, pleasure-centered postulations, and the revelation of having a good time.
