From back pain to building plans to bodily autonomy, artist and activist Viva Ruíz believes all things were created with the intention of being embraced as necessary parts of life. So we wanted to show her some more love by giving her a little extra time to explain why abortion shouldn't be swept under society's rug.

Viva Ruíz, whose work has been featured in festivals and art spaces across the U.S. and Europe, uses their artwork to fight for reproductive healthcare access and freedom. In 2015, they founded the "Thank God for Abortion" initiative, which employs various means such as t-shirt designs, art installations, rallies, and parties to destigmatize abortion and normalize it as a necessary part of healthcare. If you're not familiar with their work, they received a Creative Capital Artistic Activism Award in 2022. Check out this amazing picture of them dressed as the Pope, standing outside the Vatican with a giant sign that reads "Thank God for Abortion."

Jonah Hill might think it's totally cool to manipulate his girlfriend as long as he couches it with the hottest trending psycho-babble. But we see right through this same old song and dance of men controlling women's bodies. So a year after the overturning of Roe v. Wade, we call on artist and activist Viva Ruíz to remind pricks like him of some basic human rights.

If God made all things, then that includes butt plugs and orgasms. So why is there so much shame dished out in the Lord's name? Lyonne Briggs, a.k.a "Pastor Bae," joins us to explain that colonized religion is the reason for the division between divinity and us all having a dirty good time.

Last week's episode was so unbelievably good that we knew we just had to give you a little bit more of the wise words and scathing societal rebukes from sex worker rights advocate Kaytlin Bailey while you wait for episode four!

Kaytlin Bailey is political activist and a comedian She came out as a sex worker in 2015. She went on to write about her experiences for Vice and other publications. Her one-woman show, Cuntagious, sold out performances in multiple NYC theater festivals. She followed that with “Whore’s Eye View,” another one-woman show about 10,000 years of history from a sex worker’s perspective. In 2020, Kaytlin founded Old Pros, a non-profit media organization working to decriminalize and destigmatize sex work. Her Podcast "The Oldest Profession" connects stories of historical sex workers to the modern struggle for sex workers' rights.

Shaking ass for cash ain't nothin' new. But as sex worker rights advocate Kaytlin Bailey points out, while the times may change the problems stay the same for people who are willing to put out for pay. So we do our best to at least break down some of the stigmas by sharing some eye-opening stories from the good folks who are just trying to get us off.
