And The NYT calls it! Sex positivity is out.

H/t to the ladies who started ringing this alarm bell first or set the scene for people to notice: myself, @Louise_m_perry, @moveincircles, @kaschuta, @annakhachiyan and MANY others.

The infamous blog post that got quoted by @DouthatNYT:

@moveincircles’ brilliant piece on The Sexual Counterrevolution:

@Louise_m_perry has a lot of great work out there, this interview with @kaschuta is a great introduction:

And I would be remiss not to mention Red Scare— an important piece in how discourse has changed. My first exposure to people who weren’t explicitly in right wing spaces who were open to critiquing mainstream ideas was RS. It kicked the door open.
And finally, the thread. Often dismissed, this is where I’ve been tracking subtle shifts in the way regular people talk about sex:

IS sex positivity falling out of fashion? Who knows, the NYT seems to think so.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
