How do you make intimacy, and specifically the associated cleanup operations, less awkward? That is the mission of founder and today's special guest Francis Tang of Awkward Essentials. The Asian-American entrepreneur, who has been affectionately dubbed “Captain Awkward,” founded her brand in 2019 after inventing the dripstick, a medical-grade sponge that absorbs fluid in the vagina post-sex. However, in a world sensitive to taboo how do you find product market fit and acquire customers. This is one of the many challenges Francis and her team are breaking through on their journey to making sex less awkward. Website: https://awkwardessentials.com/Playbook out soon.

We're back babies! For our first episode of the season, we're going LIVE to the Fat Studies 2022 Conference. This episode was recorded on July 7, 2022. We kick off with an introduction by the amazing Aimee Simpson, the organizer of this year's conference. We follow with a moment of remembrance for Cat Pausè, conference founder, who passed away late last year. Cat was and remains an inspiration to so many of us, and her work and impact on Fat Studies will remain with us forever. For our appetizer, we talk about our favorite chocolate foods, and of course, there are some real #neurodivergentvibes to the way some of us engage with chocolate, and Bryan infodumps on Cadbury. We then get into our main course for the episode, which is a Captain Awkward piece from a fat woman who says she's struggling deeply to find herself loveable. As we dig in, we unpack the ways that we conflate sex with love, desirability with value, and how the anti-fatness outside and inside of us sets the boundaries for what we can and can't realistically have, and how to wrestle with that honestly and still find joy. On a side note, we're so excited to be welcoming you all back to Unsolicited Season Two. Episodes will drop every two weeks on Sunday, and we're launching a Patreon with our next episode. Thank you to every one of you who has listened and shared and engaged with our work, we're so honored to have you as our listeners. Transcript will be coming soon.

We discuss plagues of mice, sexual misconduct and coverups in Parliament, and left-wing Nazis.   Content warning: we spend about half the episode discussing the ongoing saga of sexual assault and misconduct within Australia’s Parliament.   Climate changed The floods are bad, folks. Plagues of mice too. Boys club Thousands of people in Canberra and other cities across Australia marched against sexual assault. Scott Morrison says the people marching for justice should be glad they aren’t shot. NSW police commissioner Mick Fuller suggested an app for solving the problem of sexual assault. Mick Fuller defended his police force’s strip searches of children, saying young people should feel “little bit of fear” of police. Dumbass apps for consent have been around for a while.

Original words from the Good Cap: https://captainawkward.com/2021/01/11/1308-how-do-i-deal-with-my-edgelord-friend/(+ bonus music)

(+ musical interludes) TOPICS: all over the map today -- finding a home, what I need, what happens when I don't get what I need, consent culture vs. force culture, not doubling down on dickishness, striving to put more kindness in the world, accepting failure, accepting 'no' as an answer, recognizing situations and relationships that need to be stopped and offloaded promptly, trying my best with what I've got in the time available, the vitality of art as self-care and survival, how suspension of disbelief is both a blessing and a curse, my tone deafness, how I learned to sing in spite of it and my learning disability, loving when it's hard, when it's worth coming back and when it's now, Derailing for Dummies, Captain Awkward, what percentage of people are time-wasting dicks and how to spot them faster and avoid them filling up all my attention and time and life real estate. Probably lots more too, I just had to get through it to bring myself some peace this morn.

Topics: getting burned by fire vs. frozen by winter, allodynia (skin hypersensitivity to pain) & other fibromyalgia/chronic pain topics, what it feels like, what's helped and what hasn't for me, Captain Awkward, how I've learned hacks for dealing with no running water, Colin Jost's autobiography, the magic of the open-air theater (and my magic stick), interpersonal love being down to largely luck and choices out of one's control rather than personal effort, how therapy can be used to teach abuse victims and the oppressed to stay and tolerate and work on what needs excising and fleeing (URGENTLY), how medical care can seem like insanity when it persists in doing the same things and expecting different results, the importance of resistance and complaining and protests as life skills one will note be taught in therapy (but will be in more transgressive outsider/arty-type places), identifying the right ones in order to let them in whilst defending pathways to creative processes and the open mind and heart people rush to fill with BS, when diatribes provoke not wars but surprising openness, having sexual boundaries and special needs after abuse and trauma are NOT unreasonable or selfish or too demanding, the end and herocism of Stuart Shorter (and his biography for now), how others like myself have different stories to his, the end of my prolonged saga of getting a money order for fucking Social Security and the trial of having to get the godsdamned address, exploring other options for physical activity in the face of changing circumstances.And finally giving back to Captain Awkward and the Awkward Army. 'Bout time, too.

In 2018, entrepreneur and former professional baker, Frances Tang was inspired by a spatula and cake batter to break into the $20.6 billion feminine hygiene industry. While scooping the excess batter from her kitchen aid, she thought, “Why can’t clean up after sex be this easy?” After several awkward conversations with friends, family, and eventually investors, Frances launches her company Awkward Essentials. It’s a direct to consumer brand with the purpose of creating solutions for life’s embarrassing problems.   Instead of a CEO, Frances calls herself “Captain Awkward”. She talks about her journey into creating the sex clean up sponge. Many women don’t have all of the information on women’s health and sex. She’s been using this opportunity to teach women all of the taboo’s that people don’t like talking about!   You can check out her website and get your own DripStick here: https://awkwardessentials.com/

From a Captain Awkward comment thread:http://captainawkward.com/2012/8/30/339-my-mom-gives-me-the-silent-treatment/#comment-24529

I read letter #1295 to Captain Awkward and the response. Original here:https://captainawkward.com/2020/10/21/1295-is-my-boyfriend-a-jerk-or-am-i-just-too-sensitive/

If you have ever wanted to get rid of the 'evidence' after sex with your man, Frances Tang has an innovative and fun way to do it! Listen in as Frances and I discuss how she invented a way for us all to stop using wads of toilet paper to become...cumless! Frances Tang Bio: Frances is founder/CEO/Captain Awkward at Awkward Essentials, and the inventor of come&gone. Come&gone is a soft, medical grade sponge that is made to help vaginas with internal after-sex clean up. Her mission is to normalize and solve the everyday awkward and taboo encounters (with a dose of humor). Now Frances is betting big on Awkward Essentials, choosing forward action over fear. Against the advice of a startup accelerator, she placed a big order for her first product knowing the demand would be there to meet it — and proved the haters wrong. Frances credits a string of perceived failures, from a business that didn’t get off the ground to more than one job loss, for her tenacity. She has her BA in Communications from UCSD, resides in Southern California, and is definitely a multipotentialite!

AL and Shane sit down and get to know Brendan James. Many of you will know of Brendan from his popular vlog that has taken Shrewsbury by storm recently. The vlog of him walking through Shrewsbury in the height of Covid-19 to test social distancing safety was a huge hit and that's where he caught our eye. We discuss the learning process of starting something like a vlog, the mannerisms that one has to train themselves out of and the lessons learned. Mostly, we find out where Brendan got his creative streak from, what he got up to before and what he has planned for the near future. The seed may have been planted for us to do a Brendan James/Biscuit Vlog in the future too, but we will see as AL tends to become Captain Awkward when cameras are involved....watch this space! Brendan's Vlog is cracking and we encourage people who haven't yet, to check it out, the link is here :- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6oxePsoLa0FMCQXFgdc14w

Naomi and Angela are back from hiatus, and they're ready to dig into a fairly meta topic - the pros and pitfalls that can arise when you're working on a shared creative project with one or more close partners. They reflect on the ways that they have experienced both successes and stresses in artistic collaborations, and offer thoughts on how to check in about projects that need to be reshaped, adjusted, or scrapped to better support the actual needs and desires of the collaborators. This episode was recorded in November 2019 and edited in February 2020, because sometimes creative work has to land on the back burner due to life, but the hosts are glad to be bringing Queerly Yours back to you and your earbuds! If you'd like to check out articles and projects mentioned in this episode, links are below. Captain Awkward's advice on how to deal with commitment/focus mismatches with a creative project partner is here. The Business Card Jam, which was still running when this episode was recorded, ended up having over 80 entries, which you can explore here!

Nichole read a Captain Awkward post this week that had her reeling so we're here to talk about it: how elite professions target "insecure overachievers" because they work hard and blame themselves for everything. Sigh. The post 228 Insecure Overachievers: How Jobs Exploit Our Trauma appeared first on Vegan Warrior Princesses Attack!.

Micah Elizabeth Scott (@scanlime) spoke with us about Coastermelt, art installations, FadeCandy, teaching electronics to artists, and mental health.  Her Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) installation is mesmerizing, some videos.  In her Coastermelt project, Micah uses the IDA disassembler. FadeCandy is for sale at Adafruit. Zen Photon is online, demonstrating ray tracing. Micah's website shows her current projects.  Micah's previous Embedded.fm episode focused on FadeCandy: 41: Pink Universes Die Really Quickly. Robot Odyssey looks awesome. Captain Awkward is a site where you can get advice on how to say things and deal with difficult situations/people. Micah's shop has a TypeA 3D printer (note: Tuco's favorite bolts) as well as an OtherMill.
