Dear wonderful readers,Today, we have the ultimate treat for you all! This week, two shameless sex writers on Substack sat down to share our personal experiences of what it's really like to publish the details of our intimate lives on the internet.Share the steam with a spicy-minded friend

Happy Mother's Day. From the archives: Hope Edelman, author of "Motherless Mothers: How Losing a Mother Shapes the Parent You Become." (from 2007)

Stavros from the Atlas Moth is back for his 4th appearance on Car Con Carne - it’s been over four years, so we were overdue for a chat. The first thing you may notice in this episode is how easy the conversation is between the two of us. Besides Stavros being a natural and funny conversationalist, we have a lot in common: music, comics, horror, vinyl collecting. Lots of common ground there. We talk about why the Atlas Moth has been dead silent for the past five years, and Stavros reveals the plans for an upcoming covers EP. You won’t believe the artists they’re covering! We also talk about Stavros’s new band, Motherless, set to release an album in September. The entire conversation took place at the unlucky-looking Talisman Center in Glenview, specifically outside the Works Grill, home of some of the area’s best gyros (no lie). This chat’s a little longer than usual, but I swear it’s a fun one.

Augusztus második felében felrobbant az internet: mint kiderült, magyar lányokról és nőkről készült lesifotók bukkantak fel az egyik legerőszakosabb pornóoldalon, nem egy alkalommal a felhasználók vérdíjat tűztek ki a fejükre, a kommentszekcióban pedig gyomorforgató részletességgel tárgyalták, hogyan erőszakolnák, kínoznák és ölnék meg őket.  Az áldozatok egy része ugyan próbált valamilyen intézményi segítséget kérni, ám az ügy legsúlyosabb tanulsága, hogy az érintett nők kiszolgáltatottak az elkövetőknek és az ügyben szinte tehetetlen rendszernek is. Az adásban Oprics Dóri kolléganőnkkel beszélgettünk, aki Solti Hannával közösen írt cikket a témáról. Ezt bevezetésként itt tudjátok elolvasni. 00:00 – Óda a Barbie-phone-hoz. Ugye, azt ti is felvennétek? 01:56 – Mi az a Motherless-ügy? És hol tart most? Gyorstalpaló. 05:09 – A magyar hatóságok eszköztára… meglehetősen szűkös. Az áldozatok pedig jóformán tehetetlenek. 08:23 – Vadászd le: ez nem elég explicit fenyegetés ahhoz, hogy büntetőjogi kategória legyen? 09:51 – Mindenki tudja hogy miről van szó, mindenki látja, hogy miről van szó, mindenki érti hogy miről van szó, és mégis mindenki, aki bármit is tehetne, szétteszi a kezét, és úgy csinál, mintha nem tudna csinálni semmit. 11:35 – Egy létező jelenségre csodálkoztunk rá kollektíven, valamire, ami az interneten eddig is volt, de szabályozni, szankcionálni, megfékezni eddig sem sikerült. 14:52 – Annyit azért adjunk meg: legalább már nem kéretlenül jönnek szembe a gyerekeinkkel az ilyen tartalmak. Persze az, hogy egy átlag felhasználó nem fut beléjük, korántsem jelenti azt, hogy nincs ilyennel tele az internet sötétebbik fele. 16:12 – Nem az internet problémája, hogy vannak aberrált emberek, viszont összeköti őket, könnyebben találnak egymásra, mint régebben. 18:50 – Ez az ügy megmutatta, hogy mindannyian célkeresztben vagyunk. Tök mindegy, hogy hány éves vagy, tök mindegy, hogy nézel ki, mindig lesz olyan, hogy valaki megtalál. És tárgyiasít. 20:43 – Jó, de még ha erélyesebben lépnének fel a hatóságok, és lennének elrettentő ítéletek, az sem biztos, hogy visszafogná az elkövetőket. Mert férfiként (micsoda privilegizált helyzet!) úgy gondolják, hogy ehhez joguk van, hogy megnyomorítsanak, tárgyasítsanak, és dehumanizáljanak nőket. 22:33 – Miért nem áll senki a Belügyminisztérium meg az Igazságügyminisztérium előtt? És a kormány, amely 5 percenként ejti ki a száján a család szót, és isteníti az anyákat, miért nem védi meg a nőket? Két hét múlva senki nem fog emlékezni erre az ügyre, ha így haladunk. 24:17 – Ha már egyszer nem lehet bezárni az internetet, alternatív megoldások is vannak. Csak úgy mondjuk. 26:31 – A nap végén csak a nők feladatainak a száma nő: ezentúl nézz körbe, ha bemész a nyilvános mosdóba. Nettó áldozathibáztatás, ha azt mondjuk, ne tölts fel magadról olyan képeket, amiket aztán mások ellophatnak. 28:52 – Hogyan képzeljük el az elkövetőt vs. a valóság, ahol bárki lehet elkövető. Ezt mutatta meg a Motherless-ügy is. 32:33 – Férfiak is lehetnek online abúzus áldozatai, ahogy nők is lehetnek elkövetők. De nagy általánosságban azért nem ez a jellemző. 35:05 – És te rá mernél keresni magadra? Miért nem? Jobb tudni, vagy jobb nem tudni? 38:06 – Magukra hagyott áldozatok: oké, hogy indul (ha egyáltalán) valamilyen eljárás az elkövetők ellen. De mi van a súlyosan traumatizált áldozatokkal? Ők miért nem kapnak semmilyen segítséget? 41:28 – Fogalmunk sincs, hogyan kéne az egészséges szexualitásról beszélni. Nincs ennek már terepe, a szülők magukra vannak hagyva, az oktatási intézmények kivonultak. 45:51 – Nők elleni erőszak a médiában: hogyan lehet erről a témáról jól írni, és mennyire megterhelő ez egy újságírónak (aki egyben nő is)? 52:41 – Rossz gyakorlatok, és azok hatása a közgondolkodásra. 57:02 – Gyerekről nem osztunk meg fotót, pláne nem a beleegyezése nélkül. 58:42 – Nincs minden veszve, miután lejöttünk az életről, hozunk néhány jó nemzetközi példát. Lehet őket követni – néznénk a magyar döntéshozókra, felvont szemöldökkel. Mégis mi akadálya az Isztambuli Egyezmény ratifikálásának? Valaki magyarázza már el! 01:02:10 – Mondjátok el ti is a véleményeteket! Beszélgessünk, gondolkodjunk közösen. tyukol@444.hu. Mi menet közben feltaláltuk az önvédelmi shortot. Ajánlott olvasnivalók: Bár az adásban nem tértünk rá ki külön, de a mesterséges intelligencia nagyon “lendített” a nők elleni erőszak online terjedésén. Ehhez is ajánlunk pár cikket. Pornótól politikáig: a deepfake itt van velünk. Magyarországon fejleszti egy startup az a technológiát, amivel akár deepfake-et is lehetne gyártani, de persze nem ez a cél. Podcast a fejlesztőkkel arról, hogyan kell és lehet dolgozni a deepfake ellen. Bányai Judit esete a Redditen.  A szorgalmas Mi Hazánk már törvénymódosítást is kezdeményezett. Fellépés a doxing ellen - nemzetközi gyakorlatok. Doxing más szemszögből - politikai bosszú, nők elleni politikai erőszak. A Mérce ajánlása újságíróknak: Hogyan írjunk a nők elleni erőszakról?

MOTHERLESS PIETA Behind the curtain The cottonmouths speak Sending their words through the air: Sacrifice and self-laceration (bloodless) Lift the hands that hang down And succor and suffer - Then heaven waits. He listens with prejudice and certainty But his hands hang lowest Of all the hanging hands. “My hands will be lifted,” he says, “as I lift others. So move on – let me be. I have work to do.” And his low hands Raise stones to his Single-eyed altar. Then he lays himself down – Body draped over the altar stones (a Motherless Pieta) Self-sacrificed, savior to none But heaven waits, they say. In this episode, I'm joined again by Josh Baron as we discuss my poem, Motherless Pieta, the Parable of the Prodigal Son, obedience, self abandonment and more.

It's hard to be a mother in today's world, but with God all things are possible.

Today's episode of Something To Talk About is released on the eve of Mother's Day – an occasion that for some, is a day of celebration, yet for others is a reminder of grief and isolation.  Media personality, author and youth worker Brooke Blurton is one who approaches Mother's Day with conflicted emotions, having lost her mother when she was just 11.  Joining host Sarrah Le Marquand for this special episode, Brooke reflects on grief; celebrating the legacies of her mother and her grandmother; taking on the role of matriarch within her family - and how seeing her mum's life cut short at only 34 has instilled a sense of urgency in her to experience and achieve as much as she can. She also reveals the family tradition that will see Brooke honour her mother's memory in a very beautiful way if she has a daughter of her own one day… Brooke Blurton co-hosts First Things First alongside Matty Mills, which you can listen to here.

For most families, Mother's Day is about celebrating our mums and all they do for us. But for those whose Mum is no longer around, it can be a pretty tough day. New research shows this is having a big impact on women, with over 1 million losing their Mum before the age of 44. Now there are fears their grief is being ignored with women reporting higher rates of depression, anxiety, prolonged grief and post-traumatic stress. So, is their pain being ignored? And what can be done to raise more awareness to make sure they get the help they need?

 Niki became a mother and motherless in the same breath. Her journey to motherhood was filled with uncertainty and trauma when we went through recurrent pregnancy loss and learning that her mom was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer at the same time. She is a wife and mom of two living in Minnesota. She is a business owner by day, a podcaster by night, and a dedicated mom 24/7.  When she finally got her triple rainbow baby pregnancy, my mom's cancer progressed and she lost her when she was just 5 weeks postpartum. Years of grief and loss shaped her motherhood journey and how she choose to put turn that pain to purpose. It's one of the many reasons she started her podcast: Moms of the Night Connect with Niki: @momsofthenightpodcast Moms of the Night, is a space to help combat loneliness in motherhood. The podcast brings together moms to share stories, vulnerable conversations, and uplifting messages. Unlike many parenting podcasts, there's no experts, or advice to add to the overwhelm - just moments for all of us to sit in solidarity as we live out our motherhood journeys.Support the showConnect with Lina on @linaforrestal on InstagramFollow the @newmamaspodcast on InstagramRead Lina's Blog: www.linaforrestal.comSupport the Show: Buy Me a Coffee (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/newmamaspodcast)

Hi mamas. In this episode of Life After Birth, I am joined by Ali Heppell, a postpartum doula, matrescence educator and guide, and women's circle facilitator. She is also a wife and mum to two boys. In this conversion, we discuss Ali's experience of becoming a mother after losing her own mother to cancer just a few years prior. We discuss Ali's experience of the grief of losing her mother, her honouring of this grief and how it shaped her own mothering journey. Ali shares her immense loss and longing for her mother, and her journey of going inwards and seeking solace and comfort in parenting herself.  We also discuss: Grief, how it changes and evolves over time, and the power of self-compassion, mindfulness and sharing, to connect to the shared common humanity of the experience.  The ‘unravelling' and the ‘becoming' of matrescence, and how motherhood can so often catalyse a huge journey of growth, a shifting of priorities and a change of identities, and the parallels of this with grief. The seasons of matraescence, and the power of knowing in the darker and more challenging times, that things are everchanging and it won't always feel this hard.   The power of self-compassion in motherhood; mothering yourself, being kind to yourself, and gently nudging your inner voice in a kinder and more compassionate direction. This is a beautiful, vulnerable and raw conversation, and I hope it brings comfort and strength to you mamas. Here is where you can find out more about me (Yara), how to work with me and some resources: Why Am I So Angry Workshop*** Waitlist for The Rebirth, Group Coaching for Mamas ***This is my signature 3 months online group coaching container for mothers which covers family of origin, inner child work, nervous system basics, anger, boundaries and much more. @lifeafterbirthpsychology  www.lifeafterbirth.com.auFree Inner Critic WorkbookFree Values Aligned Living Workbook  Find out more about Alison and access her resources in these places: https://aliheppell.com/Ali on Instagram

This is a classic session, from the first season of Where Should We Begin? A couple with two small children are at physical and emotional odds in their relationship. One has given herself over entirely to the children, while the other struggles to find her place within the family dynamic. She yearns for the physical closeness she once had with her wife, while the other is, as she puts it, “all touched out.” Esther encourages them to see their different roles as mutually beneficial and stresses the importance of “feeding the relationship” away from the children.

GRIEF IS LOVE with MARISA RENEE LEE “I don't think we ever get over… these big losses in life… and I don't think we're supposed to.” — Marisa Renee Lee ***********************************************   SUPPORT DR. AMY ROBBINS:   If you're enjoying the podcast and finding value in guest interviews, ghost stories, and the content I share, please consider supporting the show by becoming a Patreon member for as little as $5 a month at Patreon.com/DrAmyRobbins   As a member you'll get more say in the content we cover and exclusive access to behind-the-scenes goodness!   Stay Connected with Dr. Amy Robbins:   Instagram YouTube Website Facebook   *********************************************** EPISODE SUMMARY:    Think about the most heart-wrenching loss you've experienced. Now think about the most magical love you've experienced. What do they have in common? A lot actually, it turns out.   Today we talk with Marisa Renee Lee, a grief advocate, author, former Obama appointee, and CEO of the DEI consultancy, Beacon Advisors.   She is also a Harvard graduate, and the former managing director of My Brother's Keeper Alliance; co-founder of the digital platform Supportal; and founder of The Pink Agenda, a national organization dedicated to raising money for breast cancer care, research, and awareness.   Listen in to hear about Marisa's journey through grief and motherhood – two closely intertwined experiences for her, the push and pull between asking for help when grieving and having it offered, sociopolitical barriers to grieving, the role of friendships in grief, and how exactly grief is love.   Topics We Discuss:   [3:48] Marisa's book is a memoir of her own journey grieving her mother. Her mother had undiagnosed MS that left permanent damage because of a lack of care and was later diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. Marisa spent much of her adolescence as a caretaker until her mother died. A pregnancy loss in 2019 finally pushed her to write Grief is Love.   [8:28] Marisa finally started examining her grief over her mom because the void she found herself in from losing a pregnancy and not having her mom to comfort her was too painful.   [10:29] Grief softens over time, but it still comes up even 15+ years later. Marisa allows herself time and space to grieve and does her best to take her own advice. When you're missing someone, ask yourself what you are craving from that person and find a way to give it to yourself.   [13:18] Asking for vs being offered help when grieving. There is a balance needed for both. Actions matter more than words. Do something for people that is either practical support or something that is a personal gift rooted in your relationship with the person. Sometimes the help we need is professional. We all need to get more comfortable asking for help.   [19:29] Grieving as a Black woman in America. Minority communities are often most removed from access to necessary care. Black women are held to a higher standard for tolerating pain and are often told to “grin and bare it”.   [23:48] People in positions of power and privilege need to make room for less privileged people to grieve and struggle. Capitalism as it stands now doesn't allow for grief and healing. Grief time and parental leave need to become larger policy issues.   [26:00] Grief is not just something that happens with death. Any time we lose hope of a future that we have some degree of certainty about, we grieve.    [28:05] Marisa talks about one of her best friends missing her mom's funeral. This was a huge strain on their relationship but they are still close today. It taught Marisa that grief requires grace for everyone involved because we all make mistakes.   [33:51] Discussion of quotes from the book. Show up for the people you love. True friends are people that we let inconvenience us at times and who let us inconvenience them.   [37:40] Joy in the face of grief. Don't feel guilty for laughing during your grief process. Don't force yourself to feel it but leave room for it to show up. Being honest about our grief helps to create that space. [39:42] How is grief love? Becoming a mother gave Marisa so much perspective and understanding about her grief and her mother's love for her. The “continuing bonds” theory – the best way to live with intense loss is to find a way to continue a relationship with the deceased. Marisa's sign from her mom can be found in the cover of Grief is Love.     FOLLOW MARISA RENEE LEE: Find Marisa and more about her projects, Supportal and The Pink Agenda, on her website, Instagram, or Twitter.   Marisa's book, “Grief is Love” is available on Amazon.
