As an anti-capitalist with a background in organising, there was one realisation that made me pivot to teaching sex education: sex negativity, or the taboo nature of sex, is as pervasive as it is because it’s profitable.

The purpose behind oppressing women, queer folks, BIPOC, fat and disabled folks is to increase financial profit, by ensuring hierarchy and creating standards and norms that require us to  spend incessantly to reach. Oppressed people – even more so those with intersecting marginalised identities – are told both subtly and explicitly that sex is not for them or about them. Their pleasure, their bodies, and the types of sex they may have are excluded from conventional sex education in lieu of conversations about condoms and STI horror stories.

Although abolition is often linked to moving away from capitalism, it is rarely associated with sex education – but it should be. Abolitionism is about alternatives to carceral justice. Unlike right wing and centrist “tough on crime” advocates, or liberal calls for police and prison “reform”, abolitionists seek to get rid of police and prisons entirely.

In an evacuation, the chair is left behind.

Usually the evacuation plan includes people with wheel chairs going into the stairwells. Stairwells can withstand fire longer than the rest of the building. And, yes, there are usually people designated to carry or help those with mobility issues.

I am keenly aware that most management still subscribes to the idea that motion is work. They are fairly convinced that a lack of motion is a lack of work. That makes sense in a lawn care service, a factory assembly line, or a warehouse operation.

This isn’t new. I’ve known this for years. Why are they “announcing” it (again) now?
