A warning: Let's just assume that all of the links in this post are gloriously NSFW.

We're told that the upcoming Berkeley-area show is "hot activism," which sounds awesome, except that it's what, exactly? Is it "hot" like sexy, or "hot" like capri pants in 2000? We're guessing that it's a stab at sexiness, since the subtitle is "an unshamed claim to beauty in the face of invisibility" and the description is "a re/view of embodiment, with performers and video artists stripping taboos off of sexuality and disability."

Whew, that's a mouthful, even without the made-up words.

So, your sex life involves a wheelchair. That's just dandy. Some folks' sex lives involve muscle hunks, some folks grind around with BBWs, some folks like inflatable bosoms or giraffe-newt things or soap operas or food or gibberish. And still other folks like nullo -- Google it if you don't know what it is, but for God's sake don't use the image search. So if you think that there's something Earth-shatteringly different about invalids having sex, then you've probably don't know how to use the Internet. Now that's a disability.

And all of those sexual interests -- each one, a tiny petal in the big, beautiful, revolting bouquet that is human sexuality -- are perfectly fine and lovely and fascinating ... UNTIL YOU INVOLVE A POETRY READING. Then it is a crime against humanity; it has outraged public decency; it is a condition injurious to persons and property and it must be avoided at all costs.

Okay, that is all. Enjoy the links, kids!
