Hey - this is kind of an odd question, but I was wondering if you had any recommendations for books or articles to read to learn more about Judaism for someone who’s kind of Jewish (but not really)?

My mum is Jewish, but stopped practicing when she was a teenager, and I was brought up atheist - my dad’s family are Protestant. I basically don’t know anything about Judaism, which feels particularly weird because I know loads about Christianity, just through osmosis. And I’ve never met a whole branch of my family who are apparently very orthodox and live really near us in London. Anyway, I’d like to learn more, and don’t really know how to start? Or if I should start?

Thank you for your question. First of all, if your mother is Jewish, you are Jewish. You're not "kind of Jewish," you're not "Jew-ish." You're fully Jewish, and every movement of Judaism recognizes you as such.

Second, there are endless amazing resources for people in situations like yours. I wish I could say that it was more rare to have descendants of people who assimilated wanting to reconnect, but sadly it's not. I've known some people have found resources for converts to be helpful in reconnecting, so those are mixed in with my list as well.

MyJewishLearning is a great resource for really anything Jewish. I've found their articles to be pretty diverse in terms of approach, and they give perspectives of different movements on each topic.

Jewish101 Playlist - This is great not just for beginners, but for people familiar with Judaism already. They are talks given by one of my favorite Rabbis, Rabbi Mark Golub, about everything from how Jews view G-d, our relationship & struggles with Him, how sex is treated in Judaism, to Jewish holiday traditions & the meaning behind them.

Jewish Learning Institute - This entire channel is beneficial for learning about really any topic. They have a more frum perspective, but I think that learning the core observant values is really important when deciding which ones speak to you. It's also important for Jews to understand their more observant siblings, as many people don't and that ignorance leads to observant Jews being marginalized by their own family. By having that baseline understanding of the reasons behind why Jews do what they do, so that you can decide for yourself it that matters or can fit in your life. The video I've attached is about the survival of the Jewish people, a brilliant and moving speech given by Rabbi Y.Y Jacobson. I think this speech is sure to give every Jew a sense of pride and connection to their fellow Jew, which is vital when forming a Jewish identity. We're a tribe for a reason.

TY Channel Henry Abramson - Not a Rabbi but many people mistake him for one because he's highly educated (PhD). He gives very educational lectures on all sorts of Jewish topics, usually Jewish history. Peppers in some humor too, so he's entertaining to watch.

Unpacked - Gives crash-course type videos (entertaining, some animation, higher budget, etc) on issues that Jews face today, conversations Jews are having in the community, and Jewish history.

My Jewish Mommy life - Jewish vlogger who makes videos on the basics of Judaism, shabbat, holidays, etc. A good resource for anyone just entering the fold. Comes from a more reform background but does a decent job of explaining different perspectives.

Books

The Torah (Hebrew-English, also has Spanish, French, Portuguese. There are tons of versions online)

The Jewish Book of Why - This book is essentially a compilation of a million different questions commonly asked about Jews/Judaism and the answers given range in the interpretation of various movements.

Choosing A Jewish Life - Kind of a how-to guide in terms of choosing a Rabbi, synagogue, overview of basic Jewish concepts & movements, choosing a Hebrew name for yourself (You can give yourself one if you don't have one!!), and how to discuss with your family your decision to be Jewish, or more observant.

Jewish Literacy - ABSOLUTELY MY FAVORITE JEWISH RESOURCE. Can be read like a novel or an encyclopedia (like for referencing certain topics). I read through this completely and it is an amazing compilation of every topic from important Biblical stories and their Jewish interpretation, Jewish history from its creation to modern times, IP conflict, major Jewish historical figures, modern Jewish thought on certain topics. Genuinely, if you want to know something about Jewish tradition and practice, it's probably in this book.

To Be a Jew - Halachot (Jewish laws) around observance in daily life, their oigins, and why we do them. Guide for major and minor holidays, major life events, and an explanation of rationale for modern Jewish life.

Living a Jewish Life - Another why-to and how-to guide for Judaism in your daily life.

Helpful Apps:

Shabbat Times (Self-explanatory, you put in your city and it tells you what time Shabbat starts)

Jewish Chronicle/Jooish News - News around the world for what's happening to and by Jews

TorahAnytime - Like Youtube but for Jewish learning

Daily Jewish Prayers - Invaluable resource that explains when which prayers are said, provides it in transliteration, English, and Hebrew

CalJ - Jewish calendar. Great for knowing what the Hebrew date is and when/what times Jewish holidays start.

JVL (Jewish Virtual Library) - a bunch of Jewish books

Jewish accounts to follow:

Here's a very short and incomplete list of Jewish accounts I recommend following, because they post about Judaism a lot and give a good idea of what every-day Jews think about a wide range of things. They are really invaluable resources when it comes to learning from real Jews and I trust their judgment:

@shretl

@tikkunolamorgtfo (has been around forever, literally amazing)

@adoratato

@jewish-kermit

@spacelazarwolf

@magnetothemagnificent

@laineystein

@gonnauseanomdeplume

@hiddurmitzvah

@girlactionfigure

@rimonoroni

learning to raise a baby ~ daniel seavey

requested: yes:)

Can you please do an cute imagine about y/n and Daniel having a baby together and taking care of the baby and figuring the parenting stuff out together. Ur amazing

summary: follow a few different events in the life of daniel and y/n learning to raise a baby.

warning(s): baby, literally too lazy to edit this i’ll come back later lmao

word count: 2608

author’s note: i have such baby fever omg

disclaimer: i def need to clarify that i am 18 years old and do not have a baby and i have no close friends with babies (in person, at least) therefore this is purely fiction. i watch a LOT (i mean A LOT) of family vloggers and like teen mom accounts raising their kids, so basically all of my knowledge comes from that. i hope no one takes offence to my depiction of it, but my intention is purely just to write this cute fic idea, and i don’t want to pretend like i know anything about parenting or raising a child or anything like that!! okay that’s all!!

I could barely see my feet as I painfully took in another breath of air and started walking forward. Awoken at 3am with terrible back pain and a pool of amniotic fluid at my waist, Daniel and I now rushed to grab our hospital bag and make our way to the labor and delivery section of our nearest hospital.

everything went so fast. before i was actively having a child, it felt like my pregnancy would never end, but now that it’s actually happening and i’m having a child, it felt like pregnancy flew by.

just a few days ago, i was sitting on the countertop in my bathroom, impatiently waiting to see if i was pregnant or not in hopes that daniel wouldn’t get home from the studio early and find me. i had just given daniel the surprise of his lifetime when i woke him up at four am to tell him i was pregnant because i just couldn’t keep it from him anymore to do a fun reveal. i remember how we both cried, too excited to even go back to sleep.

just a few days ago, daniel and i were sitting in my obstetrician’s office as we got to hear our eight week old fetus’ heartbeat for the first time. we both cried. it feels like just a day or two ago we cut into a pink colored cake and found out that our precious baby girl would be coming. all of the breakdowns about what stroller to buy and which crib matches the nursey best felt like just moments ago. and now, all of a sudden, i’m ten hours into labor and i’m ready to push.

pushing was painful, but the thought of holding a sweet babygirl soon just kept me going. daniel squeezed my hand tight, standing by the end of the bed watching our beautiful daughter make her way into the world.

i gave the final push and soon i heard a cry that made everything in the whole world worth it. they say you never truly understand love until you’ve had a child, and as soon as i held our daughter, i felt an overwhelming sense of truth in that statement. i never knew such a distinct moment could be the greatest day of my life, but as soon as i laid my eyes on her, i knew that i would never get a day greater than this one.

our daughter laid on my chest for a while as daniel sat by my head, holding both my hand and hers. eventually, the nurses cleaned her off a bit and wrapped her tightly in a swaddle for daniel to finally hold his daughter. i watched the tears fall from his bluer than ever eyes that never left her little face. by the way she settled in his arms and fell asleep, i knew i was going to have a daddy’s little girl on our hands.

it felt like forever, just watching daniel and our baby getting to know each other. soon enough, though, the doctors finished with the stitches and i heard a knock at the door.

within seconds, both of our parents came into the room, bearing wide smiles. daniel sat in the seat next to me, both of us staring at the beautiful baby in front of us.

“does she have a name?” keri asks, slowly walking up to the two of us, careful not to be too loud.

daniel and i look at each other, and then i give him the nod to tell everyone. “callista avery mae seavey.”

“our little baby callie.” i smile at the name. daniel and i both loved the name callie, but wanted it to be a nickname. avery was after his bandmate who really helped us through this whole preparing to be parents thing. mae was a pretty nickname from my side of the family that was good to separate avery and seavey. our little callie mae.

***

it was three am and both of us were awake to callie’s loud screaming. turns out that daniel and i had a very colicky daughter who, when awake, wanted to scream at the top of her lungs. daniel was in the nursery trying to grab more diapers and wipes that, out of exhaustion, we forgot to restock last night when we ran out. i held callie in our arms, rocking her gently and trying to get her to go back to sleep.

“does she have a dirty diaper?” daniel asks, placing the diapers in the corner of our messy bedroom. a few days into callie’s life, we realized we should’ve left the changing table in our bedroom until she was ready to sleep in the nursey, but both of us were too tired to even think about moving the furniture around. so for now the corner of the room was storage and a changing pad on the bench was our late night changing table.

“i don’t think so.” i answer, giving him an exhausted look. “her diaper isn’t heavy and i tried to feed her, but she doesn’t seem to be hungry. i think she just woke up and is being colicky again.”

“how long did the doctor say the colic will last?” daniel asks.

“she didn’t.” i sigh, going to take a seat on our bed as i continued to calm callie. daniel sat beside me. “go back to sleep, i got her.”

“no, i know you’ve been awake all night. try to go to sleep, i’ve got her.” daniel says, and then takes callie from me. “did you take melatonin tonight?”

“yeah.” i say. “i know your body goes through a lot of changes postpartum, but i’m really not liking the insomnia.”

“okay, well, you lay down, and i’m gonna sing to you both, okay?” daniel says and then starts to rock callie to sleep as i laid beside them. and then he started to sing softly.

***

callie was born a little over three months ago and daniel and i haven’t had a date night since then. when we fearfully realized that last week, jack and anna were both quick to offer some help. we hadn’t felt comfortable leaving callie yet, especially since she wasn’t always the easiest. we had lots of help and people offering, but neither daniel nor i were good at asking for help. that’s definitely something we’re both still working on, especially now that we have a baby.

finally though, jack and anna convinced us. originally, we were going to leave them with daniel’s parents, but anna and jack were pretty convincing. jack had lots of experience since he himself is a dad, and anna was very close with gabbie when she had lavender. jack also decided to invite zach for some more company, which was cute.

daniel and i had a hard time saying goodbye to callie, even though we really were only going to be out for two hours at most. we knew neither of us could stay away for that long.

the restaurant wasn’t too far from the house, which was nice because it cut down on our time away from callie. i think both of us were a little nervous to leave her. we both know that she’s three months old and other people are more than capable of watching her for a few hours, but it’s still hard to not be worried about all of the things we could be missing out on.

“oh my gosh, anna just sent a picture of callie.” daniel says in the middle of our dinner, holding up his phone to show up me the picture of our daughter in the adorable pajamas her aunt bought.

“i miss her.” i admit, knowing he was feeling similarly. “do you think they had a hard time getting her to sleep? i hope she’ll be good for them tonight.”

“i’m sure she was fine.” daniel says, then later . “you know, maybe we should skip dessert. relieve them a little early.”

“she’s growing up so fast.” i tell him. “i’m not ready for her to keep growing.”

“we’re gonna blink and she’s gonna be cursing us out because we wouldn’t let her go out with her friends.” daniel continues. “not that we would do that, because honestly, i’ve always thought we’d be a little cooler than that.”

i laugh at his comment. “oh, we’ll definitely be cooler than that. we’re not gonna be the lame strict parents that doesn’t let their kids go out with their friends.”

“oh definitely.” daniel agrees. “except i will be strict about doors open if someone is over. i don’t care who she’s in her room with, but that door better be open. i am taking no chances.”

“i feel like that’s fair.” i add. “i know we’re parents, but wow, until i think about that future, i kind of forget.”

“i’m very glad that’s a long ways away.” he comments. “i’m barely ready for her to be three months old, we do not need to get ahead of ourselves. take this parenting thing one step at a time.”

“i could not agree more.” i smile, leaning over the table to kiss daniel’s lips gently.

***

i walked out of my one year old’s nursery with her in my arms. we watched as daniel and anna hung balloons up around our california apartment. it’s just about an hour before callie’s first birthday party, and now more than ever, i could not be more grateful for daniel’s family’s offer to help us set up.

rather than fighting with figuring out food for the party, we decided to get it catered. christian and tyler offered to go pick up the food at the restaurant for us, which was extremely helpful. his parents were setting up some decorations around the front of the apartment.

i had just put callie in her adorable dress that i specifically picked out for this party. we weren’t the type to throw parties, so we weren’t 100% sure what to do or what to expect, but we decided to just stick to family and close friends. callie was too young for us to strictly invite her friends over. at this stage in her life, her friends were whoever was at mommy&me that week.

the party was going to be small. daniel’s family, my family, daniel’s bandmates and close friends, and then my close friends.

thankfully, we finished decorating and setting up with about thirty minutes left to spare before the party. rather than worry, i decided to just sit on the couch with anna and daniel. keri took callie from me, wanting to spend some time with her granddaughter, and giving daniel and i a brief break before the party started.

“i cannot believe she’s a year old.” anna exclaims to me. “you guys have been parents for a year. that’s crazy to think about.”

“it’s definitely a little bit weird.” i giggle in response.

“you guys make it look so easy, being young parents.” anna says. “i know i’m younger than you guys, but still, i cannot imagine having a kid anytime soon.”

“i didn’t think i would either.” i tell anna. “for me, i wasn’t really ready until i met dani. i realized that i was ready because i wanted to do this with him. it’s different for everyone, i’m sure, but at least personally, that’s how i knew we could be parents.”

daniel wraps his arm around me on the couch, kissing my cheek softly. “yeah, it’s the same for me. when you find someone you want to do everything with, it gets easier to imagine yourself parenting together.”

“that is really cute.” anna says. “this is what i mean, when i say you make it look easy!!”

“it’s definitely not easy.” i laugh. “but it’s a little bit easier when you work as a team. we talk things through and decide together, instead of just making decisions separately. it’s a lot easier to feel like you’re making the right decision when you talk things through.”

“and that is all the parenting advice you get, because while i am most definitely ready to be a dad, i am not ready to be an uncle.” daniel says, getting protective over his younger sister.

“being an uncle is way easier than being a dad.” anna laughs. “but trust me, i’m not having kids any time soon. at least not intentionally.”

“well, i have to be the cool uncle. someone’s gotta bail the kid out of jail and hide it from you.” daniel jokes.

“first of all, why would my kid go to jail??” anna asks. “and second of all, you might’ve been first in the race for cool uncle before callie arrived, but since becoming a dad, you’ve fallen behind. the cool uncle can’t have kids, that’s not how that works.”

“well i’ll break that standard, because i’ll be the cool uncle.”

“i just want to be the aunt that gives good advice at one o’clock in the morning.” i tell them. “someone’s gotta do it. i expect that for callie, anna, so i will do that for your kids.”

“oh, of course. nothing but the best for callie. and future kids.” anna agrees. “speaking of, future kids? any thoughts on that? mom wants me to scope that out.”

“eventually.” i smile. “sooner rather than later.”

***

daniel took callie on a walk. he’s been really adamant about spending at least thirty minutes a day on a walk with her. now that she’s getting a lot more balance and ability to take a lot more steps, he loves taking her to the playground a few blocks from our apartment. usually, i like to go with them, but today i made up an excuse about things i had to get done at home.

i felt especially grateful for that routine of his today, because i needed a few minutes to myself. i’ve been feeling particularly nauseated recently, and as soon as i woke up the other day, i could feel that i was pregnant again. in the past, i had always thought that when i was paranoid about being late, but now that i’ve actually experienced pregnancy, i can feel that there’s a little fetus inside of me.

daniel and i haven’t exactly been trying, but we haven’t been taking as many precautions as we were when callie was first born. now that she’s over a year old, we feel better about having another baby. we weren’t too rushed, because we lot spending time with just our little girl, but we didn’t want to wait too long and have her grow up without a sibling. having a sibling was always a priority of daniel and i’s. seeing as we both grew up with siblings, we know how important it is to have a sibling.

my stomach fluttered with butterflies as i followed the instructions on the pregnancy test. after realizing i was pregnant with callie, i had bought a ton of tests that i didn’t end up using because it was so obvious that i was indeed pregnant. that was extremely helpful for right now when i don’t have time to go sit in traffic for thirty minutes just to go to the pharmacy.

i sat on top of the counter, leaving the pregnancy test face down while i tried to scroll through tiktok and distract myself. it was probably the slowest five minutes of my life, other than finding out about callie.

the timer went off on my phone. i take a deep breath and carefully lift the pregnancy test off the marble bathroom counter.

pregnant.

OH youtube saga suggestions :))

ginger rogers: christian mommy vlogger vibes without actually having any children. DIY and life hacks. cooking, painting, knitting, sprinkled with spiritual talk. her mother pops up a lot on her channel and they do Q&A’s together.

gene kelly: dance tutorials teaching different styles from different parts of the world, and the history behind them with special guests, plus the occasional Q&A. has an hour long rant video about breaking the stigma of dancing being for ‘sissies’.

cary grant: just one of those trippy channels about dropping acid and seeing all kinds of unbelievable things. the comment section is FILLED with people wondering about his “roommate” randy that always pops in the background. people shipping them fight with deniers who say it’s nobody’s business, even if they were an item. it’s a mess, honestly.

audrey hepburn: antique finds channel. thrift vlogs, hauls, fashion finds, favorite books, bedroom décor tours. has a depop where half of the profit goes to unicef, and is always boosting gofundme recommended by her followers.

carole lombard: funny story times, mukbangs, daily life vlogs, and pranks. her most viewed video is a clickbait vlog called ‘MY HUSBAND WON’T STOP EATING RAW ONIONS.’

ray milland: story times and outdoors exploration by horseback riding. seven videos about how he almost died on seven different occasions. once a year he gets accidentally drunk and uploads a hangover video where he swears off alcohol for the rest of his life.

---

IM CRYING these are perfect. i think that my favorite is carole lombard, but also audrey :,)

don’t forget ginger’s collabs with fred!

#ginger rogers #gene kelly #cary grant #audrey hepburn #carole lombard #ray milland #old hollywood #old hollywood youtube au #not an incorrect quote #classic hollywood #golden age of hollywood #submission

And it’s like...

sometimes I go on YouTube binges where i watch a bunch of mommy vloggers or Christian women doing mundane wholesome shit or older neo-pagan women with a chronic case of shaky cam talking about their favorite special rocks BECAUSE listen so many parts of me are traumatized and at odds with the idea and practice of Womanhood and the feminine experience and I'm like... Angry and I got this body and have never felt anything approaching whatever womanhood is AND YET what the fuck does that even mean ultimately AND IN THE END someone is going to interpret this post as terfy and that is sad and yet I understand it wholly and also don't understand a dang ole thing, my friends

German Resources

I've been studying German for quiet awhile now, and over the years I have found a lot of good blogs, Youtubers, Instagram accounts, etc. to follow to constantly get exposed to German!

Blog (I hope you like travel stuff because all of these blogs are travel blogs:

- The Fernweh Blog (I love their photography and their stories)

- Fräulein Draußen

- Geh Mal Reisen <3

- Go Girl! Run! (She is writes mostly about health/fitness/running, but she does write some about travel)

- Immerfernweh

- Sommertage

- Travelicia

- Wonderful Wild (If you like African Safaris, this is your blog)

Youtubers (TRAVEL):

- Geh Mal Reisen (I really love all their videos! They’re just really fun/funny people!)

- Sonne und Wolke (I haven't watched her videos in a while, but they're good)

- Immerfernweh (Currently traveling through South America)

YOUTUBERS (BEAUTY/HAULS/CHALLENGES/ETC):

I don't care much for beauty vloggers but I know a lot of beauty channels out there, so I compiled a list:

-DominoKati (Kati was an Au Pair in America for a while, but she lives back in Germany now. She has a second channel called: Katastrophe

- TheBeauty2go (I have only watched her VLOGMAS videos)

- Diana zur Löwen (I haven't watched any of her videos)

- Hatice Schmidt (I've only seen like one or two of her videos, but I liked listening to her speak German because she speaks slowly and in a really calm tone of voice, so that was a nice change)

- Masha Sedgwick (She usually doesn't talk in her videos, or at least, not that that I have seen, but she does have a few that have her speaking in it)

- Snukieful (This link takes you to one of her videos on being raised in bilingual home of speaking German and English. Here is her and her boyfriend's second channel of daily Vlogs: Manda)

YOUTUBERS (LIFE):

- Isabeau (She is a mommy/beauty and hauls Youtuber that I've been following for for quite awhile now)

Here are some TV SHOWS and more Youtube videos:

- Tiere bis unters Dachs (I learned a lot of vocabulary from this show. If you watch this show, I suggest only watching episode 1-27 because they got a new set of characters and I think the new season stinks, so I stopped watching TBUD)

- Dienstags ein Held sein (this show is about kids that get to try out their dream jobs, and get training from professionals for those jobs. It's a neat little show!)

- Kikaninchen (This is for toddlers, but hey, when learning a language you must endure cheesy content, especially if it helps with vocab! Which brings me to the next show:)

- Extr@ (Whew! It's suuuuppperr cheesy, but the vocabulary is good! :D "Endure and Survive." lol) Speaking of vocabulary......

- The Angry Family (This is very helpful for absolute beginners, and is good for vocabulary, but it's slow, and it's so stupid at times that it's funny. Hey, but you might end up quoting it like I did, which leads to memorizing vocabulary, so it's worth it!

- Kika Live (This is not a TV shows, but it is a tv program that, what I understood, was pretty well known in Germany.)

- If you're more into news and all, check out DW.DE . They have both videos and articles on the news. They also have courses for German on this website as well!

-HappyandFitFitness (I don't usually like watching workout videos, but if they're in German it helps me to knock out two tasks in one go. 1. I'm working out. 2. I'm listening to German and expanding my vocabulary. They have a bunch of different channels targeting different things which you can see HERE)

- Student Life: German or Beginners (This video was the first video about German I watched)

- Deutsch (and I watched this one, as well as this ONE) (These are good for beginners, but it don't rely on slow, "perfect" speech to learn language. Throw yourself right in and listen to native speakers speak at a normal speed and all.)

-EasyGerman (Don't believe the name, it's not as easy as it sounds. They have more videos in German, as well as other languages on their other channel HERE)

-Girls4Teaching (Ah, nostalgic. I spent the first week or two of my German journey watching these videos.)

- Laura wird Stewardess (If you're interested in being a flight attendant, here is a cool documentary to watch! I have watched this so many times, as well as listened to it! I would listen to all 45mins. of it every night before going to sleep. *I wanted to become a flight attendant for Lufthansa, that's why I started learning German in the first place)

Here are more flight attendant videos if you're interested, and if you're not, it would be good for vocabulary and for your listening comprehension:

1. Ansagen-Training

2. Zweimal Himmel und Zurück (Another doku, as you say in German)

3. Flugbegleiter Auswahltag

4. Flugbegleiterausbilding

5. Als Flugbegleiterin mit der Nationalmannschaft zur EM

6. Annie| be Happy and Travel (She is a flight attendant Youtuber)

7. BeLufthansa (this is Lufthansa official career Youtube channel, so it's not just for flight attendants)

PRONUNCIATION:

-The Sound of German (This shows you where the tongue is suppose to be and so on, which was really helpful)

-How to pronounce the German "R" pt. 1

-How to pronounce the German "R" pt. 2 (I watched these two videos a few times through and I got my German "R" that day, and haven't had any issues pronouncing the "R" since then.)

-Ä, Ö, and Ü pronunciation

MUSIC:

-Disney songs in German

-Hillsong plus more Christian songs

-Ziehst Du Mit (I really like this song)

-Matteo Capreoli

-Silbermond (I don't really care much for them)

MISC:

-GOETHE (click on "online Deutsch lernen" to get to the language course)

-German is Easy! (This person does a really good job of explaining the words that don't exist in German and harder words!)

I'm sure I have a lot more, but this is all I can think of right now! Hope this helps!

Oh! I suggest watching THIS video too! It's not about German in particular, but it's about language learning! :)

Hope these resources help you!

-Lauryn

Teen Vogue’s Controversial Anal Sex Story Has A Really Beautiful And IMPORTANT Message!

Read. This. NOW!!!

Earlier this month, Teen Vogue published an informational article about anal sex as part of their ongoing sex education series. In the piece, writer Gigi Engle gives a bare bone overview "for teens, beginners, and all inquisitive folk."

Sadly, the digital story received a flood of backlash, particularly from Christian vlogger Elizabeth Johnston — aka "The Activist Mommy" — who accused the publication of "pandering indecency to minors."

Related: You Can Now Put A Fidget Spinner Up Your Ass!

On Friday, Teen Vogue and Allure's Digital Editorial Director Phillip Picardi — who monitors the site's webmaster email — opened up about the controversial write-up, and shared a personal story of how sex ed (or lack thereof) has affected his life.

He wrote:

If it's ok with you guys, I'm gonna TALK ABOUT ANAL SEX FOR A WEE LIL THREAD.
