li’l introductory thread since a bunch of you folks just followed me (hi!):

I’m Kate Sloan, a writer/podcaster specializing in sex, kink, dating & relationships.

I’m a bi/queer cis femme woman from Toronto, and my pronouns are she/her. 👋🏻

Kate, a queer femme white cis woman with short brown hair, smiles at the camera while wearing red lipstick, a blue floral-print one-shoulder dress and sparkly silver earrings; her arm tattoo of flowers with the text “do no harm but take no shit” is visible

New haircut ahoy! I adore my hairdresser. We had an extended chat about kink and drugs while she cut my hair.

Kate on a sunny day, smiling, wearing black sunglasses and a black leather jacket. She has a fresh haircut – shaven short on the sides and longer on top.

“Sexiness is about sensuality & physicality; it’s about the way you engage the senses to create a particular feeling or experience. Sex, after all, is about the body’s perceptions; the more you can bring all one’s senses into play, the sexier… you can be.”

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility.

Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying.

All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

un petit excerpt of my rant about why “open-phone policies” make me want to throw toxic heterosexuality into the sea

Kate Sloan (she/her) @katesloan.com · 2d

This was Starting Over (1979). It was okay. Pretty standard love triangle flick, which, as a poly person, I always find facile/frustrating 😂

but Jill Clayburgh is excellent in it (+ Oscar-nominated), an Annie Hall-esque proto-manic pixie dream girl character. Like Zooey Deschanel if she was a mess.

captioned version for TikTok ✨

this song goes out to anyone who’s ever felt like a loser for not having “enough” sex, or “the right kinds” of sex, or sex with “the right people”…

the best sex life is the one you want, whatever that may be!

My chronic illness is significantly more tolerable since getting on low-dose naltrexone. If I skip it for even a day or two, the full-body pain comes roaring back, and I think, “I can’t believe I used to live this way every day.” But of course, I only lived that way because I thought I had to. 💙

Alongside @404media.co, we sued DHS demanding they hand over a copy of an agreement that shares the personal data of nearly 80 million Medicaid patients with ICE.

We believe it’s important for the public to see this unprecedented data sharing agreement.
