Unstained
What started as a book reco from a new teammate (Rach Newman) evolved into Unstained, a zine dedicated to women and gender non-conforming folks who want to undo the lies they’ve been sold about their bodies, pleasure, and intimacy. Inspired by the work of Emily Nagoski, Unstained takes a pop-culture approach to the kind of reading not everyone has time for, minus weird articles about how to orgasm 30 times a day. Edition 2 available upon request.

“Just subscribed to Unstained and HAD to tell you both how joyous I am to see what you’re building here. It is so meaningful and I cannot wait to read/see/hear more! Please let me know if there are any additional ways I can support outside of my pledge ❤️ I came out RIGHT before the pandemic hit so I feel like in many ways I am just starting to get to explore many facets of my sexuality, and I literally JUST learned about responsive vs. spontaneous desire from my therapist so, Em, your most recent post HIT hard. THANK YOU for creating this!”
“Thank you for doing something like this. [my daughter] will grow up in a world where she will feel less shame about her body than we did because of your work and the space you are creating for this type of self love. ”
“I get paid to literally not have a voice. To take on someone else’s definition of how to talk and how to be. And, I’m very good at it. It feels like a full circle moment to lend my true voice for Unstained.”
