Yumi Stynes Instagram - TRIGGER WARNING

Do not swipe on if stressed or triggered by death threats, threats of violence, racism.

ALSO - in pile-ons of yesteryear I have posted some of the hate I received and the result was huge outpourings of sympathy and support. 

While I deeply welcome support and activism, I am not posting these screenshots with a need for that:

I feel well supported, I have a good community around me, and most of all -- I believe so passionately in the good that these 'WELCOME TO' books do for young people. 

The books are so rigorously checked and resourced and researched. To write the book we literally assembled a team of professors, doctors, researchers, sex educators, people who are experts in abuse prevention and body safety education.

All we wanted to do was the absolute best for our young readers. It was crucial to our personal ethics. So there is no insecurity nor concern from me about Welcome to Sex. 

What does concern me is impunity: 

The impunity with which men think that they can attack women. 

It's a concern of mine and it will continue to be an ongoing concern, and the best way these abusers can be called to account is by shining a light on them. 

It's all their own shitty words from their own shitty minds, posted from their own shitty accounts. 

Welcome to accountability, shitbags.

Yumi Stynes Instagram - Like a lot of children of a migrant parent, I can sometimes struggle to help my mum to understand what I do for a living: "A what? A podcast?? Is that like the RADIO? When can I listen? What channel?!" (etc etc you get the idea.)

Truth is, I don't think she's ever listened to any of my podcasts, including the one she's appeared on a couple times, Ladies We Need to Talk (ABC listen app!) 

One thing she DOES understand is this kind of straight up metric. 

#1 and #3. So this is for you to see Yoshiko!! Love you! 🇯🇵🙏🏼😍

Thanks to everyone else for, well...

 ...you know what you did. 😭😭♥️♥️😭😭

Yumi Stynes Instagram - I lost interest in fashion when I realised how boring and destructive clothes consumption is and have been trying for a "Warhol wardrobe" of a relatively unchanging, achromatic uniform to wear most occasions. This also means wearing and re-wearing stuff I bought years ago. I hope for my clothes and looks to be the least interesting thing about me. 😛

Yumi Stynes Instagram - WHICH ONES DO YOU HAVE?

The latest book in the 'Welcome to' series is 'Welcome to Sex' - out May 17 🔥📚👏🏽

I've been reflecting on why there's a need for this book. 

Did you see @jessicahelenhill and @tosca_looby17's show on SBS 'ASKING FOR IT'? It started a lot of conversations about consent and sex.

It spelled out the need for clear-eyed, unflinching sex education. Particularly for young people. And while school sex ed continues to be timid and fear-based, hamstrung by religion and politics, PORN is taking ideas around sex and galloping our kids into new and dangerous territory.  And let's be honest: we're not in control of that horse.

What's the antidote? 

The antidote to the shitty messages that kids get from porn is

SEX EDUCATION. 

Porn can NOT be the only depictions and explanations of sex that our kids receive! No!

If schools can't provide it, we parents can. And if we, as parents, don't know the answers to all our kids' questions and worries? Or if we're worried we'll get it wrong or say something embarrassing? We can consult trusted, researched resources.

Pre-order our book through the link in my bio or look for it in every bookstore this coming week.
Yumi Stynes Instagram - I DO NOT KNOW where to start with how epic Divorce Party was!!
Last night in Naarm the@brunswickballroomaus was packed early, as was the the dance floor.
@clementine_ford held everyone in stillness and reverence - then laughter and release.
Everyone had a story.
I don't think there was one person there who left without connecting with another human. 🙏🏼
Tears, laughter, friendship and dancing.
I think we should do it again.
What you reckon?

Yumi Stynes Instagram - I got divorced last year.

It was FASCINATING how few rituals there are in our culture to mark what is, for the most part, a pretty positive step forward in the lives of people who have ended a marriage.

So I threw a little party with my nearest and dearest and it was hilarious and fun, cathartic and a great opportunity to acknowledge that there are some key support humans who help a sister out when things are going to hell in her private life.

Are you one of those key support people?

Or have you been supported by your mates through your own break-up?

@Clementine_Ford and I are throwing a party to underline the great big f^cking threshold that is crossed when we transition from being married to being divorced.
AND the unreal bonding that comes when your friends step up and say, "I gotcha." 😭

It's called DIVORCE PARTY and YOU'RE INVITED.

Expect loud music.
Dancing.
Loud women.
Unapologetic raucousness.
Lols.
Ceremony.
Speeches.
Cake cutting.
Music by Fee B Squared and Libby O'Donovan.

Friday February 16 at Brunswick Ballroom in Melbourne. Tix from the link in my bio or brunswickballroom.com.au
Yumi Stynes Instagram - MANY of the discussions around consent, the putrid effects of porn on real-world sex, and keeping us all safe in moments of intimacy - come back to teaching about sex and consent - AND STARTING THAT TEACHING YOUNG.

This book is coming out in 2 weeks. And I like to think of it as a bit like the book L-platers read before hitting the road. It is a book for young ones who aren't necessarily practising any partnered sexual activities but who are curious enough to google - and whose parents would prefer this early (and influential!) info come from legitimate and researched sources who understand exactly who their audience is -- rather than the unbounded limitlessness of the internet. 

YES, it's frank, and YES, it talks about stuff that parents might find embarrassing. Research shows that kids don't necessarily want to talk about sex with their parents. It's common. But parents? I hope this is a reassuring resource that you can slap down on your kid's desk feeling confident that this info is setting them up for safer, happier lives. 

Pre-order via the link in my bio. 

And before you ask "what age, exactly?"
It depends where your kid is at in maturity. Roughly 10-15 years old but I'd be happy with a mature and smart 8-yo having a flick through.

Truth is, I don't think she's ever listened to any of my podcasts, including the one she's appeared on a couple times, Ladies We Need to Talk (ABC listen app!) 

One thing she DOES understand is this kind of straight up metric.

Yumi Stynes - 2.4K Likes - WHICH ONES DO YOU HAVE?

The latest book in the 'Welcome to' series is 'Welcome to Sex' - out May 17 🔥📚👏🏽

I've been reflecting on why there's a need for this book. 

Did you see @jessicahelenhill and @tosca_looby17's show on SBS 'ASKING FOR IT'? It started a lot of conversations about consent and sex.

It spelled out the need for clear-eyed, unflinching sex education. Particularly for young people. And while school sex ed continues to be timid and fear-based, hamstrung by religion and politics, PORN is taking ideas around sex and galloping our kids into new and dangerous territory.  And let's be honest: we're not in control of that horse.

What's the antidote? 

The antidote to the shitty messages that kids get from porn is

SEX EDUCATION. 

Porn can NOT be the only depictions and explanations of sex that our kids receive! No!

If schools can't provide it, we parents can. And if we, as parents, don't know the answers to all our kids' questions and worries? Or if we're worried we'll get it wrong or say something embarrassing? We can consult trusted, researched resources.

Pre-order our book through the link in my bio or look for it in every bookstore this coming week.

@clementine_ford held everyone in stillness and reverence - then laughter and release.
Everyone had a story.
I don't think there was one person there who left without connecting with another human. 🙏🏼
Tears, laughter, friendship and dancing.
I think we should do it again.

Yumi Stynes - 2.1K Likes - I got divorced last year.

It was FASCINATING how few rituals there are in our culture to mark what is, for the most part, a pretty positive step forward in the lives of people who have ended a marriage.

So I threw a little party with my nearest and dearest and it was hilarious and fun, cathartic and a great opportunity to acknowledge that there are some key support humans who help a sister out when things are going to hell in her private life.

Are you one of those key support people?

Or have you been supported by your mates through your own break-up?

@Clementine_Ford and I are throwing a party to underline the great big f^cking threshold that is crossed when we transition from being married to being divorced.
AND the unreal bonding that comes when your friends step up and say, "I gotcha." 😭

It's called DIVORCE PARTY and YOU'RE INVITED.

Expect loud music.
Dancing.
Loud women.
Unapologetic raucousness.
Lols.
Ceremony.
Speeches.
Cake cutting.
Music by Fee B Squared and Libby O'Donovan.

Friday February 16 at Brunswick Ballroom in Melbourne. Tix from the link in my bio or brunswickballroom.com.au

Caption : I got divorced last year. It was FASCINATING how few rituals there are in our culture to mark what is, for the most part, a pretty positive step forward in the lives of people who have ended a marriage. So I threw a little party with my nearest and dearest and it was hilarious and fun, cathartic and a great opportunity to acknowledge that there are some key support humans who help a sister out when things are going to hell in her private life. Are you one of those key support people? Or have you been supported by your mates through your own break-up? @Clementine_Ford and I are throwing a party to underline the great big f^cking threshold that is crossed when we transition from being married to being divorced. AND the unreal bonding that comes when your friends step up and say, “I gotcha.” 😭 It’s called DIVORCE PARTY and YOU’RE INVITED. Expect loud music. Dancing. Loud women. Unapologetic raucousness.

Yumi Stynes - 2K Likes - MANY of the discussions around consent, the putrid effects of porn on real-world sex, and keeping us all safe in moments of intimacy - come back to teaching about sex and consent - AND STARTING THAT TEACHING YOUNG.

This book is coming out in 2 weeks. And I like to think of it as a bit like the book L-platers read before hitting the road. It is a book for young ones who aren't necessarily practising any partnered sexual activities but who are curious enough to google - and whose parents would prefer this early (and influential!) info come from legitimate and researched sources who understand exactly who their audience is -- rather than the unbounded limitlessness of the internet. 

YES, it's frank, and YES, it talks about stuff that parents might find embarrassing. Research shows that kids don't necessarily want to talk about sex with their parents. It's common. But parents? I hope this is a reassuring resource that you can slap down on your kid's desk feeling confident that this info is setting them up for safer, happier lives. 

Pre-order via the link in my bio. 

And before you ask "what age, exactly?"
It depends where your kid is at in maturity. Roughly 10-15 years old but I'd be happy with a mature and smart 8-yo having a flick through.

Yumi Stynes - 1.6K Likes - HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my mother Yoshiko Stynes 🎉😍🙌🏼

We celebrated her milestone birthday last night and she was as gracious and radiant as ever 🙏🏼

Being Japanese, there's a very real likelihood she will live past 100 and I'm thankful for her ongoing health, cheerfulness and exceptionally kind wisdom. What a cool person to be related to! 😭
