Pitch ideas, if you fancy them

Online self, offline self » How identity changes between social media, dating apps, university, work, family and different communities. Are people still creating separate online personas, or are we expected to be ourselves everywhere?

Sex, desire and intimacy » Pleasure, shame, first kisses, hookups, relationships, kink, communication, consent and everything sex education failed to teach us.

Gender, sexuality and labels » Pronouns, gender identity, coming out, being unlabelled, changing labels and moving beyond blue, pink and the binary.

Names and personas » Birth names, chosen names, nicknames, anglicised names, drag identities and the different versions of ourselves we present in different spaces.

Dating apps » Green flags, red flags, strange messages, terrible dates, profile pressure and whether dating apps have changed how students connect.

Queer life in Adelaide » Queer venues, community groups, drag, activism, student spaces and how LGBTQIA+ people are finding community in South Australia.

Identity and accessibility » Dating, intimacy, disability, chronic illness, accessibility and challenging the idea that disabled people are not sexual or desirable.

Sex positive(ly not for me)» An article regarding being ace/asexual, to present a differing perspective on queer identity that’s often overlooked when society often focuses on defining queerness based on who you want to have sex with.

Queer history » Australian and South Australian LGBTQIA+ history, including protests, legal changes, activists, venues and Pride milestones.

Make us laugh » Awkward first kisses, missed signals, dating disasters, strange app names, relationship misunderstandings, comics, quizzes and anonymous confessions.
