New episode of the podcast featuring @theaprilflores out now! April is a porn performer, model and artist from Los Angeles. Sheâs the star of Fat Girl, a fine art book that documents 12 years of her erotic art practice with the photographer Carlos Batts. In 2005, she got her start performing in porn with Belladonna and in 2014, she became the first performer to win the AVN Award for BBW Performer of the Year. Sheâs won a Feminist Porn Award for her work in âLesbian Curves 3: Soft Girls and Strap Onsâ and wrote about beauty and embodiment in Tristan Taorminoâs The Feminist Porn Book: The Politics of Producing Pleasure. We talk about learning the term âzaftigâ and she clears up my misunderstanding of what a FUPA actually is.
Sheâs the first Tierney Talks guest to have her own masturbator toy and tells us all about the molding process (sheâs the first BBW to be molded for such a toy & the Amazon reviews are worth reading!) We talk about entering the porn industry as a hobbyist, weed and body dysmorphia and the plus-size amount of work left to do in the fat acceptance movement! We also talk about fat representation in porn vs mainstream fashion and entertainment, enjoying her exhibitionism and her female fan base. April describes the way making porn fulfills her interests in filmmaking and says her main career motivation is to be visibly naked, fat, fucking, having fun and getting paid for it. And weâre smoking weed and wearing lingerie the whole time! Available on Apple, Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher, etc

Andrea Amez - Summer Products
Andrea Amez is one of my favorite people to speak to in general, but especially about everything to do with skincare, beauty and wellness. Oddly enough, we didn't discuss any products her first time on the podcast, but today she's back with her favorite hair conditioner, lip balm, body wash, deodorant, body exfoliants, facial peels and more in tow.
Find the full list of products discussed here: http://bit.ly/TierneyAmezSummerProducts
Amez explains what my âacid mantleâ is, how it differs from my skin's âmicrobiomeâ and how probiotic skincare impacts them both. She illuminates the thinking behind "vibrational" and "energy-based" products intended for emotional and spiritual results. She shouts out some of her favorite product lines (@aliangeskincare, @agentnateur, @oseamalibu + dozens more), calls herself a âbody wash slut" and answers all my questions.
Such as:
- Should I buy the big bottle of rosewater with glycerin or without?
- What's the difference between $6 hyaluronic acid serum and $300 hyaluronic acid serum?
- Are these vegan gummies really going to hydrate my skin?
- How should I use my new Rose Quartz roller from @chakrubs?
- Why are my freckles more visible directly after sun exposure?
- Is it bad to love products?
Fresh off a trip to Mendocino, I discuss the cannabis tourism industry and wonder about what the next big cannabinoid will be (THC and CBD are 2 / 113). I also talk about William Randolph Hearst printing racist lies about weed in his newspapers because he owned huge timber holdings and paper mills and felt threatened by hemp paper. I hit my @leunebrand vapes and sip @kikoko_hq weed tea until I begin to wonder if I'm saying half the names of these beauty brands right.
I describe being in the operating room during a strangerâs Brazilian Butt Lift and the psychological reasons people love picking at their partner's skin too, both based on @wearemel stories.

Paula Kahn - Running For Office
New episode of Tierney Talks with @paulakahn2020. Paula Graciela Kahn is a congressional candidate currently running to represent Californiaâs 30th District â the San Fernando Valley. Celebrate this âholidayâ by listening to a femme against fascism. We talk about the just transition - as in a shift âfrom an exploitative, extractive, global war economy to a cooperative, regenerative network for local peace economies.â
Paula tells me about how volunteering in Tijuana & observing atrocities at the border & in detention centers inspired her to run for office. She calls to shut down the Adelanto Detention Center in San Bernardino & describes her experiences advocating for detained friends in ICE centers. Paula wonders why ICE budgets are increasing when people are dying in ICE facilities, explains the immigration detention & deportation industry & shares how 9/11 & the Iraq War activated ICE.
We explore her non-profit Cosmovisiones Ancestrales & the notion of using drugs to support people who are victims of state violence through demobilization, disarmament & reintegration. We discuss the first scholarly article about âcult mushroomâ ceremonies, how it fueled psychedelic tourism & the present need to create ecological preserves to protect plant medicine. Paula also imagines the recodification of psychedelics & other indigenous plant medicine by white venture capitalists & Western companies patenting indigenous medicine (a la the legal marijuana industry).
We also discuss the deficit of Latinx femmes in Congress & healing as nonlinear. We talk about the housing crisis in the San Fernando Valley & inclusionary zoning. The incumbent candidate, Congressman Brad Sherman, hasnât done enough in regards to these issues. Heâs been in office since 2013 :( Sheâs sick of trusting strangers to protect her community â please support Paula at the ballot in March! Raise your expectations for who your local rep could be! Send this to someone who votes in the Valley & donate to her campaign via the link in the bio. $5 helps!! More if youâre rich!!! Paula is the most PLUR congressional candidate of all time, promise. Follow her too <3
