Blissful sex-positive vibes we're humming at Upstart & Crow, with myself and @fetner in the house. TY @UBCPress and @utpress for making it happen, and also @LenMandy for your fantastic questions ❤️

[Mandy Len Catron @LenMandy]

@Timothy_Taylor_ LOL yes!

[Mandy Len Catron @LenMandy]

Wading into the discourse about the divorce essay to say: the dislike of confessional writing is boring, predictable, and sexist.

“When I think about the love that shapes my life, I think of my partner & kids, but also of long-distance friendships, daycare workers, neighbours, & any number of intimacies we don’t have names for.”

Mandy Catron discusses the benefits of broadening our understanding of love.

[Mandy Len Catron @LenMandy]

I find it very telling that the Institute for Family Studies always uses the tag "Infidelity" for pieces about nonmonogamy. Not the most objective or thoughtful starting point for analysis.

[Scott M. Stanley @DecideOrSlide]

Of note, on Polyamory and Consensual Non-Monogamy. @KayHymowitz raises important points and thorny questions, esp about trickle down effects. Like others, I get asked about this phenomenon a lot. The buzz is real.
