UPCOMING EVENTS
I'm super excited to be doing more in-person events, especially at festivals! I'll be speaking at We Out Here Festival this month - come to the Talks Tent at 2:45pm on Saturday 17th August to see my talk on threesomes! It'll be similar to the one I did at Glastonbury.
RECENT HIGHLIGHTS
My most popular video this month was 'How To Spot A Pokemon Polyamorist', where I share how some polyamorous people go about their practice in incredibly unethical ways and how it affected one of my close friendships. It's highly likely you've come across a pokemon polyamorist in your life (or maybe been burned by one), and this video will prime you on the red flags you shouldn't ignore!
This Month on Patreon:
I shared my top tips on anxious-avoidant patterns, emotional management, and neurodivergence as part of my monthly Q&A
I did a workshop on Polyamory and ADHD, which is now available for download
I reached 165k followers on Instagram and did a Q&A
I recorded 2 audio essays on unicorn hunting and new relationship energy
I finally completed my 3-part series on Polyamory and Sexual Assault, chronicling the events of an incredibly hectic but lesson-filled time from March this year when one of my partners assaulted a friend of mine. Part 3: 'Anger, Injustice, and Regret' is now out, and here are parts 1 and 2.
And of course, I had a monthly photo dump - including a last-minute holiday in Naples and the Amalfi Coast as a replacement for the boyfriend of my best friend from university, who was dumped by him the day before what would have been their couple's trip, and a (planned) holiday in Edinburgh with Taylor!
