Author:  Gabriel Leão Abortion can be hard for many adults to understand and process, let alone for kids. As with so many potentially major life events, they are often left in the dark without any comment or explanation as if nothing happened, or receive a rigid lecture from an authority figure imposing only their singular point of view. The book "What’s an Abortion, Anyway?" proposes a new, more fluid and non-judgmental way to explain this event to the small ones.

Author:  Abigail Moss Dynamics like mine require a lot of honesty, and often speaking honestly can make you feel vulnerable, but showing vulnerability to a partner is a good way to build trust and intimacy. At the same time, you learn a lot about yourself as you're forced to ask yourself tough questions and to think carefully about what you want from a relationship and why - in turn, this makes you appreciate the reasons you want to be with your partner(s), and what it is about being with them that makes you happy. Are you having feelings for more than one person at a time? Are you interested in being romantically involved with more than one person, otherwise known as consensual nonmonogamy or polyamory?  If either or both are true, you probably already have experienced that this can be tricky to navigate. Polyamorous people have less to guide them than monogamous folks. Polyamory is becoming more widely talked about than it used to be, sure. More open minded r...

Author:  Haley Moss Disability may feel scary if you’re new to it - there is a lot of language involved to learn, maybe more medical information than you feel capable of handling, or you might have a fear about possibly being cast in a caregiver role more so than a partner. All of these fears can be dispelled or addressed through ongoing, healthy communication. In my experience, disclosure is an ongoing conversation and there is no single “correct” way to do it, but there are ways that our partners can be stronger allies. New relationships - whether romantic , sexual , or both - are almost always exciting, no matter who you are. But for people with disabilities in relationships with neurotypical, nondisabled partners, new relationships can be filled with anxiety, including anxiety about the serious conversations that need to be held. Is there a best way to tell your partner you’re disabled? As an autistic person, I’ve learned there is no “best way,” so much as being...

A day to honor those lost to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, or AIDS, it’s also a chance to remember the history of human immunodeficiency virus ( HIV ) and AIDS as well as reflect on the importance of HIV/AIDS awareness and treatment looking forward. In honor of World AIDS Day, let’s take a look together at some important information about HIV/AIDS! The Facts HIV damages the immune system’s ability to fight disease. There are lots of misconceptions about how HIV is contracted, so let me clear up any confusion. It’s spread through bodily fluids like semen , precum, rectal and vaginal fluids, breast milk and blood. It is not spread through saliva or urine . There are three stages of HIV : Stage 1 (acute HIV infection), Stage 2 (Chronic HIV Infection) and Stage 3 (AIDS).
