Recommended Reading #189: Examining Communication, Pt. II

      “How Not to Talk About Human Trafficking” by Ryan Beck Turner (Human Rights, Labor, Sex Work) Undated

This is one of the most measured, straightforward, unbiased (it seems to me) things I have ever read about human trafficking. It seems so helpful and important in a realm surrounded by distortion—both the information that seems to be thrown around it and the deeply horrific act itself.

      “How Do You Handle An Open Relationship?” on Ask A Slut! (Non-Monogamy, Relationship, Psychology) 2/16/14

I appreciate the space in Mark and Patricia’s answer for a non-dichotomous perspective on romantic relationship, and I also like how the questions are posed to oneself in addition to one’s partner(s)…I find communication with self of profound importance.

      “The incredible story of how leopard Diabolo became Spirit – Anna Breytenbach, ‘animal communicator’.” [sic] (Non-Sex-Related, Animals, Consciousness) 11/19/13

I realize this may seem a fairly long video (13 min.), and I debated including it in RR for that reason, but the truth is, I would feel simply remiss if I did not recommend it. I truly see it as so worth the time investment.
