Polyamorous Canadians - Legal Rights & Prenup Issues

Looking to speak with Canadians for article! Hi! I am a reporter writing for Xtra magazine about how Canadian families with more than two parents navigate the legal aspects of their relationships. As it currently stands, it's illegal under the Canadian Criminal Code to be in a marriage-like relationship with more than one person, punishable by up to 5 years in prison. Because of that, people face barriers in navigating prenup/cohabitation agreements in situations with more than two partners, meaning it's extremely complex to navigate things like property division, prenups or obligations about child custody/separation if a relationship splits up. I'm interested in speaking with any Canadians with poly/non traditional relationship structures, who might want to share a bit about how this factors into their family planning, or what it means to them as they consider the legal rights they might have in a polycule or relationship structure that might have more than one member in the future. I'm interested in speaking with people at all stages, whether you're already in a relationship structure with more than two people and want to share how you feel about the barriers you might face legally long-term, or also to people who might not currently be in a relationship but who are thinking about how this situation could impact a future partnership. If anyone would like to speak with me as part of this article, please feel free to DM me here, or email me [email redacted] I can share more details. Thank you all!

Celebrities & Semi-Well-Known Figures - National Newspaper Slots

What I'm looking for from PRs right now... I thought it might be helpful to outline what I'd like to see in my (email) inbox from PRs, organisations and business owners. And on the flipside, what I can offer you. What I'm looking for: + More celebrities/well-known people to interview for regular slots in national newspapers. (I need people who are well-known (or semi well-known) to the average person). + Tech/human rights/sustainability/travel/environment stories in/around Mexico City. Tip: Don't just email me about an organisation. Tell me what the story is. + From July: Sustainability-focused stories from outside of the regions I'm reporting on. These need to be feature ideas (I don't cover press releases - unsure what I mean? Come along to one of my workshops or check out my portfolio page on my website). + From July: Regular or ad hoc work involving interviewing and writing up case studies. Have any other content work? Drop me a DM. + Travel and sustainability stories from the Netherlands (pitches from June). I am planning to be there in October/November. (I will be looking for a place to stay, ideally around Oud West, so shout if you know anywhere). + Hosting opportunities: Moderating panels, hosting fireside interviews and round-table opportunities from July '26. Can be abroad as long as it doesn't involve flying (I love a train journey, though) as I can't justify a flight (for environmental reasons) for a panel discussion. Last year I hosted the fireside chat interview at Semrush's conference in Amsterdam (pictured) while I was already there for a six-week stint. There's a blush-worthy testimonial from the organisers on my LinkedIn profile. What I can offer: + Help bolstering your press coverage and relationships with journalists via my popular How to Secure Media Coverage workshop, which thousands of PRs and business owners have attended. The next sessions are in Newcastle, Manchester, London and Zoom from June. I am also available for private sessions, in-person and online. There's also an online course packed with loads of resources and templates. Testimonials all over my website. Links below. + Power Hours with me or another specialist hack in my journalist content agency. Want to pick a journalist's brains on how to improve a pitch? Like to drum up story ideas? Have a journalist write a knock-out thought leadership post? More details below but you can also DM me. + A free bi-monthly newsletter offering insider intel on working as a journalist, PR tips, and industry news. Join thousands of readers by subscribing via the link below. + And if anyone is looking for a seaside break, I rent out my loft apartment in Margate (two mins from the sea/Turner etc) when I'm not there. DM for details. Picture: Me on stage interviewing Andrey Khusid, chief executive of Miro at Semrush's conference last year. #journalism #PR #media

Evidence-Based Wellness Experts - Metabolism, Relationships & Money

We are currently seeking experts for my Make Peace with Food™ podcast. The show is evolving into more evidence-based, science-informed conversations that challenge mainstream thinking and help people reduce stress around health, relationships, and money. We’re especially looking to feature experts who are willing to question conventional narratives around topics such as: • Macros, protein requirements, and calorie restriction • CICO and its long-term metabolic implications • Low-fat dieting and fasting (who it supports—and who it may harm) • Artificial sweeteners and GLP-1s / Ozempic • Behavioral patterns that may impact metabolism over time We’re also inviting experts who can help audiences navigate: • Relationship stress (communication, divorce, parenting, family dynamics, cultural pressure) • Money stress (financial planning, investing, stability, and nervous-system safety around money) • Emerging topics like AI—particularly its use as a “coach” and the psychological and social impacts we’re only beginning to understand We’re a great fit for guests who: • Have research, clinical, or lived expertise (or have written a book) • Can clearly explain why something works—or doesn’t • Are comfortable respectfully challenging mainstream narratives • Bring both professional insight and real-world experience If this resonates with your work or perspective, feel free to DM me.

AI Companion Users - Experiences & Impact on Human Connection

What does our love for AI companions reveal about us? That's the question at the heart of All the Company We Keep — a 6-part radio documentary I'm developing as a media psychologist exploring one of the most quietly profound shifts in human behavior of our time. Millions of people are turning to bots for friendship, comfort, and connection. As Bryony Cole has observed, this is already mainstream — and it's not going back in the box. Research from Common Sense Media shows 72% of teenagers have already used AI for companionship at least once. And yet their voices, along with those of everyday users, are largely missing from the conversation. I'm not here to sensationalize this. I want to understand. And I want to hear directly from the people living it. I'm looking to speak with: ➡️ People who use or have used AI companions and are willing to share their honest experience ➡️ Researchers, clinicians, and ethicists working in this space ➡️ Anyone with a thoughtful perspective on where human connection is heading For context on just how urgent this conversation is becoming, the team at MIT Technology Review has called AI companionship one of their breakthrough technologies of 2026. Replika and Character.AI have millions of users worldwide forming relationships that last months, sometimes years. This series is also being made in an unconventional way — in collaboration with an AI, which raises its own fascinating questions about creativity, authorship, and what it means to connect. If you'd like to be involved, or know someone who would, please DM me or drop a comment below. Anonymity is absolutely fine. No judgment. Just genuine curiosity.

People Who Organized Living Wakes - Grief Loss Documentary

As we research our next documentary on grief, loss and end of life the current conversations emerging all around us are so helpful. Please feel free to reach out to me, just to share anything you feel is helpful or, your own personal experience. As some of you know I'm using the Listening Project podcast for research as we develop the film's core themes. I want this to make a difference if I possibly can. I learnt from the last doco that the storyline can significantly change from what you initially anticipate as you get deeper into the subject. Although I trained as an end of life doula for this project - that was more about quickly accessing information that should be broadly available to the wider community and it was indeed great training. But my belief is although some may wish to access a doula for end of life support, there is a wider socialization piece of work that the community must foster. We must not add a trendy new label to death and dying. This below storyline about living wakes is something my sister and I did consider for my mother but our broader family was not on the same page. So something to ponder. But reading James' living wake story on Valentines' Day - oh my how lovely. Slowly I suspect we are unravelling as a society the last taboo - death. It will be interesting however how the funeral industry truly responds, it is so 'product' driven, ugly word, I know. The medical profession also has a long way to go too. That said is is ours to reshape - for many it is entirely about love. Some however have complicated family relationships and strong feelings can emerge. The other thing is we are beginning to normalize the grief and loss journey we all go through but still a long way to go on this - because grief and loss impacts us all through many life stages - not just death. Education is critical to understanding our own inner worlds and the human experience. Most of us shouldn't need therapy to access information on what is a universal human experience. Workplaces must play a very important role in this. Food for thought.

Betrayal Survivors - Partner Deception & Recovery Documentary

CASTING CALL: I’ve had survivors recently tell me that the physical and mental toll of partner betrayal was more PAINFUL AND DIFFICULT than their treatment for cancer. That is a staggering statement. But for the millions of people living through partner betrayal, it is a lived reality. I am currently in production for a documentary project. Seeking Stories of Betrayal, Resilience, the architecture of deception, and healing. I am currently in production for a documentary project centered on the profound impact of partner betrayal and the psychological complexity of deception. We are looking to speak with additional individuals from three specific paths: 1. The Survivors: Those who have navigated the life altering discovery of partner betrayal. We have already heard from survivors who describe this pain as more taxing than cancer treatment, or as a force that brought them to their absolute brink.

Angoche Nampula Nacala Beira Families - Dharamcy Murarji Trade History

Last week I told you about Dharamcy Murarji — the Kutchi merchant who built a life in Angoche, Mozambique. Today, the next chapter. Because Dharamcy Murarji did not just build a business. He built an army. Twelve children.Seven sons. Five daughters.All raised in António Enes — a small port town on the northern Mozambique coast that, through the Dharamcy family, became a node in a trading network that spanned the world. Think about what it took to run a serious import business out of Nampula Province in the 1940s and 50s. No internet. No containerisation. No instant communication. Just relationships, credit, and an extraordinary ability to move goods across oceans. The Dharamcy shelves carried the world: Portugal Wine · Olive oil · Table olives · Tinned sardines New Zealand Anchor butter · Full-cream milk powder France Aged cheese · Preserved meats · Fine condiments Texas / Global Caltex petrol · Kerosene · Motor lubricants India · South Africa · Beyond Rice · Spices · Textiles · Hardware · Dry goods This was not a corner shop. This was afull-scale import and distribution operationserving the colonial administration, the settler community, the African population, and every trader in between. In a town of Angoche's size, the Dharamcy store was likely the commercial centre of the district. And the sons ran it together. Seven brothers — each with a role, each with a territory, each carrying the family name across the northern Mozambique coast. This is how Kutchi Bhatia families operated: the business was the family, and the family was the business. Capital stayed inside. Trust was blood-deep. The five daughters married into other Kutchi families — weaving the commercial network tighter still. Every marriage was also a trade relationship. Every alliance was also a distribution channel. Dharamcy Murarji — who arrived from Cutch-Mandvi with nothing — died in 1953 leaving behind not just heirs and property, but afamily enterprise that had made itself indispensableto an entire region of Portuguese Africa. That is what "making it big" looked like in Angoche in the 1940s. No stock exchange. No venture capital. Just twelve children, a global supply chain, and an unshakeable work ethic carried across the Indian Ocean from Gujarat. If your family knew the Dharamcy name in Mozambique — in Angoche, Nampula, Nacala, or Beira — I want to hear from you. These stories belong to all of us. #Dharamcy #KutchiBhatia #IndianDiaspora #Mozambique #Angoche #Nampula #EastAfrica #IndianOceanTrade #PortugueseAfrica #FamilyBusiness #CutchMandvi #Heritage #Diaspora #TradeHistory #Ancestry #Caltex

AmoLatina Users - Recent Experiences & AI Video Claims & Refunds

AmoLatina Review 2026: Is AmoLatina a Scam? Are There Really This Many Hot Latinas in Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil? Read Real User Comments and Reviews! Amolatina is a site I have a lot of history with. For about maybe half a decade I was one of their top affiliates, and I used the site myself some. It was always problematic, as this review notes. Hot Latinas, Hot Latinas! For anyone looking to connect with someone from Latin America, AmoLatina has been one of the go-to platforms for more than three decades. The site pitches itself as a bridge between Western men—mostly from the United States and Europe—and women in Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Costa Rica and other countries across the region. Video chats, live streams and virtual gifts are front and center in its marketing, promising everything from casual cultural exchanges to serious long-term relationships. But does the reality match the promise? This 2026 review digs into what actual users are saying, the persistent scam concerns, how the pricing works and whether the service is worth trying. What Is AmoLatina? Company Background and Founding AmoLatina launched in 1993 as part of the Anastasia Global network of international dating sites, the same company behind AnastasiaDate. It has operated for more than 30 years, serving users in over 40 countries. Corporate records point to several entities behind the platform. SOL Networks Limited is registered in Malta at 71 Tower Road, SLM 1609, Sliema. Other listings mention addresses in New York and connections to Xeanco Limited in Hong Kong. Customer support often directs users to a U.S. toll-free number and New York contacts. The site runs on a credit system rather than flat monthly subscriptions: members buy credit packages to send messages, view private photos or use premium features. Free registration lets you browse and receive initial messages, but real conversation usually requires payment. Packages start around $19.99 for 150 credits, with bigger bundles running into the hundreds of dollars. How the Site Works—and Why the Credit System Matters Once signed up, users see a steady stream of attractive profiles. The platform emphasizes video verification, identity checks for female members and live CamShare sessions to prove people are real. It also advertises a strict anti-scam policy that includes content moderation and the possibility of refunds when fraud is proven. Still, many reviewers say the credit model quickly becomes the main story. Messages arrive fast, chats turn emotional, and credits disappear before anyone has a chance to suggest moving the conversation off the site. That built-in pressure is a recurring theme in user feedback. Positive Experiences: When Things Actually Click Not every story ends in frustration. Some men describe genuine cultural connections that grew into something more. On the site and scattered independent reviews, you’ll find testimonials that feel heartfelt. One user named Remy wrote, “AmoLatina gave me the chance to adventure out and meet people that I may have never had a chance to know.” David M., put it simply on Sitejabber: “If you are searching for new cultural matches, AmoLatina is definitely a place you should check out.” A handful of forum posters report eventually traveling to Colombia or Mexico after weeks of verified video calls and careful gift exchanges, describing the process as expensive but ultimately rewarding. These successes tend to come from users who moved slowly, insisted on live video early and refused to stay locked inside the paid messaging system. The Darker Side: Scam Complaints and Negative User Reviews The majority of independent feedback tells a different story. On Trustpilot, AmoLatina holds a 1.3-out-of-5 rating based on roughly 278 reviews as of early 2026. Most are one-star posts that describe the site less as a dating service and more as a sophisticated monetization engine. Common complaints include scripted or copy-paste messages, profiles that use stolen Instagram or modeling photos, and replies that arrive in seconds—too fast, many say, to be human. One reviewer shared what looked like an accidental confession from the other side: “soy raul y me hago pasar por andrea jajajaaj” (“I’m Raul and I’m pretending to be Andrea, hahaha”). He added, “This is the biggest scam on the internet that I have ever seen.” Another wrote of the “promising start, then paid-chat trap,” describing “intense emotions and daily messages with zero progress toward anything real.” Financial losses can mount quickly. One detailed account on Reviews.io claimed more than $20,000 spent over nine months on a profile later exposed as a married man using a false identity. Despite screenshots and evidence, the reviewer said the site refused a refund. But none of these chat sites ever give refunds. They just don't. I do know of one guy who got a refund on SkauraDate. Is was shocked, but as a rule these companies are located overseas in regions where they simply do not care about complaints by non-resident users. If you lived in Malta you might get your money back, but otherwise.... “Site is a scam,” the post stated bluntly. Similar stories surface on Reddit, ComplaintsBoard and PissedConsumer (which scores the platform around 2.2 out of 5), where users talk about profiles that vanish once credits run low or suddenly go silent when conversation turns serious. Company replies on Trustpilot are polite—they thank users for feedback, ask for usernames and screenshots, and remind everyone that suspicious accounts get banned and refunds are issued when fraud is confirmed. Yet the volume of complaints has stayed steady for years. Safety Features Versus Everyday Reality AmoLatina does offer tools meant to build trust: profile verification, photo moderation, live video and warnings against sharing personal details too soon. The site tells members never to send money or expensive gifts and claims to screen for financial solicitations. Experts who follow the online-dating industry point out that credit-based international sites can unintentionally reward long, paid conversations even when no outright fraud is involved. The emotional investment often comes first, the financial one second, and the real-world meeting—if it ever happens—last. Pros and Cons of AmoLatina Pros Large selection of Latin American profiles Video chat and live verification options Long track record since 1993 Some users do report real connections Cons Credit system can become expensive fast Frequent reports of fake or scripted profiles Low independent ratings (Trustpilot 1.3/5) Refund complaints remain common Final Verdict: Should You Sign Up in 2026? AmoLatina is a legitimate business with real safety features, yet the pattern of user experiences shows why caution is essential. Success stories exist, but they appear to be the exception rather than the rule. Most reviewers who spent significant money advise starting small, demanding video proof early, and treating any pressure to stay inside the paid platform as a warning sign. If you decide to test the waters, use the free browsing tools first, keep conversations light until video confirms authenticity, and never send money or valuables. For the latest independent opinions, check current Trustpilot AmoLatina reviews and cross-reference multiple sources before buying credits. In the end, international online dating always carries risk. AmoLatina illustrates the classic tension: technology can open doors to new cultures, but it can also turn genuine hope into an expensive lesson. Approach it with eyes wide open, and you might avoid the pitfalls that have frustrated so many others. Conclusion I used their live video chat function some around 2015-2016. It was sort of fun, but that was before AI. If you have used it recently, I would love to hear from you. I had a guy tell me most of the live video chats were just AI now. I don't know, but I am curious. And if you ever got a refund, explain it to me.
