Dispatches from across the AMP network

Dear AMP Community,
Kudos to you for being here. Maybe you’re working together with your neighbors to take care of each other, maybe you’re teaching people how to maximize their orgasms, maybe you’re just waking up and breathing. You’re surviving a global pandemic the likes of which we haven’t seen in a century. So whatever you’re doing, it’s enough.
The live cam of jellyfish was the most clicked link in our last dispatch, so we took that as a hint that folks need pleasure above all else right now. We’ll still get to the resourceful good stuff, but first let’s find some joy.
If you have resources you would like shared in future newsletters, please contact
[email protected] or use the hashtag #AMPCollectiveCare on social media.
