EdenFantasys takes on World AIDS Day, for a week.

This is the most amazing thing. I'll definitely be tweeting that hashtag like crazy.

Wanted to remind anyone that wants to join in that they can definitely do so. Eden Cafe is still accepting AIDS related posts of both the personal and educational type. Speak up!

I actually dusted off my barely-used Twitter account a little while ago to RT. That is, after Victoria showed me how to do it. Because she’s nice. And I long ago gave up trying to compress my verbosity into 140 characters.

Calling oneself ‘verbose’, by the way, is a gentlemanly way of saying that you are kinda sorta like full of it. Which is totally okay. This is why we built an internet.

Anyhoo. Keep reading (and watching!) this week’s essays on Eden Cafe and Sexis! And keep up the RTs! less

We’re doing a week of meaningful content related to World AIDS Day. For us, it’s all about education and community – the two founding principles at EdenFantasys.com. As many know, World AIDS Day is Tuesday, December 1st. To commemorate this day, Eden Fantasys has launched a new weeklong project.You may be familiar with AIDS Service Center of New York City, an amazing frontline nonprofit organization that provides a multitude of services and programs relating to AIDS. We want to raise awareness for ASC and the tremendous support they provide. To get everyone involved, we’re doing a Twitter fundraiser; to help raise money, all you have to do is retweet. If our hashtag, #Eden1K4AIDS, gets 1,000 tweets from 1,000 people, we’ll give ASC NYC $1,000! We’ve also filmed two videos, to give you more insight to ‘A Day in the Life at ASC-NYC’; they will be debuting this week.To commemorate World AIDS Day 2009, SexIs and Eden Café present a special series of essays from the personal to the universal. Discover the innate mistakes and kindnesses of people, the spirit of community, the necessity of anger, and the absolute power of hope.The World AIDS Day Project is comprised of a variety of new articles and essays – both personal and academic, on Eden Fantasys’ sex magazine SexIs, as well as on EF’s blog, Eden Café.
