💡3 questions to ask yourself about your love connections:

1. Does this relationship make my world smaller or bigger?

2. What parts of me do I hide to make the other person feel comfortable?

3. What parts of me are freed, revealed, or emboldened in this relationship?

seeing the occasional monogamous person on a consent-forward, mostly queer & non-mono dating & event site normalizes the possibility of monogamy for me again. not rigid mononormativity, but the idea that a minority of people will do mono when they prob have a real choice not to.

I am excited to present in this online summit on #consensualnonmonogamies with all of these AMAZING folks!!!

[Critical Polyamorist @CriticalPoly]

@thejurisblogger i'm glad then. thank you. i figure my insisting on this space will pay off for others at some point. and if i can't live well nonmonogamously in my lifetime and at my age in a world not ready for it, my deepest joys come anyway in having gained understanding.

[Critical Polyamorist @CriticalPoly]

this world is not read for ethical nonmonogamy, only unethical monogamies.

i have so many new essays brewing once this semester is over.

[Elisabeth Sheff, PhD, CSE @DrEliSheff]

My most recent blog on Psychology Today is the first in a series that details some of the history of consensual nonmonogamies in the United States. This one begins in the 19th century and looks at the influence of anarchy, feminism…https://t.co/FhYoGkMNqK https://t.co/uyO6IPSyIo

Monogamyths to stay away from:
"I must wait to meet 'the one' who I will be compatible with, in every way"
Heck, most days I am not even fully compatible with myself! Is it really possible for another person who has a whole different history to tick every compatibility box?

[Critical Polyamorist @CriticalPoly]

@hearthipswomb Oh yes

[Critical Polyamorist @CriticalPoly]

Most times I tolerate clueless monogamists well but the relentless conflating of ENM with FWB, which is a clueless phrase too; I hope all friendships, sexual or not, have benefits. Today I'm not tolerating this unevolved behavior well.
