Question to other people who used to be poly but are now committed to 2 or more partners.
Do you still consider yourself poly?
If it's a triad long term committed relationship, do you tell people you're poly?
I just feel like it implies we're open to more relationships when we aren't, but saying monogamous doesn't make sense either.

(Been with one boyfriend for 3 years and the other for soon 1 year).

DoomsdaysCW, to AncientHistory

So, I had to talk about ! A warrior society focused on war, women had more rights than their counterparts -- and were encouraged to be physically fit and prepared to fight to defend their homeland.

Sparta

Unlike their Greek counterparts, the women of Sparta had a lot more freedom and status. They were educated, since they would be in charge of keeping the homeland running smoothly while the men were at war – but they were also strong and able to defend themselves and their homeland.

Spartan men and women lived in separate quarters – even while married. Married couples would leave their respective quarters to procreate, and Spartan wives were required to have short hair and sometimes wore men’s clothing.

Amongst married couples, the Spartans were relatively , and women were not punished for infidelity.

TL;DR #introduction post because I'm too prone to verbosity:

  • #toplessEquality / #freeTheNipple #feminist #activist who tries to raise awareness about many other #progressive / #leftist issues using the "clickbait" of my heinous female nipples on my video series Topless Topics (you can search by subject or interviewee at https://www.toplesstopics.org to see the #patriarchy -unfriendly version on Peertube or the super- #censorship version on Youtube)
  • also a #videoGame enthusiast, mostly #survivalCrafting but down for anything but sports and realistic shooters, mostly. Also dabble in #tabletop #TTRPG s and other board games but it's hard to find the right balance between "boringly easy" and "so complicated I get too frustrated and give up before the first role of the dice"
  • #artist / crafter, mostly #digitalIllustration but dabbling in a lot in other crafts like #crochet #cosplay #painting #jewelrymaking and a lot else
  • #neurodivergent especially #ADHD and "high functioning" autism (I love to carry on conversations and try my best not to do all the talking, but I have a hard time reading peoples' true emotions so I default to thinking everyone's mad at me all the time 😂 )
  • #animal fan, especially #cat and #reptile s. All pets are good pets tho!
  • #queer #polyamorous #bisexual , pro- #sexWorker though not a sex worker myself (despite all my videos getting categorized as "sexually explicit nudity" 🙄 )
  • love watching movies and shows about #fantasy #sciFi and #horror -- #psychologicalHorror and/or so-called #elevatedHorror rather than guts and jump scares. I used to read a lot of fantasy and romance also, but social media broke my brain so I have a hard time staying focused on books now 😩
  • also love #comics especially #webcomics and #satire . Not really into superhero type comics, unless they're the newer ones like the "New 52". I prefer self-contained series with a little bit of weirdness to them like Saga, Rat Queens, and a bunch others I can't remember the names of right now. Often I'll go to the library and check out a fat stack of whatever comics they have, mostly standalones though since they rarely have multiple comic books in a series available in sequential order.

Oops I got too wordy again, better cut it off here 😅

Basically, holler at me if you're a progressive, a gamer, or a parent who is also one or both of the other two things!

toplesstopics, to Podcast
@toplesstopics@eldritch.cafe avatar

So longtime friend of the Topless Topics community mrich (as we all know him by) and I have been tossing around a idea for a while (I know, I know...this one will be good though, I promise ;p) and I could use y'alls help in solidifying the concept before we jump in to making it.

Basically, the thought is to provide two different but respectful opinions on a variety of subjects--I'm a cis white woman "coastal elite" from California, he's a cis black man from the South, and we're both and huge nerds (especially !) We're also both (and of course / ) supporters, raised / though I reject the specific label these days (I got a whole video about it at toplesstopics.org/nomorenudism if you're curious), and - I'm and , he's straight and monogamous, but totally cool with other models, as long as it's all . We also (so many commonalities!) are both quite - he's mainly into while I'm into both and .

While we're still figuring out the structure of the podcast, the idea is to have a few somewhat disparate sections to it - gaming/ / /etc, then brief reaction to current / (like , , , anti- , and so much more), and (hopefully) an interview with someone interesting ( , , , etc...whoever we can find that seems like they'd be a good fit for the pod! Then finally, maybe an "ask us anything" advice/reaction section to round out the episode.

I'm thinking we aim for <= 2 hours, one episode per month, but if we really get into it, maybe an episode every other week. I'm still gonna have to edit it and I have a lot else on my plate so I don't want to overextend myself too much. If we happen to stumble into wild success maybe I could hire someone else to do that part in the future, then we could record more often :p

On some subjects, of course I will defer to his expanded first-hand experience, like . And on other subjects, it'll be mostly my turn to step onto the soapbox, namely about what it's like to be a woman in this world. We've chatted for many hours over the years and always gotten along swimmingly, so I don't anticipate undue friction in the longterm (a benefit of having so many like-minded opinions already). But I still think we have enough difference in life experiences to provide an interesting perspective on a variety of topics.

What do you think? Does any of that seem interesting to you? What kinds of things / people to interview would you like to see on a podcast created by a pair of different similar leftist nerds? Would you listen to such a podcast? Please, lay your feedback on me! All replies welcome, as long as you're not being a total jerk ❤️

I’m interested in thought-provoking #literature, well-written #videogames, #leftist #politics, #trashTV and #baking tasty things. I used to curate and organize cultural events (I still moderate readings once in a while), and nowadays I work in #communitybased #HIVprevention.

A question for my #poly peeps about #dating: how do you find prospective new partners?

The few options I've found don't seem very promising...

#open has too few users.

Feeld's monthly cost rivals Netflix.

OKCupid's monthly cost is ridiculous.

FB Dating isn't poly-centric.

Are there better options?

New instance means I copy-paste my #introduction from my previous instance lol. So here’s my #intro!

I’m Bryn, (she/her, 25) and I live in the greater Pittsburgh area! I’m a #bisexual, #polyamorous #trans girl with a passion for #electronics, #music (especially #indie), and human interaction, i.e. #communication. I’m happiest when I’m among friends, lovers, or just other people in general!

I was a team lead in customer facing tech support for a home security company, but I gave that up after facing major #burnout. Now, I’m taking a few months to recuperate while my partners keep me alive, and I’m looking to start a #freelance #branding and #WebDesign co-op with one of said partners!

This account is not professional; I post #nsfw content on occasion. I spent too much of my life without confidence to let my newfound beauty go to waste! ​:blobcat_coy:​ This content will always be hidden behind a content warning, of course!

Definitely follow me if you like cute girls, relationship anarchy, free open-source software, or any combination thereof! Boosts are also very much appreciated, but please give higher priority to mutual aid requests and the like.

#AmWriting a hitherto uncomposed #bisexual, #polyamorous #folktale collected in 1870, in Valle, Aust Agder, in southern #Norway. Nominally AT550 (the golden bird), though the only birds are two crow witches.

This folktale even escaped the attention of Oddbjørg Høgset, the editor of Erotiske folkeeventyr (which forms the foundation of my book from 2017, Erotic Folktales from Norway), because the record lives in a letter to Peter Christen Asbjørnsen, rather than in the folktale notebooks.

Been annoyed with Doodle's more and more aggressive "pay us" stance recently, so went searching for some sort of alternative. I'm #polyamorous, working in a community of polyamorous people. Scheduling is a PAIN without polls, and also, I don't need to schedule so many meetings that it's worth paying what Doodle wants.

I'm pleased to report that Framadate (https://framadate.org/abc/en/) appears to be an awesome and free alternative. That, amusingly, I'm now going to go give money to.

Polyamory question.

Can thrupples of 1 female and 2 males marry anywhere?

I know in some countries polygamy of one male and a few females is allowed

But say a girl has two bisexual boyfriends and they're all dating each other

Can they get married anywhere? Or have a civil partnership recognised legally the same as marriage?

Dear @rowyn,
I just finished The Princess, Her Dragon, and Their Prince. It was amazingly sweet. I adored the characters to bits and finished the story happy with the ending yet sad to leave. This is a great example of positive polyamorous representation and I will be reading the rest of your work.

Dear Everyone Else, buy this charming triad romance fantasy here:
