Love crimethinc's The Hotwire but I don't think 5 minutes of Rebel Girl yelling at everyone about how they're doing polyamory wrong and reading too many books about it is going to reach a lot of people. 😑

I can't think of a worse way to spread polyamory, "relationship anarchy" or what have you than by telling people that their relationships aren't radical enough.

Even if that's sometimes true.

@kitoconnell I'm poyamorous by nature, and practiced it for the better part of two decades, but right now my relationship *looks* thoroughly cis/het/monogamous/vanilla. anybody who comes at me with "YOUR RELATIONSHIP ISN'T RADICAL ENOUGH" is likely to get a face full of radical, with teeth. :D

@green Im in a very similar relationship RN actually. We're open & queer af but don't necessarily "look like it" and I def. don't consider myself a "relationship anarchist" (tho that seems to work great for a lot of people).

We've stepped off the relationship escalator together and feeling judged because I'm not, I dunno, regularly attending orgies or dating an extensive & highly visible network of queerdos is some gatekeeping BS
