"I'm just a jealous person. I couldn't ever handle #polyamory because #jealousy is part of me."
Jealousy is not a feeling or a personality trait. It is an underlying symptom of another unmet need. Most people take it as its own thing and don't explore it further, and that's what causes it to be so powerful and toxic.
But if you find the root of it (e.g. a feeling of possession of your partner(s), a fear of abandonment, a desire to be a higher priority in someone's life…) and work on that part of yourself, you tend to find yourself a lot happier as a result.
This isn't really one piece but a series of tiny essays all about polyamory and my experience of it. Some bits are serious and tender, some are a bit silly, but that's life, isn't it?
Hey, I'm blinry! I create digital tools and games, and digital art. I mostly use Mastodon to share my joy about things I learn or create. Welcome, everyone! :)
I love my communities: the Chaos community, Jugend Hackt, the Recurse Center.
One time, someone said to me "I want a big family" and I was like "Me too", but then I found out that they meant "have a bunch of children". I had meant "have a big polycule".
Hello everyone! I guess it's time for an #introduction!
I'm a 24-year-old poly non-binary lesbian, web dev by day and writer by night. I love learning and sharing about any subjects related to LGBT+ rights and history, #feminism, #polyamory#scifi and #journaling. I would love to learn more about #gardening as well!
I speak French, English and Spanish.
Nice to meet you all! :lesbian_heart: :blobhaj_flag_nonbinary:
Being #ethicallynonmonogamous doesn’t make us immune to finding, or being, bad partners. In fact, it can be argued that we are more at risk, having fewer examples to follow.
So I’m going to take this opportunity to go through a few of the Red Flags you may encounter in #polyamory. Some are ones you and a partner can work on, while others are a sign that you need to Nope right out of there right now.
Bonus eyeroll points for including this bullshit: "I think it’s a little selfish to expect one person to fulfil all your needs, until one or other of you dies."
Am heutigen 23. November ist Polyamory Day!
An diesem Tag im Jahr 2011 entschied ein kanadisches Gericht, dass das dort geltende „Anti-Polygamie-Gesetz“ nicht auf polyamore nicht-formalisierte Lebensgemeinschaften anwendbar ist.
Damit war klar, dass Polyamorie in Kanada nicht straftbar ist. 2017 wurde in Kanada der erste Polyamory Day zelebriert. Seitdem wird er jedes Jahr begangen.
Lasst uns heute Polyamorie in all ihren Formen feiern!
Love is infinite. It grows and shapes itself around anyone and anything we care about. It doesn't run out. We can love just as many things and creatures as we have time to appreciate. #Polyamory is a part of this; for creatures who feel it's right for them, showing multiple creatures the love in one's heart is magical and special.
Don't be shy to show your love, there is always more to give. Just be conscious of your time and energy, and be sure to show yourself plenty of love too! You deserve it!!

i'm an ADHD autist and i love getting to know people, but still learning how to make room for myself. i also suffer from complex PTSD and other disabilities, which have resulted in my plurality. i’m happy to meet singlets and other systems alike! :plural_ampersand:
i care deeply about accessibility and disability rights, queer rights, racial equality—really the whole spectrum of human rights (intersectionality is important!) as well as animal rights and environmental issues. honestly, i just care a whole-heckin-lot! :heart_progress: :ms_globe:
unfortunately, this causes a lot of overwhelm and i’m struggling to balance effective activism with self-care. so i might not always be able to engage or research as thoroughly as i’d like. i do what i can to make informed choices and reduce harm, and i’m hoping to curate a space for myself that offers at least some relief from the dumpster fire we live in. :dumpster_fire:
there's probably still a million-billion things i'd like to add but can't remember. above all, the most important thing you need to know about me is that my favorite color is blue. :ms_heart_blue:
