Love Beyond Monogamy: How Polyamory Can Enrich Your Spirituality, Faith, and Relationships How Polyamory Can Enrich Your Spirituality, Faith, and Relationships

You should also check out @thisisbgm.bsky.social’s new book, LOVE BEYOND MONOGAMY—it is FAB! bookshop.org/p/books/love...

If polyamorous people can figure out how, where, and with who to spend holidays when having 3 partners, I promise you and your parents and your in-laws can work it out.

oh man, and relatedly "is it 'I'm just trying this to please you' or 'I think it would be a good and healthy thing for me to stretch and grow a bit'????"

“Waiting until marriage”
Monogamy
Chastity cages

are all different flavors of power exchange play—just with varying levels of consent and coercion

Sorting out “do I not like this? or am I ashamed to like this?” is such a thorny task sometimes…

Sex and romance are not at odds.
Neither are promiscuity and commitment.
Nor autonomy and interdependence.

You are big enough to hold it all.

one of my niche skills is regularly leaving one of the top 2 most liked comments on Instagram reels. the sense of creative accomplishment it gives me!

My friend @thisisbgm.bsky.social wrote a book! I just finished reading an ARC and it’s really good! Check out my review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
And pre-order it for yourself!

When listening on AirPods Pro does music sound better with Apple Music vs Spotify? Or am I having auditory hallucinations?

It's difficult to estimate just how much pain this man caused, both directly and through others he infected with his hateful perversion of faith and spirituality.

What Law of the universe is it that all the guys on Grindr want to meet IMMEDIATELY after you give up and get off??

“We outlived James Dobson” is little comfort to me as I have a number of dear friends who didn’t outlive him.

He’s not the only reason they’re gone, but he made this world a place where it was that much harder for them to survive.

May we see the end of fundamentalism speedily & in our days.

Additionally no other country on earth has the policing capability of the U.S. And those of us who have spent our adult lives warning about what this would mean, can only say that people should have moved decades ago to shrink law enforcement and in some of our estimation to abolish it.

Ben Rhodes said something on All In last night that I've been saying for years. The reason US fascism is qualitatively different than in other countries is that the U.S. has every possible weapon AND mass surveillance ALREADY. No other country on earth can surveil its population like this one.+

Finally, I said years ago, and folks who have followed me for a long time know this is true, that defunding the police was a moderate demand that is actually the basement in terms of what's needed. I said that liberals will be deeply sorry that they turned that demand into some kind of bogeyman.

This is how you do it. Troll tweeting is cute for a minute. Actual action and protection is better.

Thanks, gov ❤️🏳️‍🌈

There are parents out there really truly trying to do their best, and they turn to people they trust. And those people pass on bigotry where they should pass on love.

Bad theology kills.

… And he did.

I think him doing that saved our relationship.

My heart goes out to all the relationships James Dobson destroyed.

After I came out, there was a period where my dad and I were really struggling to talk about it. A few months in, he told he’d bought a book to try to understand better.

I looked and saw it was endorsed by Focus On The Family.

I told him it wasn’t to going to be helpful and to throw it away…

There’s a special kind of joy that comes with playing wingman for your husband

Live a life where people aren't happy when you die.

Two things can be true:

- I want to believe no one is irredeemable
- James Dobson made the world a worse place and we are better off without him

May those of us still here work to undo all the harm he wrought upon us.

I would choose to be gay.

Over and over and over again.

The Confederates never took DC and they’re still made about it. There’s always work to be done to build a more just world, but man oh man is Washington DC precious.

My heart with the city whose shadow I grew up in 🫶

Do you love HIM or do you love what he does for you? How he makes you feel? How others perceive you? There’s a big distinction there.

i live in the burnt out husk of minneapolis and when i had hair, it was blue! I'm tougher than you snowflakes!

what if love is bigger, wider, deeper than we ever imagined?
let's find out together.

I know Cuomo is trying to rehab his image post-primary defeat but honestly... every time he posts, he says something that makes me like him even less

THANK YOU SO MUCH CLAIRE! You are such an inspiration!
