There was a question about how to meet poly folx, and my first thought was go where they are - as in what is the overlap between one's interests and poly folx? This link is to a more specific subset of events where one can find like minded people. The question: Where have you found to be a good place to meet polyamorous people?

I wanted to include links to other related communities in this community. I was trying to come up with terms for all these related relationship types, and then I remembered that this venn existed. I've seen numerous versions of this previously. This one happens to come from (https://polyadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nonmonogamy3-large-768x512.png) or REALLY ENORMOUS (https://www.xeromag.com/sexualinformatics/nonmonogamy2.5.2.gif) See, I even credited my source. :-D

I'd like to put links on the sidebar to communities that relate to our topic of polyamory, of all sorts. I can't find them all by myself, so I'm asking for help from our lovely burgeoning community. Whatcha got?

I didn't see it this morning when I was searching. I'm pretty sure we should migrate there, before this whole thing gets outa hand. Does anyone see any reason to not join with (https://lemmy.world/c/polyamory)?

Edit: I find a plurality of support for keeping this community, based on the principle of strength through diversity. Let's DO THIS THING!!

I thought to post a poly flag for the community, but was reminded on searching, that there are a lot of them. What flag or image do you like? Maybe I'll cycle them thru? https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=polyamory+flag&iax=images&ia=images

Edit: As the community is new I'd like to roll with this thread for a couple weeks, and hope others will make suggestions, offer opinions, etc. And then I propose we have a poll to decide the fiag or flags. If multiple flags get chosen, then we can cycle them. I suggest a ranked choice vote, as it's more in keeping with my understanding of the philosophy of polyamory, supports all our community in it's diversity, and anarchistic.

I searched this morning for communities related to polyamory and open relationships. Finding nothing, I created something. If you are interested in polyamory, open relationships, ethical non-monogamy, etc, swing on by for a chat, to post something silly, as you will.

Open relationships have existed throughout human history. Though the word "poly-amorous" was first found in literature in the Green Egg Magazine in May 1990. And In May of 1992 created a usenet group (alt.polyamory), which I have to wonder, is usenet still out there? And then on the 27th of July 2024, I noticed there was no Polyamory magazine on the Fediverse. It's my understanding that in the early days of creating the internet (where we currently find ourselves), when one finds something that doesn't yet exist there lies an opportunity to create it. So I'm out here on the edge of Internet-space creating a place, and calling for others to join me in developing a place for conversations, etc, in support of mutually supportive relationships, in support of polyamory and a better world.

Actually we DID. Tho' only for a little while. And the results were enormous. The B/Yamgata Influenza lineage appears to have gone extinct. The cool part is we weren't even trying to do anything with those specific efforts to affect influenza. All of which should encourage us to cooperate more.

I've long been annoyed that everyone, including myself uses Paypal/ Venmo for moving money around. What alternatives do you find useful? Here's a list (https://alternativeto.net/software/venmo/). GNU Taler looks viable (https://taler.net/en/index.html). I would love to have your thoughts!

Edit: Thanks for everyone's input. I really appreciate it. <3

Answering the real question: "The scientists tested 23 human testes, as well as 47 testes from pet dogs. They found microplastic pollution in every sample." Saved you a click.

Not as much fun as the title, and more to the point: Lauren Fleshman, the US national champion in the 5000m in 2006 and 2010, shared even harsher criticism in an Instagram post, writing: “I’m sorry, but show me one WNBA or NWSL team who would enthusiastically support this kit. This is for Olympic Track and Field. Professional athletes should be able to compete without dedicating brain space to constant pube vigilance or the mental gymnastics of having every vulnerable piece of your body on display. Women’s kits should be in service to performance, mentally and physically. If this outfit was truly beneficial to physical performance, men would wear it.” She added: “This is not an elite athletic kit for track and field. This is a costume born of patriarchal forces that are no longer welcome or needed to get eyes on women’s sports. ... Stop making it harder for half the population @nike @teamusa @usatf.”

LoL, no surety, no bond, and now #45 has hooked another criminal (Hankey) into his operation. Go for it, pull them all down.

I hope Mr. Riley is found not guilty. And that all three officers who participated in this dangerous fraud are charged and punished appropriately. Mr. Riley deserves compensation for harm done. Tallahassee, you can do better. smh.

I'm not sure what this implies. Defective ship? Was it the same captain, 8 years later? What's going on here?

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@kbin.run 105 points 8 months ago

Any rank and file citizen would be in jail already. But I'm ok with them getting the evidence and assuring that the trial happens flawlessly. Of course this all happened in 2020, so the principle of 'justice delayed, is justice denied', certainly comes to mind.

Two sections from the article: "“Closing arguments are for an advocate to comment on the evidence presented, on the relevant law, and on how the latter applies to the former to justify the result sought. Such arguments may not be used to testify, to introduce new evidence, to make a campaign speech, or to comment on irrelevant matters,” Engoron emailed Trump’s legal team on Tuesday afternoon." Ha ha

and

The judge’s warnings came after months of Trump’s unhinged speeches outside the courtroom and social media posts in which the billionaire labeled the judge a leftist hack, insulted the judge’s law clerk, and dismissed the entire trial as an empty political persecution." Who is "the billionaire" in this sentence? LoL

The rolling insurrection continues. Rep. Stefanik needs to see some charges, be removed from office, and 14th amendment prevent her from hold any office ever again. Take the gloves off Joe. No negotiation with terrorists, no kit gloves for insurrectionists.
