If I’ve learned one thing about my family during quarantine, it’s that my mom worked as a gift wrapper...

Reminder that polyamorous people:
remain polyamorous even when they’re dating only one person or nobody, in the same way a bi/pan person is still bi/pan when they’re not dating someone of the same gender
are often socially ostracized and suffer discrimination and aggression, including things like being fired or kicked out of their parents’ house for being polyam
don’t have marriage rights or many other legal protections anywhere in virtually the entire world
are inherently queer. They aren’t just sometimes also queer in addition to being polyamorous - polyamory is queer
in real life you will probably not respond to harassment in a sexy, clever, scripted way where you come out with the upper hand and everyone claps. you will freeze up and your moment will pass, or your voice will shake when you tell them to stop and you’ll realize two minutes later that you’re gross and sweaty and sticky from the adrenaline. maybe you’ll be on the ball and answer in a way you actually think is pretty smart and get ignored, or they’ll get more aggressive when you mouth off to them. you almost never will walk away feeling victorious. you walk away feeling uncomfortable and relieved that it’s over. you’ll think about it later and imagine that maybe you could have said something else. maybe you’ll feel ashamed that you weren’t quicker-witted, weren’t able to cut them down to size, weren’t able to avoid that lingering sick feeling in the pit of your stomach, as though there’s some kind of magical words you could have said that would have left you feeling less powerless. there really aren’t.
