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
OK Highway Patrol Captain George Brown says the best “tip” for women to not get raped by a cop is to “follow the law in the first place so you don’t get pulled over.” http://youtu.be/BO8g8akPWcY (Last third of the video).
Three serial rapists in 3 weeks arrested in Oklahoma, all cops.

u know when u scroll past a post because it’s talking about a serious topic? for example a national crisis in a different country or a donations post detailing abuse or just something triggering to you, because you don’t have the emotional capacity to deal with it at that exact moment? that’s okay. you don’t have to feel like a bad person just because a tumblr user said “don’t scroll!!!” you can scroll. if you know something will be triggering, you should never feel bad for skipping it.
I thought I made this post last night but it isn’t showing up on my blog so here goes:
If you are I am not charging for the soap but if you are able to provide some money for postage it is appreciated. However if you cannot get soap in your area and you cannot afford postage we will work something out. There are a limited number of varieties available but if you have a preference let me know and I will try to get that type first.
In this time with global shortages I don’t feel right profiting off of something that has a scarcity and if I can help anyone I will.
Final note: If you are able to get soap in ypur area please share the post but do not try to get a bar. It’s hard right now for a lot of people to get access to basic supplies.
Thanks, y’all.
so apparently some people feel like it’s annoying when someone engages with a lot of stuff from the same person, like going through their ship tag and liking all the content there.
hearing about this, i was immediately paranoid about reblogging literally anything from anyone i don’t talk to on a regular basis.
so to save others from the same paranoia, i’m gonna say that if you like every single post on my goddamn blog it is okay. i might be kind of concerned about your level of time management, going through 23,000 posts, but it wouldn’t bother me.

TIL that the relationship I have with my partners is called an open equal triad. Finally I don’t have to explain it as “see I’m dating A and B, and A and B are dating! But A is also dating C, while B and I aren’t.” Thanks @thebibliosphere!
“People have always felt a sort of ownership over art, and that’s actually good. It’s why you keep a book on your shelf and return to it, it’s why you hang a picture on your wall that speaks to you. But when this gets out of hand and you mistake access or a personal connection with your rights, as happens so often in our Internet age, it leads to a dangerous sense of entitlement. That’s why readers feel empowered to complain, directly to the creator, that a book or show doesn’t have absolutely everything they want: the romantic pairing they’d hoped for, the language they find most friendly, the ending they desired. And it’s also why, for instance, the last Harry Potter book leaked on the internet before it was officially published: fans saw the book as something they were owed, not the product of labor that deserved compensation. Not that J.K. Rowling needs more money—but she, and all authors, deserve to have their work recognized as work.
“Consumers hold a pernicious power, so this trend towards free content won’t reverse itself unless we want it to. This is a sad thing, and we will all be much worse off if we can only hear stories from people who can afford to write.”
I hope this can be a safe space for all who need it. (He/him. Spoonie. I’m over 18.)
