Active'ism

Last night I saw a fellow activist/organization published a blog post about polyamory vs. monogamy. I read through the first few paragraphs where they discussed the 3 D's that lead to relationships falling apart (distance, dysfunction, and desire).

This is where I admit not reading the second half of the article. I rushed through and assumed "Hey, they're going to talk about how polyamory can help with the desire part", gave the article my seal of approval, and sent it off to my friends via. Facebook.

The blog post came from an organization that supports "relationship choice", so it couldn't possibly involve monogamy-bashing, right?

That assumption = Egg + my face.

It's almost 2012. While I've done a lot when it comes to building and updateing polyamory-related websites, I've done next to nothing when it comes to writing here.

Even my attempt to write a series on surviving the receiving-end of jealousy/insecurity fell flat after the first 2-3 weeks...

Whoops!

Part of the reason is that I don't know what to write about that is 100% poly-specific.

So you're probably wondering ... "why the silence?"

I had some ideas on stuff to write on, but current events at the time shifted things from "this is an uber-cool thing to write about!" to "Shit. If I write about that, it'll sound tacky and targetting".  By the time that the potential dramaz died down, I had lost interest in writing and was engrossed in a kazillion other projects.

We are less than a week away from the Poly Living Seattle Conference and PLN Summit.  Between what we've seen in the media and what's being discussed on various forums, polyamory and relationship choice are hot topics. Curious about where the trends are when it comes to the polyamory movement? I will share some of the highlights here over the next several days:

Despite it being after midnight on the night before a work day (Monday even!)  I wanted to take a few minutes to get the word out on current events that have impacted a fellow activist.
