Trying to keep it positive and helpful ‘round these parts. 💙💖🖤
I give my opinion on things a lot, and while I do my best, its always an opinion and not a substitute for therapy etc etc
I’ve never made a pinned post before but I assume people would appreciate quick access to:
Oh! And I’m in charge of invites for the private polyamory tumblr community, just message me for an invite!
also I don’t post gofundmes, sorry
Severance isn't looking like its going to end in polyamory but can't we all just dream for a moment?
Yeah I wanna see the other more obvious choices for polyam relationships, but I also say let them cook with this. I was mad about it but they have the opportunity to make it right in the funniest way imaginable

I don't have much to say, but I am very thankful a blog like this one exists. Thank you!
To keep this an ask somehow, what are your opinions on all the polyamory flags? My favorite is the tricolor with a yellow heart, and the one with a pi symbol has always hurt my eyes with its contrasting colors and the symbol makes me confused on the origins of the flag. I've never seen the flag in your pfp!
You don’t have to have a question! Just as my neighbors are welcome to come by to borrow a cup of sugar or chat about the weather, my community here can always drop me a line 🥰
About the flag – you must be new here. I say that with no judgement! Everyone has to start somewhere, and we’re happy to have you! But you’ve enrolled in a history lesson: the flag used in my icon is a variation on the OG polyamory flag you referenced, that tried to fix some comment complaints while staying true to the original as much as possible. I picked one that has slightly darker/less saturated colors (for the eyestrain😵💫) and the infinity heart symbol (more intuitive representation).
Before we go any further I do want to say I don’t begrudge anyone any flag they want to use. We have way way way more important shit to worry about than *checks notes* someone using their crayons to color stripes a color we don’t like. But I have talked about the new flag thing as it was happening and again here so I won’t waste my breath on that. Now, back to the history lesson! 🧑🏫🦴
So what’s with the pi π symbol? Love, like the digits of pi, is inexhaustible, endless. This is always true, but especially relevant in polyamory. Where the assumption is that “if you really loved the first person, you wouldn’t be able to fall in love with a second” reaffirming that you can actually love without limits is a very salient point to make! Same with fears of you “loving the other person more” or that polyamory is just “shopping around” with the end goal to find one person to monogamous with (but without ever having to be single). We can and do love infinitely, plus there’s a cute little joke with these being called “irrational” numbers and love not always being that rational!!
While I went with the infinity heart because its easier to sus out and I don’t want people I don’t know asking me if I’m some kinda math nerd when I show off pride stuff, I think that underlying reasoning is very important to remember. Don’t hate on the pi symbol! (And you know, don’t hate on any of the flags, either)
My final and most important thought on the polyam flags is that they’re all dating 💕💞
Stop I know some vegans who insist plastic is more ethical I could see them saying this 😭

This is what made me realize they’re gone… I don’t know. We’re mutuals, but I don’t have any way to talk to them outside of tumblr. I followed their other blog but I don’t even remember the username I just recognized the icon so I can’t look that up either
They’re back!! @polyamorouspunk

Hey! I'm making a resource page for different identities and queer community creators, and I want to put you on the list. It would recommend you as somebody people could go to for advice, questions, or positivity. Would that be alright?
Hi! I’m honored🏅 you thought to include me! I guess whether I’m okay with it depends on how you portray it. I think this is amazing to be put together and included on, but I need askers to understand I am not on call 24/7. I don’t answer every ask I recieve, and sometimes I’ll answer 11 days after the fact. I would hate to see a whole drove of people coming depending on a speedy answer that I can’t provide.
Having said that, I do love asks and am committed to keeping things positive 💜
