The Left Has Extremists Too. And Denial is What is Destroying Our Movements. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The left tends to deny the existence of its extremists.When people on the left engage in destructive, abusive, and deeply antisocial behaviour the left is often so quick to explain it away. They are really right-wing trolls. They are CIA psy-ops. They are Russian bots. They are liberals pretending to be leftists. They are not really part of our movement.Sometimes outside actors really do interfere in leftist movements. But that explanation has become a convenient way of avoiding a much harder re
The Vessel: Taking a Compassionate Pause in Polyamory (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes polyamorists take a break from dating new people to help support their existing relationships. It’s called a vessel.

He was the youngest professor in Cambridge’s nearly 1,000-year history. The relentless campaign that followed this achievement, backed by white supremacist academics, funded in part by <a hre
Ways Indigenous People Relate Differently from Western Norms (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many Indigenous societies offer radically different, and often healthier, more fluid models of relationships than the Western ideal of the monogamous nuclear family. In the West, monogamous marriage has historically functioned less as a romantic institution and more as a mechanism of patriarchal control over women’s bodies to secure male lines of inheritance.
