My extended polycule is vast(as they tend to be), but the core "family unit" of us consists of around 5-7 people. In that group, we're fairly kitchen table, and are planning to move in together this year. (Yippee!!)

Recently we started sharing services here and there. Google play games family accounts, and AI Chat subscriptions.

What other services are out there that you've shared with family and/or polycule members to save on money?

Love this post! You have such a fun playful style of writing and it's a style that I never see on like, reddit for instance. Emojis are really looked down on there and language is expected to be pretty standardized. I love how much fun u have w it :3

Thanks for sharing your story! :) My partner was binary trans for years before they came out as nonbinary, which far more matches their identity.

I myself thought that binary trans was the only option when I was in high school so I pushed that egg deep down down down until my early 30s when it cracked open. When I first was thinking about transitioning, the idea of fully going fem just didn't feel right for me. I feel so grateful to live in a s o c i e t y where it's more welcomed than in the past.

I thought that it was just being adorable and clever.

This is wonderful, though I feel like "I don't feel super comfortable in my body" as a pre-cursor to nonbinary identity is a narrow view. I didn't experience much gender dysphoria before transitioning, but I experience a hell of a lot of gender euphoria when exploring my nb side.

It must have been so much more difficult to engage in relationships like this back then. It truly was revolutionary, to go up against everyone in your life and society to follow your heart.

My wonderful partner Cai Quirk recently released a new book on themes of finding unique personal narratives for queer people.

In a world that doesn't have many stories for gender-nonconforming individuals to help find themselves, I think their work has potential to help many.

Cai's photography and writing delves deep into our collective connection with nature to pull out new stories from the ever-generative wellspring of life that is all around us.

I adore them and am so proud of this accomplishment, and would ask for you to please support them by purchasing a copy of their book if their work speaks to you!

Me, my partner, and their partner, are putting together a band. Me on guitar, my partner on bass, and my meta on drums and keys.

I've had a lot of original music for quite a while and it's such a pleasure to be able to share it with these two people that are so important to me and watch my songs evolve.

Last night I slept over at their place and woke up early unable to get back to sleep because I'm so excited to play more.

Heck ye :)

It's an awesome feeling to come to accept! I know many trans individuals who started off going hard binary trans, and then settling on something more in the genderfluid or nonbinary spectrum. I think it feels more right for some people to go full binary trans in the beginning in situations in which they have a part of themselves that has been heavily repressed by society. After they've "got it out of their system" so to speak, some people realize that they're actually not always one or the other gender.

It's an experience that some relate to and some don't. Congratulations on coming to a deeper understanding of yourself! <3

I gutted an old CRTV, replaced the screen with tinted 1-way glass, filled it with foam and a hard hat to be comfy, and spray-painted tf out of it

but maybe the real treasure was the gender we met along the way

Also a huge fan of The Ethical Slut!

I liked it a lot better than Polysecure, which was more psychology than polyamory. Also not as huge of a fan of Sex at Dawn, which was more like anthropology than actionable poly material, though it's good for what it is.
