Heya #fediverse! I have a friend, #erotic #novelist TammyJo Eckhart, who actually approached - me to ask if I had a suggestion for what instance she should join, so I thought I'd ask the community for the perfect one!

She's looking for one that:

Welcomes #book #Author s and #Reader s

Welcomes #feminism and #queer / #lgbt discussions

Welcomes #AdultContent (discussion of #sexuality , some explicit materials, #kink, and #polyamory )

Welcomes social commentary (I think she means #leftist #politics )

She's never used Mastodon before, and is not particularly tech savvy (so no infosec-opensource-foss-whatever focused servers, please), but like most of us who ended up here, she's tired of the fascist censorship and coddling of mainstream social media platforms, and wants to find a place she can connect with others without having to constantly look over her shoulder for nazis and/or algorithmic censorship.

She also didn't mention character count, but as a writer (and person who enjoys engaging in nuanced conversation instead of screaming click bait headlines), something more than the default 500 characters would be nice as well.

Any servers she should check out? And potential follows she might be interested in connecting with?

If you'd like to get to know TammyJo a little more, here's an interview I recorded with her for my feminist topless equality video series Topless Topics: https://www.toplesstopics.org/tammyjo/

Boosts appreciated so I can find her the perfect fit!

Every bi cis woman who is married or a long-term relationship with a cis man that I've tried giving the benefit of a doubt and dated or chatted with on a dating app has suddenly had to stop seeing or talking to me when the man they're with gets insecure and expresses "a boundary" that she can't do anything physical with another person or meet up with them. Like...bi ladies, leave your insecure, sexist man and go kiss girls already. A man controlling your body is a man controlling your body and should be kicked in the balls and left to be lonely and butt hurt by himself. ARGH.

To be clear, it is absolutely understandable that when people start venturing into non-monogamy, they may need to take things step by step, or even stop for a time. But a boundary is not "you can't do X," a boundary is "if you do X, I'll do Y." That's not a boundary and not a way to do non-monogamy or polyamory!!!

"Don't you ever feel lonely and jealous when your partner's out on a date and you're not?"

Haha, oh, my sweet summer child.

You underestimate what a treat it is to spend a night by myself, eating pizza bagels & watching Studio Ghibli, with absolutely no need to entertain anyone else.

Don't get me wrong -- I love my partners! But I love them a heck of a lot more when I get to be away from them sometimes.

Society expects us to live in each others' pockets, and to spend very little time alone. But for an introvert like me? Time all by myself, unobserved and unaccompanied, is an absolute necessity.

I love knowing that my more-extroverted partner is out getting their social needs met, while I'm having my delightful goblin-time.

He took the drugs and the drugs are working.

Happy 36th birthday to this bung on the left.

For Love of a Konbini Idol: I Face Her Onryo Lover
For Love of a Konbini Idol: I Braved the Otherside
For Love of a Konbini Idol: I Searched for the Kudan

No good deed goes unpunished. As Umi discovers when she rescues Shiomi. Neither Shiomi nor the jealous, vengeful ghost that stalks her appreciates the act. Something they both make clear. As for Ume’s partner, Tomo, he is less than thrilled at the intrusion of an unpleasant third into their relationship. “I know I told you to find someone who would appreciate your advances, but I really question your taste.”

“Be his peace” oh no, fuck that.

Honey, fuckers like me are why stress induced cardiomyopathy exists. But gods, will he have a good time….

Doom Guy created this glorious edit of a gender meme.

If this isn’t us coming out as plural, unclockable multigender fucks, I don’t know what is.

Image description: text on the upper left panel reads “I wish I was’t”, followed by an image of a skull with an abnormally small sized brain inside of it on the right side.

The next text panel down on the left reads “I can just”, followed by an image of a human head with a brain with neurons firing on the right side.

The second to last text panel panel down on the left reads “I always was [redacted]”, followed by an image of a human head with a glowing brain inside of it.

The final text panel on the bottom left of the image reads “destroy capitalism”, followed by an image of a human head with a brain inside of it emitting rays of light on the bottom right. (end description)

I was weed-free and hungry for the first time in the better part of two weeks today.

So Emerson got me a surprise – a birria burrito with a horchata. It was delicious. He’s so sweet to me. Unfortunately, our polycule’s lemon of a car is back in the fucking shop because it is misbehaving again, so there are no in person adventures to be had for the time being. However, my hunger means that I’m likely finally getting over this bullshit for good, whatever it is. I’m glad to have my fucking appetite back.

I ate part of another eldritch cookie

Knocked me out cold for the better part of 12 hours straight, and I binge watched more Gossip Girl before passing out. What a fluffy shitshow. It was my night alone, and all in all, it wasn’t a bad way to spend it.

I’m off to get lunch with Zelda and Emerson in a few. If I have spoons later, there’ll be more posts!

What media have you read/seen/heard that acknowledges polyamory exists, especially portrayed in a positive way? Fiction and music particularly?

"Oh no, my long time romantic partner has feelings for another person, it's all over" is such a pervasive trope, you'd think it as much a law of nature as "objects fall toward Earth when dropped"

In this life, we must learn counterspells and find escape hatches if we are to survive.

So... I'm poly now? I'm so excited to explore this part of myself and watch my partner do the same!

Anyway, all that to say, if you're queer and wanted to flirt with me, my feelings wouldn't be hurt

It's okay to be excited about exploring #polyamory. Those first steps can be intoxicating. But it's important to remember that it's common for one partner to want to move faster than the other. When you place too much on someone too fast, that's called "polybombing".
