Shibari comes from hojojutsu, a martial rope techniques used to restrain and shame prisoners in imperial Japan. These roots include fascist policing. Post-WWII, artists eroticized them as kinbaku. Its origins, like Western BDSM, lie in carceral and colonial control.

People often underestimate the depth of research that goes into our work. I have hyperlexia, which allows me to absorb and synthesize vast amounts of information quickly. Before I speak on any topic, I read everything I can find.

Surving fascism as a polyamorist

They shot two people after Pride outside the Stonewall Inn. News is still coming in, but this reminds me of when Dylann Roof attacked the AME Church in Charleston, precisely because of its significance in civil‑rights movements. These people know what they’re doing ca.news.yahoo.com/shooting-out...

We could have just been like the bonobos but instead we decided to have a cognitive revolution

Protests today all over Kenya against Police Brutality www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

She backed the Palestinian genocide and before that extended prison slavery. No matter who’s in charge, colonialism means endless hegemony and expansion. Until we dismantle the disease, colonizers will keep colonizing.

How long do you give this truce? It wasn’t actually ever about nukes. Israel is a death cult that wants regime change in Iran and a greater Israel. A continued war with Iran is inevitable because colonizers are always going to seek expansion + don’t tolerate ideological opposition to their hegemony

The West are colonizers and always have been and always will be until the colonialist mindset is uprooted. Gaining independence isn’t enough, because colonialism is a disease that stays long after.

I keep thinking about that moment when Gaddafi warned a room full of Middle Eastern leaders that what happened in Iraq would happen to all of them—and they laughed. Colonialism always moves in fractals. What starts with one becomes a pattern.

When attacks on nuclear sites are announced by the president on social media … dear god

The telegram founder Pavel Durov has 106 children!! What is it with tech bros and their breeding fetishes? www.eonline.com/news/1418952...

🤣

We should be able to buy adderall, testosterone & estrogen OTC at Walmart while buying a gun should require 6-12 months of intensive therapy beforehand and monthly reapproval from your psychiatrist

Missing Chomsky’s analysis right now because I trust no voice in all this

Crazy that Luigi is charged with terrorism but the guy who had a hit list of democrats and shot 4 and killed two isn't

Ideally the Iranian regime and Israel regime destroy each other without mass civilian casualty

Be careful, this is when propaganda is going to be at an all time high. For example both Iran and Israel are downplaying how effective each others attacks have been. And media is parroting the side they’re on

Today an air India plane crashed, Israel attacked Iran and there is an internet black out in Gaza. Well that’s all very troubling signs

Not the polyamory representation we want or need

AI Luddites are the left’s version of MAGA. Both are clinging to a myth, a fantasy of returning to a more "humane" capitalism that never truly existed. The anger over job loss is valid, but it’s pointed in the wrong direction.

One of my litmus tests for critical thinking is where someone stands on AI. If someone is anti-AI for environmental reasons but still scrolls Meta whose energy-guzzling infrastructure has a larger footprint than all of AI, I know I’m not dealing with someone who applies their values consistently.

Not sure when the left decided that using AI was a capital sin but that’s dumb. Did we learn nothing from dystopian films? The resistance doesn’t win by rejecting tech. It wins by mastering it! Abandoning AI just hands the future to the right. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

They idolize figures like Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and Martin Luther King Jr., presenting them as the sole models of resistance while conveniently erasing the histories of BIPOC-led armed struggles. Violent fights for liberation were crucial for securing our freedom

As Elon gets less rich and powerful will Trump turn on him?

They can stand there all day but that won’t protect the dealership from having time slots booked for demonstrations and the appointment not showing up…. You can book online 😀

You're in Canada and want an alternative to the Liberals and Chrystia Freeland - this is our AOC - only better.

The way colonizers and those with colonized minds react to questioning hierarchy—like telling fish there’s life beyond water. Questioning something ingrained in colonial culture is hard. But hierarchy wasn’t always the norm, and life beyond these toxic waters is far clearer, far freer.

Great post!

Isn't it ironic that during the McCarthy era, the U.S. was so focused on rooting out Russian influence through leftist groups, yet it was America's own racism and unbridled love of capitalists that ultimately allowed Russia to gain a foothold. What would McCarthy make of Trump and the right?

I can't stand the terms ENM and CNM. What about a rapey or abusive NM? They're not upholding consent. There should be no adjective before NM because it centers monogamy as the respectable pedestal against which everything else is judged. TBH it shouldn't even be called NM it should be multigamy

‘ENM' on dating profiles has become the new way to say that you're looking for casual relationships or hookups, but without hiding the fact that you're seeing multiple people. However you’re not truly 'ENM' if your plan is to drop it as soon as you find someone you want to settle down with.

Commenting as a future receipt: Trump on Truth Social claimed Trudeau is using the tariff issue to "stay in power." Classic narcissist behavior—foreshadowing by projecting their own intentions onto others. Trump is normalizing the idea of clinging to power when it's clearly time to step down.

Have you ever read anything more poetic?

I actually had Trump pardoning George Floyd’s murderer on my apocalypse bingo card. Of course, the white South African doing Nazi salutes would lead the pardon appeal. Fascism needs white nationalism and a thug police force. www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-we... www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-we...

If Trump is a Russian stooge and if Russia is aligned with Iran, how is that going to effect Trump’s position with Israel?

Abuse in polyamory manifests uniquely, as the threat of a metamour can trigger abusers. Toxic masculinity, abandonment, and wounds from past control can lead to overblown reactions. Remember compulsory monogamy is about ownership, and polyamory challenges that entitlement which can result in abuse.

Tbh Trump causes so much chaos, the Zelensky thing just seems like he’s usual fuckery but indeed narcs also hold grudges

I swear if Elon Musk comes out as polyamorous... Warren Buffet was polyamorous, with a wife and a long-term partner for decades. Last year I blocked Grimes on Instagram after she liked our posts. I didn't want us wrapped up in their shenanigans. Elon coming out as poly would be the worst.

Putin showing the world why Russia has been a major powerhouse in chess. Trump's treatment of Ukraine is making the news but this isn't as it should be www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

So you chose polyamory thinking it meant unlimited love and sex with no restrictions or heavy responsibilities? Boy, do I have bad news for you. Polyamory demands more responsibility, vulnerability, and a higher EQ than monogamy. If you want this to be sustainable, you’ll need to level up.

For settlers, it is easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of colonialism.

Things Abuse Apologists Say: Narcissistic abuse isn’t real. You can’t diagnose someone Exposing an abuser is a violation of them. You shouldn’t have set that boundary. You’re too harsh when people cross your boundaries. It was just a mistake! Have you considered your abuser’s perspective?

If it’s safe, expose your abuser.

I found a trick to smoking out narcissist abusers on my page by merely mentioning narcissistic abuse. The amount of problematic folks who then try to stop the conversation by saying NPD isn’t real etc Which results in a Block purge
