polyamory community on facebook / some questions and answers

[belenen]

Recently I've become active in a community on facebook (which I never thought would happen!) which is about polyamory and has rules regarding accessibility and anti-oppression that make my heart sing. It's such a huge community (20,000+) that I can't even imagine the effort of being a mod there. One of the rules I wouldn't have thought of or

That's so great that you're really in touch with yourself. You know exactly what you want and expect from people. Good for you :)

this reminds of an urban legend that I love

I want to add also that most of my partners have not been financially independent, and that is not a requirement for me. I would find it creepy for someone to make that a requirement, as to me it says "obedience to capitalism is necessary for me to date you." My ideal life would be to have all my financial needs met by someone else and for me to give whatever I could whenever I could. If that seems 'irresponsible' to someone else, we have fundamentally different concepts of the point of life.

I don't know where this is from or anything but I love it so much:

a teacher asked a class (I've always assumed 1st grade or so) to do an assignment That's pretty standard:

What do you want to be when you grow up.

One little child answered "happy."

The teacher said, "you don't understand the assignment."

The child responded, "you don't understand life."
