Wow, the changer's playing "Evidence" a lot lately. I guess whatever bit of my brain that twigs to that bit is in a persistent holding pattern until Stuff Resolves. I wonder if it would go away if I downloaded the video.
So for complicated reasons related to this twit that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rivka was afflicted by, I went and looked at the Loving More websi. . . aaaah, don't look, oneironaut, they say "lovestyle", they're not just like people who say "lovestyle".
I'm not feeling up to dealing with the weirdness of the attitude towards jealousy, the irritation at the whole thing being tied up in "the context of a larger shift toward a more balanced, peaceful and sustainable way of life", or the gratuitous usage of "Oh shit, here comes an S!" apostrophes. Well, one apostrophe, I don't remember if I saw another one, but I'm an unforgiving little bastard.
No, I just want to take this sentence (from their FAQ) and stare at it a little.
The commitment is not to each other, it's to Love.
This is the stunning new approach to relationships that they're hoping will sweep the nation in a cloud of wuv, joy, and little fluffy bunnies? With Strategically Placed Capital Letters, no less.
Looks like airy-fairy crap to me. (And it's surrounded in the FAQ with we-language to boot.)
Sheeyit. I can't make polyamory work without commitments to and from my partners. I guess that means I'm not cut out for "the lifestyle".
I'll have to make do with my life.
Shucky-darn.

I'd have fewer issues with activists if it weren't for the fact that it's seemed to me that a majority of self-identified activists have been doing things that are actively harmful to the awareness and acceptability of my preferred approach to life.
