eCigarettes? Does the Smoke Come out Your Mouse?!?
CNN had an interesting article on their site recently: E-Cigarettes that purport to solve the health and social issues of conventional cigarette smoking. I am intrigued for personal reasons. I’m quite allergic to tobacco smoke, so much so that I’m simply unable to be around smokers, even when they’re not smoking. The smoke permeates their [...]
Pope Condom Attack–There’s a Greener Way!
P.S. The links keep coming in. Thanks, facebook & gaia.com friends! I’ll sort through them and try to contact the orgs, to see 1) if they want condoms mass mailed to them, and 2) if there’s support that’s more relevant to them. I’ll post the results ASAP!
People, people people. Dude thinks he has The One [...]
Spring Cleaning: Sweeping Technology and My Blahs Out the Door
I was recently posting on a facebook polyamory discussion board and the spellcheck underlined the word polyamory. I was miffed; I hate being culturally invisible. So I typed a note of that, and it underlined the word spellcheck…

Kassia & Sky’s Euro-Commune Adventure
I recently had the pleasure of attending a very beautiful, entertaining and informative slideshow at Chrysalis Community in Arlington, Virginia. Two former members of Twin Oaks Community, Kassia and Sky, had just returned from an extensive tour of European Intentional Communities.
Now, I realize that many people would rather endure twenty-four hours of non-stop electrolysis while [...]

Repost: Shut Up and Talk to Me!
This post from last summer is worth recycling. Enjoy!—WT

Intentional Community is a [...]
Gender and Consumerism: Healthy Debate vs. Meaningful Conversation
I recently walked away from a conversation that I felt was going in circles. “What’s the matter,” the other person said, “Are you afraid of a little healthy debate?” I thought back to my youth, when I loved sparring with my high school friends and the other members of the Louisville Freethought Society. I remembered [...]

I had a fantastic, intense time at Loving More’s Poly Living 2009 conference in Philadelphia this past weekend. My partner Iuval and I each felt we learned so much about ourselves in the many workshops and in the networking and connections we made with other participants. I’ll be highlighting and profiling some in posts to [...]
Poly Living 2009, Philadelphia
We’re heading out this weekend for Loving More’s Poly Living conference in Philadelphia. I had a great time attending the World Polyamory Conference at Harbin Hot Springs in California last September, so I’m looking forward to checking out this east coast event!
For those unfamiliar, polyamory (“many loves”) is having or being open to multiple deep, [...]
