currently writing a vastly overdue paper, critiquing my professor's book about love. hope he appreciates it :bite:

I'm coming around to the idea that third party consent isn't necessary re: what people do with their own bodies. I know that's kind of a basic tenet in relationship anarchy, but it feels like a big step. Can anyone recommend useful reading, podcasts, or videos on that topic?

#relationshipanarchy #ra

I have a friend who is pretty much a #Republican by default (i.e., he claims to be apolitical but only consistently avoids political topics when the Republican position is the status quo; he will comment on other issues). He might be trying out a new "open mindedness" thing, though, and he once even claimed to be "more or less an #Anarchist" at heart.

I'm making a list of #questions to ask him about #anarchy. They were significantly more provocative until my partner (who is very good at this kind of thing) offered some rewordings:

Anarchy questions

• How do you feel about the unrestricted movement of people? (i.e., #OpenBorders)

• What are your thoughts on loving relationships (romantic/sexual) with multiple partners (i.e., more than 2), where everyone consents, up to and including marriage? (i.e., #polyamory, #RelationshipAnarchy, etc.)

• How would you feel about your children having an equal voice in their education, along with all other individuals that are a part of their school around decisions like hours of operation, topics taught, hiring, etc.? (i.e., #AlternativeSchools, #AlternativeEducation)

• What are your thoughts about individual police accountability when officers break laws?

• What is your cost/benefit analysis of the existence of #police?

• What is your cost/benefit analysis of the existence and/or current implementation of #prisons?

• What are your thoughts on people inhabiting abandoned houses they don't own? (i.e., #squatting)

• What do you think about #RightToRoam (i.e., even private land should allow people to freely pass through, temporarily camp, etc.)?

Notes:

• I'm purposefully staying away from questions about capitalism, socialism, or other economic systems; I think his brain would just shut down.
• Same with LGBTQIA+ issues; he's LDS (and devout), so that will run directly into current doctrine/practice/programming and end the discussion.
• I'm just sharing this to share; I don't need feedback or suggestions but am open to them.
• I do not believe I can call myself an anarchist. I resonate strongly with many anarchist principles but I don't walk the walk and there are some issues I'm not totally comfortable with.

this valentine's day, treat yourself to a short reading and think about how monogamy coerces us and controls us.

🧠✨ Applying #RelationshipAnarchy to the psyche:

🌗 Dethrone the tyrant 'socio-narrative self' —host a roundtable of the entire internal family system
🤝 Let consent and synergy (not guilt) broker inner treaties
🌿 Prune psychic hierarchies, cut dominance, cultivate wild maybes

Where does your mind assume monarchy?

RA Manifesto (https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/andie-nordgren-the-short-instructional-manifesto-for-relationship-anarchy) meets internal governance 👁️🗨️ #InternalRA #PsycheAnarchy #DecentralizedIdentity #TAZ #BonsaiMind #shadow #courage #consent #psychology

Hakim Bey’s anarchic zones go digital: Mastodon profiles become micro-TAZs when we prune feeds (radical acts against algorithmic fate 🌐✂️) and hybridize identities (poetic cyborgs grafting new selves 🤖🌸). Relationship anarchy’s ethos fits like a fractal: co-designed connection languages > inherited scripts, bonsai-tended trust > rigid hierarchies. Your timeline = a squatted garden in capitalism’s cracks. What blooms when we weaponize whimsy to build now? #TAZ #RelationshipAnarchy #Fediverse

Question for You:
Where does your meaning-making feel most constrained by:

Inherited scripts 📜
Future anxieties ⏳
Present-moment 'supposed to's ❓

Let's build Temporary Autonomous Zones for our becoming.

Oh, by the way!
I got my "relationship anarchy" buttons.
I think I like the right one a bit more as it's closer to the usual anarchy logo and because I like the "dirty" lines more, but both are nice!

Maybe I'll order more once I find more stuff of mine to put them on.

And before I decide maybe another self-description fits what I want/need even closer. 😅

#RelationshipAnarchy #NonMonogamy

my wager was that a philosophical enquiry into liveable anarchy and how that can be put into practice through #relationshipanarchy would be welcome at #38c3 - and oh, i felt it found its place!

https://catileptic.tech/posts/relationship-anarchy/

i am thankful to each person who offered their thoughts. thankful for all the lovely conversations we had around the subject.

the #relationshipgeeks assembly was a cozy and safe home for all these connections and the orga team has been phenomenal.

stay safe, folx!

I will host a workshop on Relationship Anarchy, based on this zine (and on all the excellent talks I've had with folx and things I've read - it's all a lovely jumble!) at #38C3 on Day 2:

https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/hub/en/event/privacy-settings-irl-balancing-privacy-and-disclos/

Right after that, @einalex and myself will facilitate a conversation on "Concepts beyond Hierarchy" at the Relationship Geeks assembly:

#relationshipanarchy

I've published a zine on Relationship Anarchy, subtitled "Dreaming in the Belly of the Whale": https://catileptic.tech/posts/relationship-anarchy/

I'm vibrating from head to toe with excitement that I finally put my thoughts into words, all in one place, and I can offer them to others.

This zine is the result of countless excellent talks with lovely folx. It's also the result of reading Victor Vilisov and Slavoj Žižek, as well as many other texts that expanded my mind and nuanced my thinking.

#relationshipanarchy

While it IS nice to know that more people feel, at least roughly, like I do, and as nice as having a name for it is, I guess this still doesn't make it easier for me to actually explain it to people.

Maybe I should print an explanation 'business card", but, well, I guess that would also be over-the-top, because usually people don't ask me or care about my "relationship situation". 😁😅

Well, time to order some buttons first to show it off to those knowing the term.
