Your Daily Polyamory Blog for Navigating Life, Relationships, and More
Even before the pandemic drove so many inside, I can tell you that an awful lot of people are pretty much always online.
And it’s not just people who want to be online. These days I do most of my work online (as someone who writes for a living), which means spending a lot of time online, » Read more
“I wonder sometimes if seeing behind the curtain makes you respect me or my writing less,” I say to a friend. “You get to see what it actually looks like in practice. You get to see how I apply — or don’t — what I put out there into the wider world. How it sometimes matches exactly and other times might have to look a little different. » Read more
“When you get a chance, could you add another bottle of this to your next order?” you ask me.
It’s a bottle of white vinegar. You have the humidifier apart. It’s hanging out in the kitchen sink.

Hello Page,
I’ve been really enjoying your series of posts on underrepresented identities (asexual, aromantic, demisexual, semi-demi, etc.). It’s been really interesting and eye opening for me.

Hi Page,
I love your blog. You have a really fascinating way of framing topics that never would have occurred to me to even think about. I’m not polyamorous myself. I would say I’m more curious at the moment.

I have always cared a lot about other people. I wasn’t a person who was afraid to pay compliments to other people or tell my friends (and later crushes) how I felt about them. Instead, I was brave. I put myself out there. Openly admired others.
For a long time, this wasn’t reciprocated — » Read more
