shit i like

The tide has already turned. The fact that #free palestine will have new posts everyday, that helps me. It helps my mental health knowing that Palestinians are less alone now than ever.

Yesterday I read some verses from the Quran talking about how "the blame" is not with those who wish to help but cannot, but with those who CAN help and do not.

Truly I do not care if all you do for Palestine is post in that #free palestine everyday, that is still more than many people with the means to do even more would do.

It's terrifying and demoralizing that nothing thus far has stopped or more than briefly paused the genocide.

But that's not a reason to stop trying.

If you can protest in person, do that.

If you can donate, do that.

If you can write your officials, do that.

If you can click once a day, do it here: https://arab.org/click-to-help/palestine/

Vagina-having people have a shorter urethra, which means we’re more prone to UTIs because the bacteria doesn’t have to travel as far to get up into your bladder and cause a problem.

Which means if you’re exposing your bits to bacteria (as with sex), peeing will flush out bacteria in the urethra. (Urine isn’t actually sterile - that’s a myth - but you’re *supposed to* have a little bit of bacteria - that’s how bodies work. But it still flushes things out that shouldn’t be there.)

If you’re one of the people saying “You meant ‘women’”, fuck you. I meant “people who have a vagina, regardless of their gender or lack thereof”, and you can go fuck yourself with a cactus.

Please no one get mad at me and I'm not trying to sound bigoted or anything.

Im just like trying to wrap my head around people who are poly. Like how does one have a romantic relationship with more than one person and how does it happen. Like are there limits? Can you date 10 other people if you really wanted

And in that same sphere, can you cheat if you're poly? like if you're in a relationship with two other people and you talk to someone else is that cheating. Is it the same thing as an open relationship

Poly relationships are different from one another based on the people involved. One polycule is not going to look the same as another because people are complex and diverse. This is why communication is key! Everyone involved needs to be clear on what they're okay with and what they're boundaries are. So yes there are limits but what those limits are depends on the people in the relationship.

Now, with how you come to date multiple people also depends. Someone can date 10 people if they're able to manage that, but I think for most people that would be a lot to handle! 😅 For me, I'm very shy and I need to have a deep emotional connection with someone before I have romantic and/or sexual feelings for them. Hence why I only have one partner (who is also poly) at the moment, and we're okay with that. I'm not actively searching for someone just to have another person, and neither is he. It's more of just wanting our relationship to be open in case we ever do meet someone we both like and feel close to and trust. If our feelings about our current dynamic start to change, we'll talk about it.

Now when it comes to cheating. Cheating is never okay even in a poly relationship. Cheating is disingenuous and dishonest, and it is the opposite of what poly relationships depend on to work which is communication. Now what cheating looks like in poly relationships is contextual. For my relationship, using your example, it would be seen as cheating. If one of us wants to pursue another person, it needs to be communicated before doing so. That's an established and agreed upon rule in our relationship. In other relationships, it may not be seen as cheating depending on the rules that have been communicated and agreed upon. Can rules change? Yes! But it requires the consent of everyone who is involved.

In my opinion, poly relationships are no different from mono relationships except for dating multiple people instead of one. In a mono relationship, you need honesty, communication, understanding, and patience for it to work and the same applies to poly relationships.
