Chiara Giovanni, 24, is in a relationship with two people. Her partner Aditya Sharad, 23, is monogamous
I'd note that even you think you're being monogamous, if your partner is not, then you're fooling around with more than one person, by proxy. And with whoever they're fooling around with.
They’re Having A Cultural Moment
“I’ve had people saying to me, ‘You just want to fuck about!’” says 29-year-old Calum James, who identifies as a heteroflexible pansexual solo polyamorous relationship anarchist. Tim Newman is reading the Guardian.
It's baffling how those opposed to capitalism imagine that their particular and peculiar personal style will blossom under socialism/communism. They must have their brains turn off automatically whenever any evidence of the stultifying and oppressive forced social conformity of communism is presented. The fact that gays were gleefully shot by Che Guevara must not have been allowed entry to his/xer's/her's perception.
It’s So You
In The Baffler, Jessa Crispin writes: His desire for stockings and earrings and a flattering skirt did not change his critical stance against capitalism, but it did complicate his view of what socialism or communism could be. “Will there be lipstick under communism?” Yes, [sociology lecturer, C...
I'm pretty sure that cow has been eating my royalty cheques.

It was inevitable. || A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, 1785. || A compendium of Victorian magazines. (h/t, drb) || Oh Canada, what have you done? (h/t, Jon) || It just isn’t tricky enough unless it’s also on fire. || Experimental flight videos, over 400 of them. || The future is now....
Historical medical practices. Hours of fun reading to look forward to!

Take care when quoting supposed news sites. The whole "Marge Swanson, a fat acceptance activist ..." news is fake. Just because something fits with your world view does not mean it should just be taken as gospel.
Imagine The Picnics
Nature doesn’t have to be a rich, white playground. However, structures humans put in place – capitalism, colonialism, racism, sexism, and ableism – allow some people to access the outdoors and force others home. Everyday Feminism’s Emily Zak wants us to know that the allure of fresh air and cou...
I can change a washer and replace a faucet. But, when it comes to sticking my snake into a shit encrusted hole. I'd rather pay someone else to do it. Conversation with said someone else is entirely optional.
An Alien Presence
Ned Resnikoff, senior editor of the leftwing publication ThinkProgress, encounters a tradesman: I had a plumber over to my apartment to fix a clogged drain. He was a perfectly nice guy and a consummate professional. But he was also a middle-aged white man with a southern accent who seemed unpert...
Thank you for another year of entertainment and education. I've thrown some money at your tip jar. Please purchase the cheapest gin with it. That's always worked for me.
The Year Reheated
In which we glimpse the world through the eyes of our self-imagined betters. The year began with news that living in Glasgow is now to be considered a work of art, according to Ellie Harrison, a taxpayer-funded artist who, coincidentally, lives in Glasgow. We also witnessed the talents of Sandri...
Sexism or shock horror girls just not that interested in sport?

Friday Ephemeraren’t
I’m heading out of town for the weekend, a long one, for a wedding, so I’m afraid you’ll have to throw together your own pile of links in the comments. Oh, come on. How hard can it be? I’ll set the ball rolling with these: a good deed of note, why you can never tune a piano, and a close encounte...
I see your obscure art peformance, and raise it:

It's art because he's not that good looking? Umm.
Spider-Man’s Unwell Cousin
Because I know you love it, here’s more “guerrilla art” on a bridge. Or more specifically, an “infiltration in public space.” This time the venue is Pier 66 at the 2011 Fountain New York Art Fair, where Canadian performance artist Martine Viale thrills and captivates passers-by, armed only with ...
I can just imagine all those arts council artists dreaming of the effect on reactionary forces of their challenging art. It'd be just like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnZnnkJxoC8
No Refunds, No Credit Note
Those of you with artistic leanings may want to catch up with this ongoing thread at Artblog, in which I trade views with a couple of artists, chiefly on the subject of public funding. It’s informative and fun, if you like that kind of thing. I learned, for instance, that, Art is for the people...
Fracking has become a innocent victim of the war against capitalism, industry, big business and big oil. It no longer matters about the science or facts around the industry, just who can be accused of supporting it. Much like GMO opposition.

Daniel Hannan considers fracking and its opponents: When I spoke in the European Parliament in support of fracking, most of the negative comments I received did not focus on specific safety concerns. Rather, they complained in general terms that fracking would ‘poison the planet’ or ‘bleed Mot...
chick chick boom! The science is clear and undeniable.

“Kyukyoku!! Hentai Kamen!” Oh yes, it’s real. (h/t, Simen) // Hong Kong inflatables. // Kittens and fish. // Finger tripods for eating messy food. // Paper birds. // Animated atoms. // These nanoparticles are assembling themselves in real time. // Science and bogies, together at last. // The bes...
Obama is not all to blame. Congress passes laws. Obama just has a veto. States, Councils and Cities create more petty interference than the federal law makers can do with the current grid locked congress.

Thomas Sowell on some popular misconceptions: The media misconception today is that what we need to speed up economic recovery is to end gridlock in Washington and have bipartisan intervention in the economy. However plausible that may sound, it is contradicted repeatedly by history. Unemployme...
This article about Graffing was one of the few on the Guardian where the author was given a right old bollocking in their comments section. It seems that the left do have some respect for property after all.

John Ellis and Charles Geshekter on academia’s growing political lockstep: The slant is even now rapidly increasing. At Berkeley the 2004-5 imbalance in political affiliation for the most senior faculty (full professors) was 8.3-1, but for the next rank (associate professors) it was an overwhelm...
