I'm asking this of everyone I see divesting from Meta, because I'm seeking solutions for myself: where and how are you finding diverse community connection spaces that replace the group spaces that Meta has provided?

Why Pigeons Make Bad Nests: A defense of pigeon aesthetics

A six-panel comic. In panel 1, there's a pigeon standing awkwardly next to a pile of sticks with two eggs on it, and the panel is titled "Why pigeons make bad nests: A defense of pigeon aesthetics." In panel 2, a pigeon sits on a pile of sticks: "Many people think that pigeons are bad at making nests. Here are three good reasons why pigeon nests look bad." In panel 3, there's "Reason 1: Some birds, like orioles, nest in tree branches, so they weave elaborate structures that can withstand the elements..." And there's a female Baltimore Oriole weaving an elaborate hanging nest in a silver maple tree. In panel 4, "...but rock pigeons evolved to nest in crevices in cliffs, safely tucked away." And there's a pigeon sitting on a nest in a hole in a cliff. In panel 5, "Reason 2: People domesticated pigeons ages ago. Pigeons didn't need fancy nests because they had human-built homes." A beautiful dovecote shelters a flock of pigeons. In panel 6, "Reason 3: Less time making nest = more time eating seed." A pigeon pecks a seed near its nest, and says "It's called math."

A lot of folks confuse Relationship Anarchy with Relationship Libertarianism - so let's clear this up? RA is about decentering a single romantic partnership in favor of community building. RL is about doing whatever on a whim without any consideration for how it impacts others. #RelationshipAnarchy

Let's talk about Solo Polyamory! How did you first learn it was a thing? Back in 2012 I decided to be in a primary relationship with myself, and described it as being polysingleish. Then someone introduced me to the SoloPoly blog by Aggie Sez... and the rest is history! #SoloPolyamory #Polyamory

Okay. I am assured that the Relationship Anarchy and Solo Polyamory feeds are working for folks, and even though I am not convinced, I'll roll with that and trust that when someone sees how to improve them they'll let me know 🫠 #ImposterSyndrome

Thought for the day: Patriarchal, white supremacist, or colonial ideas about bodies may have influenced your aesthetic attraction to others... however, these things do not need to define eroticism, and your experience of the erotic does not need to be limited by them. #RelationshipAnarchy

I have also attempted to make a feed for Solo Polyamory but I am really taking stabs in the dark with this. Am reminded of the mid 90s when I figured out how to rewire all the satelite dish decoders and our VCR so I could record any tv show- that was *easier* than figuring out Sky Feed :/

Idk who needs to heart this but nonmonogamy/polyamory/relationship anarchy means you have to be WAY BETTER at all things relational. Yes it is more authentic, there is more freedom, etc, but if you don't do it well you just mess up more people, often simultaneously.

In 2025, let's stop pathologising attachment styles. In fact - let's rethink attachment theory altogether. It was so heavily influenced by the Nuclear Family and ended up becoming part of the Nuclear Family propaganda. Resilient attachment experiences through networks of care is where it's at.
