This one seems really... empty. Like she's trying to convince herself of something that she knows isn't true.

Sister services, email, and search will continue to be negatively effected by the attacks. I made a thread to talk about it, if you're into networking.

Ding ding ding, you won the prize!
"A beautiful thing about polyamory is not taking love so personally."
What?
I just...what?
Love is personal. Love is the decision to continue to care for someone, and to do so without regard to what you get out of it. It ennobles the soul. It empowers us to great deeds and great sacrifice. It lifts up everyone it touches. It can never not be personal, because to truly love someone, you must see them as a person.
I don't have a word to describe this damaged woman who thinks love is some sort of exchange of value, usually involving sex. Oh, wait, I do: prostitute.
"Opening up my heart to that kind of infinite abundance feels so much better to me than feeling special to anyone."
That's bullshit and you know it. Feeling special is what this is all about, otherwise you wouldn't feel the need to brag to every person on earth about your army of cucks. You'd keep your private life private like everyone else.
Sorry to necro, but I just remembered this lady existed and looked her up here. As soon as I saw it mentioned on the first page that she lived on a commune I knew it had to be Twin Oaks, that place is full of poly hippies just like her and there is a notorious polycule there that calls itself the Wolf family. It doesn't surprise me at all that she'd learn to spin her cheating tendencies into an enlightened philosophy while there and I wonder if she chose her name because of them.
I think it's very telling that in spite of being surrounded by so many poly people she kept finding herself with men who wanted monogamy. She protests way too much about her lack of jealousy, I can see how being with a monogamous guy would be super appealing as long as she could convince him to let her be poly, that way she could have her fun and not have to worry about getting jealous of them being with someone else.
I wish to hear more about this commune.

It's one of the oldest in the U.S., it was founded by a lady named Kit Kinkade in 1967 loosely inspired by a utopian novel by behavioral psycologist B.F. Skinner.
It's based around environmental sustainability and resource sharing. Their main income comes from selling hammocks that they make, although they don't use currency within the community. It's full of like, real deal anarchist hippie types who have been arrested a million times for protesting nukes and spent decades hopping trains and travelling all over the world, I've met some real interesting weirdos who lived there.
Also lots of crunchy types who make menstrual blood art and refer to their vaginas as "yonis", just your run of the mill deep hippie shit.
The whole resource sharing thing tends to extend to family stuff, with a lot of non-monogamous people and kids being raised atleast somewhat communally.
One interesting thing I find about it is that everyone gets their own room, even married couples, because they believe that even in a tight community people should have their own space. It's about as nice as you can get for a hippie commune full of weirdos. There's like a 7 year waiting list to even be considered for a trial period to come live there. It's unusual for communes to last that long so they must be doing something right.
That said I've heard there's plenty of intercommunity drama. I knew someone who lived there who mostly liked it but felt like that big polycule had a habit of ruling the roost and throwing their weight around too much and that they weren't super warm towards newcomers, with older members having an attitude of "we put all the work in to build this place and now you're here enjoying it without putting in the same amount of work". That attitude is par for the course with like every intentional community though.
The very definition of irony.
Apparently the waiting list isn't a thing anymore and they're accepting people to come and do the trial membership deal right now. So if you like raising chickens and don't mind sharing a communal toilet with 100 polyamorous hippies, there you go.
What's this about the toilet?
Okay, I'm exaggerating. From the sounds of it, people are divided into cabins and you get your own private room (and you can bring a laptop and everything,) but every cabin has a communal bathroom that everyone shares and everyone takes turns cleaning. Which sounds like a nightmare, considering these people consume a lot of tofu and beans.
You also can't really put money away, which makes it hard to leave. Other than that it actually sounds really nice.

Well there are a few studies that show on small scales these types of communities tend to do extremely well and the fact they make some income from selling hammocks helps sustain them. Since they have around 100 people, they're at the height of how large this type of commune can sustain before collapsing. If anyone goes to live there/visit though, be prepared for a lot of manual labor in gardens and tofu processing.

The absolute maximum is probably around 200 people as that’s the maximum number of people an average person is able to keep track off. I agree that in small scale this sort of thing can work, it would not be that different from when our ancestors lived in hunter gatherer tripes.

I recently remembered that Kimchi existed when a friend discovered polycule nonsense for the first time and was laughing at her spiderweb relationship chart, so I thought I would necro the thread with a summary update on how she's coping during the pandemic. The last comic posted here was number 830 just over a year ago, so there's a lot to catch up on!
Polyamory continues to screw her over as she is too busy juggling dates with her many long-distance partners to spend time finding someone closer to home, leaving her alone and blueballed most of the time.
Vash the jerk strikes again! Apparently they barely tolerate each other now but Kimchi won't let him go, still trying to hold the relationship together without sex. Vash hasn't appeared in the comic since then.
Somebody close to her died and she posted strips about acknowledging and dealing with grief which read exactly like her strips about dealing with relationship jealousy. Guessing none of her polycule were particularly comforting? She also made these autistic "ways you could support me" flashcards to fill in and hand out to your friends.
Hugboxes: The Comic! And narcissists manipulating poly partners into competing for their attention being treated as normal relationship drama that you just need to find "creative solutions" for.
When COVID hit in March her output slowed down. It appears she followed the guidelines and completely socially isolated from all of her long-distance partners, leaving poor Vajra the cuck stuck at home with her while she pined for fuckboy Rajeev and wished she was living with him instead. She posted a comic about how people pestering her to go hang out with them during a pandemic aren't true friends and she is paying attention. Wooo-ooooo!
Boring virtue signalling comics for the BLM protests. I'm only gonna post this one because of trashfire Trump.
And now, the most juicy development. After a seemingly passive agressive comic mentioning co-parents who refuse to socially distance, Kimchi reveals that the inevitable has happened. Vajra has finally grown a pair, abandoned her to raise their kid alone and moved in with his girlfriend!
But she's totally dealing with it just fine (even though she hasn't so much as held hands with anyone since January) and says it was never a good idea to live with a platonic co-parent anyway. Run Vajra, please run far away

Some people I know was pushing this comic at me, as well as Leftover Soup, back in the day when they were trying to drag me into their polyamory bullshit. All I had to do to know I was not interested at all was to watch the crazy stressful lives they had, but the preachiness of the comics really pushed me into a hate of the poly lifestyle. Just cheat on your mate like normal people dammit.
All this time alone and her art still hasn't improved
I wonder if Vajra will come back like the last comic implies or is just saying that to placate her?
The guy with blue hair in the last comic isn't Vajra, it's Rajeev. Easy to mix them up as Vajra has barely appeared in the comic since he was demoted from husband to platonic child-raising partner. They don't have any physical intimacy or even sleep in the same bed any more; there was a strip I didn't post about her listening to Rajeev's snoring through a phone on the other pillow.
I always figured it would be some kind of antibiotic resistant STD that would fuck over the polys, not the coof.
Please post it.
Speaking of Rajeev, wasn't it confirmed that the character was a stand-in for some white guy? What are the odds the real-life Vajra is white too?
Here it is, the caption on her site says that it's Rajeev snoring. There have been two new comics since my update as well, they're not very interesting but I'll post them anyway. I have no clue why the health nut woman in the first one is wearing a shirt with the Hindu Aum symbol, seems like a very specific and odd detail to add. Maybe to show that she's a new-age hippy type, but wouldn't a peace sign or a pot leaf or something have worked better for that?
