poVoq6 Ways to Talk About a Relationship Without Labeling It
Raven (she/her/it) 
having multiple "partners" (which are literally just friends that show up and support each other and maybe or maybe not have sex, but at least cuddle and be cozy in the bed) is one of the coolest things bc u get to have so many different minds and hearts in your life and it brings so much joy,,,, like, i feel ecstatic every week bc i get to see cute and hot women who have each their own cool things going on in life and i get to cuddle and have headpats and sit on the couch and watch movies or go on adventures!

Anarchiste Boekenplek OpstandOn April 21st, we are hosting a Relationship Anarchy meetup. We welcome everyone who is interested in these principles of living and connecting with others. You donโt need to have any prior knowledge, curiosity and kindness are enough.
In this session, we are discussing a particular dynamic: veto power. We will introduce what a "veto" is, in the context of ethical non-monogamy, and we invite you to a discussion around it. Do we want to use it? Or do we want to avoid it, and why? We welcome stories of lived experience with making decisions in situations where people are more at odds than in agreement. We want to explore how relationship anarchy can guide us through this process.
If you practice Relationship Anarchy and want to discuss the practical side, if youโre looking for advice or just a chat about common experiences, we hope this meetup feels cozy and helpful.

nocouples"The freedom to love anyone, and express it in any way that makes sense to us, is another gap from which something essential has been torn away. This freedom is rooted in the neo-liberal freedom to chose between a high number of options - of products, of relationships - where we nonetheless can not refuse to chose. When we can see that we don't option to say "no" to the freedom of choice, the illusion dispels. We are not truly free."

I wrote about it, why it's a problem, and what I think we can do about it (hint: it's not just polyamory).

Romantic Love and Relationship Anarchism
Angry sweet antiracist enbyWhen listening to the Modern Anarchy podcast about #RelationshipAnarchy (wholy dedicated to that!) by Dr. Nicole (https://www.modernanarchypodcast.com/podcast)
there is an episode with Evita LaVitaloca who rightfully says that #RA can live perfectly with hierarchical #polyamory with nesting partners., primary partners etc. It is about refusing recognition to he state in these (and other affairs).
Nevertheless I cannot imagine the anarchy also trickles through to the love relationships. It all depends a bit on how you define "primary" then. And would a situation with a nested partner by definition be hierarchical? I think many gays prove the contrary.

RealZero"Love is abundant, and every relationship is unique.
Relationship anarchy questions the idea that love is a limited resource that can only be real if restricted to a couple. You have capacity to love more than one person, and one relationship and the love felt for that person does not diminish love felt for another. Donโt rank and compare people and relationships โ cherish the individual and your connection to them. One person in your life does not need to be named primary for the relationship to be real. Each relationship is independent, and a relationship between autonomous individuals."
- Andie Nordgren, originally in Swedish
