Relationship Anarchy. Tinkering In the Belly of the Whale (zine)

This is catileptic. I move slow and fix things. I'm a tech activist, hacker, and a community-building person.

@catileptic Love your metaphors of fuck-up. I definitely think as we become more globalized via networks but federated purely by distance, our traditional systems of relationships and family life are going to become increasingly outdated. The "Atomic Family" only benefits those who wish to control others either socially or in the home while in most cases people tend to grow together and apart naturally or through necessity.
@catileptic I really enjoyed the use of tech concepts to discuss relational anarchy, though I wonder if it will come across to people who aren't developers. That said, "Minimum Viable RA" was very interesting, especially "Distance and Friction". I've not heard this aspect of RA but it makes sense.
