Statement
During a long afternoon of painful relationship negotiation,
Graydancer and minx brainstormed individual answers to the

being poly?" and created their own mission statement for Graydancer
and minx as a poly couple.(Our
Mission Statements)
29:30-30:05 Topic: Mistresse Matisse gives us a

Tacit's article on jealousy
Topic: On coming out
Props to Amy Gahran for opting to come out (in a polite,
subtle way) as poly in her professional blog. What a great model
for coming out in an honest but non-jingoistic way. Her
personal/poly blog is here. Not prurient in the least, so if you're
looking for smut, stay here or go to Open Source Sex.

One podcast suggestion: Pizza Babe is here.
Like the intro/outro music? It's by a band called Pacemaker Jane out of Ohio. Go buy their stuff!
