Currently reading Less is More by Jason Hickel, but Mr. Watterson said it best:

@kaia I think about this daily

I really think one of the hardest things about being polyamorous is the complete dearth of representation for what a healthy poly relationship looks like.

Monogamous people grow up surrounded by media rep of both healthy and toxic relationships and know what both look like. Poly people on the other hand often stumble through some pretty toxic shit because the only representation of us in media is some crummy documentary where everyone looks unhappy and the presenter clearly hates you.

It's just so strange to me how many people are not receptive to being told

"Hey maybe we shouldn't have all of our computers based on proprietary operating systems and APIs controlled by a single corporation"

"Hey maybe we shouldn't have web traffic directed and organized through search by a single corporation"

"Hey maybe the way that we talk to each other online shouldn't be owned and controlled through algorithms and advertising managed by a single corporation"

I think about this XKCD almost daily

Feel like Mastodon is becoming like the modern day version of this
