You Get What You Negotiate, Not What You Deserve (by Brandon Fails)

"You don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate"

Way too long I watch, hear, and talk with people that believe that on "Italian Jesus soul", we will eventually be acknowledged for the wrongs we've endured, we'll get retribution... that our time will come as long as we be patient and comply.  Like the person in the restaurant that was second in line but four people's number gets called before him.

One thing that we don't do as a community is unite..completely. We have to come together and stand on the fact that NO political party gets our support, unless they do for us.

For me, I don't do drugs... but if i did, I wouldn't go to a drug dealer for rehab.  I don't believe in going to the orchestrator of oppression to save me and mine from oppression.  I wouldn't send a woman to an abortion clinic to give birth....just doesn't make sense.  How old is this America?  How many presidents have we had that focused on and aggressively attacked (not just black..but) the structures that cause homelessness, the industries that feed you poisoned foods and waters, the industries that medicates you with cancerous and addictive drugs. What president, what year?

If we go back to so-called African-Americans, what generation have we've had here that was great,equal, and peaceful? Not speaking on our ability to make great lives under oppression, just out and open without it.  Name the era...

Whether we do it on our own or as part of a united middle - low class... we end economic,social, health, and even agricultural warfare by working together, block by block, community by community... and shutting out all that only look to profit off of us than build with us.

Share The Love: Love Me As I Am (by Lea Mishell)

SHARE THE LOVE
"Love Me As I Am"
by Lea Mishell




Long ago, I proclaimed myself to be a Professional Procrastinator so anyone that knows me wasn't surprised that I came out as bisexual just a few years ago.  I didn't mean to wait that long but, to be honest, I was afraid that I would lose my family and friends if they knew the truth about me. Thankfully most of them KNEW I was bi (one friend said she knew I was "girl friendly") so I continued happily living my life.  It would be another year before I proclaimed myself as polyamorous.  The simplest way to explain polyamory: the practice of engaging in multiple intimate relationships with the knowledge and consent of everyone involved.  Honesty and transparency should be in ALL relationships but when Hubby and I date a polyamorous woman, I can rest assured that she knows the rules of polyamory and won't disrespect me by trying to sleep with my husband without my knowledge and consent. I've found poly women are more concerned about sexual protection than the straight men I used to date.  Maybe I should've been poly sooner? LOL

The problem with being bisexual but only dating women is explaining to men that I don't want them. Yeah, before Hubby, I was strictly dickly but I found my Him.  Now I want my Her. As far as dating goes, I'm a Lesbian with a Husband. When men learn that I'm bi, they assume I'm down to fuck him and his woman. NO. I want my own woman and, if she chooses to, she can be with me and Hubby. Sorry Fellas. Yes, I'm polyamorous and bisexual but I won't sleep with you.

Another misconception about polyamory is the assumption that I'm a swinger. NO. Although there are polyamorous swingers, we are not sleeping with THAT many people. I just want him and her. Hubby just wants me and her (or his own girlfriend if mine doesn't want to date him). She'll want me, possibly Hubby and whoever she wants. It's that simple.

Now for those of you turning up your nose at the idea of sharing your mate with others. If your mate is cheating on you or if you're cheating on your mate, not only are y'all sharing partners but EVERYONE is getting hurt. Your relationships have no meaning because of your deceit! However, if you know you need more than one person to keep your life happy, why deny your happiness? Choose polyamory over cheating. Or be single. But don't hurt anyone for your own selfishness. You can't possibly be giving your all to anyone if you can't love them enough to be honest with them.

SHARE THE LOVE: "Side Lady or Side Bitch?" by Lea Mishell

SHARE THE LOVE
Side Lady or Side Bitch?
by Lea Mishell

Once I reached a certain age, my terminology changed.  I rarely use the word BITCH but sometimes it's called for!  When you act with dignity and respect, you're a Lady. When you act with a foul disrespectful attitude, you might be a Bitch.

I was raised to be a lady in the streets, I taught myself to be a freak in the sheets and prior to marriage I had a brief stint as a Side Lady. I am not poultry so don't call me a Chick.  I say I was a Lady because I knew my place in his life and never disturbed his household.  My status was solidified when his woman had the audacity to go through his phone, saw our most recent text conversation and called me!  I respectfully told her to talk to him about me which she did while I was on the phone.  When he told her to NEVER call me a bitch, I smiled.  True, I was disrespecting his relationship by helping him cheat but he never personally disrespected me.

Fast forward to my life now. I'm still a Lady but I'se married now!!! And with the beauty of polyamory, I can have my own Side Lady!!! The difference is that my Husband will know about her from the beginning of our relationship. She won't be hidden or lied about. She will be respected just as she respects my marriage. The same will go for my husband's girlfriends. And when we are blessed to find a woman for US... ah BLISS!!!  No secret rendezvous is worth the end of my relationship with my Husband and neither of us wants a divorce. Polyamory isn't for everyone but it's damn better than being with a cheater!

Share The Love: YOUR LOVER'S OTHER LOVER(S) by Lea Mishell

Share the Love:  YOUR LOVER'S OTHER LOVER(S)
by Lea Mishell

Something's not quite right. You sense that something is different about your mate. Maybe you're one of the lucky ones that gets the improved version of your lover only to see that effort being made for someone else. How is that lucky for you?! They weren't a full on asshole about it. They could've picked a stupid fight with you to give them the excuse to leave the house. Either way, you have the sinking feeling that your lover has another love elsewhere.

Now what do you do?! Do you gather evidence and confront your mate? Do you go off on them and have the mother of all blowouts? Or do you ask if you can join them...

Yes. That's right. I said it!

All of the tension, anger and anxiety that comes from cheating and being cheated on will never be good for anyone. As a person that believes in the power of Positivity, I try to rethink everything until everything is positive. Look at your situation differently. Your mate's other lover can be a benefit for you! Let your mate know that you know (or suspect) that he/she is involved with someone else and that you need to know why this other person is needed. You never know until you ask and you may find yourself in a new type of relationship. Your mate's friend could be everything you are and then some! He/she could be someone your mate can talk to without fear of judgment or they might do all of the freaky things you won't do! You won't know until you ask!

Now back to the other lover. Let's assume your mate reveals that in fact there is someone of interest but they haven't approached this new person because your mate wants you to know about them! What do you do? Listen quietly and put yourself in your mate's shoes to understand that although they love you, they need MORE. And you're only one person so why not share the work of keeping your mate happy? Who knows? Your mate's friend might like you too!! Do you know what that means?? You can have a new homie lover friend for yourself! Whether you want to involve yourself personally with your mate's lover is your choice but no matter what, your lover should feel comfortable enough to tell you anything and everything. And what kind of a relationship do you have if you can't tell your mate EVERYTHING?! Not a good one, in my opinion. Whether you are just dating or married, monogamous or polyamorous, honesty and trust are key to any relationship.

#WedNightPoetry: Masquerade (by Tammy Thomas)

Masquerade

Masquerade

He's intrigued by me. Yet he doesn't know me. He's mesmerized by my eyes. They are flirting with him. He's hypnotized by my power of seduction. And he doesn't want to get away. He needs to know who I am, but I like to play. Curiosity is killing him softly as we danced. Our swag lits up the room on fire. Love the cat and mouse game. Arouses his senses. Pleasuring his intuition. Then the clock strikes twelve! Like the wind, I'm gone. Leaving him breathless and wanting more.
