Classy, Rebecca Burt Reynolds. Thanks for reminding us that body shaming is okay so long as it's not done against women.

I'm going to have to agree with your friend. You have a good friend.

They may not be able to be released to the wild, but they *can* be retired to seapens, which are netted coves in natural ocean, with real currents and mental stimulation, where they can still be cared for by humans in the cases of those with medical issues or where their conditioning is too strong. Do you know there…

I'm hoping this is a long-term thing and not a short-term thing. We all know how it goes: some movie or whatever lets people know about some issue, and then everybody cares and tries to do something to help, boycotting one thing or giving to some charity, or whatever. But then a few months later that dies down and…

I saw this documentary recently and it was one of the best docs I've ever seen. And it was dumb of Sea World not to participate in it. Because as much as I think these parks should not exist — and that killer whales in particular have no business being placed in bathtubs — Sea World could have easily turned this into…

I couldn't be happier to see SeaWorld close. I don't think the movie had near enough time to make a complete case against SeaWorld, but the book Death at SeaWorld went a lot further. It infuriates me that they throw out their "conservation efforts" as though that matters one bit. It sounds like this, "Sure, I…

"Sell me sell you" the porpoise said
Dive down deep to save my head
You, I think you got the blues too~"

I know I'm being nit picky here but I wish they had chosen different wording. Like, instead of saying:

Yes let's make sure more innocent wildlife is tormented so the children can be entertained.

Watched this documentary with my mum and brother last night. The part where the mother whales are crying because some piece of shit just took their baby away just made me so so sad

I'm in a similar situation, though I somehow found myself seeing three people at once and the scheduling was nuts. I had to break it off with one of them just so I could manage. The two I am still seeing are also seeing other people and though it's been months no one has said that they want to be monogamous. Is this…

I think it's fine to talk about stuff like that. You need to be true to your feelings.

I haven't had the experience yet but I'm always on the look-out for it! It seems like it'd be right for me too.

This is something I've really been grappling with recently. I've had several nice, stable, long-term relationships, but I never really feel fulfilled (unless I accidentally develop some kind of side flirtation thing).

i've always wondered why i couldn't have two husbands.

i imagine being in love with someone, and i can imagine being in love with two someones. there's room in my heart for everyone. i don't see the conflict.

but you're right in there's no way to bring that up to people....

H.G. Wells had relationships like that. No one seemed to have bothered to document how he managed to do that. What approach he took, how he broached the subject with his female interests, and so on. I do know he had a number of women and men living with him from time to time.

It's not horribly rare to be in a poly relationship, whether it's just one relationship with more than two people or multiple relationships with different people. So long as everyone knows what's going on and is cool with it, it's not a huge thing. I mean, it is for society because everyone prizes monogamy, but it's…
