Which came first: Polyamory or Monogamy?

As polyamory becomes more visible in modern society, I found myself wonder: Which came first, polyamory or monogamy?

It turns out that polyamory actually predates monogamy, rooted in early human lifestyles and survival needs.

My next question: Is polyamory making a comeback to meet some modern societal need? It’s clearly not the only factor, but it might be part of the reason we’re seeing more people explore non-monogamous relationships today.

Curious to hear your thoughts: Are we evolving back toward something older, or creating something new?

What to do with bookish stickers?

Am I the only one who hoards adorable bookish stickers but can’t bring myself to stick them anywhere? I had a whole pile stashed in a drawer. Too cute to “use up” but too awesome to forget.

This week, I needed a little refresh on my lock screen, and it hit me. Why not turn those stickers into phone backgrounds? Now I get all the joy of seeing them without the sticker commitment! YAY!!! Win-Win

Pro tip: This works for bookmarks and character cards too.
