One of my friends and fellow organizer for the Modern Poly project, Mai Li, has worked her tail off to produce a song + music video.  She did this on a super tight budget plus an even tighter deadline.

Alan with Polyamory in the Media already chimed in on this, but I also want to get the word out through my own reader circles.

Newsweek posted an online article about polyamory, highlighting Teresa Greenan and the “Family” web series.  Last I checked, there’s close to 180 comments on the article. Some good, some interesting.

I’ll admit, I was a little critical of this series when it first started. I was concerned about the campy humor that poked fun at poly sterotypes. As the series progressed, the plot becomes more serious and realistic.

In case you are one of the people that stumbled upon my site by searching for Terisa Greenan on Google or saw my comment on the Newsweek article – hi!   If you have questions about poly, check out the other posts on my site. I also recommend checking out the site for MNPoly (the group I help lead).

Thanks to Alan in Polyamory in the Media for this one:

TMJ4, a tv station in my old hometown of Milwaukee, WI, did a 3-minute feature on polyamory.  They also featured the poly group in the area, called Young Milwaukee Poly.

Here you go. For some reason, YouTube chose a rather weird frame as the “cover” for this video. I’m trying to get that fixed.

silvurhuntress/Geeky Valkyrie on YouTube

A couple of years ago, a YouTube video was posted on the polyamory community on livejournal. The poster showed off their work and sought feedback.  I found it fascinating and awesome that someone was using online video as a means of spreading information about polyamory, and bookmarked the link.

Recently, I went back to check out the video, and found that there were several others, with promises of additional videos to come. I enjoyed what I viewed, and wanted to share this resource with you.

• Video 1: Polyamory - This is an awesome video that outlines one example on how to form polyamorous relationships. It includes tips on communication, trust, and managing headspace (internal thoughts/feelings).
   
• Video 2: Polyamory and Jealousy – silvurhuntress examines different types of jealousy and how she and her husband address the issue.  She also provides some good advice on how to communicate your feelings without having it sound accusing or being /drama fuel.  The second half of the video consists of an update on her life, plus her studies into ways to increase a woman’s sex drive. (Yes, even with multiple partners, us poly women sometimes have libido issues)
   
• Video 3: Polyamory (update) – This was her 2007 year-end update.
   
• Video 4: Polyamory: Your Questions Answered – I <3 the lip piercing, by the way   This video is in response to a viewer’s questions on if it’s harder for men to find women that are open to polyamory versus the other way around.
   
• Video 5: I’ll be sick for ren fair! Rar! & Poly Questions Answered – After the initial gushing over the Texas Renaissance Festival, silvurhuntress answers a viewer’s question on whether her husband and boyfriend are romantically involved.  She clarifies the difference between a triad and the letter-shaped romantic configurations (yes, she attempts to diagram these using her fingers)

I enjoy silvurhuntress’s videos for a couple of reasons. First, she is very candid and informal in addressing her audience, which gives her work a more approachable feel.  The videos are edited to include the bloopers (and add funny captions around them).  Second, she repeatedly states that her advice is one method of living poly (rather than the ‘one true way’), and she also indicates that polyamory is not for everyone.
