Quite well, thank you for asking. 🙂 I should do another comic with the newly embiggened peas as the background, just so’s people who are curious can see what’s up. Harhar, accidental pun there.
I am likewise unimpressed by the internet documentation of RA although I think the wikipedia page on Non-monogamy sums it up pretty well with “do not divide relationships of partners and non-partners”; in other words you don’t distinguish between partners and non-partners.
In practise (for me) this means not having partners/relationships at all. Lotte put it very well (as I write this Lotte is appreciatively rubbing their head against my shoulder in a cat like fashion) in their coming out of the closet post http://www.polyinpictures.com/2012/05/19/164-unfaithful/
I could say more but I don’t want to dominate. I’m quite enthusiastic about this subject. You might have noticed.

Yayyyyy, peas!
I am amused and pleased that this is the first comment! It’s the first thing I’d notice too, to be fair.
How are the peas doing?

Relationship anarchy! WOO!
Can you recommend some sources for RA? I’ve heard of it, but haven’t read much beyond that 8 points thing by Andie Nordgren
Especially as the wiki page seems to have been deleted by someone who has since retired…

I just want to add to this, since I found an AMAZING article that describes Relationship Anarchy very thoroughly: http://dwam.tumblr.com/post/2871307252/infinite-relationships-relationships-without
The eight points thing is this, right? I’m asking on Twitter right now for more elaborative sources.
Okay, @FearlessKnits on Twitter recommends this article, the problem with polynormativity. I’m only a little way in but it is connecting with me very well so far.
Edit: Okay, I just finished it, and it is excellent, and the comments are pretty interesting too. Highly recommended.
