"I’ve never been horny enough to wanna start a spreadsheet, y’know?" ☠️☠️☠️☠️

W-h-a-a-t? After reading your underview of the NYT interviews of members of a self-proclaimed polycule, I read the original piece in the NYT Magazine. You had covered all the main DIMPLES -- no POINTS could be ascertained -- but really, who's pulling who''s leg here? The answer seems to be EVERYBODY.

"I've never been horny enough to wanna start a spreadsheet" made me laugh out loud.

Then I just had to re-watch Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda on Netflix. There I am exposed to new vocabularies -- of words, of wardrobes, of eye signals, of sassy and cocky self-deprecation and braggadocio, of familiar turns of phrase turned atumble, of novel dance steps on the high wire of spontaneous predilections . . .

My favorite p-word is PLAY, and it beats making spreadsheets any day, for sure.
