tabweh! … it translates to ‘this is true’ in Ojibway-Cree in my language in northern Ontario.

I’m Canadian in Ontario and the first five years of my life, all I spoke or heard was my cultural language Ojibway-Cree. I went to school where I learned English but continued to only mostly speak my language.

Then I spent an awkward period as a teenager speaking English with a Native accent … a classic TV stereotypical Native accent and it was horrible. It took me about a decade to get over that phase, now I speak English as boringly as any Canadian. Not bad eh?

is this the right link to the community you are talking about? I thought I’d help by creating the link. It’s not easy to get those links sometimes.

It took me a few minutes to figure out what your Picassoesque reindeer was. I thought it was some kind of deformed moose.

I don’t mean to be negative though … the content and writing is great … it’s just the image of the reindeer was distracting for a minute before I could look through the rest of the comic.

There have been scientific studies to determine if humans are monogamous or not … it was inconclusive … we like to think that we can or should be paired together for life and live happily ever after but in reality, most of us are not.

The majority of my friends get together for a few years and then divorce, separate or live together in a personal hell because they feel they have to.

I have friends in Quebec in Montreal that have been together for 50 years now. They never had children worked as artists and writers their whole lives and pretty much had a free life between themselves. They made an agreement with each other when they started living together that every five years, they would sit down and discuss if they wanted to continue their relationship. They’ve been doing that ever since.

I do that in a way with my wife every few years … we also don’t have kids … we just sit down and talk about whether or not we want to continue. It’s not done during a crisis, a falling out or when we’re angry or out of sorts … we try to have it when we’re clearly thinking of things but it’s not easy … it’s not an easy topic to discuss … which is also why it’s important to have. After 28 years, we still choose to be together.

I think one of the biggest issues everyone glosses over is … we change during our lifetimes.

We are not the same person in our 20s, our 30s, our 40s for all kinds of reasons … our work, our situations, events in our lives, trauma, biological changes, genetics or just psychological changes. Some people stay the same sexually and stay the same throughout their lives, whether its being straight, bi, gay or anything else … I know some people who changed over time from being straight, to bi, to gay or to just asexual … in one way to another. I’m sure everyone know people like this. It’s human nature, most people are not born a simple being that stays the same forever, we evolve and change sometimes because we want to, we have to and other times against our will and biology.

So to have an ever changing pair of people living together … we should not expect them to stay the same forever and want to be together indefinitely.

But the inverse is also true too … maybe the two 20 year olds accept one another but change when they’re 30 … and now the 30 year olds now accept each other at this age … and on and on.

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
A tale of a galactic trip.
That started from this space craft port.
Aboard this mighty ship.

The mate was a mighty Vulcan man,
The Skipper brave and sure.
Five hundred filled this science ship
For a five year tour,
A five year tour.

The nebula started getting rough,
The science ship was tossed,
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Enterprise would be lost, the Enterprise would be lost.

The ship set warp near some uncharted sun system
With Vulcan Man
Captain Kirk,
A Scottish man and his team
Bones and Uhura
Sulu and Chekov
Here on the Enterpriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiise

EDIT: added some more … glad you enjoyed it @The_Picard_Maneuver

Sir … there’s no replicator in this region for 24 light years … we don’t know where he got this turkey.

Or so we’re led to believe … after a long absence, the Gomez that reappeared many years later was known to be quite two dimensional.

And it should be the size of a thimble … but because it’s so easy and accessible all the time … we just keep pressing it over and over and over again.
