Timeline: How to organise a Big Bi Fu...
I am still searching for someone to take over running the Big Bi Fun Day. However in the meantime it makes sense to document everything I’m doing as I go along ready for the next person.
Last week of May, June, first half of July
Rest time. Fatigued from running the event. Need not to think about it AT ALL for a while!
Second half of [...]
The highs and lows of Life is Strange
Warning: Spoilers within!
I don’t know about you, but I feel permanently exhausted by mainstream media and its heteronormativity. So I’ve been desperately searching for more LGBTQ+ books, shows, movies, and games to consume.
Buoyed by my discoveries of Gone Home and Tacoma I moved on to Life is Strange and was delighted to discove [...]
Tell me about your queerness
CW: gender questioning, bullying
I’m super insecure, about most things. Don’t be fooled by this faux-extroverted shell – I’m a bottler, a repressor, a true charlatan. This weekend I found myself in a particularly fragile state – somewhat mentally, mostly physically – and, after mistakenly assuming someone had questioned my sexuality/identity, [...]
In defence of @PrideinLondon organise...
A lot has been said, including by many of my friends, about the incursion by a tiny group of Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists (TERFs) at the start of Saturday’s Pride in London parade route, and about the apparent failure of the Pride organisers to remove them and to protect trans attendees from seeing their message of prejudice [...]
the July What’s On guide
Our July email bulletin has landed in in-boxes all over the place, but for those of you who haven\'t signed up - here it is as a web page! It has news of bisexual meetups, Sparkle, and upcoming Prides around the North West. There\'s an appeal to help with spreading awareness of bisexual history, and of the first Leeds LGBT+ Literat [...]
The switch up: a manic episode
CW: manic and depressive episodes of bipolar affective disorder
You know those type of false epiphanies? The kind that tell you this is your dream and what you have always wanted to do, but ultimately, they are catering to a certain need or want in that precise moment? That’s pretty much hypomania for me.
On the 28th of March 2018 I decided t [...]
LIFE HACK: Getting mental health care...
CW: NHS, poor health service, navigating a stressful health service, getting a mental illness diagnosis, mention of suicide.
Navigating bureaucratic systems, especially one such as the NHS, can be a headache. It’s an institution for the people, run by certain people. Now, anything I suggest in the following post is to be taken mildly tongue [...]
Positive Masculinity
There’s a reason why I try my hardest in life to not have a routine or schedule – taking a break. God damn it’s hard to get back into the swing of things you want to do after a few weeks of not really doing much (apart from turning a year older, a holibob and a music festival. Not much tho).
Anywho. Time to dust off the cobwebs and pos [...]
Being out as bisexual at work
Yesterday my boss was preparing to go on annual leave. Next week we will have our company-wide staff meeting so she gave my two co-workers and I a sheet of notes of things she would like us to discuss. There was a paragraph for each of us on the page, and we knew which one was ours as they had been colour coded according to our favourite colo [...]
