Bisexuality briefing for the Switchbo...
23-minute video briefing about being supportive to bi people.
Back in December 2021, I was hired by Switchboard LGBT Helpline to do a session on the theme of bisexuality, for their volunteers. I did a little presentation, then a Q&A.
They’re based in London, whereas I was in Nottingham, but due to the wonders of internet communi [...]
Hello again post BiCon
It has been a while and enjoying virtual BiCon has left me feeling like being more in touch with friends.[BiCon being the yearly national get-together for bisexuals and friends]I found BiCon felt a lot like a BiCon this year. It was my 27th and 2nd time it was virtual.I found Discord noisy but OK. I\'m not sure what I\'d replace it with. The [...]
Bi funding research results
Our research into the funding of UK bi organisations is out today!
This represents a lot of people’s insights and ideas, gathered by me and Libby (of Biscuit) and John (of the London Bisexual Meetup). Thanks to everyone who contributed!
We said from the start that we wanted our findings to go out in public so that other interested fund [...]
Goodbye from Bi’s of Colour
Goodbye from Bi’s of Colour
Bi’s of Colour was formed at BiCon London in 2010 – a year after a racist incident before BiCon 2009 by one of the organisers. A few of us talked that year about what it would look like to have a safer space for the minority within a minority at the longest running bisexual event in the world. Back t [...]

Image description: Nila sat in Sam’s Cafe in Brixton, modelling a robot pendant I brought back from Spain for them.
Nila, one of the co-founders of Bi’s of Colour died a few days ago. We are all saddened not only by their death, but by the way they were mistreated by people and organisations that were supposed to help disabled, quee [...]
The evil of Issues in Human Sexuality
I recently tweeted about Issues in Human Sexuality on Twitter, and I was intending to make it a long thread with all my thoughts. But I could tell I was quite upset, and any millennial worth their salt knows \'never tweet angry\'!So I\'ve turned to this blog as a brief outlet, because I cannot let it go entirely. Thank you for indulging my ne [...]
New versions of old email lists
YahooGroups shut down in December 2020, and that had been what we were using for the local bi email lists.
I still think email lists are worth having! as not everyone likes Facebook or Twitter or whatever. So I’ve re-set-up the lists on Groups.io.
If you were on one of the old lists, you probably had an invite at the time of [...]
Reasons for (& against) BiCon bei...
BiCon 2020 was online. Here’s my reasoning for why I think it’s probably best to do it that way again in 2021.
This last autumn, I spent a lot of time listening to people about BiCon, because of the anti-racism review. (Here’s the main write-up from that.)
I was talking to a friend one day in the middle of that process, and [...]
Great LGBTQ+ merch from Rainbow &...
Rewind 5-10 years and bis were faced with a very poor and limited choice in terms of shopping. Stalls at Pride were rainbow only. Online shops weren’t much better. You could either buy something with a bi flag slapped on it or a t-shirt reading “God said Adam and Eve, so I did both”. If you were looking for something subtle [...]
