Beautiful books to add to your readin...
I have read two memoirs this year which I wholeheartedly recommend and go really well together.
The first is “We Have Always Been Here” by Samra Habib. I first heard of Samra when I attended a panel on the Desi LGBTQ+ scene at the WOW Festival in London this year. I was captivated by what she had to say and pretty much ran to [...]

Taking part in a research study is a simple and easy piece of activism to do. This one involves answering questions on your thoughts and experiences of the workplace. It takes around 45 minutes and it’s completely anonymous. You can also share the link to this page to help the researchers reach even more bi people. Their Call for Parti [...]

Website: SIBL research study http://man.ac.uk/9YjBjj

Queering Maths-World
a heart shaped peg in a big round world
During this Covid-19 Lockdown I’m away from my Poly-Family and other networks as well apart from my Family-of-Origin – doing my best to stay safe in the more asthma-friendly air by the sea. I’m really missing actively being an Aunty to my (one of) my partner’s children children – phone calls and Skype [...]

Most buildings and public transport are not accessible. A disability or chronic healt [...]
Resources for Covid-19
Many of us across the world are either social-distancing, self-isolating, or living under a lockdown because of the coronavirus at the moment. LGBTQ+ people already experience higher rates of mental health problems, disability, underlying health conditions, domestic violence, and lower levels of income. It is going to be an especially diffic [...]
Fragmentation of Self
I’ve been having a lot of lightbulb moments in the past few months that have really helped me figure out why I feel so disjointed.
I think it started before Christmas. I caught the movie Let it Snow which had queer cast members and a queer storyline. Until then I hadn’t realised that I’d never seen a queer Christmas film. On [...]
Straight washed history
Recently I went to one of my favourite places in London, the Imperial War Museum! Within seconds of walking in I was raiding the bookshop. One book by Stephen Bourne caught my eye. ‘Fighting Proud’ looks at the gay men who served in the armed forces or contributed to the war effort on the home front in World War I and World War II.

Hello again
Content Note: bereavement, a death by suicide
Wow, how has it been two years since my last post here?
I guess I had nothing to say for a while.
And then early on in 2019 I found out that someone I knew from my school days had died by suicide a few months before. Whilst I didn’t know her well, and I hadn’t even spoken to her since [...]
