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 [...]
(In)Accessibility & Covid-19
TL;DR – we must make sure our society is as accessible as possible, and the bi+ community must keep organising online socials and events post-lockdown.For many different reasons, the wider world was out of reach to a lot of people before the lockdown. 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.
The image [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Bi Activism: For Those Who Like Readi...
Often we want to do more to increase our quality of life and promote inclusion but we don’t know what to do. Hopefully this page will give you some ideas to get you started.
If your activism isn’t inclusive of BAME bis, disabled bis, trans bis, older bis, younger bis, bis who practice a religion, fat bis…etc etc. then please [...]
