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 [...]
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 [...]

WOW Festival: Women & Finance
Recently I attended the absolutely amazing Women of the World Festival which is held every March at the Southbank Centre in London. As always with these type of events choosing one panel to attend out of the 7 or 8 in each time slot is so hard because they all look so good. Do you choose the ones that appeal to you the most, or the ones that [...]
You Are Not Alone
When you’re attracted to more than one gender it can be incredibly isolating. Often you’re the only person you know who is like you. You are the sole bisexual at home. You are the only bi in school/the office. You hang out with your straight/gay friends after work. Perhaps you have a gay/straight partner you can spend time with to [...]
