Queering Maths-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 are great […]

Being a Carer means…

…. taking your Parent-with-dementia out and helping them choose a Valentine’s Card for your other Parent, keeping it somewhere safe (because someone with dementia will forget where their safe place is and you either end up with multiple copies of things or none!) then getting it out the night before Valentines and prompting them to […]

And The Stars Look Very Different Today

Since David Bowie died last week there has been avalanche of blog posts celebrating and critiquing him. This isn’t really one of them – I just want to talk about what it was like for me to see visibly Queer celebrities when I was growing up. I was born in the 70’s so Bowie’s early […]

BiCon MultiFaith Spiritual Space 2014

I actually started writing this post soon after BiCon but inevitably other things and stuff took precedence so it’s only finished now – sorry for the extreme lateness … Spiritual is probably not the first word you would associate with a BiCon. The Survey shows that the vast majority of attendees (or at least the […]

Yesterday evening was my final BothWays Talky Space as a facilitator. It feels very strange – I facilitated the very first one in September 2009 and I’ve been at most of the since (I’ve missed a handful due to other commitments and illness and on one memorable occasion only made it to the last 15 […]

September 23rd

It’s Bi Visibility Day again. It’s felt very strange not to have been organising and event or something. But i enjoyed going to an event organised by someone else – particularly when it involved eating delicious ice cream. I’ve been busy with stuff and things lately and haven’t had time to write anything profound for […]

No means Bi?

When I’m using my tablet the spellcheck/autocomplete keeps on replacing the word “bi” with “no”! I was very confused at first and then I realised that on the QWERTY keyboard letters B and N and I and O are adjacent to each other. It’s very easy typo to make when you are using a touchscreen […]

Real Life Gets in the Way

So a year ago, I decided I ought to have a blog. I did a bit of reading, looked at other people’s blogs and fussed for a while about exactly how I should set mine up. In the end the chose the name Heart Shaped Peg (because I’m much harder to fit into a standard […]

Bi Visibility Day

Today i’ve been extra-alert to anyone wearing purple. Wondering whether they’ve put it on specially for Bi Visibility Day or whether it’s just that they like the colour? (or maybe it’s their laundry day and that purple t-shirt was the only clean top they had left?) It got me speculating (in a non-creepy way!) about […]
