(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 … Continue reading (In)Accessibility & Covid-19 →

Handing Over Your Bi Group

It could be because you want more free time, you want less responsibility, you’re leaving the area, or you’re burnt out.

Can bi volunteer work help you get a job?

This year has seen a lot of changes as I’ve moved house, moved cities and found a new job – no wonder I haven’t had the time or energy to write anything here since January!

Promoting Your Bi Group Meet Ups: The Rule of Four

When promoting a monthly event I’ve found ‘the rule of four’ quite an efficient way to get my message across. Part of me used to worry I was promoting myself too much, but over time I’ve realised that most people will only see one of your messages.

It might also be done under the pressure of unemployment and living on a very small income. As there are no funded … Continue reading Avoiding Burnout →

Speaking to the Press at Pride Parades

Last year at the Nottinghamshire Pride Parade me and Kate were interviewed by Notts TV and I remember thinking afterwards that I wasn’t ready for it. I didn’t say anything useful or get any good points across. I hadn’t even thought about speaking to the media, let alone prepare any messages that I wanted people to hear. … Continue reading Speaking to the Press at Pride Parades →

A Look Back at 2014

Originally Published Dec 2014 As we’re approaching the end of December I thought I’d write an entry to summarise the year…and what a year it’s been! We’ve had 12 pub socials at The Lord Roberts, a post BiCon meet up, Christmas drinks and we’ve marched in the Nottinghamshire Pride parade.

Tip for Putting Flyers on Public Notice Boards

Over the past few weeks I have been distributing flyers for BiCon around the good city of Nottingham. My key discovery has been that lots of places such as bookshops, cafes and supermarkets have mostly empty notice boards. This is because they either don’t provide any drawing pins or don’t provide enough of ’em! Even when I’ve … Continue reading Tip for Putting Flyers on Public Notice Boards →
