Welcome to my life…

I came up with this bingo card as a way to keep sane whilst hanging out with white geeky folks. If you’re bisexual and you live in the U.K, hanging out with white geeky folks will be an unavoidable fact of life.

I’ve learned how to nod and look appreciative when people blather on about the focus of their lives, when their lives actively ignore anyone who is black, poor, not a programmer, or entrenched in a very specific range of British-isms. So instead of feeling sad, I can have fun shouting BINGO! at random moments during the evening.

This basic bingo card is very British-specific, so if you live elsewhere, go forth and make your own regional specialty.

P.S - Linux totally needs to go on the next expanded bingo card.
