The representation question
If you have interacted with my Online Content™️ for a significant length of time, you may well be aware that, above all else, I am something of “a hater.” I can’t help it, there’s a knee jerk contrarianism built into my DNA; if something is popular my immediate assumption is that there must be some…

Two ways of thinking
Last week, The Advocate ran a piece about The Kids™️, aka Gen Z, who — as you may have heard from other, similar pieces that periodically run — are more openly queer and specifically more bisexual than previous generations. The Kids™️! They don’t want to be labeled! Their understanding of gender is too expansive to want to be…

Conflicting narratives
Hello from my COVID haze, friends. I’m five days into testing positive, and extremely bored of lying on my couch watching TV. But we do the things we must do for public and personal health, right? I was initially taking this time to make some headway on my Star Trek: Deep Space 9rewatch, but then I…

Science damn you
What is with this obsession with the idea that science can somehow explain who we are as people? I’m not exactly above it, I suppose. There was a period when I was considering doing 23andMe because I wanted some Scientific Confirmation™️ of my ethnic heritage (I ultimately held back because I’m cheap and had privacy…

WTF, Dear Abby
Allow me to summarize a recent Dear Abby letter (which you can read in full here): A bisexual woman named “Ginger” is engaged to be married to a man, only to be dumped by him three days before her wedding, apparently because, woops!, turns out her bisexuality, which he’s known about for a year or…

Fake bi girl… or unlucky in love?
Earlier this week, I had dinner with one of my very beautiful friends, a woman whose job is tied to her being beautiful. I mention her beauty, not just to brag that I have beautiful friends (although I do!), but because the fact that this woman is beautiful is relevant to what comes next. Which…
The B+ Squad
A website for the modern bisexual.
A website for the modern bisexual.
In the fall of 2023, I noticed something strange. After a flurry of interest of interest in bisexuality — packages devoted to Bisexual Awareness Week, article after article about how biphobia was real and the bisexuals were, in fact, struggling — Bisexual Awareness Week had once again descended upon us and there was… nothing. No dedicated weeks on any of my favorite sites. No essays rehashing old and new bisexual gripes. Even the pitches I sent in about bisexuality generated little to no interest from editors.
It seemed that the media world was just… done with bisexuals.
And as a frustrated bisexual with a lot of things to say, I decided to do what every writer was doing: I started a newsletter about bisexuality. Welcome to The B+ Squad.
All essays I’ve written on bisexuality — including ones from the project’s Substack era — are on this site. If you’d like to support the project (and get bonuses for yourself, including early access to essays), you can check out my Patreon.
