  • What is a “heterosexual relationship”?

    Apologies for my laxity in sticking with my daily schedule recently; on top of (picture me gesturing broadly at the state of the world right now) I also just spent the last two weekends helping to facilitate a forty hour training for rape crisis/domestic violence advocates (it was lovely, I have a new team of…

  • Oh no I missed National Coming Out Day

    Yesterday — October 11, 2023 — was National Coming Out Day. Given that the first one was in 1988, I guess that means this was the 35th anniversary of the first National Coming Out Day. Momentous! I did not do anything for National Coming Out Day, not even my usual snarky social media post, because,…

  • No borders

    As you are very likely aware, a catastrophic level of violence erupted in Israel/Palestine this weekend. A group of Hamas militants breached the fences at the Gaza border and launched a series of brutal attacks on Israelis, many of them civilians; Israel responded with even more violence, and has been waging a major assault on…

  • Smash all binaries

    There’s a Massachusetts Daily Collegian piece that’s been sitting in my tabs since yesterday. I don’t want to go too hard on it — it’s literally written by a newly out college student — but it did open a line of inquiry that felt worth exploring further. The piece itself is whatever, literally just one more addition to…

  • Accelerationist theory

    Let me start by acknowledging that I don’t know if the Jordan Peterson tweet screencapped in this Michael Hobbes tweet is real. I mean, it definitely could be — it’s sure in keeping with the weird little reactionary slam poems Peterson has been posting on Twitter (sorry, X) of late — but also I couldn’t find any…

  • I could not imagine having enough time

    One thing you quickly learn when you are a bisexual woman is that there are “good” bisexual women and “bad” bisexual women, and the primary difference between the two is that the former are dating queers and the latter are dating straight men.  Really, it is not much more complicated than that. Bi women with…

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.
