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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Bridget Ziegler is many things: co-founder of the far right group Moms for Liberty (ugh), a Sarasota School Board member, and generally an ultra-conservative terror wreaking havoc on the marginalized people of Florida. She is also — maybe! — bisexual. That latter revelation comes to us courtesy of a weird and honestly pretty gross Miami Herald piece that surfaces…

When I was a teenager, I had two very dear family friends — uncles, really, though not by blood. Their names were David and Gary. David and Gary were brought into my life through my mother’s research and Gary’s activism — my virologist mother’s HIV research, which led to HIV advocacy, which led her to…

Here’s the thing about me: I’m delusional enough to believe that I can do whatever I want to if I just put effort into it. That’s how I co-launched a bicoastal professional development conference for gender marginalized writers that ran for three years and attracted speakers like Lisa Kudrow, Gina Prince Bythewood, and Jill Abrasion….

Here’s a strange thing to think about: over the entire run of writing this newsletter (so, since the end of September 2022), I have been single. And not even just that period: my last serious relationship ended in March 2019, which means the entire time that I have been doing my journey of intellectual exploration…
