There’s an article I was reading the other week — I think in the Daily Mail — that I have since lost track of; to be honest, I was only reading it because it popped up in my Google alert for “bisexual” and I wanted to see what, exactly, was bisexual about it in the first place….

I think, a couple of weeks ago, back when the horrors of the past few weeks were still fresh, I alluded to the fact that there was an open tab in my browser that was a Refinery29 piece about a bi woman who loves having long nails. It is still in my tabs (well, it was until I…

I started this newsletter on 9/23/2022 in a fit of pique, because I was angry that the many media publications who had spent 2021 making a big deal of Bi Awareness Week, with a whole host of packages exploring the bi experience and biphobia, had suddenly gone quiet, with bi issues dismissed as not compelling…

One of the most common complaints fielded against bi activists is that we have a tendency to hit harder against queer biphobia than biphobia from the straights.  “Why are you constantly beating up on us?” many monosexual queers will ask bisexuals who call out their biphobia. “Don’t you see that straight people are the real…

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…

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,…

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…

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…

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…

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…
