Great LGBTQ+ merch from Rainbow & Co

Rewind 5-10 years and bis were faced with a very poor and limited choice in terms of shopping. Stalls at Pride were rainbow only. Online shops weren’t much better. You could either buy something with a bi flag slapped on it or a t-shirt reading “God said Adam and Eve, so I did both”. If you were looking for something subtle, less sexualised or hell, even just stylish, unless you could make it yourself you were out of luck. I love how much this has changed! (Before I start gushing about Rainbow & Co, it’s worth mentioning at this point that companies do not give me freebies or approach me t ..read more

Two books to pre-order!

Two awesome bi activists have books coming out in 2021 and I can’t wait to read them! The first is Queerly Autistic: The Ultimate Guide for Lgbtqia+ Teens on the Spectrum by Erin Ekins. This will be a vital resource for young people, especially as being autistic and LGBTQ+ is marginalised despite the fact that they frequently coincide. You can pre-order it here*. I also highly recommend checking this out if you organise events for LGBTQ+ people. When I ran Nottingham BiTopia for example, about a 1/4 of attendees were autistic or neurodiverse. In case you aren’t following her already, Erin’s T ..read more

Eastshade: gaming, grief, and lockdown

Mild spoilers for Eastshade within. One of the few joys of lockdown has been the chance to discover new games and play them for hours on end without interuption. I notched up 10 consecutive hours in Heaven’s Vault one Saturday back in May because it was so entralling, I just couldn’t bring myself to stop. And the light evenings back then meant I could still go for permitted walk of the day afterwards. How fabulous! For the past few weeks people have been feeling on edge, knowing lockdown restrictions could become harsher any at moment with little to no warning. Back in July for example, peop ..read more

When I feel too anxious to eat

Content note: In this post I talk about anxiety, struggling to eat, and mushy foods that help me. Disclaimer: None of this is medical advice, just my thoughts! Please speak to your doctor if your mental and/or physical health is taking a turn for the worse at the moment. I want to write about topics like this to normalise talking about mental health problems, especially as they are so prevalent in the bi community. It’s easy to look around and feel like you are the only one. Do you ever get so anxious it makes you feel sick? Thankfully it doesn’t happen to me very often, but when it does I r ..read more

Beautiful books to add to your reading list

I have read two memoirs this year which I wholeheartedly recommend and go really well together. The first is “We Have Always Been Here” by Samra Habib. I first heard of Samra when I attended a panel on the Desi LGBTQ+ scene at the WOW Festival in London this year. I was captivated by what she had to say and pretty much ran to the book table to buy a copy her memoir afterwards. The cover for “We Have Always Been Here”. At first glance it shows a pattern of pink, green, orange, and turquoise shapes – which you then realise are actually the outlines of people. Samra writes about her childhood in ..read more

Young Bisexual People & Self Injury Study

Bi's of Colour Website: SIBL research study http://man.ac.uk/9YjBjj The SIBL research study is looking to examine which psychological factors or processes are associated with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in young bisexual people. The reason we are focussing on young people is because adolescence/young adulthood is a time when this behaviour has been found to particularly emerge.   We are looking for people aged 16-25, who identify as bisexual (or attracted to more than one gender), and who have had NSSI thoughts/urges/behaviour in the previous 6 months. We will ask partici ..read more

Queering Maths-World

a heart shaped peg in a big round world During this Covid-19 Lockdown I’m away from my Poly-Family and other networks as well apart from my Family-of-Origin – doing my best to stay safe in the more asthma-friendly air by the sea. I’m really missing actively being an Aunty to my (one of) my partner’s children children – phone calls and Skype are great but they aren’t the same as actually being with them. For health protection it makes perfect sense to divide us all up by household but that’s not how many of our complicated and wonderful families usually work…. Even though I’m not responsible ..read more

(In)Accessibility & Covid-19
Hannah Bee's Bisexual Blog

TL;DR – we must make sure our society is as accessible as possible, and the bi+ community must keep organising online socials and events post-lockdown. For many different reasons, the wider world was out of reach to a lot of people before the lockdown. Most buildings and public transport are not accessible. A disability or chronic health condition might keep someone at home. Someone might have caring responsibilities. Or things simply cost too much. Over 20% of the UK’s population lives in poverty. All of the above issues affect bi+ people disproportionately. Everyone’s experience of lockdow ..read more

Resources for Covid-19

Many of us across the world are either social-distancing, self-isolating, or living under a lockdown because of the coronavirus at the moment. LGBTQ+ people already experience higher rates of mental health problems, disability, underlying health conditions, domestic violence, and lower levels of income. It is going to be an especially difficult time for us. I hope these resources might be useful for you. Know any resources for your country? Please comment below and I will add them to this post! Thank you. Don’t forget you can use apps like Meet Up to chat with other LGBT+ people. Many ..read more
