(Content Note: If you’re uncomfortable with me talking about my kinks and/or feelings then this one isn’t for you!) As ever, when I talk about labels I feel like need to write an extensive disclaimer, so many queer women find labels to be problematic. I guess I kind of don’t when it comes to labels … Read More
Last year I wrote about having a community of elders rather than a single mentor. This year I’m returning to the notion of what mentorship actually is, my sister is involved in a more formal mentorship program, obviously this isn’t a Queer thing this is a Woman thing cause my sister at least claims to … Read More
Phew. Ok, last year I said it was the shallowness of popular queer culture, believe me I’m still critical of that! This year, I guess I’ve got to talk about Rainbow Washing and the ability of queer people to ignore it. It’s kind of hard for me to be critical of it because my instinct … Read More
I think last year I really got to grips with how odd a question this is and I celebrated my bi and nerdy friendship with Harry Potter over twenty years ago. Around that time I met a man, he wasn’t one of the lovely gay guys in UniQ, he was much older, he came to … Read More
Last year I was all about Pride and learning the darker sides of LGBT history (which apparently gets lost as soon as you mention anything that touches upon people who really go into eugenics, which means a lot of people in the early twentieth century unfortunately). But today I found out another person that makes … Read More
Last year I showed some love to The Jellicle Cat because she is one of my favouritest Queer People that I know. The prompt for today is to show some love to a queer person in my life. And frankly I was tempted to just post about The Jellicle Cat again because she’s a wonderful … Read More
Queer is such a reclaimed word it seems untrue. It’s absolutely the epitome of a reclaimed slur and it’s so godsdamned inclusive. The whole bloody Quiltbag can use it even the Aces and they tend to get left out of a lot of things (or so it seems to me, I could be wrong) Queer … Read More
“Share a coming out story” is the prompt today, it’s always going to be ‘a’ even if it’s mine because, as I stated last year all of us who are ‘straight passing’, so all of us vaguely femme bisexual women, are always sodding coming out. Yes I know butch lesbians and all the other flavours … Read More
Last year I had a good time reconnecting with me hella queer roots by taking part in #RemotePrideMonth – sure we’re opening up again but some of us are still doing weekly COVID tests and not hugging our families without some serious risk assessments. So I’m going to do it again. These are the prompts. … Read More
I love The Princess but her attitude to death I find weird. It really bugged me her not wanting to talk about the serious bits after Dad died and how she actively flinched from his box of ashes. I’ve been thinking a lot about death this week because it’s been a year since Dad died. … Read More
