One of the earliest memories I have of my Great Uncle Arthur is of him telling me that I shouldn’t use “Real” as an intensifier as it was an Americanisation and I should use “really”, I may have rolled my eyes at him, obviously I wanted to use ‘real’ because it made me sound American … Read More
I am reaching the conclusion, gradually, that I find it easier to connect with my emotions, indeed I find it far easier to access my strongest emotions when multiple people are involved. Consider that when I got involved with the Jellicle Cat our most intense topic of conversation was Princess Lex who she was also … Read More
I was late to the whole tabletop RPG thing, by which I mean I was intrigued at the group of nerdy guys who were running it when I was in fifth form but I wasn’t actually able to play it myself. Mostly I saw them playing OWOD Vampire (Old World of Darkness as opposed to … Read More
(The brief for this entry is as follows: It can be a coming out letter or a letter regarding how you hate their homophobia or whatnot. You don’t have to send it.) Dear Dad, I’m bisexual, I have been since, well, I don’t know when but I’ve known it since I was thirteen or fourteen … Read More

I have been enjoying the memes about the people who are trapped in the titan submersible, it’s only today that I’m getting a twinge of guilt and even then not as much as I really think I should. There’s a real gap in my mind between the fact that four people are stuck at the … Read More
How are we defining relationship here? Because I was very definitely calling things when I was in my ethical slut phase not Relationships. I think the Jellicle might be my first proper girlfriend cause M-I-L have only been together for ten years (this week). But then if we define relationship as being together rather than … Read More
Damn I kind of shot myself in the foot yesterday as Freddy could’ve been mentioned today. However, I do like other Queer artists, I could go modern as there are so many queer artists these days. I seriously considered going old school instead for a bisexual woman who’s been around forever. Is Madonna my favourite … Read More
My favourite Queer role model/celebrity… I’ve written pretty earnestly in previous years about Queer Icons and mentors both celebrity and otherwise. I love the fact that the queer family are so spread across the celebrity world and no longer in that funnysexual sort of way. Yeah I love RuPaul for getting Queer out and visible … Read More
