Wise words and important research

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

When it comes to bisexuals and relationships, Greta Christina says it all: http://www.alternet.org/sex/84171/?page=entire.
And, on an unrelated note, for you smokers out there, check out this study. Keep in mind: research shows that bisexual women smoke more than women of any other orientation. What’s up with that? We need to put our butts out, ladies. […]

The Fun Never Stops…

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

What a fun week it’s been! I got to hang out at Kink.com headquarters recently, where the affiliate program manager, Terry Mundell, took me on a tour. Thanks, Terry! Kink is located at the historic Armory building in San Francisco’s Mission District, a gorgeous castle-y looking place. I got to say hello to founder and […]

Gratitude

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

I was so delighted and honored to speak at not one but two universities this past week. First I got to talk to the amazing psychology grad students at the Wright Institute in Berkeley on Tuesday, as part of their 5th Annual Symposium on Culture & Diversity. Then I travelled to Baltimore, to give a […]

London, SF, DC, and Points Inbetween

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

What a whirlwind couple of weeks it’s been — and continues to be! I got to go to the London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, where my fiancee was showing two of her latest films, The Insomniacs and Godspeed. Then, we had a show of her films at the fabulous Femina Potens art gallery when […]

Coming and Going

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

I just had a fabulous week and I have another great one coming up, so I thought I’d share. I just got back from Toronto, where I got to visit my adorable new baby “nephew” (hi, Samuel!) and his parents, my dear friends Sly and Sophie. While I was in town, I was fortunate enough […]

Why “Bi”?

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

This quote comes from the Bi Visibility Project at UC Davis, in Davis, CA, and I find it really interesting. What do you think?:
“Doesn’t the word ‘Bisexual’ reinforce the gender binary?
Many people agree that the word ‘bisexual’ isn’t perfect. Some people don’t like the fact that it has ’sexual’ in it because they feel it […]

Best Sex Interview

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

This week I got to be interviewed by one of my inspirations, Rachel Kramer Bussel, the editor of Best Sex Writing 2008. Rachel has written and edited tons of books about sex. Like Violet Blue, she’s one of those people who, if there’s something you should know about sex, has probably written the book on […]

Lisa Diamond’s Study

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

Lisa Diamond, a professor at the University of Utah, is getting a ton of press about her latest research, on bisexual women’s identity. Check out what the press is saying here and here and here. My thoughts on the whole situation will be posted soon, so stay tuned for that.
And speaking of bisexuals and academics, […]

Bi Visibility Project at Creating Change Conference

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

If you’re going to the Creating Change conference this year, be sure to attend the Bi Visibility Project workshop! It’s being led by Kim Westrick, a fabulous student/ activist from University of California, Davis. She is going to knock your socks off with information about the Project, which she started at her school. Very inspirational […]

Four Four and More

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

My (not-so-guilty and not-so-secret) guilty little secret is that I am a devoted watcher of America’s Next Top Model. So, I was psyched to find out about Four Four, a site run by a fellow fan.
Big thanks to Kat, for helping me get my blog all nice and pretty and coordinated with the overall new […]
