The Future of Bisexual Activism - an extract for this paper of particular interest because it contains the written-in-1990 Bisexual Manifesto. I didn't even know we HAD manifesto. I'm going to paste it at the bottom of this post.
What color is Mulberry
The origin of the phrase "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle" (It wasn't Steinem!)
Thalassophobia: an intense and persistent fear of the sea/sea travel
Music
My first George Winston CD remains one of my favorites; playing the music of Vince Guaraldi.
The playlist I made when I gave myself permission to fail at cleaning and ended up actually succeeding
Yarning
Webs' year-end-blowout-sale theoretically ended yesterday but they still have stuff up
Crochet Pattern: Tiny Bubbles (Ravelry)
Crochet Pattern: Althea Shawl (I need to get back to working on the shawl I'm making with this pattern, it's like 90% done but I got distracted)
Crochet Pattern: The Yipyip aliens from Sesame Street
Crochet Pattern: The Not Knit Cowl - ends up appearing knit, but isn't
Omnomnoms
The Foundry is spendy but SO delicious. I need to go there again sometime instead of just staring at their menu online.
Social
Trying to figure out Friendica
A Buzzfeed quiz: which pair of wild animals match your personality (I got lion and tiger. That doesn't seem correct.)

The Bisexual Manifesto
First published in "Anything That Moves", 1990
We are tired of being analyzed, defined and represented by people other than ourselves, or worse yet, not considered at all. We are frustrated by the imposed isolation and invisibility that comes from being told or expected to choose either a homosexual or heterosexual identity.

First published in "Anything That Moves", 1990

Monosexuality is a heterosexist dictate used to oppress homosexuals and to negate the validity of bisexuality.
Bisexuality is a whole, fluid identity. Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or duogamous in nature: that we have “two” sides or that we must be involved simultaneously with both genders to be fulfilled human beings. In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders. Do not mistake our fluidity for confusion, irresponsibility, or an inability to commit. Do not equate promiscuity, infidelity, or unsafe sexual behavior with bisexuality. Those are human traits that cross all sexual orientations. Nothing should be assumed about anyone’s sexuality, including your own.
We are angered by those who refuse to accept our existence; our issues; our contributions; our alliances; our voice. It is time for the bisexual voice to be heard.
