You can’t tell me nothing.
First things first: my friend died a week and a half ago. If it is strange to learn that I considered the director of Super Size Me to be a friend, well, it is stranger still to publicly say that he was. I don’t really like to put my business on main, but I will say…

Let’s call the whole thing off.
Obsessive bisexuals — and obsessive Lil Nas X fans — may recall that back in January 2023, the artist also known as Montero posted a tweet suggesting that he might be, ahem, “a little bisexual,” leaving it to the masses to wonder what, exactly, “a little bisexual” might mean. Well, wonder no more, because he’s…

Am I asking too much?
A group I’m involved with is in search of a new leader. It is a long, slow process — as all well-considered leadership searches should be — and there are many chances (commonly referred to as “listening sessions”) for various members of the community to weigh in and express their opinions and desires about who…

Her desire
I am not, for what it’s worth, the kind of woman who watches gay male porn. I have never been drawn to yaoi, or boys’ love, or any of the other iterations of Two Boys Kissing that many of my colleagues and peers are drawn to*. It actually took me a fair amount of time…

Guys I saw Challengers
Challengers! If you haven’t seen it, go see it. If you have seen it — or if you don’t care about spoilers — please read on. This past Saturday I was hanging out with my mom, working on a puzzle in the shape of the United States*, when I got a text from my good…

The privilege of an early death
In the words of my friend Joe Garden’s creation Jim Anchower, “Hola amigos. I know it’s been a long time since I rapped at ya,” but, well, life got in the way! I had to go to San Francisco for my cousin’s daughter’s baby naming, and then it was Pesach, and then my alma mater…
The B+ Squad
A website for the modern bisexual.
A website for the modern bisexual.
In the fall of 2023, I noticed something strange. After a flurry of interest of interest in bisexuality — packages devoted to Bisexual Awareness Week, article after article about how biphobia was real and the bisexuals were, in fact, struggling — Bisexual Awareness Week had once again descended upon us and there was… nothing. No dedicated weeks on any of my favorite sites. No essays rehashing old and new bisexual gripes. Even the pitches I sent in about bisexuality generated little to no interest from editors.
It seemed that the media world was just… done with bisexuals.
And as a frustrated bisexual with a lot of things to say, I decided to do what every writer was doing: I started a newsletter about bisexuality. Welcome to The B+ Squad.
All essays I’ve written on bisexuality — including ones from the project’s Substack era — are on this site. If you’d like to support the project (and get bonuses for yourself, including early access to essays), you can check out my Patreon.
