There’s a bi group in Utah called the 1 to 5 club (named after the Kinsey Scale).
What would the equivalent be for the Klein Grid?
Pls RT/ask your mathsy friends.

QueensPark books are launching a new project documenting the histories of trans people who live in Brighton & Hove.
They’re recruiting a project coordinator to work c. 2 days a week.
yay! time for another of amo’s random bi audits!
Flicking through Introduction to Literature, Criticism and Theory (third edition, naturally). Still have it from a course that I ended up not doing, ages ago.
Anyway, heterosexuality, homosexual, homosexuality, lesbianism, and queer theory all get indexed (most of them many, many times). Bisexuality and related words get zero mentions in the index.
That’s despite Virginia Woolf, Jeanette Winterson, Oscar Wide, Alice Walker, Gore Vidal, William Shakespeare, Eve Kosofsky Sedgewick, Vita Sackville-West, Kate Millet, Byron and Aubrey Beardsley all featuring. (As well as probs loads of other bis / bi-ish ppl whose names I don’t recognise.)

What a charming coincidence. This month’s Brighton Bothways coffee meet is on the same day as the Science of Sex event being held round the corner :)
Saturday 9th Feb - come to both!
The Science of Sex is part of @BrightonScienceFest. I’ll be there cos I’m a sex nerd and it’s only £10 (or £8 concessions).
The coffee meet is from 3-5pm, come whenever you can, drop-in/drop-out, for everyone attracted to more than one gender (as well as for our allies).
It’s at the Redroaster cafe. They do good cake (including a little gluten-free).
Sometimes ppl hang around/ go the pub to afterwards. If anyone wanted to plan to do that so as not to miss bits of the SoS event, then it couldn’t hurt to post about it in the coffee meet fb group as there may be others who’d like to as well eg moi :D
*It’s pretty annoying how tumblr keeps double-posting pics atm, huh? Decided to leave it this time seeing as it’s appropriate tho :)

and SM have for challenging theories of self-identity. The traditional way of
viewing the self is as one, coherent whole but, as constructivist and constructionist
theorists have pointed out, this can be an unhelpful view leading to conflict over what the
‘real’ self is (Butt et al., 1997). It seems that bisexuality, non-monogamy and SM have
the capacity to help people become aware of different facets of themselves and perhaps
come to a different understanding of identity. Bisexual people can form deep
relationships with more than one gender, which may draw out different aspects of their
identity. Non-monogamous people might see themselves reflected differently in the eyes
of those they are closely involved with. SM enables the exploration of different kinds of
dominant and submissive states of mind.”
