What I’ve Been Doing Lately
- Went to annual Bisexual Organizing Project meeting in January, was thinking of signing up to be on a committee or two. There weren’t enough people running in the board election, so I threw my hat in. I won. At-large director, one year term.
- This an unpaid position, but it has important responsibilities, and involves training, so I figured it would not only be a way to serve my community, but also gain some skills & non-profit experience, so I’d make it my job.
- Helping plan the BECAUSE conference, April 17-19th serving as the liaison between board & University of Minnesota Queer Student Cultural Center, who is hosting the event.
- (Tentatively) Will be on a panel presentation about neurodiversity and bisexual & trans* identities
- This week was busy.
- Monday- went to a hearing about minimum wage laws (an exception to it for tipped workers)
- Tuesday- long awaited therapist appointment (had to do some bureaucratic wrangling to get back on Medical assistance) Depressing & anxiety has been getting a lot better- the increasing sun is helping!
- Wednesday- Wellspring Weds. at Unity Unitarian, delicious dinner and discussion of a book about Unitarian Universalist involvement in the Civil Rights march to Selma (50th anniversary of this March is coming up)
- Thursday- BOP board meeting
- Friday-chilling
- Saturday- Take Action Minnesota‘s annual meeting, then BECAUSE planning meeting.
- Today I chilled and cleaned the house.
- Tomorrow, I will *finally* be doing another Erik’s Ranch tour of the St Paul Cathedral, plus a reporter from the Pioneer Press will be there, so hopefully that will lead to more tours!
Archived Blog List
Periodically I weed thru the blogroll, and removed dead links or long inactive blogs. However, sometimes there are cool blogs that while inactive, still have good info on them. If it’s on wordpress, then I’ll still have the blog on “Follow”, so I’ll know when a blog becomes active again, and if it does so continuously then I will add it back on (if the material is interesting to me) If your old blog is listed here and has moved, please comment with the new url. If you have a blogspot, Livejournal or something else that has become active again that’s on this list, then please comment. If you’ve simply decided to make your web presence a personal site rather than a blog, please comment.
