May Personal Update

• Went to the May Day festival in Minneapolis, tabled for the Bisexual Organizing Project, had fun handing out Bi Pride/Ally stickers. Entertained myself by talking with the MRA (men’s rights activists) in the booth next to us. (Hey, even if I disagree with them, there wasn’t anything in their agenda that was anti-bi or anti-GLBTQ) I think I mostly confused them!
• Have started a NeuroQueer Facebook group for the Upper Midwest– If you are not on Facebook but want to be connected, please e-mail me at caelesti AT gmail dot com. We’ll be planning workshops for next year’s BECAUSE and hopefully other GLBTQ and disability conferences and events.
• There is also now a NeuroQueer book club, so people from any location can join, and we’ll be reading things that are either out of print/copyright or Creative Commons, so screen-reader accessible docs will be posted on the group. The reading for May is This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color Finish date May 26th. Oh! Upon a search apparently this is now back in print just this April! I’ll let them know and this may change our reading plans…
• Going to the Northern Dawn Covenant of the Goddess Beltaine ritual on the 9th.
• Scheduled my driver’s test for the 12th! Wish me luck!
• There is an ADF Upper Midwest retreat in June, which I need to register for- I managed to convince Dan to come along!
