We tend to think of Victorian England as the zenith of buttoned-up prudery, but the era was surprisingly queer when you scratch beneath the surface. I wrote about it for @bidotorg.bsky.social: bi.org/en/articles/...

Sex researcher Alfred Kinsey has been dead for generations, but he still lives rent-free in Republicans’ minds. | @jamie-paul.bsky.social

“Old Maid” was first used in the 1520s to designate a woman who remains single “well beyond the usual marrying age.” In the 1500s, that meant late teens or early 20s. What does it mean now? Pls read my essay "In Defense of Old Maids" @queermajority.bsky.social: www.queermajority.com/essays-all/i...

Nobody 'becomes' bi because it's trendy, hot, or cool. (it is, but that's a different subject). This is just a damaging stereotype, and thanks to @jamie-paul.bsky.social for showing us the research--and the facts! #bisexual

Some critics think that younger generations are more bi because it’s trendy. New research shows otherwise: www.queermajority.com/essays-all/b... | @jamie-paul.bsky.social

"If you don’t watch out, no decent man will marry you and you’ll die an old maid” my generation of girls in the 1950s heard. I wrote "In Defense of Old Maids" for @queermajority.bsky.social: history of "old maid" 1520 - my time, & how we see single women now. www.queermajority.com/essays-all/i...

By me for @queermajority.bsky.social: "My argument about why sex and perception of sex both matter will not please either side in the current debate, and that may be all the more reason why it’s needed. Evolution has moulded our minds as well as our bodies." www.queermajority.com/essays-all/i...

@jamie-paul.bsky.social sat down with Majid. They discussed his memoir, his formative first same-sex relationship, Iran’s peculiar embrace of trans women, the war between Iran and Israel, Islam and LGBT rights, the dangers of mixing religion with politics & more www.queermajority.com/contributors...

Gay and lesbian communities may never fully outgrow their biphobia, but bi people will outgrow their reliance on gay and lesbian communities. - @jamie-paul.bsky.social

“It was a miscarriage of justice so severe, and a mass psychosis so insane that even the Puritans themselves were stunned and appalled at themselves in the years that followed. Ironically, the spell had been broken.” www.queermajority.com/essays-all/a...

For @queermajority.bsky.social's "Heretic" Issue, I wrote about the history and branching evolution of American Puritanism. When you read it, you'll never think about US politics and culture wars the same way again. "A Puritan's History of the United States" www.queermajority.com/essays-all/a...

A long-standing point of contention within LGBT circles is the way bi people are often dismissed by gay/lesbian folks, but the data shows a coming shift. Bi people are numerically outgrowing their reliance on gay acceptance. Me in @queermajority.bsky.social: www.queermajority.com/essays-all/s...

I interviewed author @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social and reviewed his new sci-fi thriller "For Emma." A timely, gripping, and chilling read that takes AI, the crisis of meaning, and the erosion of free speech to their most horrifying logical conclusions. americandreaming.substack.com/p/this-machi...

To young people, it might seem like activism has always been performative, virtue-signaling bullshit. After all, it's been decades since activism has been an effective force.

The reaction online to the Israeli embassy murders across much of the Western pro-Palestine left underscores, for the millionth time, that the only difference between far-leftists and fascists is aesthetics. These are the same people but with different lingo and chic.

When no one has any principles and people's views are determined by blindly opposing the other side, reverse psychology becomes a political superpower waiting to happen. Political actors can destroy their opposition by cynically adopting opponents' ideas americandreaming.substack.com/p/reverse-ps...

I don't know why people think picking a model on ChatGPT is so complicated.

In 2015-16, it was a common belief among folks in the left half of society that the most appropriate response to Trump, Trumpism, right-wing populism, etc. was to mock, laugh at, and ridicule it. Sounded promising in theory. In practice, it just reinforced the perception of blue-team USA as arrogant
