Congratulations on the anniversary!<br /><br />Thank you for this post. It's the most hopeful, joy-filled thing I've ever read on the experience of moving in the world as queer-identified bi. I've been overwhelmed recently by the disheartening and the exhausting (very different life circumstances - I'm closeted now, which makes it all hard, but making a move and a bunch of changes in my life, but not fast enough as Library Jobhunts Take Forever) and just really, really needed to hear this.

Thank you for taking the time to comment and share your experience. I definitely hear you on the impulse to respond in less than helpful, yet oh so satisfying ways! <br /><br />One dynamic that I think is not talked about enough on the Internet is the way the already-marginalized labor to continue being respectful long beyond when the more privileged folks do, and then when they finally snap and rage are tone-policed almost immediately. We're expected to take the higher ground as the price for participation in many forums, and I think it's legitimate to snap an not remain "professional and reasonable" sometimes -- and not feel guilty for it!<br /><br />Anyway, I'm glad the post resonated and proved useful.annajcookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17573723390785613915noreply@blogger.com
