Being a late in life bi means figuring out a lot about yourself in retrospect.
Last night's revelation: my near obsessive interest in Hayley Mills as a young person may not have been entirely platonic.
Photo of Hayley Mills, film actor, with her cropped blonde hair, Pearl earrings, looking sideways at the camera. She's wearing a white sleeveless shirt, a pearl necklace, and a plaid skirt.

Or bring a student to a queer prom. #howIgotfired
A black and white photo of a white woman standing next to a chalkboard that says "Teacher is a f*g". The text reads: you didn't have to be gay to be fired, you just have to record an unpopular opinion, wear the wrong clothes, have a student angry at you, hug a fellow teacher, defend a gay friend, hug a student, speak out on human rights, the list is endless"

Both, probably.

When I came out at my UU Church like 6 years ago:
Three people in Spider-Man uniforms all point at each other, each one with a pink, purple, and blue bisexual pride flag on their chest.

Welcome to Bluesky, friends! I'm glad to have more company here. I'm adding an image that made me happy today. Feel free to add one of your faves in the comments.

Classroom pics, it's set up and ready!
A classroom with a large window, prominent rainbow flag, bookshelves, and a cluster of teal tables in the center. A coffee pot with large googly eyes taped to it, a tub of Folgers coffee, a light green basket with cider in it, and a placement that says bin appetit and has silverware pictured on it. A TV screen on the left, a shelf full of food, a teacher's desk with a bi pride flag displayed behind it, and more teal tables in the center.

This book, y'all. Incredible. As a later-in-life bi, this book made me feel so seen! I mean, this kid is figuring herself out at 18, but it feels late to her and she struggles with a lot of biphobic discourse and internalized biphobia that I found highly relatable. But so sweet! 10/10
Cover of a book titled Imogen, Obviously by Becky Albertalli. It has a hand drawn image of a white girl with medium length brown hair and blue eyes smirking a bit with a college campus in the background.

I am the goddamned cutest elf you ever did see
A white, middle aged woman with pink hair looks pertly at the camera. She's wearing a checkered brown vest, a pink rose crown, light pink glasses, and elf ears.

Black, white, and pink. Cute AF.
A middle aged white woman is showing off her short, asymmetrical pink hair, pink ear cuff, and single hot pink dangle earring against a lace curtain background. She's wearing glasses and a hearing aid.

Sea turtles are extremely my jam. I don't care if that makes me a basic hippie bitch.
A sea turtle swims by at an aquarium. It's bottom side is light yellow and it's fins are pushing it forward. It looks serene.
