When I was young, I didn't know what #bisexual meant—thought I was a broken straight.
I want people to see me and know that being bi+ doesn't have a damn thing to do with your ability to love as you will, including the possibility of being in an awesome relationship like the one I've had for over twenty years.
I want some young bisexual to know that and not beat themselves up for decades. I want them to love themselves. ❤️

Sometimes I think other countries must get a really distorted picture of the US from the weird products that are manufactured there for us.
Other times I think they get a pretty accurate one.
"The Unicode model departs from the ordinary way that Khmer is conceived of and taught to
native Khmer speakers. Consequently, the encoding may not be intuitive to a native user of
the Khmer writing system, although it is able to represent Khmer correctly."

My rules of biking are:
Nobody who drives a car can see me.
Anyone who does see me is trying to harm me.
Anyone who isn't trying to harm me doesn't know how to coexist with cyclists and will make poor decisions about right-of-way that put me in dangerous situations.
