BiCon comes to Nottingham this Friday!

It's a masking-friendly, though not mask-required, event, in a venue which is said to be pretty good for air quality.

There's also an online-only option, which I went to myself last year when the in-person side wasn't in Nottingham. We had a nice little group being companionable on the Zoom, with some of the in-person sessions running as hybrid.

You don't have to be bi to go - just bi-friendly and trans-inclusive. Typically it does include some non-bi people who just like the vibes :-)

Sliding-scale admission prices:
- in-person weekend tickets £65 down to £20
- in-person day tickets £40 down to £10
- online weekend tickets £20 down to £4.

Venue this year is two of the buildings belonging to the girls' high school, in between the Forest and the Arboretum. Nearest tram stop is High School. Nearest bus lines are brown, green, yellow, and purple.

There's usually a variety of session options in the day: some talky and some not; some bi-themed, some unrelated. In the evenings there'll be social space. Some people will go and march as a group in Notts Pride on the Saturday. I'm going to host an online pre-meet on the Wednesday evening.

Myself I've booked for the weekend, but in reality I might only make it to the online-Wednesday-pre-meet and the Friday, esp if I do go to Notts Pride on the Saturday. I might be all used up by Saturday night. (Even pre-covid I might've run out of steam by then :-) ) But if I didn't come in on the Sunday, I probably would still join in at least a little bit online.

More below on what I'm planning to contribute!

Feel free to ping me if you have questions :-)

tl;dr: One small but important thing you can do to fight capitalism in the US is to use a credit union instead of a bank.

Banks exist to make money for their shareholders. They're businesses. They literally do not care about you except as a way to make money.

Credit unions are non-profit financial cooperatives that are member owned and operated. They exist to provide financial services to their members. That is: they exist to help you.

sorry everyone, my third wish from the genie was to make the world's electrical standards weirder.

south america is now using 70hz 40v AC, france & belgium are strictly DC outlets (no AC), and apple products are all on 3.3v USB. AA batteries are now 9v, and 9v batteries are still called that but they provide 6v.
