But I tweeted:
#ivolunteer with projects working on issues around #bisexuality like @BiPhoria @BiCommunityNews as they're things I needed when coming out

I could have named more projects and expanded on the theme a little but, y'know, 140 characters and all that. I prefer "bi volunteering" to "bi activism" as a phrase at the moment. It sounds a bit more... accessible? Anyone can be a volunteer, but activists must have sekrit superpowers.
The main lesson I've learned on volunteeringy activist doodah was from Natalya, whose wisdom is that you should do the volunteering that you enjoy and find least taxing. It is the one you are most likely to still want to do when doing it involves the equivalent of standing in the sleet at a bus stop on an evening in January when you could be warm and dry at home.
What bi volunteering would you like to do?
