 Welcome to Online Bi+ Ireland Meetup - Bi+ Conversations on Friday 13th March at 5pm. For privacy reasons we ask you to fill out this form if you wish to participate. On the day, we will send you an email containing the link and password to join the meetup, if you don’t receive it by 12pm please pm us.
We invite you to join us for an open discussion of bi+ topics such as Bi+ representation in the media, bi+ erasure, the even more erased members of our community. Whether you have only recently discovered your bi+ ness or you have known you are panromantic for decades, we believe everyone in our community has a voice worthy to be heard. This event will happen slightly earlier in the day compared to our previous Zoom calls to allow for self-care afterwards for those that need it after engaging in potentially heavy topics. What to Expect from a Bi+ Ireland Zoom Whatever you feel most comfortable doing, is what you should be doing. This zoom, like all Bi+ Ireland events, is there for the enjoyment and comfort of our members and that means different things to different members but each is valid. Like always our meet-ups are open to all adults under the Bi+ Umbrella and their friends, partners, carers etc. If multiple people from the same household are participating, you could all, of course, join us on the one video call. First time going to a Bi+ Ireland Meetup? Not yet a member of our lovely online community group? Feel free to send us a message and our volunteers can add you to the group and look out for you on the day. For the purpose of this event, we will be hosting over Zoom. We will be using a paid version of Zoom so there is end-to-end encryption on the call. A link to the zoom meeting and its password will be sent on the day. You are not required to download Zoom onto any device as you can access the meeting through any web browser. Nor do you have to sign up to zoom. Important to Note

What is the Bi+ Ireland Book Club? This is a non-traditional book club. The aim is to have a monthly video call on the first Saturday of each month. Each month members will be invited to come on the call and talk about books, etc they have read that month or in the process of reading: even if you want to bring along an old favourite book. We can talk about the topic of the book, what we like about the book, dislike, would we recommend it? All from another a non-spoiler context unless the group on the day in question have no problem having spoilers. We can discuss whatever our reading habits happen to be: non-fiction, fiction, YA, Autistic books, fanfics, etc This method means people aren’t under pressure to buy or borrow a specific book. They aren’t under pressure to read a set amount in a month. They aren’t under pressure to read something they don’t like. We all get to widen our literary knowledge by hearing what others are reading. In between zooms we can talk books over at our discord.

Although all our meets are open to people who have never attended a Bi+ Ireland meeting, it was suggested to us that we should host an event specifically for easing in first time B+I zoomers or first-time B+I event attendees in general. Of course, our regular zoomers and all Bi+ Ireland peeps are allowed to join in. We will be having general chats and some getting to know you questions. But don’t worry: you are under no pressure to engage in the conversation once you are on the Zoom call.

During this zoom, we will be inviting people to share their top self-care tips. Self-care looks different for so many people. For some it's video games, for some it's drawing, for some, it's a hot bath, etc. The hope is by sharing self-care tips, then we may pick up new ones or remember old ones.

This year has definitely not been easy for anyone and we share all your grief, frustration and sadness. "We share". In these hard times, we have been together, and each day we made it through was a huge achievement that you really should be proud of. So, if you are reading this, that is 366 achievements, at least! Feel proud. Feel very proud! As we start 2021 in less than ideal conditions, we can just wish you loads of hope, that you are able to find joy in the small things, and that you celebrate every single success, no matter how small. Hopefully one day we will be able to celebrate all of them together in person, and we are totally looking forward to it!!! But as for now, we will keep being here, one way or another, celebrating each of your successes and supporting you from the other side of the screen. Thank you for doing the same for us Loads of love, Bi+ Ireland Volunteer Team [Image Description: Pale Pink, purple and blue swirled background with pink, purple and blue Bi+ Ireland text Logo on the top.

As you may also know next week is Trans Mental Health Week. Because of this, we are encouraging our trans members and volunteers, in particular, to engage in self-care. Self-care can be a difficult task for many people. Self-care can be a radical act, but it is a very important task. To respect the need for self-care in our trans members and volunteers, we have taken the decision not to host an event next week. Instead, we encourage people to support TENI programme of events. By not hosting a Bi+ Ireland event, we are allowing our trans volunteers to attend TENI events without any feeling of obligation to the Bi+ Ireland community. We hope you can all understand https://www.facebook.com/TransEquality/posts/3825631004127784  |
