I miss being an activist...

*soft smile* Thank you for the kind words, good sir!

I think that, for me, it is less about confrontation-versus-nonconfrontational and more about the groups that are being served.

Working on Oxford BiFest took a lot of time and effort, so I certainly hope that it had a positive impact! Still, at the end of the day, the UK bi community is -- by and large -- a very privileged group. The work that I did as an activist was geared towards helping those far more disempowered... and it is that which I truly miss. See my comment below (http://anarchist-nomad.livejournal.com/313198.html?thread=3221102#t3221102), to [livejournal.com profile] artremis, for more detail, my friend.

I am, of course, always happy to discuss further with you... particularly if you can provide the fireplace or firepit for the fireside chat you suggest! That sounds like a particularly pleasant idea! :-D
