A great discussion of what it means to be queer, and the dangers of the “normal gay” assimilationist trend.

I’m hosting another game night for @qtlibrary.org at Pandemonium Books and Games this Friday, April 10. The theme: Friendship is Magic 🪄 with all cooperative games. I’d love to see you there! Sign up here: www.eventbrite.com/e/friendship...

In recognition of 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️, here’s the @qtlibrary.org book recommendations list, which I along with some fellow colleagues on the Collections team helped assemble!

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism of any kind, but in this case, it is nearly quite literally the least you can do if you claim to care about trans people.

Off to #PAXEast for some tabletop fun with my sister-in-law!

Drop a movie that traumatized you as a kid

If you are a trans, nonbinary, or genderqueer/gender non-conforming person living in MA, this is an opportunity to share your story with someone who represents us in Washington, and hopefully be heard.

Ho studiato l’italiano per mille giorni! 🇮🇹

When I saw this headline, I thought “Do people not understand basic Newtonian physics vis-à-vis seasons?” And then I thought, horrified, “Of course people don’t understand basic Newtonian physics.”

Usually, I stand pretty united with my senators and congresswoman. In the case of COPPA 2.0, however, I cannot. The potential harm to LGBTQ+ youth, especially in this environment and under this administration, outweighs the potential benefits. @pressley.house.gov, please take care of our queer kids.

I’m a real bear now!

It’s things like this that make my work at @qtlibrary.org all the more essential in times like these. (Hat tip to @hessephillips.com for the heads up.)

#NASA just released some images from the #JWST of the Cranium Nebula. Absolutely stunning!

It’s not just young people.

I mean, I know I’m up late, but the snow blowing across the street at 1:30am is a bridge too far even for me.

My sister-in-law is dancing in a charity event "Dancing with the Doctors" to benefit OpenDoor Health, Rhode Island's LGBTQ+ health center. She's making history, being part of the first same-sex couple to dance in the event (to Pink Pony Club! 🌈). We'd both appreciate your vote ($10 = 1 vote). #lgbtq

Post an image you can hear

I’m tired of seeing Republicans with buyer’s remorse lament about “why we can’t return to the good old days of Reagan,” when our current predicament is a direct result of Reagan’s choices and political alliances. We have reached the stoney end of the road he started us down, and you are to blame.

1/🧵 Many other people can speak more eloquently about the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s life and work, but I think it’s important to note that he was an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights long before it was a mainstream Democratic party platform. He understood that civil rights are civil rights for all of us, and

“Tulips for spring? Groundbreaking.”

Just a reminder, if you’re still on X, you are actively supporting white supremacists. (If you’re still on Meta, you’re tacitly supporting the fascist surveillance state, but that one’s a little less cut-and-dried.)

Favorite line from tonight’s #criticalrole: “This is your bannermen making a fuck-castle.” Thanks for the well-needed laugh, @aabria.bsky.social!

160 years ago today, Gregor Mendel presented his paper describing his research into the inheritance of traits in pea plants. The importance of his work wouldn’t be realized for almost 40 years. Now, there is a fabulous board game based on his studies. Who doesn’t love a game with Punnett squares?

Hi, a small note from your local LGBTQIA+ library 💜

It is a single degree out. 1°. Fahrenheit, so that’s –17° for the rest of the world that has switched to a modern, sensical measurement system. DO. NOT. WANT. (Seriously, though, be safe out there, people.)

A true honor to be spotlighted by @bookriot.bsky.social in this breakdown of how to protect the right to read through the Horrors. We're only screaming a little. 😱💜 But seriously, there are a lot of great ideas here. Read the full thing! https://loom.ly/HJbyi7A

Yourself, but as a cartoon

This includes you, #glennagoldis.

The energy I bring to Bluesky

I designed and printed a 3D-printed insert for the game Darwin’s Journey and all available expansions. I’m quite proud to have fit everything in the base box! #boardgameinsert #thundergryph Find it here: www.printables.com/model/156219...

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you joy and happiness.

ITMFA. He is a danger to the country and the world, and has broken national and international law time and again without consequence. @pressley.house.gov @warren.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov

Why are you gay?

A holiday message from all of us to all of you. ❄️

And now for something completely different: if you’re playing Salmon Run in Splatoon 3, use your goddamn specials. There’s no bonus points for saving them. #splatoon3 #gamerproblems

In memory of Carl Sagan, who left us 29 years ago today, The Pale Blue Dot. A good reminder to recenter one's perspective.

If you see this, we IMPLORE you to post a picture from whatever device you’re using without explanation.

My Christmas tree! Can you spot the @qtlibrary.org ornament I 3D printed myself? (If you want one, send me a DM!)

🌱 Today is the FINAL DAY of our annual campaign! If you can give, your support will help us achieve our dream to — drumroll, please — open a pop-up in summer 2026! YOU can join us in making our dream an on-the-ground reality. #BookSky, let's see if we can get to $25K! https://loom.ly/mQH2k_0

It’s past time to ditch Facebook, Insta, and WhatsApp. I know many of you are in the choir already as I preach this (seeing as you’re here), but beyond allowing hate speech against us to go unchallenged, Meta now shadowbans or outright shut down accounts that share our histories and our stories.

"When someone reads a book and sees a character who looks like them, loves like them, and lives a full vibrant life, that isn't just entertainment — it is permission. It is a mirror that says, "You are real, you have a lineage, and you belong here." 👏👏 ~ QT Library board member Jen Sarduy

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Even though I can’t make it, Boston folks should go hang with some of the coolest and kindest people I know — the @qtlibrary.org is having an end of year celebration at More Than Words. I’m sorry to my fellow QTs that I will miss it!

Perhaps someone should remind @gavinnewsom.bsky.social that taxing the rich is probably preferable to him than beheading them. People have had enough.

Um, Pantone, I think it’s a little tone deaf for the color of 2026 to be white. (It’s technically “Cloud Dancer”, but really Pantone?) #pantone #coloroftheyear #whyitgottabewhite
