Sending @allienellie.bsky.social lots of love on her wedding day

Working as a contractor in schools is so difficult. With recent Iowa legislation, I have to be careful how outspoken I am in local spaces, or I could easily lose my contract. I just have to hope my trans students find me somewhere on the internet and know I love and support them, and show it quietly

Did not expect “all the conservative white Christian on the TL praising Kendrick’s performance” to be on the Super Bowl bingo card. Did they understand the message? Big no. But they apparently can get on board if he’s “standing up for the children” lol

I coach High School Speech, and I feel like right now is such an important time to teach students to critically analyze communication, use their voices, and have confidence in their identity. My kiddos SLAYYYEEDDD today at their tournament, and they’re great weirdos to boot!

“‘No.’ She tilted her chin up and pushed her shoulders back. She wasn’t less than him and she wouldn’t act as though she was. She wouldn’t be beaten into the belief that she was.” @analeighsbrana.bsky.social you ATE with this. CR: Lore of the Wilds #BookSky

The Trans Reading Group Discord is up and running! I'll be inviting everyone who wanted to join shortly, but if you didn't see my earlier post and would like an invite, don't hesitate to reach out! ❤️

Sorry if it's cringe or virtue signaling or whatever but unqualified and unconditional love and support to every trans person on earth. You will win and I will help you.

In the spirit of getting caught up on NetGalley, I’ve been reading through books that are overdue arcs that have already launched and I am SAD I didn’t read this earlier because it’s SO GOOD. @junodawson.bsky.social killed it and now I can read the next 3 books ✨ #BookSky

January was good to me because people gave me books 🥹 which is my love language! I only got to 8 books last month but had TWO five-star reads. Still v happy!! #booksky

This is a view of my driveway, with the walkway to my front door behind the car. Can anyone spot where FedEx thought it was okay to leave my package???

Also I got approved for TIDEBORN by @elizachanwrites.bsky.social and I’m SO EXCITED. Fathomfolk was so good and so unique and fresh and I’m gonna wait for a weekend where I can FOCUS on this beauty. I find I love just about everything @orbitbooks.bsky.social puts out.

Just gonna keep my head down and and keep working through my NetGalley overdue books... #BookSky

Here are 20 recommendations of Sci-fi/Fantasy books written by diverse authors to add to your TBR! #diversebooksky #sffbooks #Blackbooksky 📚🪐 💙

I know lots of people on the spectrum and none of them are “accidentally” throwing up Nazi salutes

Saw @fictionaldeanna.bsky.social recommended watching a Bug’s Life to offset the Bad Thing happening today and get you in a revolutionary mood and so that’s exactly what I’m gonna do.

New social media, so new people finding me, let’s make one thing abuuuuuundantly clear: I do not tolerate bigotry. I am queer, I am working to be anti-racist, I ride for disability rights, I support trans folks, I care about everyone’s right to be treated as a human being, bar none.

Are Sunday scaries even scarier tonight or is it just me?

introduce yourself with one book 📗 (ONE?!) one film 🎬 one album 💿 one show 📺

So, um, since there’s obviously nothing happening tomorrow, can we spend the day sharing our favorite books by authors who are queer, BIPOC, trans, disabled, and/or indie? I’ll start: 🪡 #BookSky

Okay #BookSky, moving some content over here, starting with the fact (not opinion, thanks) that Audiobook listening = reading, because we can leave ableism in 2024, yeah?

Ok #booksky, let’s talk. 👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books. 👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

Since I’ll use this account for all my things, I present to you: my January reading so far! I’m in the middle of “The Encyclopaedia of Faeries” and also “Queen B” (which isn’t even on this list oops) and hoping to get my overdue ARCs and new releases done before EOM!

Sooo I don’t think I’ll be downloading RedNote any time soon. I need to know a lot more first.
