I am not in this book, but, I am pumped to read it. And not just because my Y'all Means All photo is on the cover!

Fancy cover. I love it!

Writing is an act of rebellion. Writing is an act of creation. Writing is an act of salvation. Writing is an act of exploration. Writing is an act of emotion. Writing is an act of confession. Writing is an act of speculation. Writing is an act of reflection. Keep writing.

happy Saturday, folx. 💛

a few moments of thanks.

I took the liberty of creating this new LGBTQ Health Research Starter Pack as I’m seeing so many scholars who dedicated to promoting LGBTQ health equity and research are navigating this new space. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Please feel free to repost, join, include, and forward it your network! go.bsky.app/BYe3E4V

Good morning, I'm trans. I'm ignoring news about who thinks trans people deserve rights & bodily autonomy. I'm focusing on being out & supporting trans ppl in my communities. Here's a list of resources, I forget who made it initially (sorry!) but it looks good. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

In case you didn’t check it off on your #2024bingocard here’s Mary Sanderson doing Celine Dion! You’re welcome. #dragqueen #dragartist #laughalready #queerarts #dragisnotacrime #hocuspocus

This could be interesting for some #Edusky educators.

So excited to see this in the world & so proud to be in it!

There are now so many starter packs, I need a starter pack of the best starter packs! ✨ I've found the following packs super helpful to find others interested in: #LGBTQ #data #tech #queer #research go.bsky.app/Ke4Ctey go.bsky.app/PPxKRh9 go.bsky.app/mmGK19 go.bsky.app/BFc4wgf go.bsky.app/Cw9bRYZ

Bluesky academics, let’s get to know each other! Quote & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren’t working on but keep thinking about. 1) Community activism for rural Queer youth & rural drag pedagogy. 2) Identity/policy negotiations rooted in place and Queerness💛
