Congratulations to @jameyj.bsky.social for successfully defending her doctoral dissertation "Re-Storying Indigenous Trans Women in the Colonial Pacific Northwest, 1814-1895" yesterday. She brought everyone to tears with her amazing archival work and loving recuperation of her subjects' lives. Brava!

If you're someone who like a hard copy, but you've been holding off because of the price, I'm happy to say that my book is being paperbacked at the end of the month and it's available to preorder now!
