I'm just wondering how I'm going to face the Ukrainian refugee in my class on Monday. 🙃 Add another page to the dystopia novel that is my journal.

Can't go grocery shopping without a 'Lil treat

I went to my first Queer Straight Alliance meeting at the school I teach at. The teacher was comforting their students and explaining what was legally happening to them.

I was invited to introduce myself, and I saw several light up as I said, "I use they/them pronouns because I am nonbinary" 🏳️‍🌈

This is one of my favorite books!! I first read it back in 2011, and it was life changing for me. The movie is also an amazing adaptation!!

To all the people who stop and think before meeting up with a chronically ill or disabled person, and let them know you/someone in your household isn’t feeling well, so they can cancel if they need to, THANK YOU.

We are SO sad to have to cancel, but so grateful to be protected. #disabilitysky

I remind myself every day that simply getting out of bed and going to my job of teaching children is an act of resistance as a disabled trans person 🏳️‍⚧️

Bert is my poor husband while Ernie is me asking about making more plans with our friends and family.

being disabled in 2025 is a revolutionary act.

I'm not arguing against its existence, I'm just repeating what my Christian theology teacher taught us at my religious college: its a cultural text like you said, but the stories in it are folklore, we struggle to antropoligically prove that these stories really happened.

Real as in existing, but still folklore not fact

Pairing Just Mercy with To Kill A Mockingbird is a brilliant choice. Brava 👏🏻

Me with Dragon Age Veilguard and all the homophobic/transphobic jerks that can't appreciate a great storyline

I broke my geometry teachers nose on stage during the school play

I have been revisiting my old writing from undergrad and I think I have a short story collection on my hands 👀📚 #booksky #writersky

It can feel reality shattering, losing relationships with siblings and parents, and seeing them make a complete 180 from the person they were 10 years ago 💔

Have you read the novel as well? It's different from the film, but both are exemplary stand alone pieces of media imo

This is a favorite of my husband's who is just getting into the horror genre as a reader 🥰

A Series of Unfortunate Events

I am on a memoir kick. Just finished "I am Malala" and "Into Thin Air" and almost done with "The Night Parade" 📚

You're welcome! I'm 1/2 way through my first read but it's a "speculative memoir" and if you're interested in indigenous japanese & Taiwanese folklore, it's a bonus!

Have you tried "The Night Parade" by Jami Lin Nakamura?

✌🏻 check out my article with Exchange Press "Pride in Gender Exploration from a Queer Educator"

Go to the library?

When wilt thou save the people?
O God of mercy when?
The people, Lord! The people!
Not thrones and crowns
But men!

Just found the digital copies of my first two original scripts from 2013 and 2015. Maybe it's time to rework some of this... 📚

Reading is political.

Reading has always been political.

Your favorite characters wouldn’t just sit by and watch. They’d get up and burn some shit to the ground.

Please write it 🙏🏻 even if one already exists

Kids don't always like it, but I'm a big fan of get up out of your seat and do some guided breathing and movement

I'm about halfway through Jami Lin Nakamura's "Night Parade" And it's one of the most fascinating #memoirs I've picked up yet. What kind of memoir writes in 2nd person? A speculative one, apparently! Give it a try #booksky
