The cover illustration of All That Consumes Us features two hands, one of which is a skeleton, holding a book. There is also ivy and cicadas.

My queer dark academia, All That Consumes Us, is on sale for $1.99 wherever you buy your ebooks.

I’d rec it for you if you like gothic lit, sapphic romance, found family, and ghosts! 👻

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

I lost my friend when I was 13 & there were not enough grief books when I needed them most. My hope is a child experiencing grief will have a wealth of choice for what they need. Thanks for sharing this.

Ohio teacher suspended for including four books with LGBTQ characters in her classroom library Karen Cahall has been a teacher in the New Richmond School District in Ohio for 34 years.

1. A teacher in Ohio who has worked at the same public school for 34 years was suspended without pay and threatened with termination for offering four books in her classroom library that contained LGBTQ characters.

She's fighting back.
