I am SO EXCITED to read the final Witchlands book and thankful Susan Dennard has this before I dive in

Today my gaybor and I accidentally matched on campus 🎉🏳️‍⚧️

Happy pub day to my 19th book, ARE YOU A FRIEND OF DOROTHY, ill. Levi Hastings. It's about the distant past when queer people came up with creative ways to talk about and express ourselves in order to avoid street violence and state surveillance. May it become irrelevant speedily and within our days

Pride Puppy is a fabulous book! I read it to my kids kindergarten class because it is 100% appropriate for that age & they (& the teacher, & principal) loved it!

Talking about preparing future ELA teachers to deal with book challenges at #aera25 today

I’m not saying someone’s so pressed I was on the cover of Teen Vogue that they started posting a bunch of misinformation about trans ppl- no wait, I am. I am saying that

One of many examples of why it’s a terrifying and infuriating time to be in teacher education.

In related news who outside of the US wants to hire me?

FREEDOM TO FLY: Take Action to Protect Trans Passport Access | A4TE The U.S. Department of State has opened public comment periods on three important passport applications, and we must flood all three with our opposition to anti-trans changes before it's too late.

When I moved to Canada from the U.S., I took it for granted that I could get back relatively easily. Because I'm trans, Trump is making it more difficult to see my friends and family. Please take 10 minutes to speak out against his anti-trans passport policy here: transequality.org/news/freedom...

Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students.

This is how you refuse to comply.

Some of my latest #stitchtherapy is test stitching my Camels Hump pattern, to be gifted to my work wife.

It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.”

University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Current or future birth-12 educators, in need of a summer course? Take my asynch online Queer Studies in Education course. Create practical materials informed by queer theory! I had a blast teaching it last summer, join me!
