Happy Trans Day of Visibility from Dublin, Ireland. Front of Arnotts Department Store, located on Henry St in Dublin. Various flags adorn the front of the store, just above the front entrance overhang, including the LGBTQIA+ flag. To the left of the building's facade, looking down the path, is the Spire of Dublin.

Super excited that this amazing book is finally available for preorder. It was written by over 50 Indigenous Peoples from around the world and contains stories, poetry, and critical thought pieces on how TEK is used and extracted from our communities and what folks are doing to protect it.
