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?

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...

Trying snow dying fabric today. When the revolution needs a crafter, I am ready to report for duty! #crossstitch #fabricdying #crafting #trumpacolypse
Happy stitch in public day from Kindergarten basketball

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.
A cross stitch on white aida. Two stylized brown rabbits are in the center of the piece, surrounded by the text "if they catch you they will kill you, but first they must catch you." A stylized border of red target shapes surrounds the text.
A cross stitch of a dart frog surrounded by the text "the world might be full of despair and broken promises but it is also full of brightly colored poisonous frogs." There is a stylized green border at the top and bottom.
I started cross-stitching because I wanted something tangible to hold my feelings.
These are the first two things I made. While I'm sort of terrified to look at the backs, seeing them is still a ward against despair.
Watership Down pattern is self-drafted; frog pattern is from Shitpost Sampler.
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
