First real shower at home, after a surgery. Amazing

Check out my list on Amazon

If you’re able to shop my Amazon list, I’d be so grateful!
(I avoid shopping here as much as I can but for equipping a full classroom- it is the easiest)

Sorry I’ve been absent for so long!
Application season for teaching jobs is no joke.
But- I got my dream position!

Summer will be reading books and classroom prep

Full on eugenics.

Reminder disabled people exist in ALL social groups— this is aimed at eradicating us too.

“… [CBO] estimates 13.7 million people will lose health coverage. LGBTQ+ people — especially those living with HIV, people of color, and low-income families — are among the hardest hit.”

NEW: In a heartbreaking declaration, a gay Guatemalan man ("OCG") tells a federal judge about his tortured life in hiding since DHS unlawfully deported him to Mexico without a reasonable-fear interview (he's now in Guatemala). storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

19 working days left to this school year.

Please consider downloading it, if only to make me feel better 🥺 it literally doesn't cost you a thing. books2read.com/b/luridalr 🖋️📚

That sounds so fun!!!!

legal hrt is getting squashed out this year, full stop. try to get your cis friends to understand this is genocidal in intent. people will die and they know it and they want it and these orgs are willing to allow that so they can continue to operate as sycophants.

A floral fantasy background. The words “book review” overlapped and the cover of A fellowship of Bakers and Magic on top

This was the cutest read!
Only took me about 2.5 hours to read. Found it to be a great palate cleanser reading wise.
Cute cozy found family fantasy!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

A photo of an exterior wall with the words “trans is divine” written on it and a blurb of my opinion on the book. “A 6 star read! What an incredible and addictive read. This book examines community, womanhood, patriarchy, oppression, trans identity and so much more.”

A trans flag hanging in a window and the shadow of a house plant against it. Over lapping are 3 quotes I found impactful from the book. “To be more oneself, she realizes now, can be seen as a great violence by anyone who thinks they understand how the world works. Or how you work.” “You are a promise you make to yourself. It’s called woodworking.” “…her body was not a tomb to die in but a foundation to build upon.”
