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!

Iβm not saying someoneβs 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 itβs a terrifying and infuriating time to be in teacher education.

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, βOur grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.β
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 isnβt just uncouth or βcontroversialβ but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
