hey friends <3

as some of you may know, i’ve recently accepted a place at a M.Sc program abroad. yay!!

this program will not only provide me with a degree, but also much-needed physical distance from abusive family members. while schooling fees are less expensive than in the us, foreign schools are not eligible for FAFSA (or other loans), i will be unable to work due to visa restrictions, + other costs associated with international moves & grad school (i.e. desperately need a functioning laptop & mobile).

if you’d like to support a queer political theorist, my k o f i is linked here. thank you! 💖

i’ve recently learned that i need to have surgery this summer that will require my taking time off for 1-2 weeks without pay from both jobs. i would put the surgery off as two weeks without pay is not something I can really afford but unfortunately i will continue to get worse without it, so here we are. my commissions are open & i’m also cleaning out my library if you’d like some art in return for your generosity 💕

“Authors should not be ALLOWED to write about–” you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative

“This book should be taken off of shelves for featuring–” you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative

“Schools shouldn’t teach this book in class because–” you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative

“Nobody actually likes or wants to read classics because they’re–” you are an anti-intellectual and an idiot

“I only read YA fantasy books because every classic novel or work of literary fiction is problematic and features–” you are an anti-intellectual and you are robbing yourself of the full richness of the human experience.

I think everyone needs to start posting about how many people have been coming out in solidarity with trans people everywhere in the US especially in vulnerable states, because I’m really touched by what happened at the University of Iowa. These kids shut it down because it’s not just a youtube bigot on their campus it’s so much bigger than that! This is huge

People ARE coming out and packing courthouses and protesting on campuses and in the middle of your town and city in defense of trans people in great numbers. Very few people attended this loser’s speech and were publicly shamed for it. There are literally more of us than there are of them and I think we need to keep saying that
