Queer authors are expected to do what amounts to volunteer social work, right out of the gate. But did you know trans people, especially autistic trans people, statistically are underfunded? If you love trans folks? Fund their emotional labor. Pay often & plenty. 🫡

A VERY NICE THING concerned cis/het allies can do to support schools, trans students, and queer authors is: 1) find a local librarian/teacher to host an author visit 2) act as liaison & connect them with a queer author, either local or virtually 3) PAY THAT AUTHOR YOURSELF.

Do you know of anyone currently looking for That Guy, so we can connect them? Feel free to DM for their email or resume! I've never met anyone who hits the sweet spot between being so capable, creative, and detail-oriented-- someone seriously needs to snap them up.

I hate this app, but since ppl are slowly transitioning, an ask: I have a queer friend who's an incredibly savvy and gifted social media and branding manager who's in urgent need of work with benefits and ready to hit the ground running! 🧵

Rarely, RARELY ever here, and I know a lot of folks are finally jumping ship--if you wanna chat, sprint, or follow, adding "books" to the end of my name is a good way to find me most places. Come find me! 🫶

This put a (good) lump in my throat--on the intersection of queerness and rural living, through the lens of middle-grade literature, with examination of my book, The Beautiful Something Else. <3 rural.vt.edu/2024/09/23/get…

A very happy launch day to @heedgmon's middle grade debut, The Flicker!! This book is a much-needed injection of honesty and hope in difficult times, and one parents, #librarians, & teachers should get into kids' hands.🖤 @ashvanotterloo/video/7417922229540752683?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7405315091018778143" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tiktok.com/@ashvanotterlo

I enjoyed this podcast chat so thoroughly! 💜 Tricia's work in unpacking thoughtful topics for teacher allies with guests is *phenomenal*, and here we chat about empathy and honoring queer students with diverse nervous systems! #actuallyautistic 🏳️‍⚧️
