The mantra of “do it for the kids. Do it for the marginalized in this community and fight the good fight” can only get me so far. I need a week off so bad but I get so little time off a year

I am sitting here plagued by children’s songs stuck in my head. I fear putting literally anything on social media rn for fear of dox/xing. I’m in such a red area I fear. In the closet but dressing queer has already warned me stares and dirty looks. I drive past a magat sign to work. orz

The level of spiritually tired I am is startling. I now understand how the burnout rates for public librarians is what it is. Boss asked us all for wishlists and literally at the top of mine is HIRE ME AN ASSISTANT. I am running this department alone and hoo boy. Oh boy. Hoo man. Help.

alphinaud is not a coward because he stepped onto a garlemald warship with nothing but a vague ambassadorship to protect him just to forge peace between nations but I do think he has the energy of a boy who will not get a drink of water at night because five nights at freddys is at the fridge

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I write because I love writing. I love writing even when I'm struggling with a writing problem that is killing me. Finding a way through that problem is both intensely rewarding and also helps me become a better writer. There is no reason for me to ever outsource that.

happy international lesbian day

Happy lesbian day to all lesbians and those stuck single and in the closet beside me. We will escape someday comrades

Survived a two day crash out while zoinked out on the Covid/flu vax and cutting my hand on broken glass that sent me to the er. Ready to go back to work tomorrow like nothing happened
