    My fundraiser has changed to support me this first year of grad school as a crip/sick/mad queer 1st gen student. Financial aid doesn't go far enough & disability makes it real hard to find work. Also, CashApp to $aaminahshakur

    The queer community has been raising concerns about Pete since well before Iowa. Now that we’ve seen him declare victory without the votes being counted, we are more concerned than ever. Read our letter: RT if you’re with us

    Re-upping this. If you would like to support actual Black authors writing about actual Black characters during Black History Month, the replies to this tweet contain a whoooole lotta us.

    Frankly, if anything, monosexuality should be questioned more. What is queerer than being attracted to and/or loving a variety of genders???

    I legit just saw someone (seeming incredulous about it) ask if "queer" includes bisexual people. Um. Why are we still having this convo? YES, BISEXUAL PEOPLE ARE UNDER THE QUEER UMBRELLA.

    They could have Googled, chosen a dozen books by actual Black authors that are classics & sent those out with fresh covers & a big event. Add in bringing in contemporary Black authors to discuss these works & the whole thing is a win. They didn't do the easy or logical thing.

    I keep coming back to this & the decision to erase Black classic lit from a Black history month celebration. In New York. Where the Harlem Renaissance happened. Fun fact they could have rereleased a bunch of those books with new covers & gotten excellent sales & press.

    University: I would like to hear your thoughts on how best to reform current practices... Me: What is the compensation for this work?

    Today, I talked to a friend who is an Uber driver who has become so deeply depressed. He works all the time & feels like he’s losing his mind. “This is not life,” he said. Precarious, underpaid gig work is not just an economic problem, it is a major public health issue.

    Like a true fascist dictator, Trump has just expanded the Muslim ban to include Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Sudan and Tanzania. Like a truly fascist country, it’s barely news.

    I’m thrilled to announce that Temple University gave my only class to a full-timer. I found out from a student 2 weeks before the semester & the university refused to pay me. I taught there for 14 years.

    Good Morning. I'm triggered by cis people asking me when I knew I first realized I was trans. Right now I'm processing why it disturbs me so much but it has something to do with the defaulting of cisness & the cis gaze. Cis people never have to answer to realizing their cisness.

    My grandmother's family died in gas chambers, because the US government limited the number of refugees it was accepting from Europe for fear that they'd be a burden on public resources. Happy from the US Government 🙃

    Black women don't owe anyone shit. If you're not Black leave Michelle alone. Leave Meghan alone. Let them live.

    I’m a queer Mexican American writer who has a forthcoming memoir which does not spectacularize the border nor speaks on behalf of my father’s border crossing & unapologetically calls out US exceptionalism & the white gaze. In case you are looking for such a book & not others!

    Imagine being Baby Yoda’s caretaker. Would you punish or shame him for using the Force? When he starts to speak, would you put him in classes to ‘correct’ his habit of getting his words out of order? Let Baby Yoda be Baby Yoda. And let autistic kids be autistic kids.

    And hey, don't be a jackass. This is common usage online to denote sarcasm, and neurodivergent people have advocated for it. Shit, just listen to us & do simple things to be less offensive. That someone just told me they've never seen it so refuse to use it is... just... fuck off

    Reminder: Just because you have a playful relationship w/ someone on Twitter doesn't protect you from others seeing your tweets that sound offensive and... being rightfully offended by the harm they perpetuate. Use /s at end of tweets to denote sarcasm & save us all the stress.

    I want to reiterate, the curator in question is a lovely person I have great respect for. The work she is doing is so important, and she is herself from (at least one, visible) underrepresented community. It's a systems issue - & I am in the same system & know who is behind it.
