Oisín Rowe writes about faith, fear, and the hope that Christian community can offer trans people safety and belonging.
The Church Can Offer Trans Refuge From Bad Theology and Bad Legislation
Many Christians have been on the wrong side of the war on transgender people. But they don't have to stay there.

"Once I was
home to a little ant, he swallowed
my bones. Built a little city. More
crawled in. They made me warm
in winter. Little curling
creatures. I said, soak more
from soil, make each splinter
firmer. My god we grow."

I love asking people about their microjoys. Tell me about that coffee that was just enough sweet, a good hair day, using your favorite ballpoint pen.

My newest collection is almost here! Here's a sample poem from Big Money Porno Mommy. Please consider pre-ordering at the link below to support me and @gameoverbooks.bsky.social if you can! Or share! Thank youuu
www.gameoverbooks.com/store/p/big-...
a book cover with balloon text with fleshy skin-like texture reads "big money porno mommy". the letters are squished together like fat rolls and there are details such as a thumbnail, moles, a bellybutton, and a tuft of hair growing from the words. in plain orange text below it reads "poems" and below that it reads "catherine weiss". the background is a bright orange to pink gradient. black text of poem on white background. text reads: BULLY when my husband says it’s because i’m a good person that i let you in again i want to tell him he doesn’t understand me like you do. all the monsters under my bed are just men doing their best. i can sense your disappointment. your life is shitty but so is your letter to the editor. no, you can’t reject a rejection. there is no story of us. i know you loved to hurt me. i can see you’re still trying. maybe you’re right. maybe once our sorrows touched elbows. but i’m better now. happier than you—you, moth caught in a rainstorm, instrument of misery. i don’t want to know you anymore because you’re mean, soft-mean. a loud cat in an empty house, the obvious twist to a book i’ve long since put down.

Are you an autistic college student studying to become a teacher? I'm an autistic researcher looking for participants for interviews and focus groups! See the attached poster and email me at hinsonwi@bc.edu! #neurodiversity #actuallyautistic
Research participants needed! Are you an autistic college student studying education? I'm an autistic researcher seeking participants for a study about the experiences of autistic students in teacher education programs. What's involved? Completing at least two 90 minute interviews through your preferred communication method. Attending at least one virtual focus group with other autistic pre-service teachers. Completing a brief demographic survey. All interviews and focus groups will be conducted flexibly based on your communication preferences and needs. Who can participate? You may be eligible if you: are a college student (undergrad or grad) enrolled in a teacher education program. If you're completed or are currently enrolled in a field experience (ex. pre-prac, practicum). You identify as autistic (formally diagnosed or self-identified). Are 18 or older. Additional information: Participants will be compensated at $30/hr for their time. Participants with additional marginalized identities, including nonspeaking individuals and AAC users, are especially encouraged to participate. Want more information? Contact Jessica Hinson-Williams at hinsonwi@bc.edu using your college/university email address. This project is supported by a grant from AIR-P and is approved by the Boston College Institutional Review Board (#25.026.01e-1).
