Got my copy of THE LUMINOUS FAIRIES & MOTHRA, the translated novella by Dr. Jeffrey Angles & @uminnpress.bsky.social! Writing a blurb (alongside @mattzilla85.bsky.social) & having my little nerd-show immortalized on the back cover of a book featuring my fave character is such a full-circle moment. ❤️

RIP Dr. Jane Goodall. I snapped this photo of my friend Liz & her back when we met her at Central Michigan University. I'm so grateful I got to share a moment with her because her kindness, curiosity, & fierce passion for conservation was unparalleled. ❤️

I recently got to do an academic talk (& poetry reading) about how American poet, Theodore Roethke, has influenced my work as a queer, nature poet. I also got to talk about my grandma, LGBTQ+ issues, & eco-activism. You can listen to it on my poetry YouTube channel!
