It’s officially happening! I’ll be leading a table in some garden-themed games. Here’s some of the beautiful art from Mycelia, a game all about cultivating and identifying mushrooms. 🍄 🍄‍🟫 🎲

Join for games, some QT company, and maybe even get the library (or yourself) a book while you’re there!

EMPLOYEE? EMPLOYEE!!

This was one of our lofty goals for last year's campaign and we did it!! 🥳🥳🥳
If you've been following along on the @qtlibrary.org journey (hi. we're building an LGBTQIA+ library. she's gorgeous.), you'll be pleased to learn that our first-ever paid employee starts on Monday.

AHHHHHHHH.

(a fun fact about dreams is: they can come true!)

The QT Library, an upcoming queer and trans library and community space I volunteer for, is still looking for anybody who wants to support this work that means the world to me!
🙏 You can support us as we cultivate a queer and trans community in Boston with events like these right now!

We're trying to raise $100K to get us one step closer to our dream space, and you can help us get there: secure.givelively.org/donate/92-39...

As we countdown to our end of year party, we fondly remember all the love we experienced at our celebration last year. ❄️

Games, crafts, a raffle, and great vibes really helped carry us through 2025 💜

RSVP to our Shelf-ebration this year and make more memories! https://loom.ly/wTnRbac

Are there queer and trans books that are strictly "Thanksgiving" in the way that "Addams Family Values" is a Thanksgiving movie? We have 3,000+ books but don't catalog them by holiday

Shout out to @qtlibrary.org in Boston (which doesn't have a physical space yet, but has been doing a lot of book and community programming in the interim) and @queerliblib.bsky.social online!
We can mitigate the harm of book bans by bringing those books into impacted communities in ways & spaces beyond the control of the book banners. Carabiner Collections is doing that work in Brazos County, TX. Maybe you can set something like that up in your neck of the woods.

#TransgenderAwarenessWeek is over, but it's always time for some trans books in your life. 🏳️‍⚧️

That's the idea we took into our virtual Trans YA Book Club. We've collected the books we've picked so far and put them into this handy post for you, along with some bonus recs.
November 21, 2025 at 2:06 PM
BIG NEWS. We reached the first $10K milestone. Thank you to everybody who helped us get there. We see you, we love you 💜
November 19, 2025 at 3:57 PM
UPDATE: We are in the middle of our annual campaign and are just $66 AWAY from reaching $10K raised. Those are real numbers!

You can help bring us one step closer to the LGBTQIA+ library and community space of our dreams with a donation of any size! secure.givelively.org/donate/92-39...

True story: without Heartstopper we wouldn't exist!
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"
