Trying to make sense of the ways we organize and show up for this work.

#academicsky #highered

Interact with/view certain community spaces and profiles of those I have lost.
Any similar feelings? Any suggestions?

#grief #queergrief

Beyond the scope of many other resources/bring attention to them?
Thinking of those who are elderly, in rural areas, disabled, in mourning, etc.
I know that there's many other resources and platforms that people are actively embracing, however I find so much grief in not being able to (2/3)

Although it's hard for me to see or feel all the time, I think that's part of the process. We aren't meant to. But somehow, when I am unable to, other people are. And that alone brings me hope.

However, in spite and despite of this, I continue to do this work, dream, and build community with those in and out of higher education. I'm so grateful to the dreamers, activists, possibility models, grassroot organizers, and friends who have shown me (us) that different futures are possible.

As someone who has been an independent scholar and activist over the past year, doing service industry and gig work, primarily for survival, but also due to egregious policies and climate, it has been difficult to find and maintain hope for our field and collective futures.

Adding to my list to read! Thanks for sharing!

Have so much fun!!

I've heard that happening a lot more to both professors and student affair professionals, even when posting on their personal pages. Its blatantly egregious.

We all hold a responsibility to do this work and enact these policies and practices.

Please don't let this be your last stop in actualizing the work, but a step in the journey towards collective liberation and equity in our campuses and beyond.

#AcademicChatter #LGBTQCentersSaveLives

Our discussion today stressed that supporting trans & nonbinary people isn't just the work of resource centers, but it *must* be everyone's responsibility.

As centers close and continue to face closure, we must ask: Who will do this work when we can't?

In 2014 the Consortium released the original document focused on students. A decade later, the updated document expands to include faculty & staff. As project manager for this document, I see it as both a labor of love & a crucial call to action.

I'd love to be added to this! Thank you for creating this space!

Now more than ever this work and these conversations must happen, and I hope you can join in on Monday 💜

Not only do I get to see some mentors and colleagues who have been instrumental to me, but I have the honor of co-leading a vital conversation on a report I helped manage with the Consortium: Supporting Trans and Nonbinary Populations in Higher Education.
