The Resistance is READING.♡

I have one mission: to save books, art, and knowledge from censorship.

I'm creating secret physical repositories of books & other media at risk of being banned or even criminalized.
I read "Nobody Needs to Know" by Pidgeon Pagonis recently. I cried, I laughed, I *felt feelings* that needed to be felt. It is an honest, deeply necessary memoir about being intersex, and about being human.

This book will be banned. They want to silence intersex voices.

When we read, we resist.

I read "Tweakerworld: A Memoir" by Jason Yamas in my Paris hotel room. I could not put it down. Scandalous? Yes. Polarizing? Yes. Life affirming? Yes.

This book will be banned. They want to silence queer voices, and erase queer identities.

We must be the memory keepers, even if forced underground.
