Visited the Magna Carta in London a document famous for establishing that no one (even a King) is above the Law. This Memorial Day, the United States deeply needs this reminder as we struggle with our own want-to-be King. We the people have repeatedly overthrown monarchs, dictators, fascists & Nazis

Spring flowers are blooming over my last month working in Cleveland. Thanks for almost a decade of precious memories!

Tomorrow will be busy but fun! Guest lecturing on trans literature in the morning. Then a reporter doing a profile on me will be following me around as I teach my own courses. Let’s do this 😅

Enormously proud of everyone who organized and participated in the Pr/Emo (Pre/Early Modern) Trans Conference 2025! I wish I could go back 10 years to tell a younger me about all the people lifting one another up and fighting oppression! There is so much more work to do but yall give me hope!

At the Pr/Emo Trans Symposium I was asked: What Do I Want from Pre and Early Modern Trans Studies during this moment of history?

My Answer: “Antimatter for the Master Plan, Louder Than God’s Revolver and Twice as Shiny!”

Real Answer: “Jobs.”

Divorce Update: All Parties have NOW signed all the Judgment of Divorce paperwork. This resolves the prolonged process of separation and negotiation.

We will do what we must to survive. Some will fight. Some will flee, go no contact. Some will freeze, choosing no side or fidelity. Still others will fawn, kissing rings to avoid being hit by them

We cannot save everyone. But we can at least preserve our sense of humanity amidst dehumanizing hatred

America went back to her abusive, narcissistic Ex. The cycle was not broken. You accept the love you think you deserve, I guess.

Many of us will just have to be that friend, answering late night phone calls, icing black eyes, telling her over and over again, “girl, you deserve better.”

The State of Ohio (where I live) has passed a Transgender Bathroom Ban. This law covers all schools, including Universities (where I work). Trans people are barred from using facilities that align with their gender identities. Talked with my lawyers and students. Getting ready for civil disobedience
