Yay! It might have taken me nine months, but my first draft is finally finished.

(4/4) If you, or anyone you know, struggles with their gender identity, I cannot recommend this book enough.

Remember to keep fighting the other months of the year. It may always be a struggle. Stay strong. Always be your authentic self. But most importantly, be safe.

(3/4) It's been so helpful, so enlightening, and uplifting to read the many stories shared throughout this book about how people have discovered their authentic selves and the positivity of living lives that are fulfilling to them.

(2/4) There's so much I want to say, so much I want to share, but for now, I'll share the book I read this month.

It's called "Gender Euphoria" by Laura Kate Dale, and it's been sitting on my book shelf for far too long. I really wish I'd read this collection of essays sooner.

(1/4) I've debated all month about what I wanted to post for Pride Month this year, especially with so much negativity toward the LGBTQ+ Community and uncertainty in our country concerning our rights.

Pan Heart + Frog = One really cute sticker!

Happy Pride everyone!

Be safe.

Pentagon orders military to pull all library books on diversity It is the broadest and most detailed directive so far on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s campaign to rid the military of DEI policies and materials.

I'm so very tired of this.

Today’s round of BS was to remove our library’s DEI book collection display.

I never thought I’d see this day. Total, absolute BS.

I don’t think I’ll ever not be disappointed by the cluster fuck that was Monday or the next four years. Trans and Nonbinary friends, you are valid and no signed piece of paper will ever change that—You say who you are. We will get through this. Please stay safe.

No TikTok 😟, so I guess I’m going to listen to music and write 🙂.

Today’s letter of the day is “F”…followed by three other choice letters.
