Does anyone have access to a list of companies/ERG’s I could pitch for Pride month? I would love to spend this Pride month talking to folks about the importance of loving (on) yourself in this hostile landscape and what advocacy beyond job descriptions should look like. Holla at me.

Missed Advocacy Day last year because of the book launch. This year, it felt good to be at the Capitol reminding politicians that queer kids need to be supported. Call your reps and tell them that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Got an email this evening from someone at Microsoft saying my presentation today was not only the best one their ERG has had, but it’s the most seen they’ve felt as a Black trans man. Sharing because someone needs to know this: YOU BEING YOU IS SAVING LIVES. KEEP DOING IT.

Woke up this morning to learn I landed ANOTHER WRITING RESIDENCY. Can’t say where yet, but it’s HUGE. Shout out to the white lady professor who told me I didn’t have the chops to be a writer in college. Wonder if I should send her a signed copy of my book…🥰

Me learning tonight that “Picked Poor Robin Clean” from “Sinners” is an African American blues/folk song about the hardship Black people had in the 1930’s - used in the film as a way to highlight the vampire(s) exploiting Sammie + cultural appropriation. RYAN COOGLER - YOUR MIND SIR!

Dr. Jon Paul (They/Them/Tired) @doctorjonpaul.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

Oh - I brought 30 books with me for FatCon and sold 23. Now go get yours!

Dr. Jon Paul (They/Them/Tired) @doctorjonpaul.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

I’ve been to a lot of conferences in my life and nothing has ever been as informative and rewarding as my time at @thefatcon. I will forever appreciate being in a space where I can just be.

Dr. Jon Paul (They/Them/Tired) @doctorjonpaul.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

Anytime I get to be in a space and talk about the joy that is my book, I am so honored to know somewhere an ancestor is smiling down on me because I am their dream. They may not see it for me, but the universe does. 🥰

Dr. Jon Paul (They/Them/Tired) @doctorjonpaul.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

The snubs we are seeing around “Sinners” is hella intentional - to discourage us/remind us of our place. Ain’t nothing worse than a white creative who believes you have the success they feel they deserve. It’s a direct message for us to not get comfy. Ain’t nobody changing my mind on that.
