This a very timely reminder that in 2019 during Trump Administration 1.0, I presented a paper at Ithaca College about why queer historical romance is so important. I have the whole paper/presentation on my website if you'd like some more reasons as to why queer romance is so important now and always

Listening to this podcast chat about @isaac-fellman.bsky.social 's genius in Notes from a Regicide just reminds me how this is one of my favorite books of all time and I get to teach it tomorrow. I cannot tell you how amazing this book is, you have GOT to read it. It's stuck in my bones.

Three years ago, we left Omaha. It turned into a story about forced migration, queer fear and resilience, and the shittiness of breaking your foot while you’re trying to move. I am very grateful that Minnesota welcomed us. This story has a happy ending. reactormag.com/this-is-not-...

Sometimes I read through those spam emails that are doing a "deep analysis" of my themes in Lighthouse or First Bright Thing. Because as a professor, good LORD AI is bad at this. It is like nails on a chalkboard, but reminds me that robots have limits. Like understanding a metaphor.

Heads up, Bookworms: There will likely be💀supply chain issues💀 this holiday season. So if there are specific books you have your heart set on for holiday gifting, I strongly suggest you buy/order them ahead of time (✨like now✨) rather than waiting until November/December.

It’s neat that we live in a world of almost endless beauty and wonder, and it’s even neater that the very best view can be found in my living room.

I love learning about people’s hyperfixations. The more niche and involved the better. A movie no one’s heard of from 1996? A specific type of stamp? One dude who changed the way we wrap candy in the 1800s? Please tell me your most specific obsession and info dump on me.
