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.

Oooo you could read about a magic circus … you could read about a magic lighthouse … You could read both in a combination magic circus lighthouse!

I just feel really fortunate and lucky to live in a cozy house with my family in a beautiful city. And now the leaves are changing color. What a lovely autumn.

Hi, I'm open for sensitivity reads rn. I can read for queer characters, disability (focuses in CPTSD, hypermobility, Long Covid, OCD, Anxiety), and progressive/reform Judaism. Please DM me for more information if you're interested in working together.
