MA in English Literature. Lesbian (taken <3 ). Writer. Professor. All non-comp-title art posted for pitch events is my own. Querying: "The Mage and I, Malachi"

being a stealth, passing trans woman in higher academia in one of THOSE states in the US is not for the faint of heart cause it feels like everything’s fine then i watch one of my favorite comedians stand up for trans people and i start sobbing at home, like damn i forgot some people still like us 🥹

I like Ed Sheeran being like "I never spoke about politics. Because my music is about unity, not division" and then the music is like "la la la la I want to touch your body wow. sexy crazy body wow"

Wait a damn minute. The things Arday did, like the marathons, had been previously covered, with first hand primary sources, by English news orgs, contemporaneously?!?! And yet the Telegraph and others just kept repeating that he'd lied about them, despite tons of documentation they happened?! 🤬🤬🤬

Jason Arday's marathon challenge and football claims found to be true after his death

Claims the late academic made which were widely derided as false in media and online discourse this month appear to be true, an MEE analysis has found

if i had a nickel for every time a faculty member told me something along the lines of “ive heard good things” or “a lot of people are very impressed” over this past week i would have at least two nickels, which isnt much but it’s two times more than i expected it to happen. 😭🥹

i may not have a publishing update, but what i do have is a brand new job as an adjunct professor at a local college with enough classes to support myself entirely by teaching for the time being. im so happy omg :D

I cannot emphasize how much of a non-issue this is. I use the women's. Doctors ask when my last period was. Airport security looks back up at me when I hand them my passport. I have navigated life smoothly as a woman for years, and I am only endangered by the ideological fixations on denying that.
