Two erasures, one Tuesday: a buoy hauled from the dying sea after 13 years, and a trans girl who stopped fighting her school's bathroom law. Notice which made the morning report. https://twp.ai/9OXOUZ #TransRights #ClimateCrisis #LGBTQ #Resistance #QueerSky #MutualAid #ClimateAction

The FCC wants to slap a warning label on trans existence. You can't warn the future away. https://twp.ai/9OVylz #Trans #LGBTQ #FCC #TransRights #QueerSky #Pride #Censorship

"It is incumbent upon us as pagans not to dim the lights of marginalized individuals by asking them to conform in a community that echoes the discrimination and marginalization they already face in day-to-day life. We must celebrate and empower those who need empowerment the most."

I was delighted to receive a gift from my past self in the mail one day: "Queer as Folklore" by Sacha Coward. It's a wonderful dance through multiple eras and mythologies, revealing symbols and stories of queer resilience in the face of oppression. Definitely add it to your TBR stack! https://majorarqueerna.com/exploring-queer-symbolism-in-global-mythology-a-review-of-sacha-cowards-queer-as-folklore/

ICYMI!
Check out this beautiful "Light in the Darkness" ritual written by Rev. Ron Padrón.

I've recorded a bunch of podcasts this year. The time I spent with the folks at Mystical Musings was extra-special, though. We talked for a solid two hours (edited down to about 90 minutes) about everything from "Queer Rites" to the state of queerness in the United States to my favorite books in a bunch of different genres to my secret for perfectly-buttered toast.

Lots and lots of recommendations in this one, so give it a listen!

This ritual by Rev. Ron Padrón of White Rose Witching doesn't seek to push anyone to come out before they're ready, but it does help shine a light in the darkness and let them know they're not alone; that they are loved. Please share!

So. You messed up somebody's pronouns. 🤦

Don't panic! It happens. What you do next is what matters *most.*

Check out some easy do's and don'ts in my post here: https://majorarqueerna.com/pronouns

You can even print this post as a mini zine!

OMG OMG OMG y'all.

When my first book came out, I had a couple places I was dying to see it on the shelf: places that meant a lot to me. One was my hometown public library (check!) & the other was Powell's in Portland, Oregon.

Well, Powell's had my first book available only as a special order, which was a little disappointing. But my newest book, "Queer Rites," is not only on the shelf at Powell's, it's a STAFF PICK. I am *screaming*. A colleague just sent me this photo.

I wasn't able to watch it live, but I'm stoked to check out the recording of Ariana Serpentine's #LlewellynCon talk about "Rethinking Binary Approaches in Magical Systems." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKEkxFnMFEE

Still my favorite blurb ever. Thank you, Kristoffer!

"Queer Rites" is available wherever books are sold! If you are able to support indie/local bookshops with your purchase, please do!

I'd also love it if you could request it for purchase at your local public library!

Had a blast presenting at LlewellynCon today - the very first day of the event (so there's lots more you can check out, if you missed it!). Llewellyn's marketing team is super on-the-ball and posted the video of my Queer Rites of Passage workshop on YouTube the second it finished, so you can watch if you missed it!

A postcard I sent to my partner from London recently got promoted to the front of the fridge. I got it from Gay's the Word, which was super cool to visit since I'm a fan of the movie "Pride" (2014). #queer #lgbtq #QueerSky
