Today is International Trans Day of Visibility!
I read 2 books for The Trans Rights Readathon Both are written by Trans author focused on Trans people/characters I recommend both! -
A Trans Man Walks Into A Gay Bar - Harry Nicholas (nonficiton bio w/ lots of reflection)
Nevada - Imogen Binnie (Cult classic fiction book about a woman who breaks up with her long time girlfriend and goes on a search for herself)
This is my choice for the #transrightsreadathon! 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️ Unfortunately, it arrived with weird sticky spots, but I‘m just going roll with it. 🤔🫣

I am! I just finished Nevada (a cult classic) and am reading A Trans Man Walks Into A Gay Bar which I am really liking and up next I have either the biography An Apartment On Uranus or the novel Ponyboy both look excellent.

I am so glad I finally got to this cult classic!
I enjoyed messy Maria. She has been living her truth for ten years and she still doesn't have it all figured out. So when she meets a young guy in Nevada who reminds her of herself before transitioning she wants to be an inspiration for him. I thought the message was on point, the book moved at a good interesting clip even with a lot of introspection. I enjoyed this.
so-soThis is book 2 of a duology. I read book 1 four years ago, and the Colorado library system never got book 2. I found it now in Alaska, but it is a direct sequel (like, set a day or two after the events of book 1), and I didn't remember enough to fully enjoy it. Also, while there were supernatural elements, it wasn't nearly as creepy as the first. I suspect it would be better reading them back-to-back, but this didn't work on its own.
pickSo glad to have finally read this. I appreciate her vulnerability and honesty; so glad she is living her truth after decades of struggles. (And congrats are in order as she recently got married!)
My favorite gift is by far my kiddos. S my hairstylist loves to work on hair. Baby E and I enjoy cuddles, and F independent doing her own thing #SelfieScavengerHunt #WinterGames #GingerbreadGems

I presented Joe Strummer as my social justice research subject to the class today! The timeline is colored according to band phases with pieces to show the albums and relevant gigs:)
