Ex-professional ballet dancer turned writer (they/she). I’ve had three great loves in my life: dancing, writing, and being queer. I’ve written (and #amquerying) a novel, The Fire Years, that includes all three. ❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I’m salivating a little bit over your choices! A Wrinkle in Time was the book that turned me into a reader. And I just finished Lahiri’s Roman Stories—beautiful!

There is truly nothing low key about how I’m dealing with this.

19 year-old male ballet dancer staying at a youth hostel. Upstairs neighbor puts on the Chili Peppers, and Thomas puts on his headphones with the Bizet. Because he’s an anxious, sweet little nerd. ❤️

We'll have more to share in the coming days. But what can you do right now? Call Congress. Call your state and local officials. Tell them exactly what's at stake if the President's order stands: the future of America's libraries. It's time to Show Up #ForOurLibraries: bit.ly/ALA-LibraryStoryIMLS
