It's not of my choosing, but this is my last non-partisan election day. I'm excited for this exhausting limbo to end soon, but until then you get one last publicly neutral, "Go vote!"

Happy Halloween from four-year-old me.
Yeah, I always knew.
I wanted to be Wonder Woman — strong, kind, and brave enough to fight for truth, justice, and the American way.
Back then, I thought it was a costume.
But it’s who I am, and who I aspire to be.
Well… maybe with fewer stars on my shorts.

My last military crew was S5R; said properly, S5Arrgh! We were the pirates. We even planned a pirate-themed party this spring, and I had my costume ready to board ship. But before the revelry began, the government made me walk the plank. I didn't get to share another round of laughter with the crew.

In the executive order banning transgender service members, we were labeled undisciplined, dishonorable, liars.

This is a short, practical guide. It’s serious in purpose, a little lighthearted in delivery, and built for the long haul.
Speak out, get involved... get a cat? Is it really that easy? This is one of my longer pieces, but I hope you'll give it a read.

It is important today to acknowledge and thank federal workers for their service.
If they are forced out, it is not only they who will suffer. Far more of us than we can imagine will end up in trauma; we just do not know when it will strike.

“Wait… there’s a book?”
Yep. It’s about how queer leaders are forged in fire—developing not just skills but a mindset that leadership is for all of us. And while it centers queer leadership, the lessons are for everyone.
Print, e-book, audio—and yes, signed copies & talks available.

The world feels heavy right now. It’s as though we’ve entered a new phase, where the frost that visited a few times is giving way to a deep snow that is certain to linger. If it stays long enough, another storm will come through and drop more on top of it...

Not a glamour shot. Just truth.
Taken minutes after I broke down, holding the uniform I can no longer wear.
This is what it looks like when the tears dry but the fight stays in your eyes.
There is still so much to be hopeful for.
