🎂✨ Happy Birthday, Queer Mythology! ✨🎂
One year ago, this book of queer myths and legends entered the world. Since then, it’s been read, shared, taught, and celebrated. 🌍📚
At its heart is a truth: we have always existed. From Tu’er Shen to Lakapati to Xochipilli, our stories are ancient and alive.

✨ After my own whirlwind back-to-school night, a friend told me her child discovered my book on their school library shelf. 💜 Almost a year since release (!!), and I’ll be celebrating with events this fall—some online.
📚 Here’s to stories finding their way to classrooms, libraries & young readers.

More from my QUEER MYTHOLOGY. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🙏🌀 They defy labels & laugh at binaries.
Athena leads armies while learning feelings. ⚔️ Hermes glides among loves of many worlds. 💞 Loki births monsters & gender is a tool of truth. 👺Lan Caihe is a song that plays between pronouns.🐉

📚 From my book Queer Mythology, here are 4 figures to honor Pride Month.
WE PROTECT EACH OTHER🛡️
Tu’er Shen watches over queer love. Ghede Nibo uplifts the lost. Philoctetes proves how to the tide of fate. Fet-Fruners blesses the cursed. 🌈🫶
In every myth, we were never victims—we were PROTECTORS.🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

Not just because it’s coming in Portuguese. 🇧🇷 Not just because it’s HEADING INTO A 2nd PRINTING. 😳😱🤩
It reminds me stories travel farther carried by community. Thank you to all who shared & celebrated Queer Mythology. You are part of its journey—and mine. 💫📚🌈

Here Lies Our History. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🪦 Queer stories aren’t just in archives—they’re etched in headstones. Visiting (& writing about) graves of LGBTQ+ legends like Baron von Steuben is part remembrance, part resistance & always history.
