Much has been written about increasing anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, but we know less about what it’s like to grow up under it: “I’m Afraid for My Life”: Queer and Trans Youth’s Experiences of Surviving Far-Right Anti-LGBTQ+ Laws in Alberta, Canada.

Heated Rivalry has exploded far beyond queer fan spaces—circulating through sports media and even “hockey bro” podcasts. In a new piece for @theconversation.com, I examine the cultural moment sparked by queer joy's appearance in professional hockey #heatedrivalry theconversation.com/heated-rival...

Removing Pride flags from Edmonton libraries is shameful and fascist. These flags indicate that everyone is welcome in public libraries, and to want to remove that signal of belonging is aborrent #ableg edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Misinformation is fuelling support for Alberta's new education, healthcare, and sport laws, and this teach-in will help clarify what these anti-2SLGBTQ+ laws are about and their impacts. Please share the event widely! Register us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi... @floralashes.bsky.social #ableg #abpoli

Alberta just passed anti-2SLGBTQ+ laws that signal second-class citizenship for queer and trans people Introduction of these laws have already regressed public attitudes- yesterday Barrhead, AB banned Pride crosswalks These laws are disgusting attempts to eradicate queer life. #ableg #abpoli

In this new op-ed with @floralashes.bsky.social, we argue that all Albertan youth are disadvantaged and made less safe by the new anti-trans, anti-queer laws coming into effect under the UCP government. #abpoli theconversation.com/danielle-smi...

Danielle Smith’s new policies make all Albertan youth unsafeThe harms posed to trans youth are more than enough reason to abandon three proposed Alberta bills. However, trans youth are not the only victims of these reckless policies.theconversation.com

Finally moving over to bsky! It'll take me awhile to shift over from Twitter but I will be more active here soon 🌈
