I’ll be:

• reading from my queer-as-fuck novel Riding SideSaddle*, while being a loud and vocal trans woman.
• speaking about empathy in art and code and software.
• chatting about queer identities, hate, politics, and intersectionality.
• hugging people.

I’m not changing the world here, there’s more to do, but it feels like a nice way to get started, find my energy, and find my people.

Any profits will go to one of these rad organizations committed to empowering women, people of color, immigrants, queers, Muslims, and disabled people — or fighting climate change. If you have a specific organization to recommend, I’m all ears.
