I am a queer coparenting mama to Dickens Jr. Doodler by day, 911 dispatcher by night. All my favorite shows look better on Tumblr. I am two years and 450K words deep into constructing a fanfic called Ages and I'm never giving up on it. Bering & Wells.

  1. I used to respond to the “we can’t teach inclusive sex ed because it will turn kids gay! OMG!” argument with “well hetero sex ed sure didn’t turn me straight”, but lately I’ve amended my response to “a few collateral gay kids seems worth the risk. At least they’d be better informed than I ever was.”
