📚 QUEERBOOK 2024 is hereee! We made a book by and for LGBTQ+ youth! 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Last year, we asked LGBTQ+ youth: what's your idea of a "queer utopia?"
Not gonna lie - with more than 150 bills introduced in 35 states in 2023 that aimed to restrict student access to inclusive and diverse books and other library materials, the theme felt pretty radical.
And you DELIVERED. With the help of our Youth Voices (amazing queer youth activists from across the country), we compiled your amazing submissions of poetry, short essays and letters, visual art, photography, and more into Queerbook 2024. Like a yearbook, it captures what queer youth are feeling, going through, and hoping for - right here, right now across the U.S.
It's also no accident that it's the perfect small-ish size to stash in your locker or backpack so you can crack it open any time you're looking for some queer connection. :3
Read some more about the book and grab your own limited-run copy of Queerbook 2024 now here.

Reluctant to post this, but here it is anyways. The girls stopped fighting <3 No matter what, Mind will always find something to nag Heart about.
Text, because it's kinda illegible: [Stop using Dollar Tree shampoo. Your hair feels like the hair on a horse mask.]
[...You can use mine. Just don't use too much, or I will shave your head while you sleep.]

I am so so grateful and happy that Jeff is getting all the love in the world from the Sabres. He deserves it so so so much. I happened to start watching the Canes right after he was traded. Right before the season that would break the playoff drought, after many years of Jeff being a major face of the franchise, a couple years after he got the A, he was shipped off to Buffalo.
It was a shock for many reasons: the very little the Canes got in return, an insult to what he meant to the team, but it also felt a little inevitable: mismanagement and badly coached, he wasn’t utilized properly. Despite this, he was a highlight of one of the worst stretches of Carolina hockey.
How do I know all this when I just missed him? Because he’s almost like a bruise for the fanbase. For the long time faithful, he will always be The Rookie, the Calder Winner, the youngest All Star, goofy former figure skater, turned beloved alternate captain, a mainstay, a Hurricane.
For eight years he was a bright spot amongst record setting low attendance. Then, with a new owner who had sights on a new image, a new foundation for the team, giving away that trademark smile was almost a certainty but still in the many hearts of Raleigh, a surprise.
It breaks my heart a little, to see no one from Carolina comment on his milestone. Maybe they’re trying not to bring up the sadness of the trade, but I still remember Jeff posting his support for UNC Chapel Hill in the NCAA tournament a year or two ago. He posted a cup from an old dive bar near the university only locals know. This is a college basketball state above all else and he still showed his love for it after all these years.
He helped future stars, the next alternate captain even, adjust to the team in his last years. And now, through no fault of his own, holds the awful record of never going to the playoffs while being the youngest to 1000 games. Many had hoped so much more for him here. Today, I saw so many people saying how much love they still have for him, how much they wished he could’ve had a better time here, wishing we could’ve given him more than he gave us.
Many players come and go every single season, but whenever Buffalo comes into town, I know I’ll see a multitude of 53s in PNC Arena, most of them red and white. Happy 1000th, Jeff. You’re still here, in the people who miss you: the fans, the staff, the players; they remind us of your place in Carolina history.
