The Non-Binaries

Hello! I want to reintroduce myself. My name is Colin, I’m trans/non-binary, and my pronouns are he/they! That means you can address me with he/him or they/them pronouns.

I’m thankful for the support I’ve received from my friends, colleagues, students, and loved ones. I’m looking forward to living more openly and authentically. It feels good to be myself!

I’ll be changing my name on here and other social media later this week.

I made a Project for Awesome 2023 video about The Learning Gate, which is a nonprofit that provides affordable and quality childcare! I’m the Lead Preschool Teacher. Help us receive a grant by voting here from February 17-19:

“Shut the fuck up.”

Palestinians will tell you that one of their greatest wishes is that the world would not forget them; this is what their oppressors are aiming to do. Unfortunately the attacks in Sheikh Jarrah and Al-Aqsa mosque are just instances in decades of horrific oppression and ethnic cleansing. You can directly help Palestinians by buying from them and helping them take economic power back.
