I’m Megan (she/her) and I live in Ukiah, CA, which is a small town 2 hours north of San Francisco. I am a library assistant and I’ve been working at a public library for 2 years. Prior to that I taught fifth grade for nine years at a small charter school.
I am interesed in adult services in public libraries, particularly in how libraries can become more accessible and equitable for marginalized and vulnerable communities. I am excited for this course, because every person I’ve met who has completed this program recommended the course to me.
I’m a huge Trekkie and love to dance, mostly English Country Dancing but I’ve also been recently learning queer country line dancing. My main artistic outlets are cottagecore fashion and embroidery. I’m passionate about liberation, and do local community organzing including organzing in a mask bloc (mutual aid group that provides free N95/Kn95 masks).
I love to read middle grade and YA fiction, but lately I’ve been mostly reading queer and/or fat romance and cozy SFF.

Hi Megan! I’m intrigued by your post, so I have to ask…what is “queer country line dancing”? Where did you hear about it? And, where do you go to learn it? –Ping
Hi! Great question! Queer country line dancing is line dancing done by queer people, often with different music swapped out. For example, in this video the dancers are doing the dance “Texas Time” to Good Luck Babe. I learned about it on social media and I use Youtube to learn the dances. There’s a bunch of places around the country to do in person, like LA, SF and NY, look for Stud Country. I live rural though, so I just dance at my house with some friends, we have a little space for dancing.
@Megan Thnaks for sharing the video in your comment. I was going to ask same thing. I love it! Thanks for sharing all your interests as well.
