I love this column so! much! Find Your Fit: The Queer Academic Who Wants to Be Your Professor Crush.

Yvonne wrote about the tomboys and weird girls of the 90’s and early aughts. (At least three of my roots are in there; who were yours?)

Um, so Disney released a novelized sequel to Hocus Pocus, and it’s super queer!! Happy Early Halloween to us all!
