    Welcome back QQTs! 👑

    It is Chapter 26 and we're touching a topic that is incredibly important to us!

    We're discussing Alyssa and Molly's fundraiser for the month of June, the Trevor Project. A non-profit, crisis intervention organization focused on LGBTQ+ youth. They are available 24/7 and 365! Anyone in crisis can text, instant message, or call in and instantly be connected to a crisis counselor. They also provide an online community platform for youth to connect to other youth for support/friendship/advice etc. Please consider donating, or spreading the word of the Trevor Project to help support a potential LGBTQ+ youth in crisis.

    We also discuss our favorite current reads with LGBTQ+ Recommendations! They're a wide variety of topics from Greek Mythology retellings, high fantasy, Disney retellings, etc! A book for every reader! We have all of them referenced below, and please head over to the comments to discuss your favorites!
