By day, Lori Selke is an ESL instructor (and stealth adjunct composition instructor) who lives in Oakland, California. But beneath that wholesome and mild-mannered facade lurks a zine veteran, an education and social justice academic, a queer writer and activist, and a general thorn in the side of normativity. Their fiction has been previously published inNightmare Magazine, Strange Horizons, and Asimov's; their nonfiction has appeared at NPR.org, Offbeat Home, The Billfold, and the SF Weekly, as well as the open-access academic journals Refuge and the International Journal of Human Rights Education. 

This story originally appeared in Outlaw Bodies (2012).
