Thanks to for kindly hosting us for a game night encore. They have a full menu and hundreds of games.

Please DM if you are an educator and need help with the $6 cover.

It was great to make new friends and see familiar faces at our cozy winter survival gathering last night. Hang in there everyone. Community will get us through.

Never forget that you belong in school.

2025 was a continued challenge to sustain momentum in the face of grief, violence, fear, and heartbreak.

What’s better than q***r heartbreak? Q***r community is better than q***r heartbreak. Q***r joy is better than q***r heartbreak.

Join us for a community event focused on mutual support.

Will there be a mini collaborative art opportunity?

Yes. We think so. Probably.

Friday 1/16/26. 5pm. Burlington. DM for address.

Q***rest educators! Please join us for an evening of craft and community and comaraderie and coping. Bring a work in progress and let us know how you’re doing. We’re a *tight knit* group and we want to show up for each other. We did this event last year and *felt* in love with it. We’re just *hooked* on mutual support.

Don’t have a craft? Knot a problem. We will have free supplies if you’d like to try knit, crochet, or needle felting.

Friday 11/14/25
6:30pm-9:00pm
DM for location

Knit’s a date!

It will be sew fun.

See you there.

One of the first things we learned in our work together at TeachOut is that lgbtq+ educators in Vermont often feel a sense of isolation in their professional environments. Community makes a difference! It was great to meet so many new colleagues at Pride this weekend in Burlington. Never forget that you belong in a school!

Q***rest educators! We would love to see you at pride this year in Burlington this Sunday 9/7/25.

March with us or stop by our table (or both).

To walk with us in the parade, meet at 11:30 at St. Paul Street between Main & College. Look for our banner.

Or stop by our table at the festival from 1-5 at waterfront park. See you there!
