It is a new morning and a fresh start to scream into a void, if that is what you need this morning.

Today might also be a great day to write down or add all the contact info for your political representatives to your contacts, so you can also scream/email/call them.

Was a minute or two but only because we had to walk through Vivo to get to the polls!

This is incredible.💗🏳️‍⚧️ Rhianna Pratchett and Rob Wilkins spent the whole week digging through Sir Terry Pratchett's archives to find an incredibly rare signed first edition of Monstrous Regiment for the Genre for Trans Rights charity auction. bit.ly/genrefortrans. It's already over £1000!

Screengrab from the Genre Creators for Trans RIghts in the UK and SA featuring photographs of Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett (signed 1st edition) donated by Rob Wilkins and Rhianna Pratchett. Images show the signed front page, the cover, the back cover and publication information.

Pain is weird. When you have BIG pain, and then get a slight hurt, like perhaps scraping up your wrist that you didn't notice at the time...maybe.

You look at the wrist and say, "Huh, that should hurt," but it doesn't register because of the overwhelming BIG pain elsewhere. #spoonie #chronicpain

I’ve stayed quiet long enough this election.
But something has pushed me past the point of silence.
This isn’t about left vs right. It’s about rights and power.
And it’s why I won’t vote Conservative.

Those who seek to rise to power quickly often promote mistrust between people, causing our world to suffer. As ordinary people, we can choose to ignore messages that divide us and instead amplify voices that bring us together.

I have quite a few trans friends and loved ones. And they are my friends because they are wonderful, and my loved ones because I'm lucky enough to have them think I'm wonderful too. They are deserving of love, respect, and kindness, just like everyone else.
