Ashley has given everything to the trans community and it's time we give back to her. She is unhoused and recovering from major surgery. She needs us to show up for her. We literally owe her.

This is my friend Ashley Diamond. She is a trans ICON. It's because of her that incarcerated trans people in the state of Georgia have access to gender-affirming healthcare.

Please share your resources with her.

The antifascist that was shot by a 50501 protest marshal, and then arrested for the death of the other person shot (and killed) by that yellow vest pos, could use commissary funds.

Please support my friend @lunarflight.bsky.social and their family! They all recently got the flu and need extra support right now. Their son also needs support for gender affirming care!

Please consider supporting a Korean & Indian family with ongoing community care so they don’t have to return to an unsafe, abusive living situation with a homophobic, transphobic, ableist, etc. person!

Devi is a queer agender Malayalee who is multiply disabled and chronically ill - they are a Mad, AuDHD, Crip. They are mostly house- and bedbound and presently working with their treatment team to get a power wheelchair and also a home health aide.

In addition to Devi’s own disability, their children and nesting person are disabled, and their eldest is trans and transitioning.
