The return of the trans underground
The internet once helped trans people connect and organize. Now it’s a dangerous liability. What comes next?

A recent mutual aid request from a transgender household here in the panhandle. If you can help it would be appreciated

#amarillo #txpanhandle #lgbtq+ #transgender #signalboost #communitysupport #mutualaid
My family and I need to move somewhere for the rest of September due to mold exposure in our house. I found a hotel we can stay at with low rates that, if we stayed starting September 18th-September 30th, we'd need around $340 to stay at. Our plan to raise these funds, if not through donations, is to ask for use of a vehicle to Uber/DD with my wife and I present (running the business/food side of things), giving a driver cut for gas, in order to raise enough money to stay at this hotel. Just until our car's registration tags come in the mail (likely sometime next week, but I don't feel comfortable using our car due to risk of being pulled over or potential legal trouble with Uber/DD that might occur, though I'm not for sure). We unfortunately aren't able to use my second paycheck of the month because our money will need to go to putting a down payment on apartment for us to leave TX October 1st/the first week of October at the latest. Hence our inability to afford the hotel stay. I know it's unlikely anyone can provide their car, time, and energy, so anything you could donate would help us. Thank you.

PSA:
Alot of turmoil is being felt throughout the country. People will have misguided anger.
With the tension in the United States right now we want to remind everyone to be aware of your surroundings. Please let someone know where you are at all times. Use the buddy system whenever possible.

A great essay on representation in video games. If you get a chance check out the rest of Aranock's work :)

My works less listening focused, but I make video essays. You might find this piece on player characters and our relationship to them that is focused on videogames but very applicable to media analysis of TTRPG'S. youtu.be/KBn5VF_On2k?...
