This Black Trans Futures Month, we look to Black transcestors for guidance and recognize that we are the transcestors of the future - leaving the soil richer for the next generation. How will you be remembered by future generations of Black trans siblings? Comment below!

A quote from Raquel Willis reads, “Each generation of trans people has faced some kind of persecution. And each time, we refuse the scarcity myths handed to us, leaving the soil richer for the next ones. So I ask you, Oh, trans people of now, what fruit will you bear?” A photo of Raquel Willis appears on top of an ombre yellow to pink background with her photo in the top left corner.

it is your DUTY as a parent to be basic and cringe. if your child says "6-7" and you do not say, loud enough for their friends to hear, "8-9?", causing profound silence and intense discomfort, you are neglecting your responsibilities. being cool is for kids. your days of being laughed WITH are over

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.

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.
