Time to shout about the excellent books I've read this year!
1 - A Sorceress Comes To Call by T Kingfisher
An excellent book that deals with sorcery, abuse, trauma and found family! A brilliant way to kick off the year's reading! I need more T Kingfisher in my life

Oh, look. Science showing that gender affirming care dramatically reduces suicidality in trans kids. Listen to children! And scientists!
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
Transgender care saves lives.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Muhammad. Muhammad was an accountant prior to this but his workplace was destroyed and his home severely damaged. He’s hoping to leave Gaza with his family including his daughters Iman, 5 and Lian, 6 so that they can get a better education.
