We dare you to practice peer support today (use the peer support bingo board if you'd like a few ideas!). ✨

We double-dog dare you to connect with a peer supporter in the next year! ✨

We triple-dog dare you to post the bingo card and tag us when you complete one of the squares. ✨
Green background with a bingo board and text that reads: Receiving Peer Support Bingo -Reached out to a trust person to ask for support - Spent time doing a hobby or activity that fills my cup - Practiced getting consent before sharing a potentially triggering or heavy story - Set a boundary with someone in my life - Considered and partnered with my body during hard conversations - Expressed myself with someone provided care that didn't resonate with me - Felt understood by someone providing support to me - Allowed myself to pause, breathe, and rest before, during or after sharing a part of myself / my story. Green background with a bingo board and text that reads: Receiving Peer Support Bingo - Chose presence, radical patience and listening over fixing - Offered options, not ultimatums - Asked "what do you need right now?" or "What's on your ideal care menu?" - Co-created solutions rather than impose them - Shared a story from personal experience in a consent-centered way - Provided resources or information that could help someone make choices - Shared/gifted a zine that help validate a person's experience - Apologized when I caused hurt or harm and tried again

We couldn't be more grateful for our community. ✨💗😌

Support trans joy, community-building, and mutual aid by making an end-of-year donation today. Your support now ensures that we can keep expanding our life-saving work next year and beyond.
The words “2025 was a year of collective action. It was a difficult year for the trans community and we are proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish.” appear on a blue background among graphics of abstract waves. Below the text is a quote from Kelly Hayes: “It takes collective action to make waves. The reality is that each of us bringing our pebbles to the lake and throwing them in is what it takes to make change.” The words “This year:” appear on a blue background with graphics of abstract waves in the corner. Below is the following list of accomplishments: - We responded to the ever-growing need for our hotline by prioritizing rebuilding that program in our budget. - We increased our call capacity by 75% during our operating hours by recruiting wonderful trans people and increasing starting salaries. - We moved towards a more self-care-focused schedule, where operators receive more support during the work day so they can be more present on the lines. - We built a beautiful virtual world that acts as a spiritual home for all of our trans ancestors, a place for QT art, connection, memorial, love, and hope. - We improved our team’s benefits to become more resourced in this work. We did this while honoring the values and boundaries that we believe in. - We relaunched a microgrants program that moved $100K to trans people across the US. The words “Take collective action now. Support trans joy, community-building, and mutual aid by making an end-of-year donation today.” appear on a blue background with graphics of abstract waves in the corner.

While it may feel like the end times are upon us, trans people have always found ways to not only survive but thrive, and 2025 was no different. Trans people and their allies made history and culture - here are some of our successes this year! Share more of our accomplishments with us below <3
The words “2025 Trans Wins!” appear above a quote from Kelly Hayes that reads “Even if the end times are upon us, we should still plant trees” on a blue and pink ombre background. The words "Political success” appear on a blue and pink ombre background next to a photo of SJ Howell. A text box includes the words “Following an impactful speech by nonbinary Representative SJ Howell, 17 Montana Republicans crossed party lines and rejected Senate Bill 164 which would charge parents with child abuse for providing gender-affirming care even if they were just driving through the state, resulting in the defeat of SB164.” The words “Seminal art projects” appear on a blue and pink ombre background next to a photo of a trans artist. A text box includes the words “El Museo del Chopo opens a seminal exhibit showcasing five decades of trans women’s art and cultural production in México City. Plasticidades Encarnadas features 140 works by 39 trans artists.” The words “A new era of allied electeds” appear on a blue and pink ombre background next to a photo of Zohran Mamdani. A text box includes the words “Newly elected Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, invokes the legacy of transgender activist Sylvia River and commits to making New York City safer for trans people in a public video during his campaign. After being elected, Mamdani appoints Abby Stein, a trans woman, to his transition team.”

Twitch Together for Good Streamathon reminds us of what is possible when our community comes together. Together, we raised almost $22k! We wouldn’t have been able to accomplish this without the support of the 68 streamers and creators who participated this year.

We had 205 hours of streaming and had 68 streamers and creators participate!” appear on a pink, purple, and green ombre background.

With terror looming beneath the lake, the camp finds itself needing a much needed weekend off. Hopefully no one catches disaster...or feelings.

Join us at 11am PT for Field Trip #5 of our Monsterhearts 2 campaign, Summer in Carcosa: Blooming Feelings!
Promotional Image of a Monsterhearts 2 game called Summer in Carcosa. The background is brown with wood grain accents. In bright yellow text at the top it says Summer in Carcosa a Monsterhearts 2 game with a yellow and black logo of a cthulu in a baseball cap. In the middle are photos of the cast. From left to right they are: Lady Dame, Maia, Angela, Monroe, and Ventris. Above each player photo is a headshot of character art of each PC. At the bottom it says Mondays at 11am Pacific / 2pm Eastern on twitch.tv/sword_and_key with the Sword & Key logo. There is a credit for the artist that drew the character art that says art by IG: amayaisokay. The game is raising money for Trans Lifeline.
