OUTMemphis offers material and social support for trans kids and adults and has since 1989.

If anyone is having trouble following my (increasingly long) thread tracking incidents where police assaulted journalists at protests in Los Angeles this weekend, it's also in spreadsheet form here. This is the more organized version I've been sending to lawyers, agency chiefs, electeds, etc.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

I've been over at Mastodon for a couple of years and I like it a lot, but missing there is a critical mass of literary translators, Southeastern Europe-interested ppl, & local gov't reps, service providers & bloggers I used to follow elsewhere. Looking forward to seeing what you've been up to!
