so much love and support has been shown for our fundraiser, so of course we increased our goal!! with a few days left of the #transrightsreadathon, our new goal is $750 (though we would love to double our original goal and get to $1k!!)

it’s actually insane for tiktok to be bootlicking like this when trump isn’t even president yet and holds NO power. i will be very interested to see the changes enforced on this new tiktok, but yall will not see me supporting that app.
