Afeni Edwards, DC Activist, gave us chills with this important reminder: the revolution is NOW.

“We must put our resources, our voices, and our bodies on the line to protect our community… because we are the revolution we’ve been waiting for.”

Congress is currently attempting to pass a bill that will ban transgender healthcare for minors and adults under Medicaid and ACA. It passed in the House, and is going to the Senate. Please tell your Senators to vote NO on HR1, to help transgender people like myself continue to access healthcare
Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT.

@distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting.

Alt text: The first transgender suicide hotline is now up and running in the U.S. You can reach Trans Lifeline at 877-565-8860

(Additional info from me: Trans Lifeline's been around since 2014. It is available Mon-Fri, 10am-6pm EST. All operators are trans, & they won't call 911 w/o your consent.)
Might save a life.

All my favorite indie authors rely heavily on KU/amazon, and most have already spoken on this topic. We all hate bezos, but there is not a *viable* alternative at this time for *most* authors

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests.

We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason.

I think it’s really important we identify the companies that are doing the right thing and reward them with our business.

Planned Parenthood contributions have decreased 15% YoY and we know federal funding just got cut off, but the work they’re doing is more vital than ever. I’ve pledged a monthly donation to support the cause. If you can afford it, consider chipping in 🙏
