alright you wanna know how to support trans people?
hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.
Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

Today's action (day 6). Passed on to me from Marcia Szymanski:
Call the Governor and asked them to continue issuing full birth certificates to all babies born in the state (to help guarantee birthright citizenship).

In case you hadn't noticed, I'm posting an action a day. One that can be done easily and privately. This is not a replacement for larger organizing efforts but in addition. Nobody can do everything but everyone can do something. This is day 3.

Today's action: make donations. I've never done recurring/auto donations before. Today, I'm signing up to give regularly to a human rights org, an immigrant aid org, and a nonprofit news org.

When you use Pharisee as a slur but try to say it’s not antisemitic it’s like arguing that saying “that’s so gay” as an insult but not intending to refer to same sex love is magically thus not actually homophobic or harmful to queer people.

You can very quickly and easily add ALT to an image with text in it. If you open the ALT editor in the iPhone app and click these three little lines it will allow you to simply copy and paste the text into the field. Takes seconds!
