The trans experience of keeping each other alive while cis saviors profit from our mere mention.

We have enough validity right now, but what cis folks CAN actually do: - Contribute to GFMs for trans care and travel (we are a very impoverished demographic!) - Help a trans person get a job - Help a trans person move - Vocally oppose anti-trans legislation (yell at reps, not random bigots online!

This week’s acquisitions include: Trans Care by @hilmalatino.bsky.social Histories of the Trans Child, Jules Gill-Peterson Stag Dance by @torreypeters.bsky.social

When this hit my inbox I was so pumped!!!! I love @msteabotanica.bsky.social 's herbal medicines and I love supporting trans people!

My first post at Resonant Body is a love letter to trans siblings, queer ancestors & call for allies to step up in community defense. It’s gonna take all of us meeting at the intersections of shared struggle, centering the most vulnerable. Write to trans inmates, put yr 😷 on, offer material support.

"We can still do what we've always done — take care of each other, break rules, and help people get what they need to survive…This is a time for sustained care for one another, careful rule-breaking, and disobedience in the face of illegitimate authority."

the fascists are looking to rigidly define gender not just to punish trans people like they claim but to lay the groundwork for the oppression of all women. when gender is legally mutable, it is harder to use it to restrict people’s rights. they want to build a cage around you, made from our bones

Sent a grip of herb donations, teas, masks, lung elixirs, nervines & salves to LA homies affected by fires. This was a few weeks back, but will continue to share long haul herbal support with mutual aid networks as I’m able. #herbalism #fireseason

transition has been mostly DIY and community-organized since forever. when you're ready, figure out what you can offer and what you need. talk in real life, use signal, get creative, don't get caught. they can't break us in a way that matters!!!! I love you.

Last day for public comment, it takes about 1 min. Confirming these two grifters would be a disaster for public health.

Violet always doing the most in January. In a couple months I’ll harvest leaves for lung teas and lymph massage oils. #herbalism #plantmagic #queerherbalist #violet #bloomscrolling

We’re in scary times, but remember that the trans people immediately at most risk from the executive orders are those who were already being persecuted under Biden—prisoners, immigrants, full service sex workers etc. It’s okay to be afraid but keep your head in the game.

“every day, relinquish and resist exceptionalism and elitism. american exceptionalism is fatal for the whole world. what our nation has instigated, funded and/or allowed to happen anywhere in the world is going to happen to more of us here, we need to be humble about that.“ 👌🏻

@aclu.org is documenting cases of passports being delayed or denied due to the halting of all gender marker changes (mine is one of many). After May, I’ll be unable to fly anywhere for the foreseeable future.

Okay, here’s the deal: RIGHT NOW is the time for concrete, direct action. If you’re following me, it’s probably because you care about trans art and trans literature. The article below lays out my suggestions for dozens of concrete actions you can take to preemptively combat literary censorship.

met this cutie 14 years ago on our first date at the beach. then fell in love with the land, plants & wildflowers. celebrating this steadfast love through grief, heartache, joy, endless change. deep connection with plants always at the center. @botanicalhikes
