PinkNews says it is moving "away from having a reporter-led newsroom" and there "isn’t a need for the reporter role.” Not sure what that could possibly look like, but ok

I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them. At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.

Action item for Canadians: look up your municipal/provincial/federal rep Does their official website have an X button on it? Write them a letter that says: "Hey, I'm your constituent, your website [url] has a link that goes to a site with porn on it" Use more words than that if you got spoons.

If you don't have an N95 or P3 mask, get one. Inhalation injuries are the most common cause of death in bushfires - that includes smoke, ash, carbon monoxide, and heated air if you're close enough to a fire. Here's a quick thread on some of the signs and symptoms of inhalation injuries.
