Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance, where we acknowledge and remember the thousands of trans lives lost to violence and transphobia.

Sophie Labelle captures what so many of us are feeling at the moment.

I have deliberately chosen to not use a content warning on this post, as I will not hide the pain, hurt and anger that our community is feeling. I apologise to my trans peers who don't wish to see more pain on their timelines, but I want the cis people in my timeline to see this and understand!

I went to a #trans meetup today. This was our "flag" so that people could recognise us...

Well, I guess I'm #fediverse famous when I'm followed by the founder of FTX :P

I admit it, I laughed :)

I guess it's that time of the year...

Random #animal of #Australia #photo time. This little girl would sneak in my back door whenever I left it open.

The first time I saw her, I thought my kiddo was in the kitchen going back for some leftover pasta, only to find this little #possum helping herself to the leftovers!

She did not let go of that pasta even as I tried to encourage her to leave :)

So, #fediverse, I'm relying on your expertise. My mum and dad found two photo albums in #KelvinGrove in #Brisbane / #Meanjin in the early 1970s. The photo albums show the life of a British couple that were living in #Hankou (and possibly #HongKong) in the late 1930's and early 1940's including photos showing the aftermath of air raids over Hankou in WWII.

With the help of reddit, I was able to identify the couple in question, however, they did not have any children and have no living relatives that are interested in the albums.

So, my question is, what can I do with these albums? I've talked to a couple of organisations that have digital photo archives, but they all said it might be many years before they get scanned and uploaded. And if that's the best I can manage, that's where I'll donate them, but I feel like surely I can give them a better home than that.

CW for one of the images - it shows buildings burning after an air raid

Introduction #4! Because #3 got left behind when I moved instances :)

I'm Ada, a 40 something #trans woman from #Meanjin / #Brisbane #Australia. I have a teenage #NonBinary kiddo and a tuxedo #cat! Before covid, I was a trans activist, #runner, #RollerDerby player and unstoppable extrovert. I lost much of that during the covid years, and I'm now trying to reclaim it.

Estoy aprendiendo #español y me encanta #BuenosAires y #Argentina! Voy a volver un día pronto!
