Damn you NASA! After the Hubble telescope and the Apollo 11 moon lander, I guess now my next tattoo will *have* to be an Artemis one 😭🤍

Mx. RileySpent my day recuperating and glued to NASA livestream, came back to find how deeply caring folks are 🥹
I'm 96% of the way to having my Very Specific health insurance plan covered for the rest of the year! And 34% of the way toward my total goal for covering this year's gender affirming care and surgery. This is actually happening!!!
Hasn't even been 48 hours yet 😭 I love you all so much. I have so many thank yous to write!
Look at what these amazing people have done: https://gofund.me/0146fe4fa
I can’t remember how I found out about this book but I’m just reading “The serviceberry” by Robin Wall Kimmerer and it’s such a beautiful, inspiring work about the gift economy and living in community, about finding alternatives to systems of financial gain and about resisting oppressive systems brought on by colonialism 🤍✊
It’s so good and soothing, I would totally recommend this to anyone who just feels despair looking at the world right now.
Paul CantrellI never quite understood what Carolyn Forché meant when she said “the choice is ourselves or nothing.”
I think maybe I do now.

Neil BrownPractical thoughts:
1) actively encourage trans people into your community and spaces. Be explicitly clear that they are welcome.
2) promote and enforce robust codes of conduct, and ask for this in events to which you contribute.
3) report anti-trans content to your own instance admins, and to the hosting instance admin if it makes sense to do so.
4) buy stuff (if you are in a position to do so) from trans people. Loads of trans people in the fediverse have small shops selling cool bits and pieces (drawings, books, jewellery, and more).
5) if you control the design of forms and systems, do not collect gender information unless necessary (and I don't have a good example of when this might be, but someone might)
6) push back against laws and policies which discriminate against, or make life harder for, trans people. Write to your MP, and be vocal in your support.
