Our comrades at @HaymakerChi have held down a free anti-racist martial arts & self-defense gym in Chicago going on 2 years now.

Right now, they’re asking for a bit of help to keep the lights on, and expand their offerings. https://twitter.com/haymakerchi/status/1137419576134647809

In the western US, you can use the Western Monarch Milkweed Mapper to report sightings of monarch butterflies and milkweed. The western part of their migration isn't as well understood, so that's why they're collecting data on it. The site tells a lot about all the kinds of milkweed, which look very different from one another. Planting non-native varieties can actually be bad for the monarchs, because that can disrupt their migration schedules.

US Citizen?

Take a moment to protest the monstrous rule stripping away protections from our transgender friends. Protections that prevent them being denied medical care when dying of injuries.

This is important.

Anyway, I don’t mention it much here but: I do a comic called White Noise that’s about queer monsters and magic and trauma and stuff. Each page is transcribed in prose for accessibility. Chapter 9 starts today, if this sounds like something you’re into: white-noise-comic.com

CW for violence, themes of civil unrest and oppression, a lot of swearing, and some alcohol and drugs.

You know that "NASA SCREWS UP SPACESUIT SIZE OF ASTRONAUT PREVENTING FIRST ALL WOMAN SPACEWALK" story going around? Uh, yeah, no, that's not at all what happened, let me explain it:

So I am settled into my new job but I don't get paid for two weeks. My total amount for gas was 200, and my hotel was 55, which leaves me with 290 until I get paid, but that is ten dollars short of paying my car note, not speaking of any future expenses.

If anything, please boost this as a birthday present for me? My birthday is in two days! Thank you guys!

identifying with animals to cope with dysphoria is trans culture

Does anyone actually know of an MD psychiatrist who is:
1. In the Denver/Boulder/Longmont area
2. Very specifically a fully-qualified MD psychiatrist
3. Accepts Medicaid
4. Would be willing to duplicate care in terms of a gender-assessment, specifically so that I can meet my family's (unreasonable) requirements and salvage my relationship with them rather than having to do anything radical?

This is a serious question. I guess you should boost this post if you know someone who might know someone

Hey, people who bind: an online acquaintance is using costume techniques to try to build a better and much more comfortable chest binder, it looks pretty interesting.

Also she is making all her experiments public, so people can make their own. No tutorial just yet, but pictures of prototypes are online.

And she could use some financial support:

I can't get over the sign for 'trans' in ASL. It's so smooth and suave and pretty omg

It's turning your wrist/palm from down to up, moving inwards like a transformation or like a lotus over your heart. Chella in this video does it really smoothly: https://www.them.us/story/nyle-dimarco-chella-man-queer-asl
