The 12th(!) Gender Reveal grant cycle is now open for applications! As always, these funds are for organizing / community projects led by trans people of color.
We are particularly interested in funding existing projects that materially support trans folks, queer people of color, immigrants, etc.

I’m disturbed when I hear people I respect say, “our real problem is polarization.” No, it’s not. @jamellebouie.net nails it in this video.
Forget about "polarization"; the real problem with American politics is the radicalized right-wing

Okay. So here's what I know
- I lost my day job.
- I hated my day job.
- I liked having a lot of money and health insurance.
- But a lot of money never made me happier, I just owned more stuff.
- I do still need health insurance.
- I'm really fucking good at lettering comic books.

The morning was misty with light rain. The exit hike followed a path on the river, in an old-growth forest.
The last section included duckboards on a bog. The rising sun hovered over the tree tops, light shining through the mist.
