Friends, I have £1,000 that I want to donate to a UK trans support charity.

I've donated in the past, but I was hoping someone (with experience) could recommend a charity that they think would benefit from the donation (and helped you in some way).

It's a single donation to make a greater impact.

Spent the last day or so experimenting with live design system component tracking and it’s been a refreshing change of pace 😌

I think Cally is now pretty much feature complete. I'll aim for an actual v1 release next. There will be a single breaking change: using ISO standard for weekday numbering, instead of whatever the hell JS Dates were doing

Alive internet theory
With this piece of bread on the ground in Ottawa, Canada and the one below in Perth, Australia, @drstip.bsky.social and I have successfully created an Earth sandwich.

The hot dog vs sandwich debate is concluded.

If the Earth is sandwiched, everything is a sandwich.

HAPPY EARTH SANDWICH DAY!
