We just packed up hundreds of whistles for trainings in heavily immigrant communities this week.

Help us out via Venmo, or by placing an order via DM
We are committed to cost not being a barrier, especially to our most impacted communities - but we need your help.

Can you help us cover the costs? Venmo @mspwhistles

I happened to be in the audience for the Colbert taping last night where @warren.senate.gov called out David Ellison *by name* and I'm honestly shocked it wasn't edited out. We love to see it.

My hypermobile kid turned their ankle yesterday. It hurt a lot, enough to make them pause and breathe even though they are stoic as hell. ATM they are at school wearing an otc brace and taking ibuprofen. After school should I take them to urgent care? And if so, ortho urgent care or regular?

Semiannual reminder that if the holidays are reminding you that you want to help your neighbors, pick a day and put it on your calendar. My homeless friends have told me that they could eat 30 free meals on Thanksgiving if they wanted to, but mid- February or March it all dries up!

To Alice Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything

You were a hero to Asian Americans, drag queens and people with disabilities around the world. May you do what you wanna do as your chariot carries you over the rainbow.

The below from qospress is not Freddie’s work; here’s a typical example. I don’t think this one was a Tiptree t-shirt.

I have a series of new glass mini wreaths in the shop. They're gorgeous on Christmas trees but also look great as wall hangings. $50.

I'm going to be adding more new stuff over the next few days as my health allows and will give 10% of this weekend's sales to the Roadrunner Food Bank.

I hate being right.
1. The Trump administration has just quietly updated the State Department website to indicate that it may invalidate transgender people's passports.

This comes a week after a SCOTUS ruling blocking lower rulings allowing trans people to update them.

To the two well-respected local SF/F community leaders who each told a teenage child of a friend of mine, "I can't wait for you to turn 18, I'll be waiting for you," I know your names you fucking shitty-ass pedo bastards, and I *remember*.
I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

She's too sick to go anywhere, and her medical trauma is far too severe for a hospital to be an option. We need to raise about $100 a day to keep her in the hotel. Please do everything you can, up to and including badgering friends and relatives. I'm barely holding off panic.
We got her into a hotel, but we don't have enough to keep her there long without hope. She's in extremely dire shape.

Please share, & give what you can. PayPal: madeleinewedemeijer@gmail.com

🚨Azine is in multi organ failure, especially her kidneys. She's unlikely to live much longer.

I don't want her to die in an unheated squat with no running water.

Please help me get her into a hotel or airbnb? She hasn't had heat or running water in weeks, severely exacerbating her medical issues.

The 84th World Science Fiction Convention isn't all Anaheim has to offer for visitors!

For example, did you know that the city also has an entire amusement park themed around Walt Disney movies?

It's one of the area's hidden gems!
