Queer trans health and wellness for people who care. well.beings.news
I'm doing research for an article about post-op care for folks who have travelled for gender-affirming surgery, and I would love to include the perspective of some other trans folks beside myself. (I travelled out of state but recovered there for 2 weeks after.)

Reposting over and over until y'all wake up because Rebeka's life is worth way, way more than the $2500 they need for cancer treatment ‼️
Days go by & everyone keeps scrolling past their posts.

Rebeka is a Black queer cancer patient who needs less than $2500 to get lifesaving treatment!!!
The radiation therapy they need is almost $40K, but thanks to their doctor, $31K has been covered already!!
Can we please work together to make this happen for them?

If there is actually a correlation between using painkillers during pregnancy and autism, you know what I bet it is? There is a known correlation between autism and hypermobility, and I can only imagine that being hypermobile and pregnant fucking hurts.

After a week of "creators need to get paid" and "get dark money out of the news" in the zeitgeist, this Back Indie Media drive timing is perfect. Well Beings News does not have any outside funding. I rely on subscribers to cover costs and hopefully someday soon, pay myself for this important work.
Today we're launching the BACK INDIE MEDIA DRIVE.
It's all cool and fun to like, read, watch indie media, but how about funding it with your cash money? That's what we're banding together to do. All through September.
