For those w/ social anxiety, calling this late at night means there's virtually no chance you have to worry about talking to an actual person. Take your time, write out what you want to say, call, read your script, and hang up.
If that's too much, all reps and senators have contact forms. Use them.

If you call now, you'll get an answering machine and you can leave a message. A great thing to do if you're nervous about talking to someone. Just give your name, your zip code, and demand they impeach Trump for illegally invading Venezuela.

Here's a thread about how trans people can approach remaining informed of the news in a way that prioritizes pragmatism, self-care, and building resistance.
It's based on what I'm doing personally. So, fyi, I'm more anxious than usual, but holding up substantially.

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so.

I am getting multiple reports that the Trump admin is NOT complying with the court order requiring passport updates for transgender people.
Some passport agencies are being told not to give trans people passports with their correct gender marker, for now.

It's cruel. It's an incredible escalation of their anti-trans culture war. And there is still a chance to stop the provision in the Senate, so if you have a trans person in your life you care about, I implore you - make your voice heard with your Senators. Both of them. Republican OR Democrat.

Some tips as someone who loves food, has a bunch of health-related food restrictions, and has been food insecure for ~3 years
1. If you can afford it, a Costco membership is the best possible investment in not starving. $5 rotisserie chicken + bulk frozen vegetables have gotten me through so much.

Earnestly cried about this bird the other day. “To find humanity, simply look for healed bones and toys.”
4) 2400 years ago, one Scythian wanted a plush bird toy and someone painstakingly made them one by hand out of three different colors of reindeer fur and felt, with contrast stitching. I think people will always do these things for each other. (Apparently Scythians loved plushies? Bitches, man.)
