Have you already downloaded your copy of Transgender Victoria's 'Being Valued - Preventing Gendered Violence Impacting LGBTIQA+ People at Work' guide?

"Trans women for women’s rights"

(Some women may have a problem with trans women. The trans women I know will still fight for the rights of all women.)

Oh my gosh, yes. Hideous cultural insensitiveies. Around the same time us whities were being taught about 'piccaninnies'.

March has been a bit of a wipe-out for me, as the world noted it's been 5 years since COVID-19 hit us: I 'celebrated' by catching it for the first time.

Lost my taste and smell, lucky I live in Australia where I got access to antivirals. I'm 2 weeks in and still have a strong 2nd line, damn it.

That's certainly how I've felt, having COVID for most of it.

Further to the gallery-going folk I drew individually, here they are, added to an art gallery pic. (An exhibition of my own work, LOL). Thanks to @setkenofmelbourne.bsky.social for the suggestion of making my works blend in with the black and white as well. Hope you enjoy.

I drew all of the gallery-going folk individually before cutting out their backgrounds and adding to an art gallery pic separately (which I'll post later). I can't help myself, I'm drawn (literally) to folks looking at art as much as to the art itself.

"Damn it sir! No matter what we throw at them - these communities are just too resilient!"

As tiring as it is, we are, and we will be. (Note queer communities having the back of trans communities)

Teddy Cook  (He/Him) is a hero to many in our communities. LGBTQ+ & trans health/rights aficionado, advisor, advocate, researcher, and health policy specialist only begins to cover the work he has done in creating resources and guidance that is trusted and referred to right across the world.

"Anastasia- still fab"
It's been a hard week for many this week in our community. I want to say a special shout out to friend-to-many Anastasia Rose Le, who was also dealing with bad COVID and lost her beloved grandmother.
You're still a glamorous inspiration sweetheart, and so precious, take care.

'Extreme weather events'
by Kenton Penley

As we watched the unseasonal fires burn through LA, here Down Under in Melbourne's summer, we suddenly found ourselves deep underwater, with half the monthly rainfall falling in half an hour.
