He was like the flip side of Huell. Someone who saw the sadness and loneliness in the little corners of rural California.
Kaleb Horton was an incredible writer with each new piece appointment reading, but I personally was so inspired by his photography. I had an album of his photos saved on my phone that I’d use as inspiration when writing myself. I needed him to put out that book.

we need to fight for trans youth on every front
through the courts and legislation, by supplying hormones directly, by dispelling the idea of "passing", by showing the rich and valued lives of those who transitioned post-puberty, by celebrating transness
we need to help them survive no matter what

Many of you might be interested in organizing LUNCH at work.
LUNCH is actually a lot easier than you may think. You can in fact do it right now, especially if you find yourself suddenly having fewer coworkers to invite out to LUNCH.
Others who have gone for LUNCH are very happy to advise

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people
