I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community.

We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect?

Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity like anyone else.

This week’s comes from me.

I use a kindle, mainly for convenience. But also not knowing the alternatives and how they work. I don't like giving my money to Amazon.

So, can anyone give me any info on alternatives please?

Devices and ebooks and where to buy? Functionality of devices, pros/cons?

Thanks

#BIPOC voices are often missing from autistic spaces, so here is a BIPOC starter pack! 😊

The image of autism as “only white boys” leads to underdiagnosis, discrimination & isolation for many

Our autistic community is much more diverse than that! ❤️
