Posting to keep handy. My blood disorder keeps me masking in indoor public places. It does impact my life, but not what is most important to me. If you see a mask, you see someone making sacrifices to go against the grain. They always have a reason, + it’s more important than anybody’s judgement.

You should get a library card if you don’t have one already. Then get the apps Libby and Hoopla. There you can download audiobooks and ebooks. So even if you don’t go to your local library a lot, you can still support them and the authors you love.

Motivates me to pick up the phone every time.

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue.
TWENTY.
As in, they call that getting slammed.
So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind.

The Institute was founded by Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld. Its community clinic pioneered healthcare for queer, trans, & intersex people.
