danah boyd's piece from 2014 has always been facinating to me, but relating it to my own experiences around transitioning and the ways that I have percevied depth just feels like a lot of gender validation for me :)
For my birthday I’m running a fundraiser for Trans Lifeline. At this time we’ve raised over $2,000 on Facebook and if we include people who directly donated at TransLifeline.org we’ve raised over $3,900! Support the fundraiser while you can because the fundraiser ends January 30th. (You can donate to Trans Lifeline directly anytime!)
Watching Maddy find themself has been a joy, and reading about how Celeste developed with them is great.
Thanks to @cokeypuffss for spreading this employee benefit from Discord. This money would not last long even if you didn’t use it for surgery but it’s a huge help for trans people since insurance and medical care can be horrifyingly bad.
A delightful and emotional visual novel. I haven’t finished it yet, but the opening sure was A LOT.
This post is nearly five years old and yet still as relevant as ever, as Facebook still does not like that queer people use their website. This doesn't stop fake accounts or harassment, obviously. The alt-right trolls still attack people daily and use the site to plan attacks on innocent people.
npckc is probably one of my favorite indie game creators. npckc rose to popularity with this game about taking your trans friend to a onsen, and it’s just so good.
I can’t stop thinking about this tweet from Sofie Halili on Twitter showing Starbuck’s full list of benefits for people working 20 or more hours a week. The insurance comapnies might still deny it, but I wish my job offered this!
