We got there! Together, we raised over $564,000 for @translifeline.bsky.social. 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans rights are human rights and all are deserving of equality and love. To everyone who was a part of this, from myself, @goberthicks.bsky.social, and all of us here at Tolarian Community College: THANK YOU. 💙💜🤍

Watching this all play out in real time is just...man, I don't even have the fucking words. Shit is fucking scary and they're trying to erase trans people from history. WE'RE FUCKING HERE.

this is a great start. and the energy of being a part of this helps offset that sense of doom and isolation. but just standing around outside and yelling putters out after a while. at any case, glad it's started.

Trump’s latest EO sets the groundwork to outlaw gender affirming care for adults and he’s been in office for less than 10 days. I need you to be angry about this. I need you to care for your trans friends. I need you to hear me when I tell you how bad this is.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

I'm using this boom in engagement here to remind everyone that WNC is still NOT okay. I drove on a road previously closed where the water was over 12 ft high. This is the leftover damage and devastation. Please keep donating to relief funds. Asheville still needs help.
