If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

have you signed up yet?

Check out these upcoming workshops and events on writing, cooking, history, audio editing, and more. All proceeds help Palestinians in Gaza. www.workshops4gaza.com/workshops

Hello internet friends! My art exhibit will end March 1 & I am ISO other galleries to display my collaborative art work. If you work with a gallery (esp Midwest) interested in displaying photography, video & mixed media collage work focused on pleasure, disability, fatness & Black joy, let me know!

Outreach is hiring a bilingual HIV specialist (a position not funded by federal grants so not impacted by any of those shenanigans). Please pass along to anyone who might be a good fit! www.outreachmadisonlgbt.org/careers?fbcl...

I hear preorders of Larks are shipping now! 📚💙

Each day this week, I am doing a thread to signal boost creators that are being targeted for marginalization by jerks. If you are a creator with a disability, please post below and include a link/sample of your work. You DO NOT have to disclose your disability! Support these folks, everyone!

For #BlackHistoryMonth we're offering 40% OFF Haymarket Books on the Struggle for Black Liberation

Submissions are open!! I'd love the opportunity to read your work!

Calling poetry lovers and lovers of other worlds!! Next Sunday, Feb 9th, we welcome Tracy Fuad, who will be teaching a workshop called "Poetics of Incantation." www.workshops4gaza.com/calendar/poe...

There's one more week to apply as a workshop facilitator, exhibitor and volunteer at the Black Zine fair in May. Applications are due on 2/8 - docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I know that Trans Youth Emergency Project could use donations. Perhaps they even need some volunteers. southernequality.org/tyep/

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable. This effort's housed by a donation-funded nonprofit, not a branch of the US government. blog.archive.org/2024/05/08/e...

Opportunity you can support from home... "Join in transcribing the powerful and often overlooked voices of incarcerated writers. Illuminate their stories and reveal the complexities of their experiences within the criminal legal system." thejusticeartscoalition.org/2025/01/30/w...

Cis allies of trans people can certainly speak up louder right now. Trans rights are human rights. Donald Trump and the GOP are hot garbage and can get fucked. They will not win. Elevate trans voices, be there for your trans friends, use your cis privilege to help in any way that you can.

We're open just TWO MORE DAYS!! Submit your full length manuscript by 11:59pm Friday night to be considered for the 2025/2026 lineup! Guidelines: riotinyourthroat.com/contact-subm...

Hello, all. In a time where everything is so much for so many people, I feel guilty asking but my family and I are in need of help. Even if it is a signal boost, any help is appreciated. I love you all, and I hope you are all safe. gofund.me/980022e5

Call for Work: Until You Get Here, Queer Epistolaries Deadline: March 15, 2025 "Queer folks have been keeping each other company on the page for as long as we’ve existed—to practice solidarity, extend generosity, resist, wonder, flirt..." medium.com/anomalyblog/...

If you’re in the US and you’d like to know what projects and vital services federal grants currently fund in your state, you can search here: www.usaspending.gov And you can find the contact information for your elected representatives here: www.usa.gov/elected-offi... They need to hear from you.

Also want to say a bit about why things like removing accessibility page, ASL, and screen reading capabilities from the White House website matter. It feels performative, and it is. It's a coordinated effort to shift cultural norms.

The administration took down the reproductive rights website that women need access to. So The Skimm bought a url and brought the content back. Pass this on! Go to reproductiverightsdotgov.com

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚 Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏

& the time to support marginalized authors (buying their books, reviewing their books, showing up to their events) is NOW !

I’m feeling helpless and overwhelmed so I’m gonna start a running thread of tangible things I’m doing that are not doom-scrolling. Nothing feels like enough but maybe seeing the small things add up will help—for me/for anyone who wants to join me:

Join W4G for a workshop on collaging as a way of building anew out of the existing, as world-building practice. This Thursday, Jan 23 is "Collaging Possibility and Futurity by Motyko Morales and Ayling Ulema Dominguez" to benefit the Sameer Project. Register: www.workshops4gaza.com/calendar/col...

From @thesameerproject about the situation in Jabalia camp. No other orgs present. Please donate to allow them to do their work and follow them on IG: chuffed.org/project/help...

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

We need to highlight Black people who have suffered loss during these LA fires. Please please share this "Displaced Black Families" document and donate if you can!!!!! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

can't stop thinking about this little (vast) poem

All Los Angeles Public Library locations are providing free N95 masks. Libraries are essential!

We close on February 1! Please let us read those gorgeous words!

This is just devastating Y’all Altadena was one of the few areas African-Americans could buy in during the redlining era Whole neighborhoods of black equity and wealth gone

If you're relatively safe right now & want to do something constructive, leave a comment in favor. The subminimum wage is one of the (many) things that keeps people with disabilities poor. As with all federal comments, expertise (from experience, study, or both) helps but isn't required.
