Also if you regularly work with kids/teens I cannot stress how important it is that you know someone who's like really into lame emo junk. There was a girl my dad was working with who just flat out refused to talk to adults or anyone at all and one day I was there and I saw her wearing a homemade bracelet that had beads that said YLDNDAHFHHACYCSYCDAYDKK and since I was also once a 14 year old making niche homemade mcr merch I was like "oh my god you like dnd Audrey Hepburn Fangoria Harry Houdini and croquet you cant swim you can't dance and you dont know karate!!!" and she looked at me like I'd said literal magic words and now we talk about music all the time

hello again (bill clinton limewire voice) my fellow americans

There are a few states that actually have Shield/Refuge laws designed to help trans people fleeing from trans-unsafe states, which also guarantee trans folks access to healthcare. These states are:

California

Colorado

Illinois

Oregon

Vermont

Washington

Minnesota

New Mexico

Maine

Massachusetts

Rhode Island

Connecticut

Washington D.C.

Additionally, some states have "trans sanctuary" executive orders signifying safety for trans folks seeking healthcare. These states are:

Maryland

New Jersey

New York

Living as a resident in these states means you are protected by state's rights and state government to continue or begin receiving trans healthcare. These laws have been codified in their states so everything has been a-ok'd by their state governments.

Stay alive. You got this. I love you.

when I was a kid I thought the weather guy on TV controlled the weather and he was just telling us what he was gonna do for the next few days. when he said "30% chance of rain Thursday" I thought he was just guessing how likely it was he'd wake up in a rain mood that morning

"get some friends and make some hygiene kits and hand them out. Set up a meal share in a park for one month from today."

Maybe this is a dumb question, but what are these and how would someone do them? I tried to do some research and most of the results were trying to sell me products.

A Hygiene Kit is a bag of personal care supplies prepared for unhoused people. You can put together a local drive, or ask local businesses for donations, or (if you can afford it) pay for the materials yourself to make kits. If you're doing this, it doesn't always get listed but a pair of new, clean socks is a great addition to a kit. Here's some information on what's good if you're trying to put together a kit.

A meal share is just what it sounds like - food shared in a public space. Generally this is done by a group of people who will make a large shareable meal (soups and chilis are common) or a large number of bagged lunches, announce the meal share ahead of the event, then hand out food until it is gone. The people who have the most experience doing this is Food Not Bombs, and if you can't plan on a share of your own, there may be a FNB group in your area that you can help. FNB advocates very specifically for vegan meal shares, but keep in mind the tastes and nutritional needs of the people you'll be sharing with. You can also use donated food or do a food drive for this type of event. In some places, it is illegal to do meal shares. You should do them anyway.
