Trans PoC asking for help, Boosts OK 

Hey, so I figured out that I don't need to feel bad about using the internet for its intended purpose: the sharing of information.

So, here's my asks to Trans PoC Masto:

1: How much did it cost you for facial hair removal, and what sort of procedure worked for you? Laser, electro, chemical, or do you just shave constantly?

2: What're your wig recommendations? This is new territory for me and I need more intel.

3: Does anyone have a good resource on reversing or treating going bald? Wigs are a pain in the ass, and not the most comfortable yet for me.

4. Can you share some starter makeup tutorials?

It’s dry enough out that, while watering the backyard, a hummingbird flew down to chase droplets in the air for a drink.

I now feel blessed by the tiny birb. 💜

Update: that was a very scary number. 😶

My celebration for paying off the thing was Subway, because somehow, I hadn’t yet had lunch.

pol, cult ideologies primer, birdsite link 

Useful thread on cult ideologies. While its examples are from uspol, this is an accessible read on how cults work, how they structure their dependencies, and how to recognize their recruitment practices:

(This now fits into an entire genre of writings and videos on the subject, but this one is quite good.)

[1/3] Seattle Area PSA: Trans Pride Safety Bulletin (cw: white nationalists) 

There's a Trump rally scheduled at the same time as Seattle Trans Pride, likely intending to disrupt the event.
Here's the info I've found:

• They're likely meeting at 4th and Columbia downtown & will march from there

• The hosting group has connections with known white nationalist movements

• The Gender Justice League is aware of this and is requesting donations for additional private security for Seattle Trans Pride

[2/3] Seattle Area PSA: Trans Pride Safety Bulletin (cw: white nationalists) 

WHAT CAN WE DO?

• DO attend the event with friends and stick together!

• DO NOT engage the fascists (while they're in a group).

• DO NOT call the police to ask for their help. The SPD is NOT an ally of the transgender community and is not welcome at Trans Pride. Instead, the Gender Justice League has asked for donations to cover the costs of additional private security.

* DO donate here:

Welp, I guess I’m paying this off earlier than I’d planned this year.

We’re pretty sure a raven has moved in with our local crow population. They seem pretty chill around our local crows, too, and vice versa.

This tiny friend decided to web around my work monitor this morning (they’ve since been politely moved outside to the garden):
