Writing battle announcement post with three prompt cards: Adventure, gardener, lipstick, with illustrations for each. The illustration for adventure is a wooden mask with a ribbon and leaves covering it. The illustration for gardener is a man in a robe and brown hat looking at a bush with yellow flowers. The illustration for lipstick is a red lipstick in a black case. The text below reads "Flowers for the Apocalypse" "Congratulations! Your story is headed to the final showdown!". The writing battle logo is underneath.

A circular illustration of 19 colorful different species of invertebrates across various phyla (arthropods, cnidarians, echinoderms, sponges, mollusks, annelids, flatworms). Black arching text surrounding them reads “Celebrate Invertebrate Biodiversity”. They are illustrated on a light blue background.

Happy #Invertefest! Celebrate invertebrate biodiversity 🐛💕

Two valley carpenter bees side by side, the one on the left is colored like a typical male with orange fuzz and green eyes, and the female on the right colored so black that it is hard to distinguish any features. Speech bubble from the left bee reads, "Hi, I'm Sunny B and this is my wife, VOID"

Mermaids Website Helping gender-diverse kids, young people and their families since 1995

Two other groups that work really hard for trans people and their loved ones (as I can attest from personal experience) are Mermaids and Gendered Intelligence, and they could both use donations:

It's trans day of visibility! Transness has been made very scarily visible over the last few years but through a warped and harmful filter of politics and media. Today, I hope that visibility might be more human and that cis allies might be inspired to do something about it.
