Texas AG Paxton Declares Therapists Affirming Trans Youth To Be Illegal And Child Abuse The declaration echoes his 2022 efforts to target parents of trans youth with child abuse, and may force conversion therapy on trans youth in the state.

1. This morning, Texas AG Ken Paxton just released a chilling new declaration:

Mental health therapists, counselors, and psychologists must cease affirming trans youth - using their name and pronouns - or potentially face child abuse charges and loss of licensure.

Its a horrifying escalation.

I'm sending him funds today for the first time in over a month. He's about 70 short to make this transfer worthwhile, if anyone can contribute that (I'm... out of money idk what to say)

"We are living through very difficult days…
My father is sick and urgently needs treatment.
Hunger is exhausting my family every single day.
The rain has flooded our tent, and we no longer have safe shelter.
Please, help us in any way you can — our lives are at stake. 🙏"

Heal Minds Gaza: empowering Palestinian children who were in detention Palestinian children in Israeli occupation prisons face severe psychological violence that deeply impacts their sense of safety, identity, and community after their detention. The Heal Minds Gaza…

We've got until a little after Ramadan to do something really meaningful for kids who were locked up in the occupation's prisons. Not sentences that should exist! This program will bring them workshops + more for their mental health.

Let's do it!!! chuffed.org/project/hmg

In addition to being inclusive, writing the alt text for images is fun tbh.

A pale purple graphic with the texture of linen, and an ink sketch of a purple watercolor rose. The title says "Safey for Ruaa" and is decorated with red tatreez olive leaves. The text says: "Ruaa alone provides for a family of seven, including her sick sister—she is exhausted, in pain, and reliant on strangers for help. Give this family hope for better days. Make a weekly recurring donation to stand by them every week, and lift the burden from young Ruaa's shoulders." In the corner says tinyurl.com/For-Ruaa.

From Ruaa:
We are now in the holy month of Ramadan, and my family is in urgent need of regular support and donations. Unfortunately, I am unable to stay online consistently to promote and share my campaign as I used to.

We’re back with SPARKS FOR SPARK SPACE!

The BBC’s decision to cut this section of Akinola Davies Jr’s speech when the Baftas was broadcast later in the day is shameful.

Help the Abdelwahed family survive I'm helping my friend, Akram Abdelwahed, raise funds to help his family survive.

Severe illness, a crumbling house, and lapsing education: help this family cope with mounting burdens. Akram can't be on here as much to ask for help (and he shouldn't have to ask in the first place!).

Every ounce helps: chuffed.org/project/help...

Even if I could type this, I don’t have space to describe all the survival needs of these twenty-one families.

OR how much you help.

Hit "weekly" to join over two hundred folks sustaining support. It means food, water, baby supplies, shelter, + more.

My children keep asking:
“Are we staying here, Baba?”

I want to answer with certainty.💔

We are £315 away from securing this month’s rent.
Your kindness turns uncertainty into safety. 🙏

Thank you for being part of our story.❤️
