I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them.

At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.

A beautiful white British shorthair cat with big blue eyes and a pink nose stares into the camera with surprise. He is lying on a mango wood desk, and then wall behind him is white.

I missed #caturday yesterday but here's a late offering of Fitzwilliam Darcy, lord of all that he surveys (and with eyes that size, he sees a LOT)

Crouton is a brown and gray tabby cat with. White face and feet, starting to yawn while waking up from his nap on the couch

BIIIIIIG yawn! (Crouton is a brown and gray tabby with white feet and face, his mouth extra wide open so you can see all this teeth)

BIIIIIIG yawn from Crouton!

Tater Tot is an orange and white tabby cat sitting in a cardboard box, looking imploringly up into the distance for the snack gods to bestow a bounty upon his poor, starving soul

Baby yearns from his box (for snacks even though he just had some)

Hey new followers, El is a friend of mine who is really struggling right now, so if you enjoyed my romance hot takes maybe consider sending a few bucks their way?

Triscuit is a brown and gray tabby cat with white feet and a white tail tip, sitting on an orange blanket, looking mildly smug (because HE had snacks already)

Triscuit hopes your #caturday is restful and full of snacks 🧡

The only thing it feels worthwhile for me to say right now is pay attention to whether your feelings & the information you’re absorbing are paralyzing you or prompting you to meaningful action, whatever that is. Paralysis helps no one but the enemy.

No coffee yet so I mistakenly read that as Pennywise and had a very WTF moment

Blackberry is a black cat laying on a chair in the kitchen, his expression long suffering as he supervises

When you’re tired but your human can’t sleep and so is baking bread at 430am and you gotta supervise

Crouton is a brown and gray tabby cat with white feet and face, folded up on top of his shark pattern blanket and fast asleep

Get some rest, like Crouton 😴🧡

🧡🧡🧡

Triscuit is a brown and gray tabby cat with white feet, looking judgmental

Triscuit has had his snackies, so he wonders: have you eaten a food today???

i'm going to ask again if you would consider my novella, The Death of Mountains (from @lethepress.bsky.social) which is on the Locus Recommended Reading List and is a finalist for the L.A. Times Book Prize.

it's pocket-sized and has a mountain that talks!

OMG NOW I WANT CHEESE

This is a fully legitimate post from a person I trust. Minneapolis-St. Paul metro is under attack, and more mutual aid is necessary, at least until the federal thugs from DC leave our province.

Furthermore, Minnesota is Canada.

SHE IS INNOCENT OF ALL CRIMES

a selfie in which I, Merc, am wearing a Friday the 13th hoodie (gray fabric with a white hockey mask and red lettering) and black mask, standing against a sunny wall

Today is an honorary #FridayThe13th, because it auspiciously falls right between the February 13th (two weeks ago) and the March 13th (two weeks from now) and thus makes me happy ^-^

(remember to be like Jason! wear a mask!)

Looking for a way to stand up for trans people today? Here's something you can do RIGHT NOW:
Take ten minutes to get on the phone and help stop this violent, dangerous bill. The linked post has all the resources you need to make that call. Go go go

Crouton is a brown and gray tabby cat with white feet and face, licking his mouth as he sits on the laptop keyboard and wrecks havoc

Crouton keeps sitting on my keyboard as I try to do stuff and has ZERO repentance for quitting my browser and searching for bizarre strings of numbers in the Finder 😅

(He didn’t manage to turn on dramatic music this time tho…)

😁

This feels like a foot-in-the-door bill--if they can pass it, then the next bans will only further expand its scope. Let's stop this campaign of trans and queer erasure here and now. Please contact your representatives to demand that they oppose this bill. www.house.gov/representati...

I can't read the article, but I'll mention two things that the graphic leaves out, carried from my old day job: 1) change hinges if you need to so that your bathroom doors open outward, not inward, so if someone falls inside you can still open the door
2)(next post)

A Nationwide Book Ban Bill Has Been Introduced in the House of Representatives Hours after the State of the Union address, House republicans introduced legislation banning LGBTQ+ books from public schools nationwide.
