Cis people telling trans folks to leave a country that is criminalizing being trans are a part of that country's genocidal project.

Cis people, actually *do something* to make trans folks safer at home. Put in money, time, and action.

Trans folks, do whatever you need to to stay safe and healthy.

My first StampFans postcard illustration, titled "Grandpa's Garden", is a small remembrance of my grandfather and the beautiful garden he grew.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.

We've already funded this first two stretch goals - unlocking one more frame and two more scene options!
