And... you get to interact with more people when you wear it, or say less when you have to use public bathrooms! But even better, someone needs the support of your visibility in the world.

Just go here to purchase it!

TRANS PEOPLE ARE EVERYWHERE!

OMG! It's real. Like forever since the beginning of PEOPLE!
Happy Trans Day of Visibility!

I made this design for myself and now you can have it also, and it'll help not just one trans person, but a whole household of LGBTQIA disabled adults!

Ah wait. More detail. At least there are a few things that remain but it feels like shitty pay for accommodation like many others now. Take the heart logo away already!

Well I must say their points are more useful for flights, and you can change a flight/ cancel up to ten minutes before takeoff 🫨 so it’s super easy to book and rebook with credit card points all the time.

It’s disappointing but also isn’t it one free bag instead of two?

One of these created spaces is Jungle Cirque- an LGBTQIA+ circus retreat.
July 6-11 2025 in Costa Rica
The link is in my bio.
Discounts and scholarships are listed on the site!

So play and dance through this life. amidst the work and the grief there’s also levity. If we don’t create it who will?

without competition, without ableism, and definitely with a slowness, with grace to see the whole person, in their sovereignty and autonomy, in their authentic flow. Perfect as they are, just in the moment.

As queer people, we have had to learn to make our spaces, families, communities.

So I’ve made my own island, my own little families and communities, and I’m continually making spaces for my people to gather round me where I feel free and alive, and hopefully where they can as well. I want the diversity that others bring, but I want it without starvation mindsets,

I find myself often in between, where I have to navigate across worlds to get what I need, but never really finding rest in any of them for long.

Always trying to create spaces where I feel free. Where others can feel free. I doubt that people around me understand that I have had a lifelong plight around self expression and communication, but I know all of us know the endless urge to create and communicate and be seen.

I’ve been in 3 countries this month and a quick call to the passport office will actually get you more information then reading a bunch of stuff from social media that is not specific to your case. There are options for temporary passports with a change and you don’t have to send your old passport.

Request for Fee Waiver Use this form to request a fee waiverΒ (or submit a written request) for certain immigration forms and services based on a demonstrated inability to pay.

Here’s a waiver for free passports for people who don’t have the cash

I think anyone can get a passport through and renewed right now unless you are seeking a specific type of change that is not reflected on your other documents. in fact, there is also a waiver if you would like to get your passport for free.

-= We hoped we never had to do this but here we are and we now have to do this. =-

American trans humans are under threat and like in 1930s Germany, they now have to GTFO of their home country.

We have decided we need to collect some information on the possible ways out.

So we made a wiki.

I’m testing a new warmer liner material for my fur snowboard jackets that I make today at @whistlerblackcomb because it’s 0 degrees and snowing (Fahrenheit y’all)

I love the Atlanta airport. If you haven’t traveled much, believe me, this is a fast airport. The best part? The culture and the arts that are presented while you’re here. I’m also listening to an amazing deep cuts funk playlist while eating gravy and biscuits. Not bad.

Can’t remember a different time tbh. Somehow humans never get over the need to exterminate anyone different than them.

Im an aerialist but I’d never consider it sport! It’s a performing art/ dance style😬
