If you or someone you love lives in the US and needs help accessing government services, I just found the BEST WEBSITE
https://howtogeton.wordpress.com/
This site talks about how to get disability, food assistance, medical care, affordable housing, all sorts of programs you may or may not have heard of, and how to apply, and how to appeal, and how to everything! It's great!
Because apparently I have neglected to do so, here are two versions of the #QTBIPOC #Pride flag!
The license is simple:
- attribution! link to this account and tell 'em a disabled 2spirit Indigenous anarchist made it!
- all queer/trans BIPOC individuals can use (including commercially and I'll even advertise your stuff here if you tell me about it!)
- all queer/trans BIPOC orgs/groups can use (commercial if it's not the focus of the piece, otherwise permission needed)
- non-BIPOC orgs/groups if for a specific BIPOC-focused event/outreach, asking permission first
I can provide SVG versions and other formats if ever needed
voice resources for trans people on T
I'm researching this a little anyway, so I'll make this a thread of helpful resources about voice changes and voice therapy for trans men and other trans people on T.
The Good Men Project has this summary of a study of 30 trans men's voices. They found T was typically very successful at bringing the voice into the average cis male range, but other aspects of making the voice sound masculine need voice therapy.

Here's the study itself, in Scientific Reports: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-82134-2
MIT researchers have developed a portable desalination unit, weighing less than 10 kilograms, that can remove particles and salts to generate drinking water.
The suitcase-sized device, which requires less power to operate than a cell phone charger, can also be driven by a small, portable solar panel, which can be purchased online for around $50. It automatically generates drinking water that exceeds World Health Organization quality standards. The technology is packaged into a user-friendly device that runs with the push of one button.

I'm gonna share this again because I'm still in awe my hands were able to create this
