PSA for anyone with an #Amazon #Kindle or even just any #kindlebooks , they are about to permanently remove the ability to download books to your computer. Your last day to use this functionality is February 26, 2025, so you have about a week. There are no easy ways to grab it all at once, but it's worth it to me to be able to access my 500+ #ebooks so I'm clicking on them one by one anyway. Amazon has been very quiet about it, so spread the word.

That trans girl that you follow, the one that you see as amazing and cool and goals? The one that seems to have a ton of friends and followers? She's just a normal girl, with normal feelings and, more importantly, normal hidden struggles. Your interactions and kind words might actually make her day when she's feeling down, or insecure, or feeling the pressure of social interactions due to any number of things. Remember, there's always just a normal girl behind that screen. ​​
