soup town! soup town!

We’re Building the Green Pages.

Han and I are putting together a Green Pages–style directory for trans people across major U.S. cities.

The goal is simple: as more trans people are forced to move, flee, relocate, or start over, we need more than vague advice and “move to a blue city” hand-waving. We need real information. Which cities are actually survivable. Which towns have enough population, infrastructure, and community to make a new life possible. Which businesses are safe. Which clinics, bookstores, bars, cafés, mutual aid groups, salons, shelters, community spaces, and local networks are worth knowing about before someone arrives with two bags and a nervous system held together by spite.

We are currently gathering resources for major U.S. cities and surrounding towns.

If you have solid information about your city, your region, or a place you have lived, send it our way. We will be organizing, checking, and cataloging it as carefully as possible.

Today is my birthday 🌱

I will be grateful for the repost ~

And while that is obviously horrifying to me, I think people ho are still in deep denial can sort of pretend to themselves that there must have been a very big battle there, or a massive fire, or one really big bomb. The 'oh we were fighting Hamas/Hezbollah' bullshit can somehow be wielded to stay in that deep denial.

So I think they should be showing more shit like this:

i'm a big sucker for a diegetic piece of art/literature serving as a mirror to the story's characters, so naturally the illustration of the poem about a silverleaf tree falling in love with a star from chapter 47 of WHA *had* to be redrawn as Qifrey and Oru ✨🍃

tip jar!

aaand a rotated version under the cut for easier Oru appreciation!

they show up in court and just ask the lawyer for the collection company: can you prove where this number comes from? Do you have a contract showing that you purchased our debt? probably luckily for them, a reporter researching a book on the topic showed up and asked the same questions.

10 minutes later they get in front of the judge and the collection company drops the whole case and theyre free to go. story is below, it has a transcript in the link too

This sick bleach shirt I made. Something to showcase my undying love for prehistoric cave art.
