Friday's one thing (+ a Dolly-inspired weekend wish)
Item 1. Freedom
The historian Jules Gill-Peterson says in an interview with them (hat tip: Ann Friedman):
"fighting for the freedom to medically transition demands a more comprehensive strategy than focusing on one single court ruling. 'It demands a bread- and- butter approach,' one that prioritizes economic security and adequate resources for all [...] There has to be a constant sense that we’re building momentum."
➡️ Donate and/or spread the word about Trans Youth Emergency Project or another of these microgrant, mutual aid, or legal support orgs.
➡️ Subscribe to them and Erin in the Morning if you haven't already.
➡️ Become a fundraiser for The Trevor Project, on your own or with a buddy, or sign up to volunteer. (Context here.)
Weekend wishes
"If anyone is making you feel like you're disposable or that your humanity can be debated, disregard that entirely. We need you here." - Sarah Kendzior (long read Q&A with Kelly Hayes, Organizing My Thoughts)
Also, have a genuine moment of delight like the one Dolly Parton appears to have here. (Instagram)
