Keshet and the Hebrew Free Loan Society have an interest free loan program to help LGBTQ people who need to move out of red states with loans of up to $10k. You do not need to be Jewish. However this is a loan and not a grant. www.keshetonline.org/movetothrive/

After 1.5y in bed, i had my first social outing a couple of weeks ago. I went to see one of my favourite comedians, Ashley Gavin, and had a blast. I figured for a first outing, wearing something plain and understated was a good idea. Nailed it. #mecfs
The lovely Ashley Gavin is crouched beside me, with a line of people behind us. She's wearing a white baseball cap (backwards, obviously), a pale green tshirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers. I'm wearing a very plain and understated bright pink sparkly dress, with voluminous ruffles. It's basically camoflague.

For #WorldSparrowDay, Drew Lanham Joy is the last song, drifting in as dark curtains fall; the sparrow’s vesper offering... in pine-templed woods, requiem in me-minor— church in a cathedral time built. No stained glass. No pulpit. Altars everywhere. Just listen. Just look. #birds #poetry #nature 🌿
A brown, white-crowned sparrow on a twig, with orange beak and dark eye line. Seen from the back, looking right, slightly windblown. The words are from Drew Lanham's wonderful Joy is the Justice We Give Ourselves.

Some fun facts: only half of US citizens have passports. Almost 10% either don’t have, or can’t access, their birth certificates. We don’t carry our passports to prove ID or age; most people carry driver’s licenses for that. In several states you don’t need to prove legal residency to get those.

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.

STOP asking your patients who are wearing masks if they'd like you to wear one. Just put one on. It's exhausting, it's an uneven power dynamic. Disabled people are tired. You should still be wearing a respirator in clinic anyway. #NEISvoid #MedSky
