Hard to believe that the racing season at this track is almost done. Think I’m gonna miss these towers a little bit during the off-season (though probably not the multiple straight up ladder climbs a day… good leg workout though) but I’m not slowing down. Football season next and then AGDQ!

Trans Lifeline @translifeline.org · 26/06/2026

Allyship is more than a label. It's a practice. If you're wondering how to support trans people this Pride Month, start with action: learn, speak up, share resources, and support trans-led care. heyimtrans.com/allies translifeline.org/donate 🏳️‍⚧️💗

Graphic with a black background, turquoise and pink accents. Large turquoise text reads: "Educate Yourself." Smaller text reads: "You don't have to be an expert on all things trans, but the more you learn, the more empowered you'll feel to talk about it and educate others. Being an ally is more than a label. It's an ongoing practice of learning how to better support trans people." A resource link is provided: heyimtrans.com/allies.

Graphic with a black background, turquoise and pink accents. Large turquoise text reads: "Speak Up and Speak Out." Smaller text encourages people to challenge transphobic comments, correct misinformation and incorrect pronoun usage, advocate for trans rights even when trans people are not present, and take further action by signing petitions, contacting lawmakers, and supporting organizations fighting for trans rights.

Graphic with a black background, turquoise and pink accents. Large turquoise text reads: "Respect Trans People." Smaller text encourages people to use the correct names and pronouns, ask respectfully if they are unsure, avoid using a person's former name, respect boundaries, avoid invasive questions, and learn more at heyimtrans.com/allies.

Graphic with a black background, turquoise and pink accents. Large turquoise text reads: "Turn Allyship Into Action."

AGDQ 2025. It was the first time I was able to go for a full week, and I really feel like I got to see the “GDQ Experience” for lack of a better word for the first time. Was also my first time getting a run in, and I got to meet a ton of my online friends IRL from my game’s community. (More below)
