I'm getting bottom surgery on December 9, two months from today!!! I've started a GoFundMe to help with recovery costs (including travel costs for my girlfriend, who'll be my primary caregiver during that time, and general living costs). Please help if you can! www.gofundme.com/f/support-lu...

I wrote something. On Hiking is ostensibly seven thousand words about walks in the mountains and summer plans, but really it's about ambition and confidence and regret and depression, plus the fear of running out of time to enjoy that which is beautiful. www.patreon.com/Paullicino/p...

I have the automated staggered goals set up (final goal is $2.5k) but $1k is definitely enough to make it happen if I put some on my credit card, and it's wild and humbling and wonderful that it's moving so fast 😭😭😭 I'm so incredibly grateful to be a part of my communities (trans & Minneapolis)

My name is Charlie “Chuck” St. Dennis, and I’m asking that you write me in on your ballot this November. I don’t have experience as a law enforcement officer, nor am I old enough to file to run. Those are two things that Bob has that I don’t.

the worst of the recovery will be the first two weeks, but most people take 1.5-3 months off work for this procedure, so i'll really appreciate help in the couple months following December 9

Today, I resigned as Vice Chair of the ODP Pride Caucus. The state party expects us to be a sales team, censoring our voices when we beg candidates not to trade on trans lives. I am still a Democrat, but I will not value party approval over true, defiant advocacy. Full text below. 👇

Part 1 of an open letter of resignation by Arienne Childrey, stepping down as Vice Chair and member of the Ohio Democratic Party (ODP) Pride Caucus. She states that party leadership treats the caucus as a recruitment and sales team rather than a representative body. She cites an incident where the ODP censored and denied permission for the caucus to post a letter by two trans leaders addressing harmful comments made by Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton. The State Party Chair reportedly called the letter an "unwelcome distraction," which Childrey notes demonstrates how little party leadership values the voices and dignity of LGBTQ+ Democrats.

Since that decision, every Caucus plan, every potential post, and every path forward has been filtered through a lens of strict compliance and ODP approval. That may very well be the party's rule, but following those rules right now is a dereliction of our duty to the LGBTQ+ community.

For me, any rule that silences advocacy for the trans community during this time is an unjust rule, and I see no obligation to follow it. In alignment with the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in his Letter from Birmingham Jail:

“One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”

We are living in incredibly dangerous times for the trans community. We are in an era where the GOP has so thoroughly weaponized trans lives that even some formerly self-professing allies within our own party have fallen prey to the rhetoric. Looking at the national trend towards Democratic anti-trans triangulation, as well as our own internal conversations, it is clear to me that this shift is much more than a simple coincidence.

We have to speak up—loudly, strongly, and unapologetically—or I fear what our 2028 choices may look like. The ODP would like everyone to believe they are a "big tent" party. However, their successful efforts to silence even the Pride Caucus—even in cases where we are simply begging our candidates not to trade on our lives for perceived electoral advantage—has proven otherwise. The tent hasn't gotten any bigger; it has simply shifted, leaving many trans individuals, progressives, and allies out in the rain.

I will continue to advocate, organize, and fight for our community with everything I have. But I can no longer compromise my own moral principles by remaining part of a caucus that appears more interested in party approval than in true, defiant advocacy.

Sincerely,
Arienne Childrey

Please help. People's needs always increase this time of year but this year is even greater than usual, and when we run out of tents people are sleeping unsheltered. Finances are tight for everyone but how far are any of us from homelessness?

Weeknight drop-ins have tripled we are tired and out of money. Please donate via the links in our bio so we can continue to support unhoused people.

We cannot keep up with the demand caused by current situations in both Minneapolis and St. Paul, we need financial support.

$18K would allow us to give out additional $0.10 weekly (tent tarp sleeping bag hygiene kit undies) per week through February.

I think cis people do not understand that when we say “this will harm trans people” it’s because we are in communities that is constantly doing collective suicide watch for each other, and most of us know multiple people that did not make it. if we say “this will harm kids” we mean “kids will die”

I was expressing frustration to a neighbor last night, about the long-term nature of some of the projects I’m organizing. She reminded me of the simplicity of handing a warm meal to someone that’s hungry. Community Kitchen has been quietly doing this for years. They always need money & helpers.

no it's not a fucking secret trans girl essence. many trans girls as children are incredibly obviously trans. the people abusing them may not know that's what's going on they may not have a word for it but they can see something is going on.

I think an example that came up a few years ago and comes up every so often ever since is that thing where a lot of trans women say that someone tried to drown them as children. I feel like that's pretty distinct.

This is what has happened with Labour in the UK. Most people don't believe that Labour could be transphobic - they aren't the Tories or Reform after all - and refuse to see it, and they are the most transphobic government of my life. So much harder to fight against, so much more damage done.
