They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.
GO DONATE.

i really can not emphasize enough that the most materially impactful thing you can do for trans people right now is hire them.
They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
Update: Internet won’t be restored until at least 10:30. Gonna have to cancel the stream tonight. Sorry buds ☹️
Wow, I’m shocked this worked! I’ve been getting error messages on Instagram and Twitch for an hour. Go Bluesky!
Stream friends! My neighborhood is experiencing an internet outage and we have very little cell service. I’m trying to get online for tonight’s stream, but it may not happen until 7:30 PM EST. I’ll go live as soon as I can!
a stat i always cite is the number of anti-trans articles in the press went from 60 in a year, to 7,500
As if the Olympic Opening Ceremony and the Super Bowl happening in the same weekend wasn’t enough, that Friday is also the scheduled launch date for Artemis II. So many feats of humanity packed into one weekend, dang. Mark your calendars for February 6-8.

Hello hellscape newsfeed, if you ever need a brief respite from the horrors™, I host a cozy li'l crafting stream every Monday at 6 PM EST. It's like escaping into a virtual pillow fort to do arts and crafts with your buddies. Last night I made wax seals for thank you cards! twitch.tv./jackisnotabird
A photo of a cross-stitch hoop with a half-completed project showing the Emerald City. The hoop is sitting on top of a pop-up Wizard of Oz book, open to an Emerald City spread.
Going live in an hour to continue stitching the Emerald City! Bring a project to co-craft or just join for a cozy break from the madness. twitch.tv/jackisnotabird
It is easy to imagine the Journal, the Times, and the Post as three nervous suburbanites on a day trip to New York City: purses clutched tight to their sides, their hands grasping pepper spray as they descend into the threatening depths of the Times Square subway station, vigilant to the possibility of an attack from a homeless person. These types of visitors, their view of the city shaped by too many urban crime dramas, are common. We welcome them. We do our best to soothe their fears. We even try to gently persuade them to go to Jackson Heights and try some Indian food. But we do not let them tell us how to run our city. That would be ridiculous.

I'm not even a New Yorker and this hits perfectly.
serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them
Even my home county???
😂😂😂
I am mourning my youth, Preeti.
Pour one out for everyone who thought they were still young, but suddenly became older than the mayor of new york.
I made a little history video for you to play while you get ready to head out to your Halloween festivities. Come for the theory on why gay people love Halloween, stay for the history of the holiday as a site of queer resistance. 🎃
Welp. Just found out I’m older than the invention of corn mazes so I officially feel ancient.
Just spent 45 minutes searching multiple books trying to find a photo I remembered seeing in one of them years ago, only to discover it was in the first book I checked. Except, there was no photo. The author described it so well I misremembered it as having a photo attached.
A photo of a headless horseman cross-stitch project in-progress. It has orange and black bobbins of floss and a pair of stork scissors on top of it. It’s lying amongst fallen brown and yellow leaves on the grass.
Fall is officially here and the headless horseman stitching continues at 6 PM EDT!
Come co-craft or just cleanse your mind with chill autumnal vibes for a li’l bit.

Reminder that this week’s stream has been pushed to Wednesday. See you then at 6 PM EDT!
The cook at this bar is watching the Bills game thirty seconds ahead of the delay that the bar screens are on so every time he claps I know a good play is coming up.
A photo of an old orange paperback copy of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, placed on top of an embroidery hoop featuring a work in progress in black stitching. Also on the hoop is a pair of stork embroidery scissors and a bobbin of black thread. In the corner of the photo is a sugar pie pumpkin.
Fervently reminding myself there can still be joy and calm in the world by taking breaks from the news to do silly little crafts in community with others.
Join me tonight at 6 PM EDT at twitch.tv/jackisnotabird 🎃 Bring your own project to co-craft or just join for the chill vibes.
Thanks for the reminder! Totally forgot to do mine earlier lol. And hear hear!
This is perhaps the best time to announce that that internet culture reporter has parted ways with Vox and is now open to freelancing, if anyone would like them to, oh, explain the increasing role memes and shitposts have played in extremist violence, for ex: www.vox.com/culture/2019...
It’s ok to put the phone down.
Simpsons meme of a kid of a bus with a caption that says “(chuckles) I’m in danger.”
My survival instinct to steer clear of people I’ve overheard making transphobic comments seems to have been defeated by my moderate face blindness.
Why did we wear SO much brown in 2005? Meryl Streep, explain.
An illustrated wooden sign on a yellow background. The sign read "Stitch & Chill." Text beneath the sign says, "Every Monday in September. Twitch.tv/jackisnotabird"
Going live for some cross-stitching at 6 PM EDT! Bring a project and co-craft with me or just join for the chill vibes ✌️
