Hey friends!
Hope you're all hanging in there. I'm trying really hard to finish this episode for you for Monday, so we're going to do a lightning round of news without the color commentary. Apologies, but also — maybe you'll like it better this way, even! Who knows?

Since our viewing of Mulan a week or two ago (what is time?), I've been collecting gay & trans Mulan memes. Send them my way if you've got any!

Hey friends,
I was technically one newsletter behind, and even though I'm sure nobody was counting, I'm making it up to you here with this unfortunate This Week in Transphobia update.
It appears that the folks at Teespring are deeply confused about what "we love and support the LGBTQ+...

Hope you're all hanging in there. I am here to let you know four things:
1. Thanks to the generosity of all y'all as well as people on twitter, we were able to successfully raise $15,700 for the mutual aid fund! That means that all 157 applicants will be receiving $100. Y...

I've been putting off writing this newsletter for a few days because I was hoping to eventually have something to say. But lately, it feels like the more that happens, the less I want to speak about it. Maybe because there are more people...

I owe you two newsletters this week, but I only have one newsletter's worth of podcast news. So! Here's a slideshow of flowers I've seen since coronavirus hit the US back in March. It's good to see that some of us are still thriving.

I apologize for missing last week's newsletter, and the one before that. The truth is that I was a) very busy with the trans mutual aid fund b) very busy with the Life Kit episode I'm hosting, and, most of all, c) honestly doing very badly in my brain. Whoops!
