Tragically, people who desire to live their authentic selves die because of transphobia. Today we remember those who have died because of transphobia. Violence against transgender people is wrong, full stop. I have transgender friends, and I worry about them these days. I pray for their safety, offer my friendship, and may God be with them.
These are different days. We can’t go back to the days before. I have no clue what the days of the future will hold. Every day is a different day than the one that came yesterday and won’t be like the ones to come after. I suppose living, learning, and working teach everyone all of that.
Today is Monday and it’s worth enjoying a donut. Have a great day good people. Do good things.

In the aftermath of the 2024 election it is going to be important for allies and supporters of marginalized people. I am a cis gendered white male and I want to know how to be a better ally to the groups that are under threat and persecution especially women and LGBTQIA+ people. I will try my best to do good stuff but I do know I will make mistakes. Guidance is helpful here. What can I do to be of help.
