I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them.

At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.

I was gifted a drawing glove from here once and not only does it fit better, the material has lasted better than the one wacom provides. Its dense, stretchy, and feels better on my head. Highly recommend!

Just FYI, even Lynda Carter thinks Bibi is an amazing Wonder Woman.
Bibi is such a wonderful person, one of the coolest humans around and they are also a Glamazon.
What more could you want for Wonder Woman?

Me cosplaying as Wonder Woman

Many years ago! I decided to make my own version of Wonder Woman that takes inspiration from the comics! I love Wonder Woman and what she stands for. She's strong, kind, and believes in a fair world!

Sketchy pencil-style drawing of a kobold launching at an armoured knight's face and stabbing through the eye slit in his helm with a pointy black weapon. The kobold resembles a goblin or monkey more than a lizard.

A drawing of the kobold ripping his weapon out from the shoulder of a faceless knight, liberating a spray of blood. The words "But here we are" are crowded into the side of the image in gothic font and a design of flowers appears spray-painted onto the backdrop behind the scene.

Just got a reasonably convincing scam call from someone purporting to be with the Durham County Sheriff's Office, alleging I missed federal jury duty and a bench warrant had been issued for my arrest

Guy had me almost worried for a solid 2-3 minutes

They even did up a fake warrant to text me!

I'm always worried I'm spamming too much when I have something for sale or events going on, but this is a crowdfunding campaign, it's literally what I'm supposed to do...

You can only get this pin within the first 48 hours, if you sign up for reminders it helps me a lot.
