swap your gender on the gender exchange. donate your unwanted gender to someone in need

Part of why we say "solidarity not charity" is because the way charity is typically presented gives moral superiority to the givers - and often, moral inferiority to the receivers (or sometimes "takers," if they decide to be particularly transparent about it)

Truisms like "it is better to give than to receive" implicitly contain "it is wrong to receive help." It's wrong to ask for the support you need, to want it, even to accept it when offered. Panhandling, for instance, is often portrayed not just as shameful, but immoral - even greedy

Solidarity, and especially mutual aid, are meant to reject that dichotomy. Everyone at Food Not Bombs eats together, volunteers and otherwise, and talks to each other. Our Free Store puts "it's free because it's yours" all over its reading material - it's not a gift, not a blessing, not charity. And that makes *such* a big difference

"you need to love yourself first" is a myth. you are worthy of being loved and cared for regardless of how you feel about yourself

Inspired by @electrolemon@twitter.com and #xoxofest, I present this year’s hottest Halloween costume:

Guy Fieri Fawkes

My partner was laid off yesterday, as the company their employer subcontracts to is winding down a project. If you need a linguist, technical writer, or editor they have experience and certification in all of those. They are looking for both full-time and freelance work.

fun fact for the day: there's a Quaking Aspen grove in Utah that has 50,000 trees that are all actually just one tree. Its name is Pando and it's 80,000 years old.

There is no definitive "nonbinary look."

Nonbinary people can look like anyone.

The only "look" that matters is what makes you, a nonbinary person, feel alive, proud, and genuine.

That's the real nonbinary look.
