In honor of mental health awareness month, I bring…

Thunderbolts* Allyship & Support Resources!

A collection of resources for any number of identities.

Written, edited, collaborated, and posted by entire Thunderbolts* team, as my English isn’t very good.

\\ I have spent a lot of time putting this together. I believe in action. In providing help here and now for people who need it. In a website full of arguing and discourse, this is what actually helps people. //

Glad you're good, my friend! Other than the nest situation, I am quite alright. It is my birthday soon!
