TWO OF THESE BROWSER EXTENSIONS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT
Old Twitter Layout is basically what it sounds like. However, it lets you have even more control over customization such as fonts, colors, what content is shown sensitive or not, including custom CSS! You can also control your timeline from Algorithmical (For You) to reverse chronologically. (Created by dimden on Twitter)
Youtube Redux replicates the old layout and restores some old features that were removed in the current one such as favicons and dislikes. (Created by omniZero)
I’ve compiled this list of resources to help trans* people like myself. Even if you’re not trans* and/or can’t use any of this, please reblog for the sake of others. Thanks!

Like Leelah’s dying wish was for her stuff to be sold and the money be donated to trans organisations. Imagine her parents refusing to do this (which they probably will). Just seriously sit down and imagine a girl committing suicide, and her dying wish is written down and given to her parents, and they look at it and just say “no”.
You should be fucking furious about this
This is a cause that is particularly near and dear to my heart, but especially coming up to pride month. Glad Day book shop is considered the oldest queer book store in the world and the oldest running book store in Toronto. They are a staple of the gay village here in my city and are a hub of knowledge and a well recognized safe space for everyone. They are in trouble and may end up being shut down soon however if they cannot come up with $100, 000 to pull themselves out of mounting debt that has been building over the past few years. They're hoping to create a safety net for themselves and to possibly relocate if they can reach their final goal of $300, 000. More details on their fundraising plans are below in the Save Glad Day link.
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide has released a statement saying that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and the United States is complicit. The statement was released in the aftermath of the horrific attack on a refugee camp in Rafah
In April, Lemkin also issued a genocide alert for the West Bank
