Feedism Community Networking Directory

hey everybody! I've created a new resource that will allow feedists to make connections with the intent to help each other out on their projects. It's pretty bare bones at the moment, as it exists only in a google spreadsheet, but I hope that I can eventually translate it to something more searchable, like an actual directory. If you're interested in starting something for the community, whether it's in-person organizing, making zines, newsletters, writing & publishing, or conducting studies, you name it: my goal is to create an accessible directory for feedists to showcase their skills and interests so that others can get in contact and ask for help. the idea struck me when I was considering writing a book on the intersection of feedism and fat liberation, and a fellow feedist messaged me to offer their experience in publishing. It felt so much better to imagine going through that process with someone in my community who would understand the material I'd be writing about and wouldn't judge me for who I am. so, if anyone else out there is wanting to connect with other creatives and innovators within the safety of their own community, I present to you, the feedism community networking directory!

please feel free to add your info! I hope this can be a jumping off point for broader community networking, so please spread this around!

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

I am so serious when I say that now is the time to take your activism offline. I am not spending the next four years squabbling on social media or getting woke points by reblogging posts that my followers already agree with. There are real places in your offline community where you can do good if you seek them out

something you can do today is donate to an abortion fund in florida and to an abortion fund in south dakota since abortion rights measures failed there. you can find one to donate to in one of those states here: https://abortionfunds.org/find-a-fund/

tweets that did get a chuckle out of me

Hey, also, all the anarchist shit aside, tomorrow I want you to make something.

I forced myself to draw something after the 2016 election. I forced myself to draw something when my mother died in 2018. I forced myself to draw something when my spouse was hospitalized for multiple organ failure in 2021.

When you are miserable, make something. Add a row to your project, bake a box cake, draw on a sheet of lined paper, write a poem on a napkin, fold an origami shirt out of a dollar bill, make your favorite recipe for dinner, but make something with your hands, something that you can hold and look at engage your senses in.

It won't fix the world, but it will change the world. You will have made something that didn't exist before. You will have impacted your reality, even in a very small way. And it is going to be something you made *after.* Something bad happened, something shook you, and you made something after, in spite of it.

hello again (bill clinton limewire voice) my fellow americans

There are a few states that actually have Shield/Refuge laws designed to help trans people fleeing from trans-unsafe states, which also guarantee trans folks access to healthcare. These states are:

California

Colorado

Illinois

Oregon

Vermont

Washington

Minnesota

New Mexico

Maine

Massachusetts

Rhode Island

Connecticut

Washington D.C.

Additionally, some states have "trans sanctuary" executive orders signifying safety for trans folks seeking healthcare. These states are:

Maryland

New Jersey

New York

Living as a resident in these states means you are protected by state's rights and state government to continue or begin receiving trans healthcare. These laws have been codified in their states so everything has been a-ok'd by their state governments.

Stay alive. You got this. I love you.

I know there’s an existing post somewhere, but here’s the list of OBGYNs in the USA and other countries that will perform tubal ligation (aka female sterilization) without arguing with you

with all the talk about DIY HRT, let’s also talk about stocking up on mifepristone and misoprostol (the abortion pills). it’s worth knowing the right dosages, how to use it safely, and keeping some on hand. better to have it and not need it than the other way around. the shelf life is (at least) five years.

having abortion pills accessible is just as vital as HRT, especially with both potentially at risk of restricted access.

getting them in advance can be life-saving for you and others around you.

Senators are going to vote on whether or not we should continue to send aid to Israel on Wednesday, November 13th. Call them, bombard their phone lines with calls. Every fucking day. We have a chance of doing something about this.
