Shop's over here!

'Transfem DIY HRT' and 'Transmasc DIY HRT' are a pair of zines aimed at teaching transgender people how to safely self-administer DIY Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

Both zines are 100% free to download here from Little Mouse (who also made the zine). Print, share and distribute to those who need it!

The information contained in this zine is collated from, and openly available from, DIYHRT.info.

Can't Have Nice Things

The Ketamine King Musk has shutdown the IRS's Free Tax Filing system.

Of all the things a government could off, a way to Freely calculate and file your taxes seems like a good one. But the richest man in the world thinks we shouldn't have that.

Life-changing OCD hack is learning that you can literally call poison control to check if you fucked up and took medications wrong in a way that could kill you instead of having a panic attack while reading reddit and quora threads for an hour. They won't even be mad at you. Like obviously don't do it every day or something but genuinely you can do this if you need to

since it’s a scary time to be trans: refuge restrooms is an app which maps gender-neutral/single-stall restrooms. it’s community-mapped, so it’s possible you might be the first person to log the restroom locations, but hopefully it’ll help some people.

please reblog this post if you’ve got trans followers. stay safe.

How widespread is the knowledge that you should never say the words “overdose” or “drugs” or literally anything about suspected use in a call to 911? My fellow Americans, don’t say you’re seeing an overdose or suspect an overdose if you’re calling 911.

Do you have advice on shopping for bras and fem underwear for someone newly on hrt?

Fem underwear: TomboyX tucking underwear is the most direct recommendation I can give. In general, look for stuff that'll get you a gentle tuck. Not just for the actually tucking, but because it'll just fit better than other underwear with other clothes.

Bras: don't waste too much money early- you're going to have a lot of growth spurts! Start off with bralettes. Calvin Klein's racerback bralettes are really nice, and you'll quickly notice them EVERYWHERE in the selfies a lot of women here take, especially early HRT.

That said, remember that a properly fitted bra will be EXTREMELY flattering to your chest. Another common mistake that transfemmes often gets into is assuming that their chest is too small for a "real" bra. The only reason I'm telling you to start with bralettes is so that you don't waste money outgrowing bras rapidly.

I would measure your overbust and underbust regularly to track progress, and when you notice some growth, go to the abrathatfits calculator and use it as a starting point for your size.

New zine that's free for anyone to print and distribute! Read the whole thing at newlevant.com/COVIDzine or in the rest of this post.

UPDATE 4/11/2023:

I swapped out the colloidal silver nasal spray info for xylitol nasal spray info. I originally included colloidal silver spray because of the linked study and recommendation from RTHM, but I don't want to be pointing people toward something with notable health risks. Xylitol spray (Xlear) is also cheaper and more widely available!

If you're feeling anxious or depressed about the climate and want to do something to help right now, from your bed, for free...

Start helping with citizen science projects

What's a citizen science project? Basically, it's crowdsourced science. In this case, crowdsourced climate science, that you can help with!

You don't need qualifications or any training besides the slideshow at the start of a project. There are a lot of things that humans can do way better than machines can, even with only minimal training, that are vital to science - especially digitizing records and building searchable databases

Like labeling trees in aerial photos so that scientists have better datasets to use for restoration.

Or counting cells in fossilized plants to track the impacts of climate change.

Or digitizing old atmospheric data to help scientists track the warming effects of El Niño.

Or counting penguins to help scientists better protect them.

Those are all on one of the most prominent citizen science platforms, called Zooniverse, but there are a ton of others, too.

Oh, and btw, you don't have to worry about messing up, because several people see each image. Studies show that if you pool the opinions of however many regular people (different by field), it matches the accuracy rate of a trained scientist in the field.

--

I spent a lot of time doing this when I was really badly injured and housebound, and it was so good for me to be able to HELP and DO SOMETHING, even when I was in too much pain to leave my bed. So if you are chronically ill/disabled/for whatever reason can't participate or volunteer for things in person, I highly highly recommend.

Next time you wish you could do something - anything - to help

Remember that actually, you can. And help with some science.
