For a piece I’m working on, I’m looking to talk to trans people about menopause!

Do you have feelings about how gendered menopause is? Did experiencing (peri)menopause change how you feel about your gender? Did you know that gender-affirming surgery might make you suddenly menopausal?

If this is you and you’re up for answering some questions for me, please drop me an email at [email protected]!

(And if this isn't you, please boost this post!)

For a piece about self-care and community care, I’m looking to talk to folks involved in local activism and community organising about how self-care can’t save us from fascism – but community support and getting involved in local organising *might* be able to.

Hello lovely Masto peeps. I’m writing a long read about how the increased awareness of autism and neurodivergence generally is changing travel for people with autism. The very different experience, the way companies, airports etc should/can step up, etc.

If anyone here has experience ir insights on either side & would be willing to talk, please do shout! Thank you.

Fasinating development in the AFRINIC saga as the receiver calls new elections and disallows all proxy voting.

ICYMI disputed proxies were the reason the last election was annulled.

I expect this will be challenged in the courts and the situation will get messier and messier and messier.

While I'm here - a quick #journorequest to speak with any AFRINIC resource members about their experience of the last election. I can be reached in confidence here https://lnkd.in/ez32n5vc

For an article: I'm looking to talk to trans folks about our reliance on community for info about medical transition.

What did you learn about HRT or bottom surgery from other trans people, rather than a doctor? Did another trans person help explain to you how to access gender-affirming healthcare?

If you’re up for answering some questions about this for me, please email me at [email protected].

Hello lovely Mastodon peeps!

I am writing a long piece on the US state of Virginia - and what it’s like to live, work, do your thing etc there, etc. I wanna touch on business, tech, culture, ideas, Silicon Dominion, wine, investment, history & unique factors… the lot.

Anyone you’d recommend I talk to?

Or, if you are Virginian, can we chat?

I'm currently working on an article about how kink (and especially foot fetishes) can reduce STI transmission rates. I'm looking to talk to folks who have deliberately chosen to engage in kink/sex not involving penetration as a way to reduce their STI transmission risk.

If this is you and you’re up for answering some questions for me, please email [email protected].

(If this isn't you, I'd really appreciate it if you would share this toot!)

I am eager to connect with middle school teachers and discuss possible collaboration around improving student motivation. Something like a boost to the "When I Grow Up..." essay.

Is there anyone here interested in having a conversation about this topic? #journorequest

For an article, I need a quote from recognisable source about how you need to know your home before you travel. If one such exists. I have the Allende about seeing with new eyes and the Pratchett about not really having been anywhere till you've gone back home, but I need a beginning. Bonus points if relatable for neurodivergent peeps. Deadline today obvs #ADHD #WritersCoffeeClub #AmWriting #JournoRequest #Help

Copyright is absurd! #journorequest #journooffer

This year started with a lot of noise that Steamboat Willie was finally making it into the public domain...

...followed by #Disney demonetizing third party videos, because... well... they're Disney! ;(

In 2021 my "Trip to the Moon" video was hit by a copyright claim, despite being made 120 years ago!

Does anyone want to hear my story?

If not, hear the new soundtrack I wrote for the film, which I can't monetize...
