Happy International Nonbinary People’s Day! 💛🤍💜🖤

➡️ What does it mean to be “nonbinary”?
Nonbinary refers to people who do not subscribe to the gender binary. Some use the term exclusively, while others may use it interchangeably with terms like genderq***r, genderfluid, gender non-conforming, gender diverse, or gender expansive. It can also be combined with other descriptors e.g. nonbinary woman or transmasc nonbinary. Language is imperfect, so it’s important to trust and respect the words that nonbinary people use to describe their genders and experiences.

To all of our nonbinary loved ones: We see you, we support you, and we're proud of you! 💛🤍💜🖤

The Trevor Project is the leading su***de prevention and crisis intervention organization for le***an, gay, bisexual, transgender, q***r & questioning (LGBTQ+) young people.

I’m fundraising for The Trevor Project because I believe in their vision to build a world where every 2SLGBTQIA+ young person feels safe, loved, and celebrated.

The Trevor Project provides free, accessible, 24/7 crisis counseling services via phone (TrevorLifeline), instant messenger (TrevorChat), and text (TrevorText) to young LGBTQ+ people in crisis.

Your generosity will help build a world where all LGBTQ+ young people see a brighter future for themselves.

Please support my fundraiser by making a donation today.

Studies show 10% of dads experience postpartum depression, and 5-15% develop an anxiety disorder, such as generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder, at some point during the pregnancy or the first year postpartum. These conditions are treatable with support, connection, and care. Postpartum Support International offers free services and resources for dads, including:

▪The toll-free HelpLine provides support, resources, and basic information. HelpLine calls and texts are returned every day of the week by trained and caring volunteers.

▪The Dads Support Group is a free, virtual, peer support group where dads can connect with other dads who have newborns up to toddlers. In addition to sharing experiences, dads will learn about helpful tools and resources and realize they are not alone.

▪Specialized Coordinators are volunteers with personal experience with the challenges of living with a perinatal mental health condition while being a dad. These volunteers provide other fathers the opportunity to connect with someone who understands what it is like and share resources.

▪The Peer Mentor Program pairs dads in need of support with a trained volunteer who has also experienced and fully recovered from a perinatal mental health disorder. This one-to-one connection offers invaluable insight, encouragement, and hope.

▪A closed Facebook group for dads, where members can access great support and information from other dads.

▪Chat with an Expert is a free, live phone session for dads on the first Tuesday of each month. The calls provide reliable information, support, and resources. Dads can find answers and support from an expert and other dads.

💙To learn more about all of these resources and more check out the Help for Dads page at: https://postpartum.net/get-help/help-for-dads/

“The world is going to hell in a hand basket and you want to paint pictures”

When I was a teen in a rural Kansas high school, I wanted to go to art school. A friend’s father offered the above snarky reply after asking about my post graduation plans; he apparently thought I should be an engineer or something since I was always at his house to study calculus. Art is still a way for me to process tough s**t and cope with the state of the world. It’s a way to stay in the fight by taking care of myself.

I’m also using art to advocate. Currently, I’m raising money for The Trevor Project. Make a donation and I will send you a sticker. Send me your mailing address, quantity of sticker(s) you want, and confirmation of your donation (Recommended donation of $3 per sticker).

Everyone deserves healthcare. Everyone even if our legislators don't understand it.
