Being a guest alongside my friend Holly, on Robin's podcast, Coming out Late, was so much fun. This is a particularly good episode to listen to if you are trans, know someone who is trans and want to understand them more, or just want something gripping and interesting to listen to during your morning coffee or commute.

We had a successful Thrift 2 Fight sale raising over $1000 for Trans LifeLine and diverting over 5 carloads of clothing, accessories, and household items from going to the dump! We will be selling high quality clothing left from the sale on Poshmark to future raise money for Trans LifeLine. We are still accepting donations at https://secure.givelively.org/donate/trans-lifeline/jessica-jarrard-2.

Come and support Trans LifeLine by buying high quality second-hand clothes at affordable prices at the Thrift 2 Fight sale I am hosting this Saturday at St. Stephen's Church in Ridgefield CT. Music, light refreshments, and resources for the LGBTQ+ community will be provided.

Trans LifeLine provides valuable and needed resources to the transgender community by running a crisis hotline and providing microgrants to transgender people in need. They are in need of funding as they have recently limited their hotline hours from 24/7 to evening hours only; it costs $75/hr to keep the hotline running.

If you can't make it to the Thrift 2 Fight Fundraiser for Trans Life line that I am hosting this Saturday in Ridgefield, CT, you can still support Trans LifeLine by donating here. https://secure.givelively.org//donate/trans-lifeline/jessica-jarrard-2

Poppers are ubiquitous in gay male culture. Have you ever wondered what's in poppers, where they come from, or how they work? This comprehensive and interesting article will answer all your questions.
As a side note: if you feel you are too dependent on poppers for s*x, contact Jessica Jarrard of Rainbow Counseling for a consultation, a licensed s*x positive addiction recovery therapist. Jessica will help you implement methods to decrease dependence if you want to. For those who don't want to, that is fine too; enjoy your poppers!

For decades, poppers have been the go-to s*x drug for gay men. But where do they come from?

We all make mistakes with pronouns, but showing that you are trying to respect pronouns and improving can go a long way in building a supportive environment for trans people and reducing gender dysphoria.
