U.S. LGBTQIA+ RESOURCES ASK
Hey all! I am still alive. also I could use some help
I help support my workplaceβs queer employee resource group, and some of us are currently building out a resource kit for LGBTQIA+ employees to use on the job (think digitally accessible collection of helpful links and tips).
All I can say about my workplace is that employees often travel a lot and without much notice, and they travel to all states/tribes/territories within the U.S. for months at a time. This lends itself to fun times especially for trans employees and/or anyone who has strict medication requirements where accessibility changes depending on where theyβre sent.
If you all know of any resources related to the following and could either add them to this post or send them directly, I would be super appreciative!Β
- Traveling while LGBTQIA+ within the country/in general
- Packing lists for LGBTQIA+ folks
- Virtual healthcare for LGBTQIA+ folks regardless of location, or virtual healthcare resources
- How to manage requesting/accessing medication when out of state for extended periods of time (thinking specifically about higher class drugs or similar)
- Websites that track LGBTQIA+-friendly locations across the US (such as strandsfortrans.org that tracks queer friendly hair salons)
- Established (on official sites, not blogs unfortunately) lists of LGBTQIA+ books/poetry/other media to include for recommendations
- LGBTQIA+ self care or mental health resources
- Any resources on finding community in a new location
- Similar items along this list
I am not looking for resources outside of this list (keeping the resource kit focused). I also cannotΒ include anything with political opinions or commentary within them. Weβll be partnering with other employee resource groups (specifically our disability-based one) for this project as well since intersectionality is key and many of these items go hand in hand.
Thank you!!

itβs pride month so it felt appropriate to make screencaps out of the perfect scene in Galavant where an army of gays save the dayΒ

12 ADHD hacks that are actually helpful
- Record EVERYTHING in your phone's calendar app the moment you find out about it. Mine gives me an alarm automatically before the calendar time - has saved my ass many times.
- Get a little bowl or equivalent for objects like keys. That's now your key bowl. You will not lose them ever again.
- Write down deadlines as early before they're actually due as you can justify. My ADHD ass never remembers the actual due date. I get all of the stress fuelled productivity with none of the actual danger.
- Handwrite notes. I have no idea why, but the process of pen and paper makes me remember things much better.
- If you have to be somewhere like class or work, set aside time to go for a walk first. Honestly would be great all days, but I can't even make myself do this, so it's good if you have to be out anyway (and maybe would have been in waiting mode). Burning off energy helps my brain.
- When retrieving laundry (ie its dry and you have to fold it), dump it all out in the most inconvenient place possible. I like the bed. It forces me to deal with it, rather than letting it sit there.
- Turn on subtitles when you watch anything - even YouTube and live TV. I didn't realise how lifechanging this was until last year.
- The Breath of the Wild soundtrack is weirdly the best background music ever. It's the perfect level of stimulating without distracting
- Use text to speech for long walls of text. It's great.
- Did I mention phone alarms? I use it for everything - ie when I know I might hyperfocus on something for too long.
- There's literally no obligation to eat 3 meals at set times. If eating snacks throughout the day works better for you, then do that. There's also no shame in things like pre chopped fruit/veggies.
- I struggle with transitions sometimes. A way around this is keeping a ton of water next to me. When I get frustrated about being stuck, I just drink as much water as I can. Eventually, this means I have to pee, and physically cannot ignore it. The act of going to the bathroom is sometimes enough to change activity.
Disclaimer that this is my own experience with ADHD, which may be totally different to someone else's. But hey, these are some things I've always found useful.

Every person need to be taught disability history
Not the βoh Einstein was probably autisticβ or the sanitized Helen Keller story. but this history disabled people have made and has been made for us.
Teach them about Carrie Buck, who was sterilized against her will, sued in 1927, and lost because βThree generations of imbeciles [were] enough.β
Teach them about Judith Heumann and her associates, who in 1977, held the longest sit in a government building for the enactment of 504 protection passed three years earlier.
Teach them about all the Baby Does, newborns in 1980s who were born disabled and who doctors left to die without treatment, whoβs deaths lead to the passing of The Baby Doe amendment to the child abuse law in 1984.
Teach them about the deaf students at Gallaudet University, a liberal arts school for the deaf, who in 1988, protested the appointment of yet another hearing president and successfully elected I. King Jordan as their first deaf president.
Teach them about Jim Sinclair, who at the 1993 international Autism Conference stood and said βdonβt mourn for us. We are alive. We are real. And weβre here waiting for you.β
Teach about the disability activists who laid down in front of buses for accessible transit in 1978, crawled up the steps of congress in 1990 for the ADA, and fight against police brutality, poverty, restricted access to medical care, and abuse today.
Teach about us.
