My friend Matthew is raising money for One TWU, an important organization supporting 2SLGBTQ+ students and alumni connected to Trinity Western University. They provide confidential support and a safe place for queer students. I’ve donated, and if you can, I hope you will too. gofund.me/5318236c5

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

Hello, I was hoping to avoid doing this, but I am asking for help paying for my hernia surgery. I need about $6800 to cover it and I simply do not have the money to cover it. If you're able, I would appreciate your help. <3 gofund.me/db73f7f90

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

BREAKING: After the Washington Post fired me last year for speaking the truth in the wake of the Charlie Kirk killing, I fought back. And I'm happy to announce: I won my case against the Washington Post. They have been ordered to reinstate me immediately. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/24/b...

I've had three colonoscopies now, and they caught stuff before anything turned to full cancer. The prep isn't fun, but the procedure is under general anesthesia and painless. If you're of age, get it done!
Well, I am of colonoscopy age now and I got my first-ever one yesterday. The prep wasn't fun but not as awful as I'd imagined. My appt was at 6am on Monday, I was home just after 7am. There's no recovery except catching up on the sleep you missed. So, if you need a nudge to get yours, this is it!

It's a very treatable form of cancer if caught early, yet younger adults rarely get screened. Patient advocates want more people to talk to their doctors about risk factors and number 2. n.pr/4tBeubc

If you’re under 50, it’s likely that colorectal cancer isn’t on your radar, but it should be. Once considered an older-age disease, rates are skyrocketing among young adults. https://to.pbs.org/4dku8m1

Biking Boston since 1980. Comic artist, designer, developer. On March 5th I hit a pothole in Kenmore Square and fractured both tibial plateaus. Five weeks in rehab. Facing eviction from my home of 17 years. I don't ask for help easily. I'm asking now. www.gofundme.com/f/help-dave-...
My home suffered a flood on April 15, 2026. Inches deep, it destroyed most of my furniture, many electronics, personal mementos, med supplies, etc. My insurance won't cover it and my landlord refuses to help. I am now displaced. Plz consider donating to my GoFundMe gofund.me/3eee944fc

I was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer at age 39. This story explains it all very well.
As the cost of living in Toronto continues to rise, and newer, more expensive cancer treatments become available, how will this city cope with the thousands of new cancer cases that are diagnosed each year? thelocal.to/cost-of-canc...
