transandnonbinaryThis is later than I wanted to post this, but I had a lot of things to do after finishing work! Also some of these are from earlier than just the last week, but I figured it would be find for my first post of this sort. But essentially another regular thing I want to start doing is posting weekly news round-ups. I hope they'll be of use and interest to you all! ♥
