Hello, Podwalkers! We've missed y'all and we are gonna be at least one more week before we have full new episodes. But we wanted to share a few things. This weekend is a Charity Event for Translifeline being put on by some amazing creators. There is a Linktree here with all of the information including prizes/pods/auction items/information. Trans Rights are Human Rights.  Recently on Bluesky Rebell posted an excellent post on Political Activism and the Gathering.  As part of this the hosts are reaffirming their commitment to social justice and a mission of finding ways to talk about actionable advice for the topics we cover. If there's ideas people have for future guests where we can amplify our goal of action and not just "doom scrolling" or information fatigue, let us know

We also finally have a Linktree with all of our discounts/resources

As promised, we keep Mental Health Links available every episode. But For general Mental Health the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has great resources for people struggling with mental health concerns as well as their families. We also want to draw attention to this article on stigma from NAMI's site.
