In the last 3ish years, we've had #trans and now #progress #pride flags outside on our extremely visible but also surprisingly windy corner

In that time, we've gone through 3-4 flag poles thanks to bad #design and cheap construction

I kinda want to #diy this bc it can't be this hard

Design constraints:

- 3'x5' (1x1.5m) flag
- long dimension of flag parallel to the ground
- 6-8' (2-2.5m) tall
- very strong in bending (windy corner)
- weighted bottom rather than dug (ground is usually frozen, rocky or mud)
- not "ugly"

Naively, I'd stick an iron or PVC pipe in a bucket of cement, then mount the flag with rotating clips. But even painted, I can't claim this isn't "ugly".

The base needs to be smaller. How heavy/wide do I really need? How would I even measure the torque the wind is applying? I guess a spring scale and just pull the pole to about the same bending I see from the wind....?

Is there a flag pole design standard?

(I've seen the "RV style" and it's clever, but not quite the look I want.)

One woman is killed by a man every three days in the UK (Femicide Census, 2023)

1.7 million women were impacted by domestic violence in 2023 (ONS, 2023)

98% of perpetrators of sexual offences are men (Cambridge Rape Crisis Centre, 2023)

#Trans women sharing our lavatories is not an issue. Cisgender men who abuse their power are the real threat.

Season 3 of "LGBT by the Numbers" discusses the past 10 years of results from the Gender Census, an annual global online survey of nonbinary people.

In this article, I discussed the terms gender non-conforming, genderqueer, and enby.

URGENT MUTUAL AID REQUEST :boostRequest:

$0/250

Hello all! It's your friendly neighborhood mod Glitch, and I am in need of your help with an urgent situation!

I am a trans nonbinary neurodivergent individual with ME/CFS and degenerative disc disease (lower spine).

I have to move out of my apartment in just over 2 weeks so it can be remodeled (and then I have to move back after it's done) and being disabled and having to do all this packing by myself is extremely stressful.

I need help with funds to cover packing supplies, cat food/cat litter/cat carrier, personal care items, bills for June, transportation (for doctor's appointments), storage bins, and any other incidentals I might need in the meantime. Anything helps!

Hej polska społeczność #trans, co sądzicie o piosence Big Cyc "zmień z nami płeć"? Czy ona jest generalnie odbierana jako sarkazm czy jako coś sympatycznego?

Any advice for coming out as genderfluid to people who it would be a total and unexpected shock to, even if they're 99.9999% likely to be accepting of it? I feel like I would be a bit embarrassed and feel awkward if I shook up their whole image of who I am as a person, but hey, it's gotta come out sometime. Sorry if that didn't make any sense the way I worded it. I do hope it made sense, though.
