how are you gonna be 31 and posting fandom content bro leave it to the teenagers

People 10 and 20 years older than me are writing your favorite fanfics, and drawing your favorite characters. You'd have no fandom without the people you think are 'too old' to have hobbies.

Summary: Roy Earle. 1914 to 1956. A biography that follows Roy Earle through his sordid adolescence, his first day as a detective, the end of his police career, and beyond.

Roy Earle is a man who takes what he wants, but he’s also a man who does what needs to be done.

Before he becomes a dirty cop, Roy is the kind of young man that everyone wants to take to bed. He trades his childhood of poverty for an easy life as a starlet’s kept man, becoming a staple at parties filled with sex, drugs, and debauchery.

His rise through various LAPD departments takes him from the dull corners of Central Station to the glamour of the Hollywood Division, with a number of detours to the gay bars of West Hollywood.

Notes: In honor of Aromantic Visibility Day, I (aromantic asexual) am promoting my fic where I made one of the worst men of all time an aromantic homosexual. Roy Earle is power hungry, incredibly sexually charged, and incapable of loving anyone but himself.

Explanation: The vast majority of homeowners insurance plans do not cover flood damage. You need separate flood insurance. Yes. I think it’s stupid too.

Folks in the UK, could we have some trusted links to charities?

[raedear]

There's Mermaids which is always a great option, and then Scotland-specific there's LGBT Youth Scotland, to give you just a couple. There will absolutely be more that other people can suggest though!

switchboard.lgbt and akt.org.uk are two i regularly support, and there’s always stonewall !

trans aid cymru is a mutual aid group rather than a charity but ill always shout them out for wales specific trans community support! they have a donation page here

Scottish Trans Alliance do good work, and more locally to me and also locally to the evil billionaire funding so much of this (we are deeply uneasy neighbours I live in constant fear of seeing her) and also Parliament, Resisting Transphobia in Edinburgh do a lot of community work. Resistance is everywhere, both national and local, official and grassroots, and if you have no money spare to donate then you can donate time, if you have neither you can - you Must - reach out to even just one trans person near you, because community starts with smiling at your neighbours, knowing names, noticing if they're struggling. I survived thanks to one queer person I never knew the name of and spoke barely one sentence to taking 10 minutes out of their day to drop off an LGBTQ youth centre flier for me back in 2016. It starts small. It moves mountains. We are not budging an inch. I love you.

Gendered intelligence is a trans-led charity that works to improve the lives of trans people in the UK

cannot recommend LGBT Youth Scotland enough, they are sound as hell and seriously leading the way on a lot of trans support in the 3rd sector

also, sticking with Scottish orgs, LGBT Health & Wellbeing have trans-specific support for people of all ages, including over 60s, and took over the Lothian Gay and Lesbian Switchboard which was the first LGBTQ+ helpline in the UK. they are solid.

Scottish Trans have a list of trans support organisations here but some of them (like ERCC) have lost some ground in the last few years. still, most of them are sound.

And this one isn't specifically trans but the Good Law Project has been involved in defending teams rights in court in several recent cases, notably appealing the puberty blocker ban following the Cass Review.
