You can access it here. Please reblog this post when you see it so more folks can get access and so I can get more recommendations to add to it lmfao
This archive isn't complete, as no archive ever is. I'm constantly taking suggestions on what to add to it or changes to make. If you'd like to see something added to the archives or are having technical difficulties, please send me a DM. Current content categories and archivist's note below cut.
"Anonsee, what is Transfeminist Womanism?"
Transfeminist Womanism itself is a synthesis of both eponymous ideologies, seeking to fill the gaps formed within each that often leave out Black trans women - racism within transfeminism, transmisogyny within womanism - when Black trans women are often the people that need those ideologies the most. Transfeminist Womanism is a primarily Abolitionist ideology, finding value in the rhetoric, knowledge, tactics, and tools of anarchism, communism, and other ideologies without falling directly into any of those categories.
Additionally, I've curated a "Foundational" folder that gives guided reading to help understand the underlying principles and thoughts behind Transfeminist Womanism.
If you're an author of works in the archives and you'd like to be added to the tip list, please send me a DM and I'll add your information. For fiction titles and art, I'm only accepting works from Black and/or transfemme authors/artists to be added to the archives.
NEW: If you are Black and/or Transfemme and would like to potentially include your art in the archive - visual, audio, or otherwise so long as its digital, DM me!

Archivist's note: Remade the post because I updated a bunch of file organization and standardized the file naming much to my chagrin the past several days. This should make it easier to find items AND search the archives. Thank y'all so much for your support in this, it really really means a lot.
If you're feeling anxious or depressed about the climate and want to do something to help right now, from your bed, for free...
Start helping with citizen science projects
Public participation in science is increasing, and citizen science has a central part in this. It is a contribution by the public to researc
What's a citizen science project? Basically, it's crowdsourced science. In this case, crowdsourced climate science, that you can help with!
You don't need qualifications or any training besides the slideshow at the start of a project. There are a lot of things that humans can do way better than machines can, even with only minimal training, that are vital to science - especially digitizing records and building searchable databases
Like labeling trees in aerial photos so that scientists have better datasets to use for restoration.
Or counting cells in fossilized plants to track the impacts of climate change.
Or digitizing old atmospheric data to help scientists track the warming effects of El Niño.
Or counting penguins to help scientists better protect them.
Those are all on one of the most prominent citizen science platforms, called Zooniverse, but there are a ton of others, too.
Oh, and btw, you don't have to worry about messing up, because several people see each image. Studies show that if you pool the opinions of however many regular people (different by field), it matches the accuracy rate of a trained scientist in the field.
--
I spent a lot of time doing this when I was really badly injured and housebound, and it was so good for me to be able to HELP and DO SOMETHING, even when I was in too much pain to leave my bed. So if you are chronically ill/disabled/for whatever reason can't participate or volunteer for things in person, I highly highly recommend.
Next time you wish you could do something - anything - to help
Remember that actually, you can. And help with some science.
