How are we already more than halfway through October? Where did this entire week go? Can someone please help me plan a Halloween costume?

We dropped a new podcast this week with the wonderful Liz Maker of After The Bloom, a dried floral business that helps raise money for gender-affirming surgery. They’ve done some incredible things— helping purchase binders, pay tuition, running community-wide raffles. I love this episode, and I love everything about After The Bloom. This is what communal support and mutual aid looks like, people!
You can listen to the episode above, on our website here, or on Apple podcasts. If you’re more of a reader, transcripts are available here. And if you enjoy the podcast, please give us a review and help more people find us!
