Friends! I wanted to write to say hi because it's Newsletter Time, but I don't actually have very much news for you. My main news is that this job is turning me into a mail nerd. 🤓 I now have a load of cute stamps and an official USPS postage meter, which is very exciting because it means that I can almost finally catch up on Patreon rewards!
Unfortunately, I'm still waiting on more stickers, because it turns out that I didn't have like 300+ stickers laying around, my bad my bad my bad my bad. But soon soon soon everyone will have their rewards and I will sleep easier at night.

Here's an unrelated autumnal photo of my dog-sister, Maddy, just in case you wanted to see her.
Not much other newsy news, but I do have reminders!
First: this round of Gender Reveal grants closes on Friday, October 31! We're planning to give away $2,000, and we've already received a whopping 209 applications... would it be terrible if we just gave everyone $10 instead of choosing a few winners? 😅😅😅
Anyway, apply by Friday at genderpodcast.com/grant.

Secondly! Our live show is officially scheduled! We'll be at Portland State University on November 23 from 2:30–3:30pm, as part of the annual Trans Action and Care Conference. The show is FREE to attend, as is the conference, so come by for part or all of the day! You won't want to miss it. :)

Meanwhile, my friend Cass and I are working hard on the presentation that we'll be giving to basically the entire radio industry on Thursday! Here we are dressed exactly the same accidentally!
Here's the title slide. We're very professional.

And here's one more sample slide for good measure...

"But, Molly!" you ask. "Are there memes?"
Yes, don't worry, there are may many memes in this powerpoint. It's mostly memes. We even have this mostly-unrelated gif!

Okay, I gotta go, but never forget that I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND YOU ARE CHANGING TRANS LIVES EVERY DAY. Our grant program is because of you! Gender Reveal continues to exist because of you! Our merch store (bit.ly/gendermerch!!!!!) donates 100% of the proceeds because of YOU!
Here's your weekly Rhubarb browsing what I believe is the Gender Reveal slack (bit.ly/genderslack2).

XOXO,
yr resident gender detective
