Nice Stuff #13
Some links to some things ...
Welcome to What’s Helping Today, a newsletter about the everyday work of staying alive on earth — written by author and journalist Sandy Ernest Allen.
Hey all,
Mostly wanted to share another round of links to some nice stuff …
Hell yeah, love to see it …
Also love it when this bullshit backfires …
Read Bijan Stephen on Beverly Glenn-Copeland!
Great coverage:
Fellow trans journalists! Applications for this close tomorrow …
To anyone considering migrating their newsletter off of substack (as I once did and recommend everyone else do, too), I wanted to share this insightful post:
This is dope …
Awesome otter news …
Awesome whale news …
Hey speaking of whales … Repeating myself but, once again, this episode is live:
NEW EPISODE! "Admiral, there be whales here!" In which we discuss the Star Trek with the whales in it with @sandyernestallen.bsky.social.. This movie is SO GOOD!
— You Are Good (@youaregood.bsky.social)2026-04-29T07:36:00.000Z
We also recorded a bonus ep, on some TNG!
I wanted to share a few of the nice words folks have said about my new feature for Assigned, on Anemoni House …






Here again is the story:
If you haven’t yet, I hope you’ll give it a read.
Take care,
Sandy
p.s. This last week I consulted with a therapy practice; it went great! Mental health professionals: Periodic reminder you can hire me to work with your team (in this case on supporting trans/queer clients). Here’s my page about consulting.
p.p.s. Another reminder that I’m also available for hire to speak. Here’s my page about speaking.
