If you appreciated our support- Covering first aid, mental health support, as well as a few snacks, consider donating to keep us going. What we don't spend on doing first aid for protests, we spend supporting trans people in the community. paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xc…
We're out supporting the @TransActionBloc vigil today- please remember to eat and bring sweet and salty snacks, 500ml or more of water, and warm and waterproof clothing- it may drizzle later.

Complications we missed: anything that limits circulation will make you especially vulnerable to cold based injury- old age os a common example, as is Raynauds syndrome which shuts down circulation to the extremeties.

If people are talking, check if they know of any other conditions, check with their friends, and check for medical alert bracelets if they're not.

Cold injuries are obviously a giant issue right now and there's more to it than "being too cold is bad for your health". Here's our week worth of threads on how to prevent, recognise and treat common illnesses and injuries you get in the cold.
