Before January 2025:

If you are a USAmerican in a relationship that might be affected by legislation that dissolves same-sex marriages, who may no longer be recognized as next-of-kin, especially if you have children, get your rights in writing!

Your marriage certificate may not be enough to prove you have rights to make medical decisions for non-biological children or for a same-sex spouse or partner.

Go to a lawyer, get it spelled out as clearly as possible that you have a voice in emergency medical and legal situations.

For those of us who aren’t lawyers or well-versed in law generally, can someone clarify what kind of document, by name, people should be drafting with their lawyers? Is it a type of letter, or is there a name for this classification of document? I’m aware that it probably varies by US state, but a lot of people are likely feeling extremely lost right now and don’t know where to start on this. I definitely don’t. I live in a state that isn’t likely to nullify existing marriages or prevent new ones from taking place, but who knows what they’re going to try at the national level and enforce from the top down.

Power of Attorney should cover most partners and spouses to ensure that they will be making each other's health care decisions in cases of serious illness. LGBTQ+ spouses and domestic partners must execute proper Health Care Power of Attorney documents listing each other as the highest priority agents for making each other's health care decisions in case of incapacity.

Here's a resource from GLAD.

Consider writing or updating your wills, also. If you can, do so with an elder law or estate attorney. Sign them with witnesses and with a notary. The last thing you want is to lose everything to probate because your marriage "doesn't count" anymore, and so you have no rights to your partner's assets -- including real estate, if you aren't both listed on the deed.

Also, a very important note: Regular Power of Attorney and Healthcare Power of Attorney are different! Not all states consider them equivalent. Healthcare POA lets you make medical decisions and be proxy for someone else. A regular POA ("Durable" or "Financial" Power of Attorney) is often more about financial decisions, life decisions, standing in as signatory, and other things of that nature. In NY, for example, a regular Power of Attorney does not count for medical decisions.

it only took me 6 years or so, but here’s a spidersona! She comes from a post-apocalyptic earth covered in nuclear waste and mutated monsters. I took a lot of inspiration from Mike mignolas work when figuring out how she looks, and I’m really happy with it!

I kinda wanna ship her with someone but idk who 🤔

close ups under the cut <3
