I'm a trans health researcher, writer, dog owner, and (not particularly good) artist in a variety of media. I talk about trans and reproductive rights, ttrpgs, dogs, pottery, and politics. My statements/opinions are mine - not those of any of my employers

My brain is goo right now. It just took me way too long to figure out how to leave a rating for Cancel Me, Daddy on Apple podcasts.

Honestly the pup is really channeling how I feel about the world right now. Just STOP.

I can’t re-up this enough. “… The New York Times' leadership was aware of, and pushed for, an anti-trans bias in reporting - uncritically platforming anti-trans medical misinformation and anti-trans bigots despite outrage from the public and the paper's own staff” via @imarajones.bsky.social

I... don't think I'm willing to sign off on agreeing to remove a coauthor from a published trans health paper. It was bad enough when someone asked during the proof process (different paper) because they no longer wanted to be associated with doing this work.

Mental exercise: working on two academic papers the current administration will definitely hate for their "woke" perspective (yay!) and helping a beloved friend and colleague with a research question. Physical exercise: shoveling the really heavy snow and toweling the sad, damp puppy.

Stayed from being horrified by the world by being once again, very put off by #Duolingo’s choice of a widget image. Why?!?! I find the widget convenient for seeing if I have practiced, but sometimes it’s really unpleasant to look at. @duolingoverde.bsky.social

Both the best thing and the worst thing about having a dog is that when you’re really depressed, you can’t just lie in bed or on the floor all day.

I love working. Working is great. When I’m working hard enough, I’m not doom scrolling to determine what fresh new hell has arisen in the intervening hours. But hey, we got a halt on the indirect cost cuts! I can work a little longer.

I really need the dog version of grindr so I can find a nearby dog who wants to chase my dog in circles in the snow. She has way more energy than I do. Someone please create Puppr.

I feel like the only way that I am feeling even remotely OK these days is when I do something that feels like it is useful for others.

This is a really good explanation of something we're going to be talking a lot about (screaming a lot about?) in academic medicine.

Today instead of rage cleaning my freezer, I rage wrote a 2000 word article. It felt both more and less useful

I’m passing on information about a study of United States undergraduate and graduate with students who identify as both Ace and trans or non-binary being run by two trans/ace researchers. I know one of these researchers well (Genny) and they do awesome work. Tinyurl.com/acetransstudy

The pleasant surprise for my morning was an amazing guest lecture about depression, gender, and the wage gap that someone else (the previous instructor) had arranged for my class. So much fun, and now I have a whole pile of new literature to read.

I saw this headline in The Guardian, and I screamed, out loud, at my phone, "Not right now they don’t! Have you read yourself lately?" I do not understand the analysts who seem to think that Trump has some genius political plan. He is just a five year-old boy whose parents have never said no to him.

I go offline to work on page proofs for a few hours and come back to Trump trying to annex Gaza as well as Greenland?! ┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ︵ ┻━┻
