Evidentiary Pragmatism in Transgender Health Care | AJPH | Vol. 116 Issue 3 American Journal of Public Health (AJPH) from the American Public Health Association (APHA)

It took a hot minute, but I can finally share my new paper on evidentiary pragmatism in transgender health care!

look at that face, pinch his cheeks, boop his nose, trace his eyebrows, squish him

My mini quilts have been added!

Taking an anti-vaccination stances against a treatment that saves the life of ONE IN FIVE HUNDRED KIDS and has no verified deaths involving healthy recipients is not just anti-science and anti-logic, it's evil. I have studied this disease too extensively to soften that word.

It's just evil.

i know i’ve said this before but oh my god, i can’t believe i was just walking around my whole life without a bidet until like 3 years ago. why are we acting like bidets are weird. the dry toilet paper is so much weirder!!! what century is this!!

Oh what a bad idea.

It’s so funny how true this is and how pissed off the founders are this happened

Bluesky was literally meant to be a cryptobro social network for grifters, LinkedIn sludge, and libertarians who know way too much about age of consent laws.

Jack Dorsey *left* when instead of weird and off-putting cryptonerds, trans people started hanging out here.

None of this is normal

If you're not familiar with his feed, you might appreciate what @emmettmacfarlane.com has to say on the topic of institutional neutrality at universities. A sample thread:

The UMN leadership - ultimately my bosses - has failed this test, as they have failed every test except, perhaps catering to the needs of power.

Gift link.

People outside higher education often mistake the critical inquiry of *some* faculty as emblematic of the institutions generally, which is simply not true.

I remember after Castile was murdered in 2016, I got a talking to regarding the BLM sign I had on my door.

Finland gets it.

All the other kids are doing it.

a close up of the face of the marionette with its open jaw & teeth visible below.

i know i've been pretty quiet but here's the result of my January: a totally handmade, fully-functional marionette created for a local winter-themed puppet show. she's called the Winter Maw & she'll eat you alive, just like real winter
