It's not just numbers and time. It's access. Blogging and podcasting can only go so far, and no-one's platforming us on mass media. "Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one"

These 8 Democrats voted to pass a national ban on trans teachers and mention of LGBTQ topics. Rep Henry Cuellar (TX) Rep. Don Davis (NC) Rep. Cleo Fields (LA) Rep. Laura Gillen (NY) Rep. Vicente González (TX) Rep. Marcy Kaptur (OH) Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) Rep. Eugene Vindman (VA)

Trans women have always been women, and always will be. That was true before any court ruling, any political debate, any newspaper front page. It remains true now.

friendly, perhaps a bit scheming even….. 👻 [ #pokemon #fanart 🪦 ]

I’ve just finished this in the past week, but this is easily the best online course/series of lectures I’ve done. I’d tried it in a prior year and fallen on the wayside a bit, and I found the 2026 version with the split beginner/intermediate lectures much more approachable. Would recommend!!

Just finished (and deeply enjoyed) the first chapter of @slagstadk.bsky.social's book Standardizing Sex. Current favourite quote, though I’m sure there are more to come 👀

Will have more to say about the dySEM paper (w/ @omarjcamanto.bsky.social )/JOSS another time, but for, now, just struck--similar to doing my first Registered Report--in terms of how much I feel like this approach (not without tradeoffs) is a big improvement in terms of scientific value-allignment

The whole freaking thing, from start to finish: github.com/openjournals... Thanks for now (and again later) to @samhforbes.bsky.social, @smasongarrison.bsky.social, and Keah Tandon (who I believe is not on bsky: www.linkedin.com/in/keah-tand...)

Jonah Gabry's talk “Bayesian Workflow and the Software That Shapes It” today May 19th 13:00 UTC can be followed online!

1. Incredible breaking news and a landmark ruling out of Colorado. The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that hospitals MUST not capitulate to Trump, and must continue offering trans youth care under state law. They found vague federal threats "speculative." Subscribe to support our journalism.

Very excited to add @slagstadk.bsky.social’s book on Scandinavian trans medicine to my growing collection of trans history books! 🏳️‍⚧️✨ Also the cover art is 10/10, scratches an itch I didn’t know my brain had

Weapon-focus is the study of eyewitness memory and the ability to recall details when threatened with a weapon. Dr. Jonathan Fawcett leads a multinational team of experts who research the phenomenon, including a team of @memorialu.bsky.social student researchers. gazette.mun.ca/research/vir...

My heart breaks for the student, a 19-year old trans woman; for her family; for the LGBTQIA+ community at UW; and for all affected by this horrific loss. Trans people deserve to live without fear, free from the rhetoric and actions that fuel this kind of violence. She deserved so much better.

Wimsatt: Perhaps, just perhaps, the best explanation of a phenomenon at a given level is to be found at the same level. Kendler: Noone would seek to explain hypertension at the level of quarks. A few of my favourite papers on this topic of absurd biological reductionism: 🧵

May your Sunday be as relaxing as the Sunday of a cat in a sunny spot.

This...the fetishizing of unreplicable neuroscience in order to legitimize our work is self-defeating. We don't need to know that depression is in the brain (as opposed to what???) to know it is problematic. How much money have we wasted proving something like depression is "real"?

1. According to a heartbreaking large new survey, trans youth who desire to obtain hormone therapy and cannot get it face double the suicide attempt risk. Only 10% of trans youth under 18 are on hormone therapy. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-yout...

Read Wind Breaker.

Wind Breaker may not be the best martial arts/delinquent anime/manga I've seen, but it's the first one to focus so much on both a trans character and their journey to accepting who they are AND a mentor character whose entire essence is healthy masculinity. Wish the writing was 20% better tho

Saw lots of beautiful birds, warblers like the great northern and Tennessee warbler and the ever so affectionate butterbutt. But didn't get any photos of them today. So instead, you get a mamma goose and gosling and a GRACKLE.

Speaking of crazy d values, this reminds me of this feature I was thinking about adding to the forest() function in metafor. #Rstats #MetaAnalysis

Ian Hussey (@ianhussey.mmmdata.io) contacted me about the recurring problem of unusually large SMD values appearing in published meta-analyses. Very large SMDs can result from using SEs in place of SDs in their calculation, which is a mistake I have also seen in practice. 1/4

Whenever you hear talk about the “recency”of trans, gender-diverse, or gender-variant existence (wholly unfounded, see Erlick, 2025; Heyman, 2024), remember that THE premier institute studying gender diversity was purposefully destroyed, making it easier for political smucks to spread misinformation

“What the Wind Blew In” (2018) 13.5" X 15.25" acrylic on 1/4 inch oak veneer plywood by Reilly Fitzgerald. The iceberg season has started in Newfoundland and Labrador. One of my "wood grain paintings" which uses the natural wood patterns as a guide for the background and some significant elements.

Don't come if you're trans. Let's be honest, don't come if you're cis. It isn't safe here.
