menstruation + covid vax
Oh hey there's an actual study gathering data on the menstrual side effects of covid vaccines: https://redcap.healthinstitute.illinois.edu/surveys/index.php?s=LL8TKKC8DP
I just did the thing and they did a basically fine job of making the language in the survey gender-neutral so that's cool ✔️
If you are a menstruator (past or present) and have had at least one vaccine dose, consider participating!
Wa pol, police
A Brady List is a list of officers who are not allowed to testify in court because they've shown they lack credibility. At least 183 Brady List officers are actively employed in WA.

Job angst
I received a job offer for a job that sounds amazing, but it's grant funded for 2 years, and that's freaking me out a bit. Funding may continue...
I'm super comfortable at my current job and I'm about to be there five years which is where I would start getting things like extra vacation and I'm having so much indecisive angst. Benefits would be slightly worse... But amazing opportunity to participate in creating data on equitable trans youth Healthcare and to build the program.
Ever wanted to make your own silicone sex toys?
Good news: I've finished writing up a huge guide on how to do that!

We've been stalked, had strangers surveiling the property, chatter about us on local right wing message boards, and we've been receiving death threats online. We're hoping to buy extra security stuff like cameras

Recommendations needed!
Audio playing software where I can point it to an external hard-drive and it can play many varieties of music file (.flac, etc).
Bonus points for tagging abilities and being able to play preferably full albums in random order, but random tracks okay, without the need to build playlists.
I have a windows machine right now!
Feel free to boost!
Netflix binges
Today I finished binge watching kipo and the wonderbeasts, and I binged all of i am not ok with this (and then borrowed the comic it's based on in hoopla and read all of that too). Both ended in cliffhangers and I hope I get to see where they're going.
Also yay queer characters and characters of color. I would recommend them both!
