Today is the start of early voting! It’s an absolutely gorgeous fall morning. I voted for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and got TWO stickers. Best possible way to start my day.

literature reviewing is fun because you end up reading papers more closely than probably anyone has, so you find cute little discrepancies like this
screenshot from an article highlighting the text "Penile and anal human papillomavirus (HPV) is highly prevalent in the female citation" and hovering over the linked citation that follows the phrase screenshot of the reference cited in the previous article, showing the beginning of the methods section. the phrase "cervicovaginal swab specimens" is highlighted to underscore the conflicting fact that the city study only examined cervical HPV prevalence. the methods section also shows that the study uses data from NHANES 2003-2004, which means that they would most likely be working with an entirely cisgender sample.

Fixed it!
Article title reading “Instead of vaccines, RFK Jr. focuses on unconventional measles treatments, driving worries about misinformation” has letters crossed out in red marker, so that title instead reads “I am driving misinformation”

I'm using #nvivo for the first time and coded a lot of selected areas in addition to regular text. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to view both types of content for a particular code—it just gives me weird numbers. Any guidance from #qualitative #research folks on here? #academicsky #phdlife
Screenshot of Nvivo interface with a blue toolbar on the left and grey toolbar above. The main content of the screen shows a list of the project's codes and the window on the right shows a list of articles with coded excerpts for each file. Some of the excerpts show the selected text from the articles, while the excerpts that were selected areas just show a set of seemingly meaningless numbers.

I’m very excited to read things that bring me joy and expand my knowledge. I’m eager to use my NYPL card more, especially for audio/e-books. This is my first book of the year and I love it. I’d be highlighting every page if it were my own physical copy.
Screenshot of StoryGraph page for book titled “What Can a Body Do?: How We Meet the Built World” by Sara Hendren, published in 2020. The screen shows that I am 16% of the way through the book which I started on Jan 1, 2025, and it’s filed under currently reading. Generated tags include nonfiction, nature, technology, challenging, informative, reflective, and medium-paced. The initial sentence of the blurb describes the book as “A fascinating and provocative new way of looking at the things we use and the spaces we inhabit, and a call to imagine a better-designed world for us all.”

The reason they denied the claim? Apparently my hysterectomy exceeded the number of physiotherapy sessions my plan allowed. A completely careless error in the system somewhere. 3/
Picture of the letter from my insurance company denying my claim, stating that it’s over the limit of the twelve allowed physiotherapy sessions and that they would need copies of all session notes before they would review the request for coverage/benefits.

I just think it’s funny when dems say we NEED to vote b*den OR ELSE tr*mp will be prez again which would be AWFUL for LGBTQ folks. like, we’re on track to have HALF of all states ban care for trans youth, the majority of which has happened on Joe’s watch!
Graph titled “explosion of bills targeting transgender healthcare in recent years, and nearly all target youth.” The graph shows the number of state bills (y-axis) per year (x-axis) that ban or restrict trans healthcare. On the bottom, the legend notes that orange represents youth-specific bills white red represents all bills targeting trans care. From 2017-2019, there was 1 bill/year explicitly targeting trans youth out of an average of 4/year targeting trans care overall. This was followed by tremendous increases in 2020-2023. In 2020, there were 25 bills all targeting youth. In 2021, 40/41 bills targeted youth. In 2022, all 32 bills targeted youth. In 2023 (only through April 1 of that year) there were 126 bills targeting trans healthcare, 110 of which focused on trans youth.
