~5 mg (~0.10 mL; 50 mg/mL concentration) estradiol enanthate injected intramuscularly into the vastus lateralis in our left thigh using our Union Medico auto-stabber and a 25 mm 25G TotalDose low dead space needle 💉

Had a perfect stab with no pain or even discomfort. However, the moment we pulled the needle out, whooooooooooosh with the blood!

This is a really good reminder that even when you've been literally doing injections for years, you can and will sometimes get a bleeder.

It's why it's recommended to always have something on hand to stop the bleeding, as it'll quickly stop (barring you having issues with clotting or taking certain meds).

And always have your medical plaster (aka bandaid) ready to go 🩹

Now we're thinking of the Republica song of that name lol 🤭

Gender binary is:
❌ male/female

Re: Vanderbilt hospital deciding to end gender affirming surgeries for adults via Erin In the Morning and who quoted someone saying the very thing I've been yelling into the ether:

“We’re used to having to fight a lot for our rights, for our healthcare, and just to be recognized,” the chair told Erin in the Morning. “The survival of all trans folks depends upon the survival of trans folks in the South.”

“They’re going to come after the South first, make sure that their tactics work,” he continued. “Then they’re going to push them out to other states. That’s what we continue to see."

Go for it, I say. It’ll only make it funnier when he loses for second time. 😂

Can we send some help for the #Vulpibus folks today please?

Food, water, EV charging, laundry.
Basic costs. Somehow these days they need hundreds of dollars because currency is imaginary numbers that keep increasing for the same damn things.

What a "wonderful" world...

A little reminder that the small press I run is open for #LGBTQIA2S+ fiction submissions.

Per usual, used the IM method we learnt from the Plume guide. Got a perfect spot tonight: no pain going in or out, despite us being emotionally and mentally exhausted. Teeny spot o' blood, but quickly wiped and covered with a medical plaster.

Did it to this EP by Mekaloton.

No joy out of doing the injection tonight though. No euphoria. Just... nothing.

Nobody changes the world through office chit-chat. Right? 👀

Well, a friendly water cooler chat between UVic Libraries' Transgender Archives Metadata Librarian Michael Radmacher and Kula's first International Visiting Fellow @Lambo, head of the @tibosl at @tibhannover, eventually led to a transatlantic connection with the Queerbrarians — a European network of LGBTQIA+ library professionals.

The result: a growing international network of Queer & Trans+ colleagues who support each other's work to put LGBTQIA+ communities' voices at the center of how their histories are preserved and shared.

Made ourselves do it earlier (before dinner) this evening, so we'd:

• Actually do it on the correct day (rather than run out of spoons and have to do it the next day).
• Have a better chance of working what we'd been doing wrong with a few recent injections with the auto-injector.
  • We reckon our grip had been slipping whilst doing Z-track when we were tired, causing issues when pulling out the needle.

Absolutely zero issues this evening 🥰

We listened to this song by Stomach Book, which our lovely friend Lexi recently introduced us to. (She has epic taste in music.)
