“…Themes about gender-affirming care coalesced into the acronym AFFIRM: (1) Affirms in individual interactions: Participants called for affirmation of TGD identity, lived expertise, and competent TGD providers and staff. (2) Flexible and accessible: Participants expressed the need for gender-affirming care to be available beyond urban population-specific clinics, in a timely fashion without long wait lists, and in a community-centered manner such as offering non-traditional times and settings. (3) Fights systemic oppression: Participants emphasized the need for providers and health systems to eliminate gatekeeping practices for gender-affirming care and create care models that resist intersecting oppressive systems such as racism and cisgenderism. (4) Interacts with community: Patients desired intentional interaction with TGD community to holistically address health and unmet gender affirmation needs. (5) Retains patients in care: Patients shared the need to collaboratively identify and problem-solve obstacles to gender-affirming care with providers and healthcare systems to optimize TGD-specific retention strategies. (6) Multidisciplinary: Patients called for interdisciplinary teams with co-located services such as primary care and mental healthcare with letter-writing for surgical care, and incorporation of peer navigators to meet the broader social, health, and well-being needs of TGD people. …”

Compaction of Hyaloclastite from the Active Geothermal System at Krafla Volcano, Iceland by Guðjón H. Eggertsson, Jackie E. Kendrick, Joshua Weaver, Paul A. Wallace, James E. P. Utley, John D. Bedford, Michael J. Allen, Sigurður H. Markússon, Richard H. Worden, Daniel R. Faulkner, Yan Lavallée

“…Upon loading in a hydrostatic cell, the porosity and permeability of the surficial hyaloclastite decreased linearly with mean effective stress, as pores and cracks closed due to elastic (recoverable) compaction up to 22-24 MPa (equivalent to ~1.3 km depth in the reservoir). Beyond this mean effective stress, denoted as P∗, we observed accelerated porosity and permeability reduction with increasing confinement, as the rock underwent permanent inelastic compaction. …”
