trans folks + allies: get a binder/give a binder (whispered) (+ updates)

hi! i'm taking more time to rest. my vacation continues! my goal is to get back to posting episodes in February. i'll be transitioning to posting every other week instead of every week as i have been up until recently... this schedule will fit my current ~life situation~ better. new early-access episodes are already available to listen to on my patreon page for as little as $1/month: https://patreon.com/bluemindasmr (new binder-support tiers are live!)

this episode is for trans folks and our allies~
