It wasn't a bad film, it was just really long, before long blockbusters like Lord of the Rings came into style.

It's about time Strange Days finally begins getting the retrospective love and respect it deserves. To me, it's the best pre-Matrix cyberpunk film other than Blade Runner and Robocop, and still better than most cyberpunk films made since.

30 years ago, Katherine Bigelow made a sci-fi flop that changed her career for the better

Strange Days is a noir-soaked science-fiction thriller set against a backdrop of racial tension, police brutality, sexual assault, and disruptive tech

I am currently working up the courage to actually try out my first prescription for T-gel for my hella early menopause 😅

Oh Joy Sex Toy @ohjoysextoy.bsky.social · 1d

@jpawlik.com didn't get on HRT because they didn't like needles. But when they learned about T-GEL that's absorbed through the skin, they got their T-party started!
www.ohjoysextoy.com/to-a-t-gel-j...

To A T-Gel Comic by Jey Pawlik, done in cool minty green tones with heavy blacks and black linework. Jey is a nonbinary person who uses they/them pronouns, has big rectangular glasses, short cropped hair with a few greys. They wear simple clothes like graphic tees and jeans throughout the comic.

Narration: I hemmed and hawed about going on HRT* for so long in my 20s.

A younger Jey ponders and says “Maybe I could try it? A bit more facial hair and a lower voice sounds real nice.

Note: Hormone replacement therapy

Narration: At the time, the only option that was available to me was injections at a full dose.
A needle is shown front and center.

Narration: I chickened out.

Jey sprint away telling themself “Nope! I don’t think T is for me actually!!”

Narration: Years later, I watched a friend transition using T-GEL.
Jey’s friend, who’s look has been changed for privacy, says “I’m starting T but it’s not injections—and it’s been pretty great!” we see Jey’s friend’s transition from pre-T to years on T with a full beard.

Jey looks excited and says “OH! I didn’t know that was even an option, and you look so happy! Maybe—maybe I could go on T after all!

Narration: I went through a lot of hoops to get there but eventually an endocrinologist prescribed me a dose of T-Gel that I was comfortable with as a nonbinary person.

A timeline of Jey in doctors offices, filling out mountains of paperwork, being put on long waitlists, until finally their endo says “Okay, I’ve sent your prescription off.” And Jey lifts their arms up in success “YAY!”

Narration: T-Gel is a form of topical testosterone. It can come in packets, tubes, or a pump bottle that you apply according to your prescription.

Tubes, packets and the common pump bottle of T-Gel are drawn.

Jey has their hands on their hips looking defensive as speech bubbles fill the entire background behind them, berating T-Gel and saying it’s hard to use or isn’t as good as injections. Jey says “I think it’s really amazing but I’ve also seen it get a bad rap."

A pink ribbon unfurls across the bottom of the page, reading "Read the rest on ohjoysextoy.com"
