GLP-1 Drugs Like Ozempic Might Have a Side Effect Nobody Expected gizmodo.com/glp-1-drugs-... I tried a few of these drugs from my doctor. I felt sick everyday, even after the 'period of adjustment'. Ozempic, Wegovy, etc did nothing to make my life better.

Would you choose to not have menstruation? www.mum.org/stopmen.htm I've read about men who think it is something women can turn off and on. If that were the case, most women would turn it off and leave it off. A lot of people would never have been born. #BiologicalWomen
"Would you stop menstruating if you could?" at the Museum of
Menstruation and Women's Health
Over 1000 women's responses to the
question of whether they would stop menstruation if they could,
and why.

Did Wasaga Beach, Ontario ever have a downtown? onthebaymagazine.com/the-way-wasa... It looks like it has always been a tourist place more than a downtown community sort of place.

My favourite glass mug came down with a crack today. Sadness upon the land. But, I found two blue glass mugs on Etsy to replace it with. I really like that dark shade of blue so it all works out in the end.

I feel that people these days are on constant Witch hunts. As if there is some great prize for rooting out anyone who does not strictly and completely adhere to the public's expectations/ demands. Its like walking/ talking around in a big trap with a hair trigger. Why do they want to live this way?
