I keep seeing this absolutely ridiculous AI generated weapon commercial, and it's so obvious I do not live in the same reality as conservatives.
What violent looting?? Who cares if a car is sitting outside your house??
I do not feel the need to carry a weapon; I don't have main character syndrome🙃

Creativity is a process.
It's. A. PROCESS.
If you don't love the process, that's okay. However, you can't skip that and still call it creativity or art.
There's no debate here. No dissembling. The end result—the product—of creativity isn't the defining characteristic.

In so many ways, I often feel like a very different person (in an extremely good way) since starting HRT last year. Even in the roughest times, my perspective on life feels like it can return to healthier areas of reflection and self-value, which always felt like an impossibility previously.
HRT really is a miracle drug because the change in my partner's mental health these past few months has been astounding.
So much less self-hatred, she's happier, she makes her bed and takes care of her space more, and she just seems more herself in a way I didn't know was possible.

This is wonderful news, and also means it’s time for me to beat the drum I always do when HPV vaccines make the news:
They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

HRT really is magic because before I went on T was miserable and depressed and was noticeably withdrawn and self-isolating from a lot of people and that practically reversed after the first few injections. This just in! Feeling at home in your body is good for your mental health it turns out!
