I recently started HRT. The most shocking thing to me wasn’t the reversal of the dry skin or mood swings, it was the elimination of chronic hip pain. I was doing weekly therapeutic massage to manage it. Within 3 days of starting HRT the pain was gone. 7 years of weekly massage instead of a patch 😡

The 
@LemkinInstitute
 is calling on every leader in the world to step in immediately with measures that ensure food and water gets into Gaza right now. 

No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits.

Wow—the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly:

"No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT."

"HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."

one of the really fundamental unspoken US ideas for a long time was that men above a certain social level should never face consequences. this bought us Trump 2 in two ways, both in the failure to punish him and in the rage about MeToo breaking this rule

In a functioning democracy, a president who
-tries to seize Congress's constitutional spending powers
-attempts to rewrite the Constitution unilaterally
-pardons violent insurrectionists who attacked the government
-fires the Inspectors General and DOJ prosecutors

would face immediate impeachment

Father of 11-Year-Old Killed in Ohio Crash Says Trump and Vance Used Son's Death for 'Political Gain
YouTube video by WTRF Father of 11-Year-Old Killed in Ohio Crash Says Trump and Vance Used Son's Death for 'Political Gain

My god, I am in awe of these parents. I can’t imagine experiencing a tragedy like they have and I know I wouldn’t have the grace or strength to speak out about scapegoating others while in the depths of my grief. Amazing

Also, fuck Donald Trump and JD Vance. #LiveLikeAiden

Tweet from Tom Nichols saying "Watching a CNN segment about how Harris is preparing for the debate, and I kind of hope she doesn't do that 'I am speaking' thing. I know people want to see it, but I don't think it's gonna be the right move. 

Reply from Proud Navy Veteran: I agree. Anger of any kind will be unhelpful.

Men police women's anger because anger gives women the courage to fight injustice.

And women often internalize these judgments to the point where they hesitate to let themselves or other women be angry, even and maybe, especially when getting angry is the first step in getting free.

Vance has children, I do not.
Only one of us believes in free meals for children of school age, free quality education in public schools, free healthcare at the point of service and government subsidized child care. Which one is the psycho, and which one is invested in society?
