So at age 72, I want to reverse the numbers and go back to 27. But I want to know what I know now. And I don’t wanna go on any diet, pay any money, or go anywhere to do it.

 "The Morning" by French painter Louis-Joseph-Raphaël Collin, created in 1884

It's of a woman dressed for the period leaning out a window.

There's white texted add that reads: What fresh hell awaits? I mean good morning, sunshines

Share Your Concern Have you seen a radical, divisive ideology creep into healthcare? We want to hear your story and help you fight back.

What a shame it would be if this anti-trans tip line was flooded with dead ends and trolls so they can’t use it anymore.
