girls I know this isn’t at the top of the concerns list but you’re gonna want to stop eating commercially produced meat real soon
Look into "community supported agriculture" subscription boxes and visit the farms around you that participate should food regs get slashed further in order to vet cleanliness practices. These plans are cheaper than trash like Blue Apron 9/10 times and you're guaranteed fresh, local produce that's in season along w/ your meat should you choose a plan like that. Sometimes you can pick what you get and some plans even come with recipe cards. A lot of these subscriptions are pick-up only, but if you're disabled or housebound it's worth calling to ask about delivery options.
Stockpile HRT now.
To my brothers on T I know this is gonna be harder for you so please listen up:
First, if your doctor is open to it, ask for the 2000mg/10ml vial, you'll need to be careful to keep it clean and free of contamination from the stopper, but the expiration dates will typically be a year plus. Please specify the 10ml vial and not a three month supply, the difference is minimal but important.
Next, have it sent to a busy, understaffed CVS (most of them are busy and understaffed). If your insurance doesn't cover CVS use GoodRx, at time of writing it should be about $50. Our system by default makes us mark the 10ml vial as a 28 day supply regardless of the dosage because we cannot guarantee a beyond use date beyond that (as I said, non-zero chance of contamination, use a 90 degree angle and a alcohol pad every time and you'll be fine). Only the most stickler of pharmacists or technicians are going to bother changing it - if they even know the system workaround to bypass it.
Then, come to refill it the next month. If they marked the first fill as 28 day supply (you can see on your label in the lower right near the price) it will process without any red flags in the system and will again will likely slip by all but the most stickler of pharmacists and techs. If they marked it as something longer just explain that your doctor told you to discard the vial after 28 days per USP guidelines and so you were a good boy and already threw it out, this should work against all but the biggest douchebag of a pharmacist. If that fails and your doctor is cooperative, have them call the pharmacy and authorize an early fill - if that doesn't work try another pharmacy.
If all goes well you'll probably be able to fill two to three vials in a row before anyone starts to question things.
I cannot speak for other pharmacies, but in general retail pharmacy is kind of a shit show right now so a busy store in another chain is also probably going to just go by USP even if their instincts or morals tell them to be jerks about it.
If anyone has any questions or if you need advice on a situation I didn't cover please DM me anytime, or hell send me an anon ask if you're shy. If anyone's insurance requires a non-CVS pharmacy and you can't afford the $50 let me know and I can find a tech at another pharmacy to see if they have any advice that would be relevant to their chain.
To my transfemme sisters, you've got it a little easier. Have your doc send your meds with a 12 month supply to a pharmacy you don't typically use, use GoodRx if you have to, none of the usual drugs in a transfemmes HRT regiment should be extremely expensive. Tell them you're going out of the country in a week or two and would like to purchase the entire year's supply at once. A year's supply of 2mg estradiol tabs taken four times daily (the max dose I've ever seen) is $75 on GoodRx at CVS right now. They'll probably need to order more tabs in but again only the biggest stickers are gonna question it. (You can also send to your usual pharmacy if you don't take any other meds, but I recommend not returning for at least a year just to be on the safe side. It's not illegal, but again you could run into some stickler pharmacist who calls your bluff and refuses further fills or tattles to your doctor or something.)
Again, please please please don't hesitate to send me DMs or asks if you have any questions or need specific advice.
wait so you like problematic yaoi?
lets take a moment to think about this one critically
if you remove the cannibalism, manipulation, murder, abuse of power, non consensual shoving of an ear down one’s throat, unsafe bdsm, power dynamics, unethical therapy practices, framing for murder, intentionally feeding of a type of soup that worsens encephalitis to a person with encephalitis, sawing one’s head open, paralyzing, killing the support group of your potential partner, abandonment, body horror
I think hannigram is pretty healthy
forgot the age gap
how could I forget the age gap…
Genuinely. Why does elliot pages hair look like that
I dont know what all yalls problem is. He looks like a very genuine and kind guy with that haircut and good on him for having the reasonable reaction of "thank god I don't have to keep pushing exhausting social beauty standards of appearance anymore." And yall are out here on tumblr dot com trying to wrap him back into a neat little "I watched too much queen eye" parcel, thinking all queer men should be polished, effeminate and appealing things.
Elliot Page lived as a woman for a long time and i think they know what a hairdresser is and that they also do "men's" cuts. I'm sneering when I say this. Stop trying to force queer people into just another binary.
Sometimes it blows my mind that there are people that don’t wear glasses/contacts. Like they can literally see with no aid. Like they wake up and just be out here seeing. What a wild concept.
And people say stuff like ‘lol don’t you hate it when you look up in the middle of the night and see a spider on your ceiling’ like bitch (!!) i could have Nicholas II last czar of Russia hangin from my ceiling fan and i would be none the wiser
Dude when I got my eyesight corrected it was so novel and weird to just be able to just wake up and. Just see. It was months before I stopped reaching for glasses
i’m dying at the ratio of re/quote tweets to likes

new fun trend: take this quiz and tell me your score
hey. listen. when you use too much detergent in your laundry you aren't making your clothes cleaner, you are making them degrade faster. the machine isn't able to rinse out the entire cup of soap you put in, so some of it is left in the fibers of your clothes. when they dry this makes the fabric stiffer and more brittle, so the fibers are more likely to erode and break. over time this makes your clothes wear out much faster than if they were properly rinsed with minimal soap. you are wasting money by overusing detergent, not just on the detergent itself but the clothes you are shortening the lifespan of.
you are also ruining your clothes by cramming too many into the wash at once. the machine washes them by agitating them and rubbing them together but if they're crammed in there there's more friction. so they're less likely to get clean and they're wearing each other out. don't use tiny loads of laundry bc that's a waste of water but focus on medium sized loads with only a tablespoon or two max of laundry detergent.
you can also hang up your cotton shirts to dry to prevent them from shrinking in the dryer, and to maximize the lifespan of printed graphics on your shirts or sweatshirts. this saves electricity and keeps your clothes nicer for longer.
fabric softener is a scam, you don't need it because most detergents come with a softening agent already. dryer sheets are handy to minimize static in the dryer, but you can get a reusable wool ball that does the same purpose so they're not necessary either.
use bleach detergents sparingly, only if you notice your whites becoming stained or dingy. using bleach on every load of whites will degrade them.
also most of the time you really only need to wash with cool water. unless something is really soiled, (especially with something greasy, remember heat melts and removes grease,) cold water works just fine for day to day dirty clothes.
that's all
There's a key point missing here, and that is that detergents are surfactants and not saniterial by rote. So when you wash your undies and dish towels with your clothes ESPECIALLY in cold water, congrats, now you have poopy dish towels, cleaner-infused undies, and nasty shirts.
In ye olden days, household linens and undergarments were BOILED with a little surfactant soap. The soap for the dirt, stains, and a nice smell, and the boiling water for sanitizing.
You absolutely should be washing your undergarments and household linens separately from everything else, in hot water (70°F or higher) and doing a rinse cycle with a laundry sanitizer first before tossing in your detergent and running as normal. Your standard clothes could probably use a sanitizing run stat, and after that, run normal detergent-only runs with appropriate temperatures by fabric type.
So yes, use your detergents as sparingly as directed, especially with these modern shitty fabrics, but also do not expect that to be the be-all end-all.
In my household, we wash two different ways. I do the hybrid old-school and modern way, and the rest of the house does the full modern toss-it-all-in-with-a-tide-pod-on-cold and I can tell you right now that the moment they go in the dryer you can SMELL the difference in the venting air. I can also contest that you can smell it on the clothes after they come out, and the moment those dish towels get wet, they get RANK. There is a very good reason I started doing my own laundry separately 🤢

HAD to keep @furbearingbrick 's tag:
The previous "restorer" changed pretty much all of her features :(
Thousands of premature infants were saved from certain death by being part of a Coney Island entertainment sideshow.
At the time premature babies were considered genetically inferior, and were simply left to fend for themselves and ultimately die.
Dr Martin Couney offered desperate parents a pioneering solution that was as expensive as it was experimental - and came up with a very unusual way of covering the costs.
It was Coney Island in the early 1900’s. Beyond the Four-Legged Woman, the sword swallowers, and “Lionel the Lion-Faced Man,” was an entirely different exhibit: rows of tiny, premature human babies living in glass incubators.
The brainchild of this exhibit was Dr. Martin Couney, an enigmatic figure in the history of medicine. Couney created and ran incubator-baby exhibits on the island from 1903 to the early 1940s.
Behind the gaudy facade, premature babies were fighting for their lives, attended by a team of medical professionals.To see them, punters paid 25 cents.The public funding paid for the expensive care, which cost about $15 a day in 1903 (the equivalent of $405 today) per incubator.
Couney was in the lifesaving business, and he took it seriously. The exhibit was immaculate. When new children arrived, dropped off by panicked parents who knew Couney could help them where hospitals could not, they were immediately bathed, rubbed with alcohol and swaddled tight, then “placed in an incubator kept at 96 or so degrees, depending on the patient. Every two hours, those who could suckle were carried upstairs on a tiny elevator and fed by breast by wet nurses who lived in the building. The rest [were fed by] a funneled spoon. The smallest baby Couney handled is reported to have weighed a pound and a half.
His nurses all wore starched white uniforms and the facility was always spotlessly clean.
An early advocate of breast feeding, if he caught his wet nurses smoking or drinking they were sacked on the spot. He even employed a cook to make healthy meals for them.
The incubators themselves were a medical miracle, 40 years ahead of what was being developed in America at that time.
Each incubator was made of steel and glass and stood on legs, about 5ft tall. A water boiler on the outside supplied hot water to a pipe running underneath a bed of mesh, upon which the baby slept.
Race, economic class, and social status were never factors in his decision to treat and Couney never charged the parents for the babies care.The names were always kept anonymous, and in later years the doctor would stage reunions of his “graduates.
According to historian Jeffrey Baker, Couney’s exhibits “offered a standard of technological care not matched in any hospital of the time.”
Throughout his decades of saving babies, Couney understood there were better options. He tried to sell, or even donate, his incubators to hospitals, but they didn’t want them. He even offered all his incubators to the city of New York in 1940, but was turned down.
In a career spanning nearly half a century he claimed to have saved nearly 6,500 babies with a success rate of 85 per cent, according to the Coney Island History
In 1943, Cornell New York Hospital opened the city’s first dedicated premature infant station. As more hospitals began to adopt incubators and his techniques, Couney closed the show at Coney Island. He said his work was done.
Today, one in 10 babies born in the United States is premature, but their chance of survival is vastly improved—thanks to Couney and the carnival babies.

Book: The strange case of Dr. Couney

You know, when you think about it, Dr. Courney might have saved some 6000 babies in his life time - but if he pioneered the methods that we still use today, then he's saved every preemie baby since too.
OK BUT Did anyone else catch how Beth Allen is the premie in the picture and eventually became the New York Post Photographer who worked on that book/article? I'm going to cry
My chronic illnesses are making me ill, chronically, once more. Everybody focus their psychic beams at that rat bastard god and together we'll make that pompous sleazebag regret giving us free will. And psychic beams.
The pain meds kicked in. I could solve any cold case in America. Perhaps a few Canadian ones as well. And everyone wants to bake me a beautiful loaf of sourdough bread. Because I am so healthy and cute.
Sick again. 1-800-KILL-GOD.
Not beating the emo allegations tonight at the karaoke bar.
Song came on with a G, first note, and my and two other not-beating-the allegations people fucking froze and all locked eyes -_-
Okay but can anyone articulate the mindset that leads older people to feel like they NEED to know people's gender identity all the time? Like what's going on there
Probably growing up in nuclear household times where knowing everything about everyone else was how everyone was "kept in line" and how you maintained your social standing. Probably like Victorian etiquette, that may have been born out of public fear of the abnormal or uncontrolled. And now we have fox news making sure that the pipeline of social normativity does not include anything but cishet and that anything else is the "public" fear right now.
They gotta know so that they know they are more socionormative and therefore "better" than you. If it had no personal gain, then why the hell would they care what other people are doing? It's all to feel good about being the social cop and gaining honor for upholding "rightousness."
