I'm the kind of shy girl that isn't able to talk much even if you start the conversation; but when you talk about one of my passions I could literally talk your ear out for hours and then feel bad multiple times throughout because I assume you don't actually wanna listen to me and that I'm being annoying and that I'm just a bother and you're just trying to be nice to not hurt my feelings
Bruce Wayne, sitting in a cute eco-friendly cafe while on a video call with Tim: Oh Noooo, are you sure there’s no way the board of directors will let us get rid of this old decrepit Wayne Factory building that is unsafe for our workers and also for the surrounding environment?
CEO Tim, with equal gravitas: No, I’m afraid they just won’t budge. It technically meets legal requirements on paper, and we can’t prove that the chemicals affecting the local ecosystem that have no other possible source are from the out-of-date drainage system… they’re saying it would cost too much to fix the place up too, which is ridiculous, because we’re us, but our hands are tied…
Bruce, full Brucie himbo mode: Oh I just feel so SAD for all the sweet fluffy animals and the pretty flowers and especially our hard workers dealing with such unsafe conditions… I think I’ll give them all a nice short vacation this weekend, so the ENTIRE PLACE will be EMPTY and SHUT DOWN from FRIDAY TO TUESDAY, the SECURITY SYSTEM WILL BE DOWN because it’s just so GLITCHY, I’m sure nothing will happen to the ENVIRONMENTAL STAIN ON OUR COMPANIES NAME THAT WILL BE COMPLETELY ABANDONED FROM FRIDAY TO TUESDAY- Timmy do you think I’m being too subtle?
Tim, snickering: no no you’re doing great Bruce I’m sure they’ve got it
Poison Ivy, on a date the next table over: ( ‘-‘)-☕️
Harley, through tears of repressed laughter: so… we doing anythin’ this weekend?
Bruce and Ivy are making direct eye contact the entire time.

Both Parties are not the same.
I just wanted to bring this back with some pictures of Democratic Governors signing bills to expand access to free meals at school
Tim Walz of Minnesota
Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania
Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan
one party wants to feed kids, one party wants to starve them, you pick which one you're on.
They claim that being Queer is harmful to kids and these fascist punks think that starving children is a good thing??? The fuck bro?
The way the US Constitution is written the Dems need a decent majority in the House, at least 60 Senators, and the Presidency to get anything you are wanting done. Mad about it? So am I. Get off your ass and elect more Dems. Quit whining and start doing. NO THEY AREN'T THE SAME> JEEEEEZUS
This right here, this is the key
So frequently the complaint I see about the Dems is "they don't do anything/they don't do enough" but I never see the people who say this really examin why, they just say "it's cuz the Dems don't really care" and ignore the elephants in the room who are blocking/limiting the Dems efforts
As you mentioned, to get some real major progress, the Dems need control of both chambers of congress, more seats in those chambers, and the presidency, Because that's just how it works, one chamber, simple/small majorities and the presidency isn't enough, and to have more seats we need to get out and vote
Don't like that the system is this way? Me neither, but that's how it is, and you won't change it by refusing to vote, and the best way to change it is the same way we get major progress above, you vote, you get the Presidency, 60+ seats in the senate and a house majority of several dozen seats
This is the picture Amazon sent my BIL to say the packages were “delivered to a family member directly”
You just know his ass is saying roo roo
did i tell u guys i got into an argument on twitter bc i said foxes are dogs and someone tried to bring up their actual fuckin. classification or whatever and i just said “foxes are dogs cause they are fluffye” and they kept arguing with me. the entire time i was like “you will not survive the immigration to tumblr you are lucky we are not there right now”
This is especially funny because they aren’t even right. Foxes *ARE* dogs.
No they aren’t.
yes they are. because they are fluffye.
OK yes they are.
Different family, but same order as @pictures-of-dogs
No, they are the same family. They are the same kingdom, phylum, order and family. They separate at the genus.
They’re a dog.
yeah they’re fluffye
theyre literally not dogs theyre not even fluffy. can we get science tumblr over hear or what!?
checkmate athiests
fluffye
okay but they literally are dogs, for those who are confused
If foxes are dogs, then so are wolves, coyotes, dingoes, jackals, and several other extant and extinct species.
Behold! A dog.
of course it’s a dog you buffoon. it’s fluffye.
Why on earth would someone think “BUT IF THEY’RE DOGS SO AR -”
Like yes of course wolves are dogs, where have you been. Jackals are excellent doggies! So are coyotes. Why is this confusing.
I love that this is literally two completely different arguments running simultaneously.
That guy up there who said they’re not even fluffy was thinking of sharks
sharks are also dogs. ravenous water dogs, but still dogs
Sharks can NOT be dogs they are SMOOTH

Sharks are NOT smooth they are spikey scaly pointy
well, sharks are smooth if you pet them one way, they are spiky, pet the other.
sharks ar elike a sea ouppy therfore they are dog : 3
In all seriousness though, if people don’t consider all of Canidae to be dogs, it means that Albertosaurus can’t be considered a Tyranosaurid, even though it actually just is. Sharks are also just water puppies :3

TRANS WOMEN: HERE'S SOME SHIT YOUR DOCTOR WONT TELL YOU ABOUT HRT
1. Progesterone: not for everyone, but for many people it may increase sex drive and WILL make your boobs bigger. Also effects mood in ways that many find positive (but some find negative). Most doctors won’t prescribe this to you unless you ask. Most trans girls I know swear by it.
2. Injectible estrogen: is more effective than pill or patch form. Get on it if you can bear needles bc you will see more effects more quickly.
3. Estradiol Cypionate: There is currently a shortage of injectible estradiol valerate. There is no shortage of estradiol cypionate. Functionally they do the same shit.
4. Bicalutamide: This is an anti-androgen that has almost none of the side-effects of spironolactone or finasteride. The girls I know who are on it are evangelical about it.
@euryale-dreams
Are there HRT medications that don’t increase blood clot risk? I’m already at risk because of my blood pressure, and my doctor won’t prescribe HRT that increases clot risk while I’m on the medication - and I may never not be on the medication.
Absolutely.
The concerns surrounding venous thromboembolic events as a side-effect of hormone replacement therapy can mostly be traced back to one particular study known as the Women’s Health Initiative. This study was an enormous undertaking which, unfortunately, demonstrated significant adverse effects of the hormone therapies studied. As a result of this the use of hormone replacement therapy in postmenopausal cis women was dramatically reduced as the medical community began to question whether or not the therapy caused more harm than good.
Naturally, trans women have been suffering from this fall-out ever since.
What physicians seem to fail to recognize is that the study examined a very specific hormone regimen which was, arguably, outmoded at the time the study was conducted: It examined the use of conjugated equine estrogen (Premarin) with or without the use of medroxyprogesterone acetate. Neither of these drugs is regularly used for the treatment of transgender women.
The estrogen most commonly used to treat transgender women nowadays is 17β-estradiol either in pill form or in the form of a sticky patch that you apply to your skin. Esters of estrogen (e.g. estradiol valerate) are also sometimes used either in a pill form or as an intramuscular injection.
Transdermal estradiol patches are the gold standard when it comes to treating women who are at high risk of a venous thromboembolic event. It simply does not increase the risk of developing a venous thromboembolism. The only thing you should keep in mind is that patches are not always well tolerated because of the lifestyle changes required to keep them from falling off and the fact that they tend to irritate the skin.
Fortunately, oral 17β-estradiol appears to be safe, regardless of the increased risk. At least one large study has shown that the use of oral estradiol in trans women is not associated with venous thromboembolic events. An individual woman’s risk would need to be substantial in order to contraindicate the use of oral estradiol.
For those who have significant risk of venous thromboembolism because they have had a previous thromboembolic event, because they are paralyzed, or because of some other factor it is good to know the relative risk between oral and transdermal estrogen. The latest research indicates that the use of transdermal estrogen lowers your risk of a thromboembolism to 80% of what your risk would be using oral estrogens.
It’s difficult to find hard numbers regarding the relative risk of venous thromboembolic events with regards to hypertension. The best I could find after an hour or so of searching was this study regarding VTE in lung cancer patients. Hypertension increased the risk by a factor of 1.8.
However, to put that into perspective being of African descent increases your relative risk for deep vein thrombosis by a factor of 1.3 when compared to Europeans. Europeans are, themselves, at increased risk when compared to Asians and Pacific Islanders by a considerable margin: a four-fold increase.
I should point out that being ‘male’ is also a risk factor for developing a thromboembolism and hormones are likely to be a contributing factor. Also, menopause is another serious risk factor. Given this information it is likely that the use of transdermal estradiol will lower your risk of thromboembolic events significantly.
As far as the anti-androgen is concerned: The primary use for spironolactone for cisgender people is as an antihypertensive.
Even if the risk of thromboembolism was truly significant with modern hormone replacement therapy it wouldn’t justify what your doctor is doing to you. The fact is that mortality in the transgender community from suicide–caused in part due to the lack of access to hormone therapy–is substantial. The quality of life lost when a trans woman is denied hormone therapy is substantial. The fact that your doctor does not appear to be taking this into consideration when they weigh the risk of thromboembolism against not receiving necessary medical care is deeply concerning.
I strongly recommend that you seek a doctor who is more sensitive to your medical needs as a transgender woman.
Edit: Fixed a minor, but embarrassing, error.
oh wow this is so helpful & good info
Everyone who cares about transfem people please reblog this
this was really fucking helpful
I know a lot of trans women dont have acess to information like this and its very helpful.
unfortunately progesterone is incredibly inconsistent with its results. it either barely works, if at all, or it works great. I’ve read a recent medical study that suggests that taking it rectally (which i don't even think there’s currently a form on the market to take it that way) is much more effective and could hopefully have results on people who see none with the pills.
i suggest this website for anyone who is interested in any trans related studies. they also have an injectable estradiol simulator, so you can calculate a general dosage in case you’re diy: https://transfemscience.org/
ChatGPT is running out of money because they haven't actually figured out how to make money with the plagiarism engine they created.

Because I'm only seeing other Jews posting about this, non-Jews I need you to be aware that for the past month or two there has been a wave of bomb threats and swattings at synagogues all across the US. They usually do it when services are being livestreamed. I haven't seen a single non-Jew talking about this. High holidays are coming up in a few weeks, which is when most attacks happen against our communities. We're worried, and we need people to know what's happening to us.
This is literally the first I heard, and that pisses me off because according to this article in the New York Post:
a synagogue in Fremont, California was forced to evacuate worshippers Friday after a possible bomb threat was made, police said.
I was in Fremont last Friday less than two miles away and I did not hear a word of this at all.
That's how thoroughly isolated our local Jewish community is being kept from the rest of us.
How fucked up is that!?
Even now, searching online, I'm not finding articles in the major local newspapers about it. Why are the SJ Mercury and the SF Guardian not reporting on fucking bomb threats issued in Fremont? Literally the only local news source I'm finding on it is KTVU, which is our local Fox station, and all they said was:
FREMONT, Calif. - A synagogue in Fremont was evacuated Friday after a possible bomb threat was made, police said. Fremont police responded around 8 p.m. at the Beth Torah Jewish Temple on 42000 Paseo Padre Parkway after receiving reports of a bomb on the property. After evacuating the members inside and performing a search of the facility and surrounding area, no "suspicious devices or persons" were seen.
Beyond raising awareness, though, I admit I've no clue what to DO about it.
PragerU, a right-wing advocacy group, has made its way into the classroom with kids' videos deemed “misleading.”
this is genuinely very disturbing
The massive push to rewrite the history of slavery isn't just about white people not wanting to feel guilt about the horrific things their ancestors did. They want to bring it back. They've brought back child labor, now they want to bring back chattel slavery.
