this whole shit with ozempic as a trendy weight loss drug rly makes you realize the moral panic around hrt has about as much backbone as a cracked toothpick
taking hormones is a horrible invasive procedure that you do because you are a sick freak who hates normal people
but if you take ozempic while not being diabetic to lose weight, you are just caring about your health <3 and practicing self-care <3
Bigots say whatever argument they need to say to force temporary conformity of oppressed groups, even when that temporary conformity comes at the cost of human lives.

The hashtag Tanahashi has used here is the ceremony for retiring sumo wrestlers, where a retired sumo wrestler has his topknot cut to symbolize moving on from his life as an active wrestler.

this is an example of defamiliarization, where something totally normal, conventional, and ordinary - like honkwiching - is taken and described as something that sounds weird and foreign
Hey, man, c'mere. Listen. Get in real close, this is important.
You’re gonna make stuff again. You’re gonna make stuff you’re proud of. You’re gonna make stuff you’re excited to share. You’re going to feel that overwhelming drive to create, not just the frantic I want to want to you’re stuck in now. You’re going to have awesome ideas, and you’re going to make them into reality. You’re going to create again. You’re still an artist. You’re still a writer. You’re still home to the same passion you had before. You’ll find it again. It’s not gone. It’s just resting. Let it rest. You’re going to make stuff again. I promise.
Serious Post here is a yarn i made this week and examples from each stage! It is a semi-woolen spun, lofty, cute yarn. I think I knit that swatch on US4 but since I am a goober I didn’t actually take notes.
Roving purchased from Island Fibers on San Juan Island, WA; I ordered it by telephone since I am 100 years old.
