The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.

Promotional artwork for the game Indika, showing the protagonist, a young nun, surrounded by older nuns who have exaggerated laughing faces, while Indika herself looks troubled.
โIndikaโ is a remarkable game. Stunning visuals. Solid, thoughtful script with excellent voice acting. Big on vibes and full of surprises. You play as a nun.

Where popular portrayals of polyamory most often miss the mark is in the idea that the practice is primarily about having sex with multiple partners. Polyamory is mostly about intimacy, not sex, and it has ethics at its core. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/polyamory-isnt-all-about-sex/

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministryโs casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.
Biden himself said they were fabricated!

โฐ Saturday 31 Jan, 12PM
๐Russell Square - Whitehall
Israelโs genocide against the Palestinian people has not ended. Join us for the next march for Palestine to demand our government end its complicity in Israelโs violence.

The attack hits civilians gathering firewood near Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, sources say.
Good morning.
A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive.
Thatโs not an accident. Itโs a choice made by those in power.
Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

Anyway, the real crazies are those freaky pollen-loving Spring people.
I appreciate the consistency ๐
Haha I believe the word โnutjobโ was initially fired by Team Sunshine.
Genuinely love the cold and dark ๐
But donโt worry, the spring and sun will be here in no time, and then it will be my turn to complain while youโฆ I dunno, what do summer people like?โฆ Sit on a warm rock like a lizard? ๐ฆ
Cosy monsters in our cosy monster caves, going for long monster walks in the crisp air and sipping delicious monster hot chocolate โ๏ธ

In response to the freezing temperatures, SWEP has been activated to ensure those sleeping rough have shelter.
If youโre worried about someone sleeping rough, notify StreetLink who can connect them with local services. One simple action can make a real difference.

Refreshing that itโs patient/culture-centred, and not myopically fixated (like so often) on whether it โtechnicallyโ meets the definition and specification of addiction.
And as the quoted therapist says: โnot an anti-porn crusadeโ. Actually focused on whatโs happening and what could be helpful.
It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people donโt want to โrunโ a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.
