I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power
urbanism is lowkey goated when petrocollapse is the vibe
in a just world, the girl who CRISPRed her balls to make estrogen would have three million dollars and a yacht
partially inspired by my insurance refusing to fill my progesterone prescription more than 20 days at a time. would be great to see a doctor once every few months and just be done with it
i wish research about new/better methods for delivering HRT were remotely possible now, like replacing shots + pills with pellets or implants
well, yes!
in less than 6 months Condé Nast got rid of every trans woman on editorial. there is no liberal media.

lil column a, lil column b i’m afraid
i wanted to find a different doctor out of principle but this was one of the only reputable ones I could find that took my insurance
I booked an appointment with a new dentist that was very obviously using an AI secretary, and whenever it was buffering/computing/whatever it played a fake keyboard typing sound effect and literally who is that for?
let's go 'Bos
They're deciding what to do with us.
i had salmon, sweet potatoes, and kale for dinner, feeling like a white woman’s purebred dog
alt, if you have bodyweight or dumbbell exercises you like in this genre feel free to share
i feel like a journalist oomfy posted their leg/butt/core workout routine on here a couple months ago and i meant to save it but forgot, if this sounds like u could u pls dm
idk if that fella's on T or not but it feels like that'd be a bigger fairness concern than my well-atrophied muscles
The IOC keeping men out of women's sports by making men compete in women's sports
Am I supposed to be thankful or inspired about the only trans person in the olympics being a man forced to compete with women? Because it just pisses me off lol
it was a 325ix, i absolutely loved it. perfect car for when you have like 2 friends, a job at a country club, and don't have to pay rent lol
i had an E30 in high school and even that thing had car play (resting my iPhone on the steering wheel)
my allegedly non-brutal firing involved:
–getting notified at 9pm that i lost my job of 5 years, effective immediately
–no explanation or investigation
–using transphobic language about me in the press
–tabloids publicly speculating about my sex life
but pls tell me how things have changed
also I'm sorry...the line about brutal firings. I waited maybe three to four months, daily, to see if the company was going to email me and tell me I had to move or lose my job. It was HELL. I was mentally not well!
there’s a Royal Family type obsession with that company’s leadership that makes frankly zero sense to me
As Alma notes, it was only months ago that four employees were illegally fired, Teen Vogue was shuttered, and employees, many who had done their work remotely for years, were forced to choose between moving to NYC with no assistance and no raise, to continue doing their work in office. I HATE CONDE!
and by the way, if you look at who Condé Nast is getting rid of in its constant downsizing (people of color, queer people, trans people), it’ll start to look a lot like “yesteryear” in that building
the real people trying to put the company’s old ways to bed are union organizers fighting to make it possible to do real journalism without fear of retaliation or censorship. where’s their interview? where’s their spotlight?
i’m not sure where the desire to deify Condé Nast comes from, especially in other journalists. Movies have been made about how exploitative the company is to work at!
today in NYT, an interview where the writers declared we are past the “brutal Condé Nast of yesteryear.” Of course, no acknowledgment of the illegal firings or targeted layoffs beyond an aside about Teen Vogue being “folded into” Vogue’s website
i had this with Un Verano Sin Ti and still feel silly for waiting
