Hey I remembered that y'all had asked about DIY HRT and Lily Alexandre posted a video just yesterday with a pseudo guide to how to do it safely.

Please if you check out this video, download it and rip it as well. Who knows how long we'll have access to it.
holy shit this is awesome, thank you so much!!!!!!
this is the ONLY way certain people can access HRT and i want to make sure those individuals stay as safe as possible. while it's best to try to get it through a medical provider when and where you can, not everyone has this option. thank you so much.
as suggested, download this video. i have downloaded a copy. if the video does go down, i will be happy to find ways to get it to people who need it. preserve this information. nobody deserves to go without lifesaving hormones.
i reposted this take earlier but i've been sitting on that teaser trailer for the minecraft movie for a bit and (unlike Sonic) i don't actually think the art direction or isekai element is the problem
(I did post this on TikTok but i wanted to also post it here)
Am the only one who noticed that the first time scout talks to us (which is in his meet the team video) he threatening us and say that we won’t survive in his situation
But then the last time (I believe the last time) he talks to us (which is the 7th comic) he thanks us and tells us he happy we stuck with them
I love his character development they took this arrogant and annoying young Boston boy and turned him into a happy goofy single dad with 4 kids, i love it!!!!
sorry since realizing my gender i have zero tolerance for the whole “man hating” angle of being queer i hate i hate it i hate you. stop. you are hurting people.
what’s the point anymore?
you're allowed to give up any time you like, but if you do you have to acknowledge to yourself that everyone else has continued to keep going, and wonder to yourself why.
either everyone else is wrong about the state of things and their continued efforts are fools errands, OR it's just you who might need to spend some time readjusting your world view. ask yourself, are things actually over for you, or is the world as you know it just changing in a way that makes it feel like it's over because what qualifies as "the norm" has been forced to reshape itself? it can certainly be exhausting to try and keep up, so i wouldnt blame you for not knowing the difference right away.
perhaps the reason you feel like the apocalypse is happening only now is because it's been brought to your door for the first time in your life. you're not wrong to be scared, nor are you wrong to be tired. but you are wrong in thinking there's no point in trying, like in the grand scheme of history it's never been more over than it is in this moment. that's a very self-centered perspective to have.
there's no "correct" way to live life, which might be your main thing to learn. we've been led to believe that there is, because in mankind's addiction to efficiency we've created a self-perpetuating myth of "a life well lived"; something that is impossible to quantify, and impossible to replicate flawlessly. it mostly looked like going through school, getting a trade skill, going into the work force, making or perpetuating your family, and retiring on your own property. and now, because the channels that were once available to most people to access those things have become a luxury that disappearingly few are able to actually utilize, it feels like there's no way to live life "correctly" anymore at all. it feels like everything we try to do takes the form of a hollow echo of the idea we were led to believe was our future.
but i can assure you of this:
as long as you have food in your belly
as long as you have something that makes you laugh when you can
as long as you have something that helps you cry when you need to
as long as you feel okay asking for help with those things
there is something to wake up for, and something to keep trying for. it doesnt matter if it feels fake to you. it only matters if it works for you, because that's the only person you really need to live for.
i phrase this all in a very matter-of-fact way, because i do not know you and i cannot know your situation, nor can i feign like i have a great emotional need to help you. all the same, i hope that you won't take it as a cold or apathetic answer. it's important that you know i typed it all out because i hope that it will encourage you to stay with us.
There is not a single game on planet earth worth 70 dollars
ooooh, so we're not even a LITTLE bit gonna pretend it wasn't all a political stunt
