oh btw since i never see ppl talking about where to actually *buy* DIY testosterone, diyhrt.wiki has a section on places to get it from in Australia, the UK, EU, Canada, USA and internationally.

you can find that here!

(also please don't get weird about the fact it's rare to see. the relative ease of access to diy E and prevalence of guides on it is not causing erasure of resources for T, don't be weird)

how terrifying metamorphosis must be for the caterpillar has no concept of what it is doing, or what a butterfly is, or what will happen to it as it spins itself the cocoon. we r more alike than different

The fact that homelessness is controversial tells you everything you need to know about conservatives.

Seeing tumblr users tag their blorboposts with "gay panic" is making me insane. This term does not mean what you all think it means.

The thing is that getting Palestine free is both very difficult but not as difficult as getting South Africa free. South Africa had more resources than Israel does, it could hold out so much longer and still the apartheid was ended by people working tirelessly and boycotting and pushing for divestment and sanctions. These methods will work for freeing Palestine too.

I know it doesn't feel like there have been many successes, but all the politicians are feeling the pressure. Pressure that we are able to sustain and even increase as we come up with new initiatives and convince new people to join.

One of the reasons they're resisting our pressure so strongly is because they know that when we see gains we will push harder, we will continue to push until the stones falling becomes a rock fall and Palestine's freedom is secured. They know if we get a taste of the power we can wield we'll turn that onto freeing Congo too. They know we're unhappy and have been for a long time and their very secure system starts to look a lot less secure when we start mobilising to change things.

That post about 30 year old coming of age stories?

I’ve been thinking about it all morning. What would the plot points be for that? What makes a 30 year old coming of age story?

Old folks sound off in the comments

"Ralph Nader says that the U.S. operates as a 'democracy of minimums' (minimal pay, minimal education, minimal healthcare, etc.). In that light, Biden’s messaging [that 'the pandemic is over'] reflects not just a flippant dismissal of the medical reality of COVID but belies a far darker truth as explained by epidemiologist Justin Feldman: 'Things become much clearer when you realize the debate [ab]out whether we’re in a pandemic is actually a debate about whether the ruling class should do anything to address the pandemic.' Feldman also gave an excellent talk in which he argued that the country’s pandemic response has been used to 'assimilate' COVID into a narrative of personal responsibility and choice which characterizes the way we treat other chronic social problems such as racism, environmental pollution, or poverty."

‘I would posit that masculinity is solely enforced on men and introduced to them through implicit or explicit violence. I cannot think of a time where my masculine tendencies and behaviors were not influenced by the fear of violence that may come if I fail to perform.

‘One of my earliest memories as a child is crying because my older sister painted my nails, and I was afraid that my parents would be angry at me for doing something that was for “girls”.

‘The performance of masculinity was at best based on entirely arbitrary, almost ridiculous metrics such as what side your shirt buttons up on, which way you wear your belt, how you check your nails, to more violent and restrictive regulations. Who you can love, how you can dress, the way you speak, how physically strong or imposing you are.

‘Gender is a performance, and the audience pointing a gun at the stage is the only reason we're all still dancing. The constricting nature of masculinity, of cisgender heterosexuality, drives all of us insane. Drives all of us to self denial that presents itself in other ways or bursts through cracks like blood through gauze.’

— Anansi’s Library, James Baldwin and the Annihilation of Gender, from 25:13
