It's wild how just the cut of a shirt can have such a huge impact on how you feel about yourself.

I was trying on shirts this evening and was feeling frustrated and increasingly uncomfortable. They were all button down flannels from the women's section in different fabric weights. Some were definite nos and others were cute. Some pulled very badly through my shoulders and across my chest and others were cozy and soft. I ended up with a couple I thought were cute and comfortable by the time I got to the last shirt.

This shirt was the same as all the others -- button down, plaid, flannel, similar color palette -- except I had grabbed it from the men's section. I wasn't expecting it to fit since there was only a small left in the color I liked. But I threw it on, buttoned it up, all without looking in the mirror because I was feeling quite dysphoric by that point.

When I did look up I completely froze. I just stood there and stared. It fit across my chest and shoulders nicely. It tapered at the waist just enough to not seem boxy. It pulled just a bit at my hips but nothing undoing the last button couldn't fix. Somehow wearing it made the pants I was also trying on look better, too. I got teary eyed and had to actually bend over with my hands on my knees and take a few deep breaths. Then I stood back up and kept staring.

Idk if it was gender euphoria or something else but... Damn. I ended up getting it -- there was no way I wasn't going to after that.

As a German, do you feel like most of the public supports Palestine or Israel? Because from what I see many of the politicians support the Zionist cause so I wonder if the common people share the same sentiments

you're basically asking me which team i think the majority are rooting for but last time i checked this wasn't a sports match. i honestly wouldn't even know where to begin to explain my views on this war to you. however, in case it was a good faith question:

recent polls show that a majority of germans disapprove of the idf's course of action in light of the many civilian deaths. as a german, my impression is that the VAST majority of people are nothing short of horrified by the suffering of palestinians in gaza and only interested in a non-violent resolution that will bring lasting peace. same as the rest of the world. most germans either disapprove of or openly criticize ANY involvement in armed conflict (ukraine being a notable exception), and the vast majority of people (in fact, the majority of the entire world) condemn israeli settlement policy (that includes german politicians across the spectrum) – in fact, just a year ago, a few months before the attack on october 7, the foreign office warned the israeli government of an escalation of the conflict over new settlement laws for the west bank.

that being said, anything bds-adjacent, anything promoting isolation and escalation over dialogue and mutual understanding, any stance that implies or calls outright for the dissolution of the state of israel will be impossibly hard to sell, not just in germany but in the entire west (however you may define that term) and not only because of the historical ties between many israeli jews and the west, but because israel is too valuable an ally in the region. the relationship between israel and germany specifically is of course a very complex one, and it would be naive to assume that german foreign policy re: israel isn't colored by our shared history, but netanyahu's government has long passed the point of what most people here might defend as the limits of a justified reaction to october 7. they also know that hamas aren't resistance fighters. we're beginning to see that public support for israel's security is not unconditional, is my point. the polls i linked above show that the majority of people (87%) want to put more pressure on the israeli government to guarantee access to humanitarian aid for civilians in gaza, and this was in march

Sentence word prompt: Health

"I don't know what they're talking about. We're the pinnacle of health," Sky said sarcastically, lightly elbowing Legend in the side.

Legend scoffed. "I can think of four different parts of my body that don't work right off the top of my head. Four for you, too. That's not to mention the places that hurt all the time for no reason."

"Eh," Sky said, waving a hand. He dislodged the blanket wrapped around their shoulders. Legend reached a hand out, winced at the cold air, then tugged it tightly to his chest.

"At least no one ever denies me warm blankets and cuddles," Sky said softly. His words were breathy and ragged by the end of the sentence. He coughed roughly, then groaned and let his head fall onto Legend's shoulder. Legend adjusted the blanket more securely around Sky's shoulders.

"That's your secret, is it? All of this just for free hugs?" Legend asked.

"You got me," Sky said. Legend shook his head, biting back a smile.
