I cane up with the caption and then decided to walk for a better view and then the rain started. This wasn’t as effective though.

Somebody please tell me that I need to go to my exercise class at the gym at 7 tonight even though I don't want to go ever and it's cold and rainy today. And why I need to go (I know, so I don't die sooner than later). I hate it so much.

Wait, what??? @mostlybree.kitrocha.com please explain
It is weird that no one in medicine tells cis women anything, even when they're putting us on drugs that impact hormones. I'd been on spiro for like 5 years before trans friends explained why I eat 8 pounds of pickles a week now 😭

NJ wasn't "supposed" to elect another Democrat after a Democrat. Or a woman. But we did and we'll do it again.
