This was such a clever design for a museum show. The pockets of the c18th were suspended from the waist so here, a recreation of the various layers, like an anatomical illustration. The yellow quilted pockets are original amongst the grey blue of the facsimile, #1740s #VandA #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

The only truly irreversible thing a trans child is likely to do is take their own life. "What if they do something irreversible?" actually means "theyre not allowed to make a decision!"
You cant undo or reverse any decision you make, you can simply change your mind later and handle the consequences

it seems like a pretty standard pumpkin pie operation except before you mix the evaporated milk into the pumpkin, you simmer it with sugar, cloves, cardamom, pepper, cinnamon, anise, and ginger. then add black tea & boil. strain into pumpkin. it sounds good but i haven’t made it yet!

The DOJ Subpoenaed Patient Info From a Gender-Affirming Care Clinic. It Fought Back.
A Washington judge quashed the Trump administration's attempt to subpoena patient information from the telehealth practice QueerDoc—but the fight may not be over.

cis men should be encouraged to try estrogen as much as they are to try testosterone
Encouraging everyone to try HRT if it feels good to them will help normalize it for trans people
one example is taking raloxifene + estrogen for soft skin and to stop hair loss, without getting breasts

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

oh my god
Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔

this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.
The entire administration is going to be staffed by Fox News hosts

This is incredible. This computer science professor makes his students play a game that simulates the risks and repercussions of getting Long COVID, and then he's like, hey anybody want a mask? And: "approximately 95 to 100% of students who’ve played the game now wear masks in his classroom."
Games can be sense-making tools, allowing players to vicariously experience the risks of contracting COVID-19, recognize #LongCOVID’s most challenging symptoms, and connect with others amid an ongoing public health crisis.

In October 23 i was in Kurdistan , bombs falling every night from drones & planes, and people were asking me about Gaza and the wellbeing of my colleagues there. It’s incredible how much alienation is like, at the core of the business model of almost all the media we consume and what it’s done here

we’ve created a media model that is incapable of understanding solidarity and like, basic humanity. I can’t tell you how many times migrants have expressed concern for Palestine or Sudan to me despite not being from there and going through hardship themselves. It’s really not that complicated
