GENUINELY what it felt like to read that first image

i might've mentioned this before on here but i went to an absolutely beautiful estate sale months ago. it was clearly a home that had belonged to two lesbians who loved each other so much. they had a rich library of feminist texts and so much stunning art throughout the house. the estate sale had been outsourced to a christian organization who, as the estate was going on, were actively destroying, censoring, and throwing out pieces in the house that they perceived as sinful. they were also verbally denying that two women had lived in the home and telling various conflicting narratives in an attempt to erase the history of the house. i was lucky to arrive early and swipe up a bunch of queer books before the organizers realized what they were working with and started to destroy the history of the home. even if i hadn't seen some of their censorship directly, i could see gaps left in the home library of the two women myself - at least one of the women had been fluent in french (like me) and half of the library was in french. the french books (written in a language that i'm assuming none of the organizers could understand) contained much more obscene titles, content, and topics, as well as a variety of books explicitly about lesbians and women in love with each other. i also found some explicitly lesbian titles tucked away in corners of the house that would be out of sight, and am certain that there were countless more that had previously existed in plain sight and were taken off the shelves before the house was opened to the public.

Wizard Cookie is so huggable in your style.

Ozempic is a diabetes drug with a side effect of weight loss that is now rarely able to be prescribed for diabetes because of the value it possesses to the medical weight loss market, leading to the development of Mounjaro, a diabetes drug that has a less effective weight loss side effect, which is now under restricted prescription in the uk because it has become valuable to the medical weight loss market, driving the price up.

this might be more response than you want, but interesting (and kinda depressing when you think about it) fact: there’ve been a bunch of research studies where parents have been asked what they think makes a healthy parent-child relationship, and they tend to like…not answer the actual question because they think they’re being asked what good parenting is, which is not the same. so they talk about things like helping kids with homework and making sure they eat well. children, on the other hand, usually respond to the same question with stuff that’s literally just the definition of healthy relationships generally. affection, honesty, respect, spending time together, sharing interests. and the real kicker is, objectively, we know that’s the kind of stuff that actually has a much better impact not only on whether or not the relationship is strong and positive but also the kid’s overall happiness and psychological health.
