Definitely not!

Mamka má teď v práci pacientku v docela vážném stavu, která provozuje soukromý útulek ve Frýdlantě nad Ostravicí pro kočky nevhodné k adopci z důvodu věku, zdravotního stavu nebo přílišné plachosti. Paní Snášelová všechno financuje z vlastního důchodu a z příspěvků veřejnosti, chtěla bych vás tedy poprosit o sdílení, případně o přispění aspoň nějakou tou kačkou. Extra finance jsou teď potřeba hlavně na zaplacení pomocnic, které se o kočičky starají zatímco je paní Snášelová v nemocnici. Díky moc

ENG:

Mom asked me to spread word about one of her patients who runs a small shelter for cats unsuitable for adoption due to age, health or behavioral issues. The lady finances the whole thing from her pension and from donations, so I'd like to ask you to share and, if possible, donate literally any small amount. The extra money will be needed right now especially to pay the people caring for the cats while the owner is hospitalized. Thanks!

So, if any trans men are being told about this, it’s not true!! Smoking will not change your voice, at least not until you’re about forty years down the line and you’ve already irreparably destroyed your lungs and throat and mouth and pretty much every other organ in your body. When you hear heavy smokers with deeper, scratchier voices it is literally because their vocal cords have been ruined. This is not a passive effect of smoking, it is a very very damaging one!

It’s simply not worth it! There will be no meaningful changes except terrible ones. Voice training will do a lot more for you than cigarettes will, I promise that the people urging you to start smoking as a voice training method do not have your best interests at heart!

(And you know what, this also goes for not eating due to the idea that starving yourself will decrease your chest size. Like with smoking, there will be no meaningful changes except terrible ones. Your body is worth so much more than that and there will always be healthier alternatives!)

(Btw, afaik smoking only has this effect on estrogen from HRT. Estrogen that AFAB bodies produce naturally is not affected, so smoking is still bad for trans men)

I think also in that conversation, I had a couple people tell me that the book The Easy Way to Quit Smoking is, despite the gimmicky title, genuinely helpful.

If quitting for yourself seems too abstract and it’s hard to care, think about everyone around you. Someone with asthma or migraines will breathe easier if they’re not risking an attack from standing near you.

Lastly, some queer history: a 90’s tobacco marketing campaign that targeted gay men was literally called Project SCUM. That’s what they think of us. Don’t give them your money.

If you needed some good news today, four more Przewalski’s horses were transported from european zoos to Kazakhstan and released into an acclimatization enclosures in the steppe, so that they can eventually be released back into the wild from which their ancestors came from.

This is a long-term rewilding effort coordinated by Prague Zoo, with partners across Europe, Kazakhstan and Mongolia.

Have you guys seen that clip

But brushing your teeth for 30 seconds is better than not brushing them at all when that 2 minutes seems exhausting.  Doing ten minutes of yoga is better than 10 minutes of sitting when 30 minutes of cardio sounds impossible.  Changing my clothes is good when a whole shower is impossible.  Standing on the porch for a few minutes is worth it after being in the house for three straight days because I don’t have the energy to go anywhere.

sweet as a 1/4th cup of sugar Some extras below the cut!
