curses! we've been bamboozled

Shoutout to the people whose parents support lgbt rights but never told their kids until they were in their teens or twenties because they said it was “difficult to explain to children”.

Shoutout to the people whose religious communities came out in support just a little too late.

Shoutout to everyone afraid to come out just because they know they’ll be safe physically but they don’t know how everything will change socially.

Shoutout to everyone whose internalized homophobia that they’re trying to overcome came from subtle cues and not explicit statements.

goodrx is the most well known one, but if i'm trying to find the cheapest price for a patient i compare it to scriptcycle, and use whichever is offering the best price. you just type in the medication (PLEASE make sure you're getting the right drug, dosage, and quantity) and your zip code and they will spit out some offers for you

some pharmacies may have their own discount card to compare to as well!

if you are getting a name brand medication, you can also look at the manufacturer's website to see if they offer any evouchers for you to use too

“What transness and especially a pre-transition dysphoria actually feels like, to me at least, is much more internal and intangible. The language that I use to try to talk about it is language that I'm borrowing from the surrealism of David Lynch — the dreamlike nature of his films — or the body horror of David Cronenberg.” — JANE SCHOENBRUN, I Saw the TV Glow writer/director (x)

A sanitary sewer is where stuff you pour down the sink or flush down the toilet goes. It has predictable, constant flow, a closed structure, and is typically not human-accessible without excavation unless it’s combined with or routed through a storm sewer (see below).

A storm sewer is where stuff that goes down the drains and gutters in the streets ends up. It has irregular flow (to the point that it may be completely dry for portions of the year, depending on the climate), a non-closed structure that may incorporate open watercourses (e.g., creeks and streams) as portions of its network, and – owing to the need to provide adequate surge capacity during periods of high precipitation – may have main tunnels that are large enough to walk upright in.

In most cities with well-developed infrastructure, these two sewer networks are entirely separate. The pipes that comprise the sanitary sewer may be routed through portions of the tunnels that comprise the storm sewer for ease of access, and breakages or overflow in the sanitary sewer network may result in waste being periodically dumped into the storm sewer, but in general, the kind of sewer you can walk in will have you wading through rainwater, not waste.
