If you haven’t heard, @trufelman.bsky.social and I started a new podcast about fashion and philosophy. Each month, we read canonical text — Voltaire, Rousseau, Hegel — and talk about how the author's ideas help us understand why we dress the way we do.

If anyone has questions or concerns about Mounjaro, I would be more than happy to answer them or assist you in finding information on it. But first & foremost you must discuss this with your GP if you’re considering using it as you will need to run a series of blood tests & health checks beforehand.
