This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

Tesla down 15%. Now is the time to double down on protests. The far right showed what they can do with Bud Light. Let those who support LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, government workers, and diversity show what we can do with Tesla. Those driving Teslas should be seen as collaborators.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

*cracking my knuckles* how many times do I gotta say this. WE HATE TOXIC MASCULINITY NOT MEN IN GENERAL. MEN SUFFER FROM THE EFFECTS OF PATRIARCHY AS WELL. WE WANT TO HELP THEM WHILE HAVING THEM USE THEIR PRIVLEDGE TO CHANGE THE SITUATION AROUND THEM

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

P.S. This thread was a lot shorter originally and it got a lot longer, sorry about that!

Anyway, I’m just trying to offer advice as someone who’s had experience doing DIY and going through the proper channels. You’re free to do whatever you want and I wish you nothing but the best of luck in this journey, sister :). (7/7)

Either way, if you want to do DIY, balance your hormones, and not break the bank, you should 100% look in to doing injections. I also understand not liking needles, I hate needles as well, but the needles used for this are so tiny you barely feel it. (6/7)

Vas @vasvidya.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

You can also line up the day you do your injection with the day the trash is taken out if you don’t want to run the risk of someone rummaging through your trash and finding it. (5/7)

Now I don’t know your situation, but I also did DIY without others in my house knowing. All I did was just have a trash can in my room, put the plastic caps on my syringes once I was done with them, put them in an old soda bottle, tie it up in my trash bag, and toss it out. (4/7)

The most a vial of estrogen cost for me when I was doing DIY was about 80 bucks and that included shipping, and lasted me about 6 months. So in total for 6 months of Estrogen it was around 100 bucks including the cost of syringes. (3/7)

2) You can get 6 month’s worth of needles for 20 bucks. The only other equipment you’d need is like a bottle of rubbing alcohol and you can get one of those for like 5 bucks. (2/7)

1) Either way injections are more effective, my experience with injections have been stellar, every trans woman who I’ve talked to who’s on injections also says the same thing, the doctor I’ve been seeing recently also heavily recommends injections for faster onset effects. (1/5)

Honestly if you really want results, you’re gonna need to do injections. Pills are way less effective because they have to pass through the liver which ends up eating away a lot of the estrogen itself, with injections you don’t have to worry about that. Injections are typically cheaper too.

She is so severely underpowered in this show. I’m holding out hope they course correct as the show goes on, but right now their depiction of Circe is leaving a lot to be desired.

After finally watching the second episode, I have to say... Circe is kind of done dirty in the show? Not as bad as Cheetah in JLU, and there are elements of the fun sassy Circe we know and love, but why she wasn't transforming the Sons of Themyscira into Bestiamorphs is anybody's guess.

Now that the first two episodes of Creature Commandos is out, how are we feeling about Circe in it? I've only seen the first episode so far, so I haven't seen much of Circe myself. But I'm not sure this show is the best way to reintroduce Circe to mainstream audiences. It's def not my cup of tea.

I also think Teen Titans, The Justice League, or Green Arrow would all be fun!

This may be personal bias, but I’d love a Wonder Woman Holiday special. Have it be about her learning of all the different holidays and traditions around them while she’s still learning about all of the cultural customs in the world of man, what the holidays mean to them.

bluesky is still struggling to be a place where i can hear about breaking news and, maybe more importantly, breaking memes. it has its own memes for sure, but it is, for better or worse, detached from a broader internet culture, and i'm hoping that will change
