You can be a massive overcompensating jerk because others make you feel insecure about your manhood, or you can be a solid dude- fun, friendly, kind, maybe a little self-deprecating or sensitive about it but not in a way that lets it rule your life.

The reason to be kinder about people's bodies is because most of us aren't overcompensating douchebags, but as for the overcompensating douchbags themselves: Fuck em.

Great piece from the #NYTimes showing the diverse and challenging experiences of breastfeeding parents. I loved nursing my child and didn’t have any major complications. Even so, these women’s stories reminded me of the constant background anxiety that comes with being your child’s only source of food. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/11/30/well/family/breastfeeding-nursing-formula.html #breastfeeding #fedisbest #sociology

“The public only takes note of gay bars when something bad happens. It makes being a gay bar expert utterly depressing. I feel an obligation to share my knowledge, but I also feel like a trauma vulture. Journalists don’t contact me when new bars open, when they set new fundraising records, or when their events send queer joy spilling into the streets.” https://contexts.org/blog/another-mass-killing-in-a-gay-bar/
