As someone raised by a single mother, who, once I got my license, often got sent on errands to go buy pads, and who has continued to do so, having been married for over 20 years to a real live woman who's a whole fucking person with bodily functions and everything, I really appreciate the type of masculinity that doesn't wilt in the face of totally normal and necessary sanitary products.
If there's one thing these fascists have made abundantly clear is that they value women primarily for their reproductive systems. And then they are gonna get squeamish about the normal functioning of that reproductive system?
And these are the same people who think you should have no problem seeing some white dude cosplaying in tactical gear carrying around an AR-15 in public.
Fuck these Nazi clowns and their fragile china-doll egos. I don't claim to know what it means to "be a man" but I sure as hell know it doesn't involve making women feel shitty about their bodies and forcing everyone around you to wonder if you're gonna murder them at any given moment.
How about just trying to be a decent human being?

Dr Ashley TanExpertise, anyone?
Video source What does it take to become an expert in your field? Veritasium offered four aspects after suggesting that experts were able to quickly recognise patterns. Making repeated and deliberate attempts Operating in a valid environment (one that tests actual expertise) Getting timely feedback (immediate better than delayed) Not being comfortable with competence (i.e., pushing yourself)

I keep hearing stories from a friend who hit 65 and reached out to friends and family for advice prior to making her choice. The only Advantage plan members who liked their plans were extremely healthy and didn't use them. The ones who did quickly found it to be a bureaucratic nightmare and far more costly than presented at sign-up.

My very dear friend, a teacher for many decades got this from a third grade student today:

KestralThe NHS is utterly failing my nephew, who is very unwell with Neuroblastoma. I’m looking to chat to anyone, from anywhere in the world, who has knowledge and experience in fighting this rare cancer.
I rarely ask for promotion but I’m rather at a loss, so please, consider giving this a boost if you feel able.

She left us with these gems:
“All he wants to do is appeal to his base. He has no principles.
“None.”
“His goddamned tweeting and lying...The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy shit.”
"It's the phoniness of it all. It's the phoniness and this cruelty. Donald is cruel”
"You can't trust him."
