progesterone will increase your libido but if you're cis, it won't. it will balance your emotions except it gives most people depression. it will give you anti-adhd clarity or maybe never-ending fatigue. it's so cool how we're living in the mad scientist 19th century of HRT

a couple – she's in her early 50s, stunning in a mysteriously patterned dressed, he's in his 60s, unbearably virile – just sat down at the library next to me. he stares at her, smiling: "i love this silence"

i feel shy here the way i feel shy in "somatic technique" or "harm reduction" workshops in a rural setting; where is all the evil that makes me want to post

rip theodor w. adorno you would have loved how soundcloud teenagers eliminated the drop from gabber in 2014, a imageless materialism of a world where the other shoe never … drops

icymi it's the summer of doing this with your hands 🤘 it's a summer of protecting yourself and loved ones from the evil eye, a summer of metal, of sweet, sweet infidelity
