With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

"Oh, well. You'll join us someday."

My hot take is The Substance is a bad movie. It doesn't execute on its premise well enough and winds up being toothless. Great body horror though jesus christ

Companion is my favorite ever robot movie I think and not just because Sophie Thatcher is STELLARRRRR

Hypermobility Honey I can't open this jar I say. My hand keeps turning with the lid but it never loosens. My wrist bones crackle as they make a hard 90° turn, then another. My fingertips graze the inside of my elbow. The other wrist bends backwards like rubberhose instead of bracing the base.

I think the really important thing about the "trans sports debate" is that it's NOT REAL, the things that people are fearmongering about are NOT REAL and are NOT HAPPENING. Cis women are not competing at a disadvantage against trans women, cis men aren't transitioning to win at sports, IT'S NOT REAL
