If you like the MCU and you don't hate women, you're probably gonna like it.

This isn't a superhero show. It isn't really a lawyer show, at this point. I think it's gonna have elements of both. It's funny and fun, and also has an emotional core. It's definitely one for MCU fans, with many references.

NOT ONLY IS THE BMI FAKE ITS RACIST. THE BEAUTY AND DIET INDUSTRIES CONSPIRE TO SAP WOMEN OF THE COLLECTIVE ENERGY NECESSARY TO DESTROY THE PATRIARCHY. ALL THE ACTORS YOU SEE ON THE COVER OF MENS HEALTH TAKE HGH. DO YOU LISTEN TO PODCASTS? THERES ONE CALLED MAINTENANCE PHASE--

And now I do know. It went to 54 percent in about two hours of non-intensive use. Darn. I had my heart set on a Pixel 7, but it's time to plot a new course.

.@ShopifySupport continues to host Libs of Tiktok's merch store where they used the term "GROOMER" as a discount code. They also engaged in targeted harassment of Taylor Lorenz by featuring a photo of her crying to sell merch.

Researchers completed the first large longitudinal study on trans children this year. They found only 97.5% of trans kids continued to identify as trans. Those that desisted did so for various reasons including the violence faced as trans people. https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/150/2/e2021056082/186992/Gender-Identity-5-Years-After-Social-Transition
