I am at a loss to explain otherwise normal Americans who talk about Trump like “no we’ve cast of the yoke of the democrats, he can finally clean up politics and put everything right!” They talk about him like he’s a saviour or a knight and I’m like “have you ever heard him speak?? Do you somehow not know he’s a convicted felon?? He’s going to hurt A LOT of people! AGAIN! He’s not a hero, he’s a weird lazy grifter and couldn’t make it more obvious if a million bucks were riding on it!

Musk is a maw. A black hole, where the missing void is daddy’s love and it’s never coming. He will eat the universe to try and fill it, but he’ll never will succeed. Don’t have anything to do with him or his works.

I still find it shocking that while the UK handwrings about puberty blockers (used for over 30 years), Ozempic and others are touted as panaceas. No long-term research, never mind they just make you slightly nauseous all the time, who cares they're expensive and so what they completely undermine what little body positivity we have going on. None of that shit matters because THEY MAKE YOU THIN AND OMFG FAT IS BAD. Being fat is not the worst thing that can happen to you.

Every day a new study pops up saying weight-loss drugs cut your risks of cancer, or risk of heart disease or or fucking or. These studies are breathlessly reported, no questions about whether they are *repeatable* or *long term* or even WHO IS SPONSORING THEM. Nope, just see here fatties take your injections and jus be NORMAL like the rest of us you ugly, horrible, lazy people!

We were close to accepting people at different sizes and seeing the innate beauty in everyone.

But no, thank FUCK Capitalism came along and shot that in the head. Now pay £250 a month for an injection. I tried it, it was ruinously expensive, destroyed my appetite and made me sick all the time. It was impossible to derive any pleasure from any food or food-adjacent gathering (like dinner or a meal out). Sticking needles of medicine nicked from diabetics isn't the answer, accepting your body, your age and your mortality and choosing what's best for you is the answer.

If running, exercise and ketogenic woo-woo makes you happy, then do that. If eating well and enjoying your food makes you happy, then do that. Accept everyone as they are on their journey through life. Fuck off with BE THIN, OBEY, CONSUME bullshit. Thin people are great, fat people are great, tall people are great and short people are great. We're great the way we are and don't need drugs to "shed a few pounds". Rant concludes.

🎶 Well, sir, there's nothing on earth
Like a self-driving, ossified,
Electrified, child-seeking DeathWedge!"

Each purchase helps fill that loveless, lonely void in Musk's heart!

#TheOnion absolutely knocking their coverage of #IsraelPalestineconflict out of the park, as usual, and skewering the broadsheets in the process: https://www.theonion.com/the-onion-stands-with-israel-because-it-seems-like-yo-1850922505

A satirical comedy site provides better balance than most newspapers. That's the universe we're in. We'll be wearing our shoes on our heads before long.

@AnCuRuadh @admin @anarchopunk_girl@kolektiva.social 100% agree but that's not an argument against the concept of a national health service. The fact ours has institutional transphobia is because that needs fixing, just like its chronic underfunding (see waiting lists) and that every cabinet minister likes dicking with the rules (because the NHS is so complicated its infinitely configurable for a jerk trying to put their stamp on it).

Want to know why the #NHS rules and why Brits love it and will defend it to the death?

I take:

Sertraline ($76 USD per month)
Atarvostatin ($148 /m)
Propranolol ($42 /m)
Estragel ($158 /m)
Decapeptyl (~$100 /m)

$524 every month.

I pay £110 per year / ~$12 per month.

Also I was out of sertraline so the pharmacist said "come in, I'll give you some".

And while I was at the pharmacy, I got a free flu shot (cos I'm a fat squidge).

No wallet biopsy. No insurance.

TREASURE THE NHS.

#FreeSpeech is not about whether you can use the n-word on Twitter: it’s about your right to criticise your rulers without retribution. The #metpolice are arresting people because they “might spoil some people’s enjoyment” if they protest later. This is #authoritarianism to protect an unelected billionaire.

Once more for emphasis: it is legal in the #UK now to arrest people if the cops think you might spoil the mood by disliking the king.

This is #fascism
