there's two types of trans fashion: exposing as much of your torso as is societally acceptable, and wearing something so baggy people can assume your torso is literally any possible shape

"Weird flex but OK" I say to Popeye right before getting punched out to sea while literal battleship guns fire off in his biceps somehow.

It's actually kind of hilarious to think about Steve Jobs hating Bill Gates so much that he approved multiple ads, including one that played during the Super Bowl, featuring actors that looked like Bill.

I grew up being told that mambo and disco and new wave were corny music, but this was the same era that brought us fucking nu metal. I would 10000% rather listen to campy dance music than that shit

Perez Prado, the god that gifted us the riff from "Mambo No. 5" is genuinely good, tho, and you should listen to him. He does that little yell a lot.

on sex education timing, unnecessary cancer scares

In my fifth grade class, a few kids were worried they'd developed breast cancer. There were informative ads on TV at the time describing hard lumps in one breast which do not move freely. They'd scoured the library. The working theory was that the drainage field behind our school held toxic effluent.

This was, of course, normal early breast tissue development.

Selectively hiding information from children about their own bodies is cruel.
