Please boost as a reminder to the many, many creators who design pins and flags for literally every other identity, for people who forget or don't know that we are failed by the medical system the instant we're born, and for the rest of our lives, again and again.
We go into the hospital and say we're cis or trans, because otherwise we WILL be refused treatment out of hand.
Intersex People Exist, and we have a place in pride.

Dear everyone outside the US,

I promise that there are still good people in America who:

1. Hate our government as it currently stands.

2. Are taking this pandemic as 100% serious and wearing masks

3. And hate people like this: dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8

Please don't judge our entire country off of the orange asshole in the White House or Karen's who think wearing a mask is equal to taking away rights.

Signed,
A concerned US citizen

Surprising no one who removes their money-making glasses:

"These population studies suggest that, despite the widespread use of statins, there has been no accompanying decline in the risk of cardiovascular events or cardiovascular mortality. In fact, there is some evidence that statin usage may lead to unhealthy behaviours that may actually increase the risk of cardiovascular disease."
