My PMDD Ruled My Life. Then I Got on Zepbound.
Since I started weight-loss drugs, my monthly cycle is no longer hellish. Doctors have no idea why.

Hey do you want to read about GLP-1 drugs affecting a user (me) so much that they might not have PMDD anymore? I wrote about it: www.thecut.com/article/pmdd...

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

Ok it’s very funny that Zohran’s “it’s m-a-m-d-a-n-I” riff in the debate, which was great but he clearly backed down from “learn how to say it cuz I’m your next mayor” … he could’ve said it! He is!

The doubling down on this bullshit just seemed to me like this loser wanted us to think orange all week … it sucks
his truest goal and greatest talent is to draw attention to himself; the policy that best does that is one that is consistently uncertain

I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

Like, this actually gives me hives in a personal high school wounds never die kind of way
I think this might be the only place where I can say that as an A student rules follower who would never vote for the worst, I really resent being painted with a broad damming brush (especially in this Canada/US thing) when it’s the dumbest motherfuckers alive who got these fascists their job

And I know online we’re all too evolved to say “not all blah blah blahs” but like come on the election was decided by people that googled is Biden running and people staying home the side that didn’t want fascists, the coasts, were doing their best

Ok he’s being funny but Obama as ex-president influencer who will peep out just to fight battles that help the dems further lose has been … pretty awful tbh but I’m just retroactively a Bernie bro so what do I know. I do actually think our ex presidents need to be loud & annoying & anti fascist
Doesn't matter who you are, this type of follower gap is unacceptable. We don't support clout-chasing influencers, whatever their resume looks like. Do better.
