Friendly PSA, folks: Don't get your hormones from your local retail pharmacy.
Between Cost Plus Drugs, ExpressScripts, and even Amazon Pharmacy, there are a bajillion mail order pharmacy options. They deliver to your front door, and are usually a quarter the price of CVS or Walgreens or wherever.
Disclaimer: if you do injections, the cost difference is much smaller.

22 July 1939 | A French Jewish boy, Jean Bercu, was born in Paris.
In February 1944 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

Mastodon is my favourite social network, people here *share* - they recognise the value of word of mouth to a free and open internet. Plus: no algorithms. That is what I want. Cool people I chose to follow posting awesome stuff and sharing recommendations. YES.

Marines werden aus Los Angeles abgezogen
Ihr Einsatz bei Protesten gegen Razzien der Einwanderungsbehörden war höchst umstritten. Nun werden die von der Trump-Regierung entsandten Marineinfanteristen abgezogen. Nationalgardisten sollen aber in der Stadt bleiben.

umstritten? 🤦
Nein liebe Medienleute, der Einsatz war nie "umstritten", es sei denn, ihr macht euch die Sichtweise der Demokratiefeinde zu eigen oder haltet Faschismus und ein unterdrückerisches Regime, welches Militär gegen die eigenen Leute einsetzt, für etwas positives.

How to make solar cheaper in the US -- following Australia's lead
a good analysis by Saul Griffith
energyandstuff.substack.com/p/…
tl;dr -- it's less about the cost of the panels or any individual unit of labor, but more in reducing red tape
Make Electricity Cheap Again - part 1.
We succeeded in making "Electrify Everything" an idea. We failed to make electricity cheap. Lets make electricity cheap again.Saul Griffith (Energy & Stuff)
Utah actually made a really good move in this direction. Small "balcony solar" no permit needed. Germany has had this for a while. A plug and play system - Literally can plug into an existing outlet. Add a battery with another couple panels to make it even better. Now, It's not gonna eliminate your electric bill but if a lot of houses (or apartments with balconies) did this, well it's a lot of electricity!

After 40 years of hits, inspirational moments, and creating a name in #HipHop so legendary, no other female duo/trio has been able to duplicate… Salt ‘n Pepa find they are set to lose all rights to their early #MasterRecordings.
Also, because they chose to fight UMG on the status of their #music (and are probably set to lose), UMG is responding by REMOVING THEIR FIRST ALBUM OFF ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS.

Salt-N-Pepa Music Catalog Lawsuit: UMG Says Duo Can't Own Recordings
Salt-N-Pepa's music catalog lawsuit got a response from UMG, which said the duo doesn't qualify for termination rights over their master recordings.Rachel Scharf (Billboard)
Also, if you were ever a fan of Salt ‘N Pepa’s #music… you’d better go out and buy a physical copy of their albums NOW, because if it doesn’t go right, you will not be able to play their music via streaming at ALL. They are already moving to take their music out of all commercial use licenses… movie and tv placements, TV and radio commercials… everywhere you’ve ever heard a SHOOP or PUSH IT… won’t be there anymore.
Physical copies are STILL IMPORTANT.
Wait. Even better.
#SaltNPepa have set up a #BandCamp where they have set up the re-recorded versions of all their hits, and you can buy the MP3s or a beautiful splattered limited edition vinyl of their earlier songs.
If you are a fan, and can send them the support, I need you to go and buy their formats of music before Bandcamp takes it down.

I read an interesting thing on Wikipedia, about how some argue that the nostalgia cycle never existed, and that belief is based on cherry-picked evidence, citing this article from Slate: slate.com/culture/2012/04/the-…

#EroticMusings 8: Do you consume much erotica? Is it similar to your work? Share your favourite works or creators!
As mentioned on last week's prompt, I respond to erotica mainly on an aesthetic level (I think it's pretty) and only ever look at comics and drawings, or read fiction.
Most of my favs are in German, but I have some favourite artists who create in English/internationally, too.
@oglaf are silly comic strips set within some erotic world building. Small warning: They're rather cis. 1/3
The educational OJST helped me ground my fictional toys and practice in reality. Even if that thingy is magical, the characters still need to clean it after use.
And "Sunstone" showed me that people actually love the mix of erotica and slice of life, encouraging me further to tell the stories I want to tell.
So not exactly similar, but influential.

TIL: Es gibt in Berlin NIMBYs, die gegen eine U-Bahn protestieren.
Also bei mir ist ja das Gegenteil, alle in dem Viertel sind glücklich über die Verlängerung der M10.
Die ganzen Eingemeindungen rund um Berlin waren ein Fehler, der zu korrigieren ist.

#EroticMusings Woche 3: (15-21. Juli) Arbeitsbedingungen.
Ist das Erschaffen deiner erotischen Kunstwerke Teil deines Alltags und deiner regulären Arbeitszeiten, oder davon getrennt?
Ganz regulär. Wenn ich genug Löffel habe, dann entweder ab 17:00 oder an Tagen, an denen ich nicht arbeiten muss, direkt nach dem Aufstehen.
Etwas ungünstig war der Zeitpunkt des Release-Countdowns für Band 1: In genau dieser Zeit kam meine Familie auf Besuch und die stellen sich gern direkt hinter mich. 1/2
Mit anderen Worten: Sie gucken mir auf meine großen Arbeitsbildschirme und ich musste sehr flink sein, um zu verstecken, was ich da mache.
Vielleicht erinnern sich einige von euch daran, die mir schon 2020 beim blauen Vogel gefolgt sind - das war ein ziemlich turbulenter Sommer für mich.
Aber ansonsten mache ich da wirklich keinen Unterschied.

When we read the headline of this story, we thought it meant the robot could “run” — like sprinting or jogging. However, a robot that can change its own battery is, as @LiveScience says, “unsettling” and worth posting. Read about the 5-foot-3, 95-pound Walker S2 and watch video of its uniquely flexible shoulders in action:
