  • https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/04/farmers-tariffs-trump-trade-war-00271146

    Prices for major crops like soybeans and corn have plummeted roughly 40 percent since 2022 — partly because Trump’s first trade war reshaped the global market for soybeans, with Brazil and Argentina emerging as major competitors to the U.S.

    Farmers have been Trump’s most loyal constituency and overwhelmingly backed him in the 2024 election. Now they could be one of the groups hardest hit by his trade war, potentially forcing a political reckoning in red states as small- and mid-sized farms struggle to stay afloat and big farms lose their export markets.

    Prices for the foods you buy aren’t based on just the costs of soybeans, wheat, and corn … in a globalized economy like ours it is complex and prices are increasing substantially for the foods we import. The U.S. imports more beef than they export, the cost of animal products are likely to increase.






  • This community is a great place to post this question!

    I’m a trans woman, so I don’t have any relevant experiences, but I did want to ask if have you read through the /r/ftm wiki?

    I find content both of these places that might help:

    https://old.reddit.com/r/ftm/wiki/index/binding

    Seems like kinesthetic tape could be an option?

    They don’t seem super common, but I did find at least one zipper binder:

    Maybe it’s too obvious to say, but I bet there are ways to hide the zipper, from the first wiki link above:

    Usually, the main concern when it comes to the top half of the body is hiding the breasts. This can be done by compressing them (binding), wearing clothing to distract from them, or a combination of both. Layering can disguise the curves of the chest. Try an open zippered hoody over a T-shirt (rather than just the T-shirt). … You also want your clothing to not cling to you, because that can highlight the curves. Cling can be reduced by laundering clothes with starch, wearing woven rather than knit fabrics, and wearing looser sizes. … Eye-catching patterns like stripes can distract the eye from the chest. Black is a good colour to hide the chest as well.

    A lot of those suggestions would apply to a front zipper, too.





  • honestly, right now I’m so grateful not be in significant or debilitating pain - I’m pretty much able bodied, I can cook and clean and do most of my daily activities pain-free.

    I’m a month away from a major surgery that will keep me bed-ridden for many weeks and in pain for even longer. I’ve just been through many major accidents and medical procedures, some of which kept me immobile, disabled, and in significant pain for extended periods of time (some for weeks to months).

    But right now, everything is sunshine and rainbows and I’m here for it 🌈🌞✨
