I came across this critique by father_karine on modern beauty standards. It touches on the use of fillers, botox, ozempic and experimental procedures. It's a fun but also sad read, and a topic we should discuss more often.

The cover of bell hooks’ The Will to Change. It has an orange background with the title in pink and her name in white.
I’m not even done with this book and am already thinking about how much better society would be if everyone—yes, everyone—read this book. I wish someone had given this to me when I was a boy.

New post just dropped on Substack:
🐐 The GOAT Samaritan
Neil deGrasse Tyson walks by.
Brady nods, but keeps going.
Madonna smiles, faintly.
And only the real goat stops—and offers him milk.
This is a modern parable. A myth for our moment. A mirror.
(And yeah, it bleats back.)
