  • I recently had a friend tell me I “don’t age” or “age in reverse.” Something like that. My secret?

    I was way, way fat when I was younger. My head looked like a thumb with vaguely discernible facial features. I was pushing 300 pounds and miserable. Truly hated myself. I steadily lost weight and mostly learned to keep it off (keto was huge, but not totally essential), then slowly added muscle. I’m not jacked. But the net effect is I look less like a puddle of misery than I used to.

    Also Minoxidil! $30 for six-month-plus supply of the Walmart brand and it’s been working better than expected, even at only half the recommended amount.



  • What’s especially wild to me, personally, is that I grew up reading these as a very young kid, like single digits. I would be excited when I saw a new one, because it was a “fun comic” to read to pass the time in church! It’s so, so, so, so, so, so fucked up. There was a spinning rack of them in the lobby of every church of a certain stripe.
