To go a tad further, if you have chronic reflux there is the obvious discomfort caused by the feeling of acid creeping into your esophagus. Overtime, the acid can also do damage to the cells of your esophagus causing a condition called Barrett's Esophagus. This is not dangerous in and of itself but is considered a precancerous condition and requires monitoring.

    Interestingly, AKC testing showed pitbulls to be among the best breeds with regard to temperament testing. They are large, strong, and often owned by bad people and bred and (not) trained irresponsibly, but there is nothing to suggest that any problems pitbulls have are systemic to the breed.

    Hunter Pence has multiple world series rings and had the goofiest throwing and batting style. Turns out he has a back condition that caused his thoracic vertebrae to fuse giving him basically zero flexibility through his mid spine. Also just a fun weird guy.

    This may sound silly but there's a YouTube channel called cinema therapy and they have a series on non-toxic masculinity. I highly recommend the coverage of Rocky, how a true man's man expresses emotional vulnerability and love. Watching the channel in general has given me words for things I felt and experienced but didn't know how to talk about.

    Try a concealer with a lot of yellow, or just yellow color corrector if you choose to wear make up. Yellow will cancel out the blueish tint from the hair roots. Put your regular foundation over the top.

    Sorry if you already know this, but as a ciswoman with a lot facial redness (green for that!) I didn't learn about color correction until I was well into adulthood. And if it gives anyone a shortcut in their journey I'm happy.
