In honor of breast cancer awareness month: it's really hard to get an accurate statistic but MANY many cancerous lumps are found by romantic partners.
Please, don't be afraid to say something if you feel like you detected a lump in your partner's breast. It's not an insult. It's okay if it's benign and you worried them for 'nothing' because breast cancer treatability is very dependent on stage. Early detection matters so much.
Be brave, if you feel something, say something 🩷

“But there is nothing noble about what Vought is doing. He is a fully competent, utterly committed radical ideologue. He lusts for counter-revolution and radical measures. There is no line he doesn’t feel justified to cross. He does not talk about the conflict with “the Left” in the idiom of democratic politics, but that of war. Vought is at war with large swaths of the population…..”
