heyo just a psa: gc2b is not safe anymore. old binders from them are fine but new ones are way lower quality and will almost certainly mess up your ribs (think warping or breaks). don't get binders from amazon because they also tend to be dangerous. underworks seems to have maintained their good ratings, so if you need a binder consider going with them, and remember to always do your own research :D

niccolo machiavelli & biagio buonaccorsi

Machiavelli's Service to the Republic, John M. Najemy

eventually I'll read Sasso's writing on Machiavelli, but even reading Najemy's summary of the text with regards to Biagio and Machiavelli's relationship made me feel unwell™ in some kind of way like. even love. what an absolute gut punch pair of words to put in the middle of a sentence. I feel fine about it!! (a lie)

The Life and Times of Machiavelli, Pasquale Villari

AND NOW. regarding the scene. the letter exchanging hands is referencing their correspondence in general, but to also how Biagio was a collaborator to Machiavelli's plans (and a little bit about how some of Machiavelli's works were copied in Biagio's hand)

Machiavelli, Leonardo and the Science of Power, Roger D Masters

and regarding the red panel with the figure getting measured, it's about how Biagio had clothing for Machiavelli made to his own measurements in Machiavelli's absence.

Niccolò’s Smile, Maurizio Viroli

to tumblr’s trans people: I’m getting my first binder soon but I don’t know what brand to use. Which is your favorite? (I’m looking for something with a lot of compression)

If you’re cis and this shows up on your blog, PLEASE REBLOG FOR A BIGGER SAMPLE SIZE!

edit: I can’t change the poll, but after some research, it seems that gc2b’s binders are incredibly unsafe. Just want to put this here in case another trans guy is looking at this poll. Underworks seems to be the best option as far as I’ve seen from other people.

Schrödinger’s binder (I haven’t opened it yet and am scared if it will fit)

For reference my current binder I have outgrown and has spillage and looks like this and I hate it

Gotta open it but… scared also my cat is demanding dinner. Will keep updated

Yes she still has food in her dish she’s just a bitch

wip wednesday to celebrate me writing thru my pain haze:

“I wanted to tell you what a good job you did out there today.” “Yeah?” Duke raises an eyebrow at him. “Don’t strain yourself, old man.” Bruce snort-laughs, a very undignified and Bruce-like gesture. Something “Brucie” and, heaven forbid, Batman, would never do in a million years. “There is no pride muscle, at least not in my studies.” Well… If Bruce was going to leave himself wide open like that, of course Duke was going to poke. “Of course not,” Duke teasingly rolls his eyes. “Did they even have gay people in the stone age?” “I suppose they did,” Bruce says, matching Duke’s tone. “If I was there.”

#duke thomas #bruce wayne #batfam #bread talk #idk where this is going #honestly it just started with bruce trying (and failing thanks future vision) to sneak up on duke #and i think i want this to be a “ur overworking urself” “i am not overworking shit in fact im underworking so there" #teacher tells you to pace yourself and you tell them to fuck themself ya know? #anyway #i just like bruce and duke's dynamic #ive talked about this with z ad nauseam but i love them theyre so silly

I'm seeing people recommend underworks again so I am just letting y'all know the underworks binders do NOT flatten nearly as well as other options but despite that they still managed to fracture my ribs. So keep that in mind when shopping. They are cis owned and it shows through the product. Ever wear a bra and go ' yeah. A cis man definitely made this. ' that's the exact feeling you get with under works. It may work if you have A or B cups, maaaaybe a low C cup. But if you're anywhere above that then just don't. They roll up all the time if you have a belly and they are extremely painful to wear because of that. It's literally like a huge thick and tight rubber band is constricting your ribs when that happens and you ARE at a higher risk of fracture when this happens. I had to wear them for almost a year before I tried GC2B which leaps over mountains with how much better even the too small sizes where in comparison to underworks. Even with the drop in GC2Bs quality, I still wear the new binder tank top from them as my old underworks binder sits unused for about a year now.

Please do not buy from underworks. There are plenty of trans owed placed to support. And also, underworks sucks so you're just shooting yourself in the foot to avoid supporting trans folk at this point when buying from them.

Usually, when the Quality is better, I don't mention the company being cis owned but it's so obvious through the product that... It's cis owned lmao.

Just bought a binder

#some of you said not to use gc2b #so I used underworks

[beeish]

Folks that bind their chests, what is the best brand of binder? Especially for people who are fat and have a large chest. I haven’t had one that fits in several years and would like to get one soon!

gc2b being shitty now is so so bad for me specifically . <- his binder is starting to wear thin he has another one he can wear but its only a matter of time before that one wears out too

#text #yes i have tried spectrum.didnt fit #yes i have tried underworks. didnt fit. granted i got my underworks binder in 2018 but still #Yes i have tried compression sports bras. not ebough compression #Etc. #there is no hope for me it seems.
